It can be fairly common in blue collar work too. Pretty much anything that’s skill over knowledge. Though programming is that one profession that rides the line between the two “worlds”

Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•Americans can’t afford their cars any more and Wall Street is worried
23·8 months agoUhh, how much do you think blue collar folk make? A lot of them could pay that off in a year if they have no other obligations, 5 year loan would be no problem. And more to the point, why does this feel like you’re denigrating blue collar work by insinuating they get paid shit?

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Pretty much every day someone parks their car on the tram tracks and blocks our city's tram network from operatingEnglish
5·8 months agowhat Americans call manslaughter
Yes and no. We use homicide too, but homicide just means one person was killed by another person. That’s used more in medical situations or law enforcement reports. Manslaughter is a legal term and comes in when the state/courts are doing the whole charging part. Then there’s the whole manslaughter vs murder that trips people up too since those are both legal terms. I believe the main difference between them is intent.

10·8 months agoIt doesn’t have to be physically on the track to impede operation. Better phrasing would’ve been it was in the path of the tram, I suppose.
It can, but it doesn’t mean it will be good or useful at all lol but I get what you’re saying. Government is for people, business is for profit. People and profit are not compatible as the purpose of the entity. Just look at the US Healthcare “Industry” for the most glaring example of this.

12·8 months agoWhat happened the 3rd week of April? Fedora got a massive spike there. The other one has a small bump at that time as well
Interesting. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard it used outside of like a crime gang in a movie after they finish a job - “here’s your cut (of the overall package)”, etc.
I’d be kinda pissed if they only gave me a cut (partial) of my pay. Language is fun and English sucks lol

46·8 months agoSo because on a post about Russian state media someone only comments on the Russian state and now they’re a bigot because they also didn’t denounce every other asshole every time they talk? That’s just unreasonable
Wait a minute… you didn’t invent lying on the internet. I did! That’s really cool about those other things though
