These guys at NYC Sanitation are paid 150k a year and retire on 125k a year pensions til they die......

Salary of public sanitation workers should be more than the salary of any politician

They don’t get those figures until they old af and in certain positions but also like bruh of any job to pay peolle nsane mkney this is a flex

Sanitation is one of the most dangerous jobs out there, and one of the core reasons we have eliminated or diminished many illnesses. Sanitation workers deserve their weight in gold.

Doctors cure individuals of diseases

Sanitation workers protect *entire cities* from diseases

If you genuinely believe that sanitation workers don't deserve to be well paid, you might need to take a good hard look at your internalized classism

This is terrible but today when I was playing volleyball outside with some friends one of their children (18 months) was sort of ambling around on his stumpy little toddler legs and so we were all trying to be careful and like not spike the ball onto the baby but then he wandered over to his father, who picked him up bc dad reflexes, and then the ball got passed over to the dad and he sort of had a no thoughts moment and instinctively used his child to smack the volleyball over to the next person. Like he just swung the kid and used his legs like a baseball bat. I'm never going to forget his face of premature regret mid baby-manuever right when he realized what he was doing AND the instant he realized his wife saw it happen. Anyway the baby was fine he didn't make contact with the ball all that hard and he was just mad his dad wouldn't use him as a club again but I had to sit down because I laughed so hard I cried.

ok someone gifted me the commissions open badge, but now fun thing about those badges, you can only display one of the types of badges at once, so it's either check marks or open commissions for me

i mean thats kinda how the world works isn't it

"I want," the man said to the art robot, and then described an image in some detail. "Certainly," said the art robot. A printout came out of its chest. "Thank y- Hey! What's this?" "A list of artists who make images of the kind you describe, and who are accepting commissions."

This is a horror story to a techbro and a feel-good comedy to anyone with a sense of human decency.

If ever there was a paragraph that described Canadian-Brand Racist Jackassetry, THIS IS VERY IT.

‘When you believe niceness disproves the presence of racism, it’s easy to start believing bigotry is rare, and that the label racist should be applied only to mean-spirited, intentional acts of discrimination. The problem with this framework–besides being a gross misunderstanding of how racism operates in systems and structures enabled by nice people–is that it obligates me to be nice in return, rather than truthful. I am expected to come closer to racists. Be nicer to them. Coddle them.’

It’s so good to see this articulated!

They may be Nice and they may be Polite but they are not good and they are not kind.
