  • Seems the strikes are starting to work. Not quite there yet as ac still isn’t guaranteed

    But it incentivized due to extra pay during hot conditions

    In what is likely an industry first, the workers at Homegrown won language in their union contract in March that could help with that. The workers fought for a clause that allows them to receive time-and-a-half pay when temperatures in the store reach 82 degrees Fahrenheit and double pay when store temperatures reach 86 degrees F. (According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, when a workplace reaches 77 degrees F, it becomes potentially unsafe for workers to engage in “strenuous work.”)
















  • Works well? In relation to what? Carrier pigeons? Did you forget the /S ?

    The only thing I’ve seen it do well is share recorded videos almost immediately.

    It doesn’t even send messages as you’d expect. It’ll show sent on your side but the other person never gets it

    Someone calls and it rings, but the answer button has a 50% chance of not being there so you can’t actually join unless it’s a group call and then you can after it rings for 30 seconds and you don’t even know who called unless they ping you saying they’re calling

    Sharing your screen takes a few tries occasionally and sometimes requires you to rejoin the call

    Notifications? What notifications. They work so rarely it’s become a habit to manually check every few minutes

    And it opens docs in teams!? Who wants that hot garbage

    And the freezing! It regularly freezes for 20 seconds when doing anything in it

    I’d gladly take Skype over the garbage that teams is

    And if that wasn’t bad enough, it’s apparently such trash that it triggers me when someone has anything nice to say about teams. Sorry 😅



  • I see what you’re saying but they are specifically worried about anal sex. You’re welcome to switch up partners as much as you want as long as anal sex isn’t involved, which is much more likely and much easier for the heterosexual community.

    Same goes with prep. I’m sure that there are circumstances that would have individuals taking it that are not related to their sexual orientation.

    I’m just pointing out that despite the major improvement it still excludes gay men quite thoroughly from donating blood.

    Unfortunately it applies to gay men only. Our straight counterparts can switch up partners as much as they want.

    Well, it’d apply to bisexual men who’ve had male partners as well.

    I should also point out it doesn’t have to be new partners. Just if you’ve had more than one partner you can’t donate even if it’s an exclusive polygamous relationship.


  • Sort of. Still can’t donate if you’re taking prep (hiv preventative) or if you’ve had sex with multiple people.

    Need to be off prep for 3 months and not have sex with new or multiple partners.

    The no prep part is a tough ask. Especially with how healthcare is

    Much better than it was but it still excludes a huge portion of the community
