To give DIOR way fairer a light than it deserves, this is the labour cost, not the material cost. I assume that is substantially higher, but I imagine still not anywhere close to $2000+.

I've never been in the habit of buying name-brand fashion items purely because of the fact that a significant part of what you pay for is the brand's signature - you're not necessarily paying for something better than the rest.

Ah great - SCOTUS will likely side with the e-sig companies, with absolutely no bribes involved, then e-cig companies will flood the market with colourful, flavoured products designed to entice young people (who may never have smoked otherwise) into starting on e-cigs.

I knew what these were the moment I first saw them advertised as a way to get people to quit smoking - they are, and always were a trojan horse designed to entice a new generation of nicotine addicts. Nothing more, nothing less.

While I wouldn't wish death on anyone, it would probably be one of the better things to happen to American politics this year, as you'd essentially be beheading the MAGA movement - it is unlikely that anyone else could retake those reigns with how centred the movement is around Trump specifically, man's practically worshipped like a new Jesus to them.

If it can be justified by hatred or billionaire interests, it'll absolutely be on there. Because if there's one thing Republicans hate more than anything, it's people that are different (or think differently) to them leading happy lives.

Of course Clarence, the most openly corrupt, would be the one to dissent against the OSHA case. Clarence can go fuck himself

It really is. It's the same victim blaming logic you get with cyber-bullying. Simply not looking at it doesn't change the fact that it is there in the first place.

So HR left us with just two choices, assured us they were the best of the best, and of course it's two geriatrics.

... one of whom is a rehire that tried to lynch us when we laid him off the first time. Good job HR, you wonder why people hate you.

Not that I would ever suggest it, but I bet the moment a president even attempted to abuse this official power against these six conservative traitors to democracy, they'd desperately try to walk this decision back - they only care for the potential of abuse when it negatively affects them

Sovcit yet again misunderstands basic economics.

A vast oversimplification, but currencies hold value because of a combination of being backed up by material assets, and widespread trust in the backer of those assets.

If your currency is neither backed by something of value, nor trusted by literally anybody, then your currency holds no value - end of story.

If anybody could just write note on a random piece of paper that said it was worth $10 million and cash it at the bank, don't they think somebody high-profile would've done just that by now?

Fair enough. Subordinate is the term I've always heard used. Direct reports just sounds like the sugar coated version to me.

It really saddens to me see how many managers out there treat their subordinates terribly, and then act surprised when their subordinates do the same - as though employees are meant to greatful for their terrible treatment

I'd love to agree with you - but when people say that LLMs are stochastic parrots, this is what they mean...

LLMs don't actually know what the words they're saying mean, they just know what words are most likely to be next to each other based on training data.

Because they don't know the meaning of what they're saying, they also don't know the factuality of what they're saying - as such they simply can't self-fact check.
