Where do people get off thinking they can tell people what they can do with their property? If someone wants to buy a Picasso and wipe their ass with it, it's none of my business. I am not entitled to other people's property. I'm thinking AI delusion may be more powerful than TDS... people lose all sense when they get so emotional about these subjects.

All seems really short sighted. It's like squeezing a balloon... doesn't work unless it's universally applied. There's little reason to believe that there will be universal applications of such regulations and the incentives are enormous for those countries who choose not to strictly regulate. Given the incentive for others, there's enormous incentive to not implement it yourself as not to fall behind.

Pandora's box has been opened and there's simply no closing it. It would be like attempting to regulate earthquakes as a tsunami is approaching your shores... if it makes you feel better, go right ahead... but that tidal wave is coming regardless.

You need to go back to school. The Bill of Rights are restrictions upon the federal government which were later extended, in a number of discrete instances, under the 14th Amendment to state and local governments. They in no way apply to private entities.

Your assumption that you have some right to privacy conflicts with the most basic of rights, that of property. You have no right to my property. If I wish to make detailed notes about your comings and goings in my notebook you have no right to dictate what I may do with my notebook.

A distinction without a difference. That the dashcam isn't actively processing the data which its sensors are receiving is immaterial. You don't own the photons and don't have a right to what I choose to do with my property.

My ex-wife had a temporary ostomy and she went to the office after she recovered from the operation. Shit, she was restricted from driving for six months due to having had a seizure and I had to drive her to work every day, while working myself and carting around our daughter. Wasn't fun, but we made it work. Americans have gotten way too soft... assuming so much is impossible when our ancestors faced far worse and would give their left nut to have it so easy.

Workplace accommodations means providing that private bathroom or screen reading setups for the visually impaired.

Back in the 90s I worked at a JC Penney catalog call center. There was a woman who was in a motorized wheelchair who was blind. They equipped her with a screen reader and she was a great employee. I think if this lady could manage to get to work then most folks whining can probably do so as well. I like working from home as much as the next guy, but this isn't the correct way to do it.

He's not wrong... no one is forced to work there. As long as the job market is tight the employees have less bargaining power and won't be able to make such demands. But the company should also realize that many folks will give less than 100% and do just enough to fly under the radar if they feel the company isn't listening.

The building cost is just a perception thing. It's not as if they're paying for home offices plus the building, they're paying for just the building regardless. If it gets used or not doesn't actually affect the bottom line. If anything with less people there's less demand for HVAC and slightly less staff required as you can clean the bathrooms and empty trashcans on a less frequent basis. You've also got cafetarias, less wear and tear on furniture, etc.

Even Ruth Bader-Ginsberg admitted that RvW was an incorrect decision.

You obviously don't understand the Constitution. It's an issue for the states. The scope of the federal government was intended to be miniscule not all encompassing. There's a reason state constitutions exist... there would be no need if the US Constitution was intended to control every aspect of our lives.

Just yesterday I was in the office and in the middle of writing some new functions for automations I'm working on and had to stop in the middle of a flow state because I had to leave before traffic got really bad. It took me a long time to get back into the flow when I resumed work. Yet on days when I'm working from home I don't have such interruptions.

I know for some people working from home doesn't yield productivity. But for some of us it really does. My kid is grown and out of the house, my wife works from home on occasion and we know how to leave one another alone to work, and we each have dedicated work spaces with multiple monitors and comfortable chairs. Spending 90 minutes a day fighting traffic really doesn't add to my productivity.

I don't really remember using much on the web in 1994, I recall Gopher having more information I was looking for at that time. It wasn't really until 1995 that I remember all of the Geocities websites that popped up with awful backgrounds and animations.

When you hire contractors to build a fence or repair a leaking pipe do you research how much it costs for their daily living expenses? Surely you want to ensure that you are paying them a living wage, right? I doubt you would get multiple bids and pick the best value regardless of each individual's living expenses.

No one said their only source of news was Truth Social. One juror said they try to read as many sources as possible, and has seen some of Trump's tweets FROM Truth Social which were retweeted on Twitter/X.

You can even do something unthinkable today and let your kid play with other kids their age unsupervised like we did when we were kids. They could learn how to deal with conflict among themselves and later grow up to be resilient adults who don't need to be coddled.
