When you hear "Solid wood", how do you interpret that?
  • Particle board and plywood is made of sawdust and wood shavings. My definition of solid wood is something that came directly from a tree with the only major processing being cutting it into board, sheet, or similar.

  • Amazon Says It Has a First Amendment Right to Union Bust
  • I mean, if you took what I said as a personal attack I don't know what else to say. Are you sure it's me that needs to get a grip?

  • Amazon Says It Has a First Amendment Right to Union Bust
  • Most of Amazon's revenue comes from AWS (a tech company), therefore Amazon is appropriately called a tech company.

  • Amazon Says It Has a First Amendment Right to Union Bust
  • What a dumb hill to die on. Are you anti-labor or something? This will affect all of amazon, and AWS is one of the largest tech companies out there. If you don't want this post on your feed, I invite you to hide it or block OP. The votes clearly show the community doesn't agree with you and that they don't mind this on their feed.

  • Amazon Says It Has a First Amendment Right to Union Bust
  • You do know about AWS, right?? This applies to them too.

  • A note on Universal Monk:
  • That would be awesome of you.

  • Harris’s lead over Trump slips to 1 point in new national survey
  • They also went through my post history yesterday to look for me posting "pro-Harris propaganda", and when they failed they had to resort to "Oh wow, look, more anti-GOP propaganda that your [sic] posting.". Pretty pathetic that they had to resort to defending the GOP and basically a "no u".

    They add nothing but disinformation and trolling.

  • 4 AM: Sleep or Make the Most of It?
  • Any sleep will improve your work day, at least in my experience. It will still be pretty rough, of course.

    I try my best to practice the basic sleep hygiene tip of not laying in bed when I can't sleep. I get up, do something else (like I am now) and wait for the sleepiness to set in before going back to bed (even if it's 4 am).

  • Trump visited a Bucks County McDonald’s to cook some french fries and work the drive-thru
  • "please tell me your opinion of something totally unrelated to the posted article so that I can sea lion all over it regardless of what it is, it's the only way I know. if you don't tell me I'll make it up for you so I can do it anyway"

  • Trump visited a Bucks County McDonald’s to cook some french fries and work the drive-thru
  • "Funny how you are ignoring my invitations to a fake debate about unrelated articles (because I like to sealion and was in fact banned for doing this exact thing in the past)"

  • Trump visited a Bucks County McDonald’s to cook some french fries and work the drive-thru
  • Hmm, I just checked it again and surprise, this article is still not about Harris.

  • Trump visited a Bucks County McDonald’s to cook some french fries and work the drive-thru
  • Yes, the author of this article is helping Trump promote that he "worked" at McDonald's even though it was basically a set, to make low income individuals believe that he's "one of them", and you are spreading it. You shared propaganda like Trump wants, and you knew that when you posted it.

    This is not a Harris article, no matter how much you sealion and attempt to make it about her.
