@Ngore_Slade @applechews_ what a fucking insane comment to make HOLY SHIIT YOU PURITANICAL DEVIL. Did you even read the whole thread where is your empathy? basic human decency and basic respect is seriously lacking with you what the hell man.

Years ago, I lost a family member to commercial sex work. She contracted HIV and couldn’t accept it. Within two years, it progressed to AIDS. I nursed her for three weeks before she died. I had her phone throughout and it kept buzzing 🧵

🚨 Historical decision by Union Berlin as German club appoint Marie-Louise Eta as their head coach until June. Union lost at Heidenheim, sacked the head coach Steffen Baumgart and put Marie-Louise Eta in charge until the end of the season. Ets becomes the first female head coach in the history of men’s Bundesliga.

love how we are back here again... I However hold the radical POV that most Christians follow Paul, a Larper who never met Jesus and not the teachings of Jesus Christ himself.

@Unreal_Kev youre woried ayi? Me Im confident ya winning the next tie

Yeah we are cooked 😂

Your 40-hour work week was invented by a car salesman who needed you to have free time so you'd buy more stuff. Henry Ford cut his factories to 40 hours in 1926. He'd figured out that mass production doesn't work if your own workers are too broke and exhausted to be customers. Before Ford, factory jobs during the Industrial Revolution ran 10 to 16 hours a day, six days a week. Kids worked those same hours. Some manufacturing workers clocked 80 to 100 hours a week. The pushback started way before Ford. In 1817, a Welsh factory owner named Robert Owen came up with "eight hours labor, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest." Took 121 years for that to become actual law. And Ford didn't start this fight. Unions had been organizing for the eight-hour day since the 1860s. In 1919, over 4 million American workers walked off the job across 3,000 separate strikes. Ford was a billionaire who adopted what millions of workers had already demanded. The real legal win came in 1938 when FDR signed the Fair Labor Standards Act, the law that created minimum wage, overtime pay, and a cap on work hours. His Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins, was the first woman to ever hold a US cabinet job. She spent years battling courts and corporations to push it through. The law originally capped the week at 44 hours. By 1940 it dropped to 40. I went back and looked at what work was like before the Industrial Revolution, and it messed with my head. An Oxford historian named James Thorold Rogers found medieval workers averaged about eight hours a day. Economist Juliet Schor estimated English peasants after the Black Death (the plague that killed a third of Europe) worked about 150 days a year. Sundays off, plus dozens of religious holidays and festivals. Rogers wrote that workers in the 1890s pushing for the eight-hour day were "simply striving to recover what their ancestors worked four or five centuries ago." The factories didn't invent hard work. They killed the days off. The legal standard is still 40, but a 2024 Gallup survey found full-time American workers average 42.9 hours a week. Luxembourg, the most productive country per hour on earth, averages 29. In 2025, researchers at Boston College published the biggest four-day-week study ever in a top science journal. They followed 2,896 workers at 141 companies across six countries for six months, all working 32 hours at full pay. Workers slept better, felt less stressed. Over 90% of those companies kept the shorter week for good. A separate UK trial found revenue went up 1.4% and employees quitting dropped 57%. We've been doing 40 hours for 86 years based on a deal between unions and factory owners, signed by a Depression-era president, originally dreamed up by a man who sold cars. No doctor or sleep researcher ever signed off on that number. The best data we have says we could do with less.

@MrNChimAh lol im actually binging the new season now. I cant lie me I like Horner, he wa ruthless and a winner. Is he an ass> yes but man you gotta respect the hustle

I do think the modern anime community takes this show for granted. This is a top 10 of all time calibre anime and its not being treated as such. i was there when FMA was running and people knew then it was great. That fanfare is dilluted I wonder why?

@chiqqashanna @arsenalpanda11 @Sir__Rendar JK wants a trans villain

@arsenalpanda11 @Sir__Rendar 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

If they decided to audition both men and women they probably already knew Tilda Swinton was their top choice and they'd be 100% correct.

If they make Voldemort a transgender villain hellbent on destroying a child I will cry laughing

today everything is so enshittified to the point opening any program or moving to another menu takes literally almost forever

@Unreal_Kev vindicated as per

Real 😂

Important to note that this position of the Catholic Church predates the birth of both Adam Smith and Karl Marx by centuries.
