I was talking to someone about Amazon laying off 30,000 people over the past few months and their response was that’s relatively small given COVID over hiring. I thought that was insensitive and decided to look up how many people they hired during the pandemic.
They hired half a million people in one year. 🤯
@drawnonglass @MattMerk @pluralistic
my laptop at the moment...
I just rewatched #StarTrek Insurrection.
"We believe that when you create a machine to do the work of a man, you take something away from the man."
The movie is from 1998.
@jik In the general spirit of this story, I remember being 13 years old when Apollo 11 landed.
We were watching Walter Cronkite telling us that the LEM was open, and Armstrong was crawling out to get on the ladder to the surface …
And the *phone rang.*
It was one of the neighbors, calling about something completely inconsequential, oblivious to what was going on.
My mom actually talked to her; I was going insane.I went to the phone jack in the wall, and mimed yanking the cord out while making the gesture of a knife sliding across my neck, telling her to cut the call.
She didn’t. I went to the TV, and tripled the volume. That did the trick.
