  • I have never once seen a pay scale that has seperate grades for women. The "women make less" statistic is weighted by women taking time off to raise children, that they are more likely to be primary caregivers and less able to do overtime and so on. (Which yes does figure into the problem)

    That isnt to say that in jobs where staff can negotiate their own salary or recieve offers there IS DEFINITELY a problem with women recieving lower offers. Also being offered less chances for advancement, etc. But there isnt a company that would ever have the balls to deliberately put a lower pay scale for women on paper these days.

  • This makes perfect sense. The city will have insurance for accidents. They bill him, he sues, the city refers it to their insurer and the insurance pays the suit and costs.

    It only sounds ridiculous on the surface.

  • Its all a very complex equation of quality vs additives vs effort vs cost vs time vs storability vs fridge life vs convenience.

    Some stuff is just too much or too little of some of them.

  • Deficits are a funny thing.

    How are you doing it? How long for? How big a deficit?

    Previously its been hard, but I did a lot of research about macros, meals, using fat content to slow digestion etc... Once I got my diet dialed it was easy, because I figured out a few meals that were FUCKING HUGE and still low enough in calories that I got to be "full" at least once a day and hit all my nutrients.

    That being said I'm on the last 2 weeks of a 750 cal deficit for 12 weeks and yeah, its starting to get real. Ive had a couple of days this week where Ive said "Fuck it" and had a second protein bar after dinner taking my deficit to only 500. After this I'll be transitioning back to maintenance cals for 8 weeks although I have promised myself a "Mega blowout" meal of a whole costco pizza and I can eat until I dont want any more pizza in 1 sitting.

    Its not so much that you feel "hungry" but you learn to love the feeling of not existing on a sugar and fat cocktail 24 hours a day. I think I'm actually going to have trouble readjusting to an extra 750 cals a day, let alone going onto bulking cals at some point.

  • Ive found its made doing end-runs around enshitification easier.

    For example Trying to find a front suspension top for a peugeot 206 gti with google means being recommended everything front suspension for the peugeot 207, 208, Vw Gti, Swift Gti... not to mention the websites "Best price on insert what you searched for here" only they sell nothing.

    So I ask chat gpt for the part number and search that.

  • I like the styling too, its got a wicked 80s cyberpunk/Delorian/Tron vibe. I dislike... everything else. I get why a lot of people wouldnt like it, its a love it or hate it deal.

    But now that Musk is such a polarising figure and the truck is such a polarising design I think a lot of people cant or wont separate the two.

  • Kamala low key yeets shade at Donald Trump over cappin 💯 💯 fr.

  • I think that in a practical sense theres also a difference between drinking water and water to top up a swimming pool or run a sprinkler for hours a day to keep your lawn perfect.

    Policing or regulating this in any meaningful way would be a nightmare but its a legitimate counterpoint.

  • Getting windmill dunked on by 50 Cent.

  • I write parody lyrics all the time, they are childish and incredibly vulgar.

    Like the time I off the top of my head changed the lyrics to "I want to break free" to "I want to fuck Steve" and serenaded my buddy Steven. I made it through most of the song with it being pretty close.

    I said "I need to write that down" and Steve was like "Nah, spontaneously that shit was funny. Writing it down would just make it weird" I was inclined to agree.

  • We're also in the lead up to christmas.

  • Most savory protein options are like some sort of jerky.

  • A shitload of my favorite brand of protein bars, tastes just close enough to a chocolate bar that I dont feel cheated.

    Also the fitness branded protein ice creams. 360 calories and I get to fuck up a whole pint watching TV?

    And both of them help me hit my protein targets for the day.

  • I like to joke that I train and diet so my wife is afraid to let me do school runs in case I run into the thirsty divorved mums.

  • As predatory and invasive as google is, its still a small miracle that theres a free add supported tier.

  • "Too tired to jerk off" sounds like an album name for a dad-punk band.

  • Save the core and rind, blend it up and use it as a pork marinade.

    The bromelaide? enzymes in the pineapple break down proteins, you just need to make sure you rinse it off, pat the pork dry and then season, salt kills the enzymes.

  • Ska with a Ukulele instead of a trumpet.

  • I genuinely believe at this point that Trump wants out but they wont let him, I think the first assassination attempt rattled the shit out of him. He went along as a willing figurehead, he was never a true believer. He was told they would be behind him and protect him as long as he did what he was told, they would . Now he has realised too late that a figurehead is also a lightning rod but that his only way out is through and they will knock him off or throw him to the wolves if he rocks the boat.
