There are 15,000 McDonald’s in the US and turnover is pretty high. It’s an old stat but I don’t expect it’s changed much over time.

My husband and MIL both worked there so it tracks with my family members at least!

One out of eight Americans have worked at McDonald’s, so that’s quite a lot.

He’s surrounded by toadies who told him he’d win the first one, and he lost.

True: they’re obviously neither a woman nor a man with empathy.

You’re obviously not a woman: if you were you’d know that we talk about this stuff all the time, and that it absolutely is not obvious to women in blue states how scary things are in red states.

Reverse Melisandre.

404 Media is doing excellent work; if you like this kind of thing you might want to sign up for their newsletter.

I thought it meant that all the icons/interfaces for AI seem to have a graphical gradient between colors, usually cool colors like blue/purple/pink. (Like the face in the meme)

Same!

Because every page is insane bullshit. Here’s one I saw a post about and looked up, where they want to just straight up fire everyone in the Treasury Department who’s participated in a DEI initiative:

If you’re willing to do “whatever it takes” including instituting fascism, you’re a fascist.

I believe they do this the same way they do traffic jams, by seeing how many android phones are at the location vs. average.

And Onion articles, and other satire.

Sooo much more. The Baroque Cycle is like Cryptonomicon squared.

Pretty much Jack Shaftoe’s storyline in Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle

You should think about reading the Declaration of Independence sometime:

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

You didn’t read the article. These are images that appeared in the documentary and were not marked as generated. It was implied they were real photos.
