The shade of orange is pretty distinct I think.

Worker cooperatives (and often cooperatives in general) are an example of this. They almost always exist within a capitalist system, so are not able to completely separate themselves from all aspects of capitalism, but they are definitely examples of common ownership of means of production.

Specifically you can look up the Mondragon Corporation which is probably the biggest/best known example of a workers cooperative but there are many others. There are lots of variations on this same concept - one where risk, rewards, and decision-making are shared more equitably among everybody participating. I think the most interesting are food co-ops (and sometimes CSAs), utility cooperatives, and housing cooperatives. These are all over the place and are often quietly successful examples of common ownership.

Urinary tract crystals? Is that kittney stones?

The reason a business might not hire a CEO from within is because the CEO needs to represent the interests of the board/shareholders, not necessarily the employees or customers. An existing employee will probably have existing loyalties/disloyalties to different parts/people in the business and not be able to represent the board/shareholders in the way that they want.

Native flowers attract bees and offer pollen + nectar for them :)

Don't forget that honeybees aren't the only bees nor the only pollinators. Ask your local university or beekeepers / native plants association about what you can do to help out in your area!

My new bedtime routine would be filling up the custard freezer.

Lemmy actually already has something called "reputation". You have -3 sorry.

Employers will never do this. They would rather allow their employees to starve.

Yeah, a magazine is more like a "topic" but that's too broad of a term I think.

My understanding of the term "magazine" is that it's supposed to denote that a magazine is composed of different kinds of content that fall under the same general topic, just like a real paper magazine is a mix of content (i.e. long form articles, short essays, q&a sections, photos, the fancy CD in the back, etc.) So a kbin magazine can encompass text posts, photos, videos, microblogs, etc.

Every now and then I think "Why isn't X thing standardized?! Why hasn't somebody sane come along to save us form this mess!" And then I think of that strip and realize why lol

YouTube pays content creators: https://www.youtube.com/howyoutubeworks/product-features/monetization/

This pay likely makes up a significant portion of YouTube creators' revenue in addition to in-video sponsor spots/whatever a creator's equivalent is. Without this kind of payment it's not likely that a YouTube competitor could take off in a meaningful way.

Age of Mythology has a weirdly good soundtrack, especially Eat Your Potatoes.
