Yes for white collar. Blue collar remote means you drive 100+ miles to different sites to service industrial shit. I used to be an application engineer/FSR for a water chemistry company, serving power plants. Other regions had steel mills and paper mills, and I’m glad I only ever went to one to pick up equipment and drive back to regional HQ.

One of us doesn’t know what “virtue candidate” means, and I’m pretty sure it’s you. I understood it to mean “the candidate with high ethical standards” or “the candidate that focuses on integrity and decency for all constituents rather than attacking the opponent”. Idk what that has to do with DEI.

Why would you say that I’m not capable of reading an actual book? The fuck did I do?

“Why am I in trouble for this? We at Audi have a proud history of supporting the Nazi efforts.”

Twice. He achieved that twice. He did it in the first term when he failed to address COVID properly, and then people put him back in office where he’s already done more damage in half the time. I’m almost certain that our place on the world stage is irreversibly gone. And people continue to cheer as he yanks more and more jenga blocks without even the courtesy of a test poke. They’ll continue cheering when the tower comes crashing down. They are too dumb to recognize how fucked they are.

In relation to your hill: While you’re entirely correct, that’s absurdly small potatoes compared to industrial water use. Yes, we should be conscious of our water use and limit unnecessary overuse, but a higher priority ought to be regulating industrial use. Data centers are the obvious example of using way too much for bullshit that ain’t worth the water or power. Speaking of power, we could reduce water use by power plants. Nearly all generate power by boiling water. I’m a power plant operator at a plant that happens to use reclaim water as our source water, and we purify on-site for the main process, and we have a brine concentrator and crystallizer on-site to recycle the cooling tower blowdown and remove the solids to a dumpster that goes to a landfill. Unfortunately we burn methane, so I can’t say that we’re green, but we at least discharge zero water into local waterways (except storm drains when it rains).

My hill: Vote with your wallet. If you really believe in something, stop giving money to companies fighting against it. I won’t buy chikfila because the owners actively spend money on gay conversion camps and lobby to reverse the legality of same sex marriage. It’s impossible to research every little thing before every purchase, and sometimes there’s no reasonable alternative, but something like chikfila is easy to avoid. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Little changes can add up, and doing anything even a little bit better is an improvement over not trying.

Bonus hill: Put your fucking grocery cart into the cart corral. It takes ten seconds and prevents cars from getting hit. It’s kind of the simplest measure for societal decency. I don’t believe in the death penalty, but what value are you contributing to society if you’re too selfish to return your fucking cart?
