  • What musical genre references itself most in song lyrics?

    Jump

  • Great insights, thanks! One thing funk has going for it is that it's the only genre I know that might mention itself 50+ times in a single song: "Gotta have that funk" 😝

  • Why do people drink (flat) GingerAle when they sick or recuperating?

    Jump

  • Ginger can reduce nausea. Some households will have ginger ale but not actual ginger. Ginger ale without the carbonation is easier on your stomach than with carbonation

  • Ordered something off ebay, it comes in amazon packaging. wtf?

  • Yup scamazon tape

  • The seller also had amazon packaging tape. (The box was no reused)

  • How do I find a decent labor lawyer in my area to help ease along a workplace accomodations/disabillity claim?

    Jump

  • I have no legal experience but empathize and want to share some ideas.Can you afford to pay full legal fees for representation?Do you have a union or professional organization that can provide guidance?Does the nature of your work require a labour lawyer who specializes in that area? (e.g., military maybe?)

    Know how much you can afford (e.g., if you are 'pro bono' case) to include this when you reach out. Search for free/inexpensive (labour-related) legal clinics, search for worker/ employment/ disability (if that applies to you) advocacy groups and ask them for lawyer suggestions. How about emailing a local law school? Consider relaxing the 'in my geographical area' criterion if you're not getting any results.

    If you can get a knowledgeable and affordable lawyer anywhere in Canada willing to take your case on remotely, and you can e-meet with them - that seems pretty good too. Best of luck, friend! Hopefully some more knowledgeable heads than mine chime in here!

  • US sending ICE unit to Winter Olympics for security, prompting concern and confusion in Italy

    Jump

  • Such a bad look on Italy. They should be clearly saying "no" to US ICE and all US military/terrorism. Right on, Mayor Sala, though:

    Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala said that ICE would not be welcome in his city, which is hosting the Feb. 6 opening ceremony to be attended by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, as well as most ice sports.

    “This is a militia that kills, a militia that enters into the homes of people, signing their own permission slips. It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt,” Sala told RTL Radio 102.

  • The calls for a nationwide (US) shutdown this Friday (Jan 30) are growing louder

    Jump

  • Right on! In nursing, some of us do 3.5 x 12 (3 shifts one week, 4 the other). I like it!

  • Need Feedback: Leaflets for Anti-ICE Protests

    Jump

  • Sorry for providing suboptimal help 😅. I've now got the melody in my head and understand you want to sing the whole song and not just BC, BC, BCCCFor others: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bella_ciao - watch the video with the accordion playerTo be brutally honest, I liked the lyrics (and text, including 'gonna) of V1 better - both for metre (how it sounds singing) and consistency in feel (tone) of the songI prefer the last line in V2, but you might find a better oneI think this may be my best suggestion of all. Put a few musical notes around the margins or some other heads-up that these are lyrics to sing (hold onto this paper). "sing along" or "lyrics". Musical notes might be subtle but effectiveYou could maybe move the lower left text about the origin right beside/under the "Bella Ciao" title

    I wish I could sing with you and the group of people at the protest you'll be going to! ❤️ Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao Ciao Ciao!!! 🎶

  • Fair. I don't work in an M-F 9-5 industry either. I've never heard of 4x10. Is that a food service thing?

  • Bella isn’t the girl you leave behind to fight, she’s the peaceful life that you’re forsaking to do so

    tysm for explaining that! All the best 🥰

  • It's on a Friday. Aren't weekends Saturday and Sunday?

  • Need Feedback: Leaflets for Anti-ICE Protests

    Jump

  • Thanks for resisting ✊. Providing ideas in case any are helpful (probably not). Full disclosure, I don't know the meaning of the song

    • I think there might be room for a third period to the ellipsis at the top
    • Second paragraph: It might make sense to remove the ' before "gonna" - but I'm not sure
    • Last paragraph, a few ideas. "I'll be in prison" might make some people uncomfortable (as in "am I in danger?"). Singling out Renée and Alex is singling out ICE's two recent white & non-Hispanic killings among their predominantly Hispanic/BIPOC killings. In the interest of gender equality, can it be suggested that Bella protests too versus staying home

    Neat idea, and thanks for sharing some inspiration!! Stay safe. ✌️ & ❤️

  • The dildo distribution delegation

    Jump

  • I think their writing is a little poetic, fitting for such an emotionally trying and hard-to-hold-hope time such as this. Their analysis of the fragility of these criminal thugs is spot-on and makes a valuable contribution to understanding and resisting this fascism. This is a time for us to band together and support one another, whatever form their resistance takes, so long as it's not hurting non-fascists

  • The Trump Administration wants your DNA and social media

    Jump

  • Not only that but a visitor will have to submit their family members' emails:

    "If the proposed changes are adopted after the 60-day consultation, then millions of travellers to the U.S. will be forced to use a U.S. government mobile phone app, submit their social media from the last five years and email addresses used in the last ten years, including of family members. They’re also proposing the collection of DNA."

  • A real reason why Nazi-ICE is in Minnesota

  • What??? incorrigible? I extended a good-willed offer for you to supply the change that you were requesting, and in response you report me to the moderators?

    (Edit: You've wasted a good amount of mine - and now the mods' - time I'm using the block button for what it's for)
