    I think we need a doctors note for more than two days

    I don’t understand that policy. The only times in the last 4 years that I’ve needed more than 2 days of sick leave was because I had covid, and I think that’s a very common experience. And people with covid should absolutely not be going to the doctors office and exposing themselves to the sick and elderly. If someone has covid, you should be telling them to stay home. We’re currently in the middle of a worldwide pandemic.

    You should read these memes slower so you can pay attention more. This meme is about calling in healthy on the day of. People don’t know if they’re going to be healthy in two days. So your comment has the opposite meaning of the one intended. You’re saying you do ask questions if someone asks for time off on the day, and therefore that you’re a restrictive boss who wouldn’t allow this meme.



  • I’m going to be very excited for the Steam Deck when it comes out. Though I feel like Valve has been building hype around it for a little too long. I feel like they should have started advertising a year or a year and a half from release date. And considering they haven’t even announced a release date yet, perhaps that magical date is in the future. By the time Valve actually starts selling the thing, the hype might be all dried up.

    Obesity isn’t a social inequality problem, except in the sense that obese people are more likely to be poor, and to suffer obesity due to stress, poor nutrition, and addiction. Obese people are not oppressing anyone. If you want to talk about food waste while people starve, then talk about the corporations throwing perfectly good food in dumpsters that they put a padlock on to stop homeless people from dumpster diving.

    Sure, obesity was a sign of privilege and oppression 200 years ago, before modern agricultural practices such as the use of pesticides and heavy machinery. These days, there isn’t too little food, there’s too much. Starvation isn’t a problem of natural scarcity, and certainly not a problem of people eating too much. It’s a product of artificial scarcity, wherein good food is thrown away because people can’t pay for it. Your political theory is two centuries out of date. It’s time to stop hating fat people.
