Money.

The answer to any “Why is company X fucking everyone?” is always because it makes some asshole somewhere an obscene amount of profit.

Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of the human mind.

The corporation continues as a separate legal entity. The business assets and liabilities belong to the corporation itself, not its owner. His shares would be passed to his next of kin or, if he didn’t have one, would become property of the state and most likely auctioned off.

Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory

Cultural Marxism is a far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory that misrepresents Western Marxism (especially the Frankfurt School) as being responsible for modern progressive movements, identity politics, and political correctness.

Assumedly, since it was a red shirt that proclaimed the wearer was a Cultural Marxist, that it was poking fun. Proclaiming “I am responsible for progressivism!” in effect.

“Economies go up and down, it doesn’t matter.”

Is probably the least politically and economically conscious thing you could have said.

Are you paying attention AT ALL to what’s currently going on in the world? Or do you just not give a shit?

Leaving out the fact that America’s economy is in freefall and it’s currently experiencing a fascist collapse is…a choice.

What’s more important? Your sister or whether or not she practices Islam?

You can absolutely take the fundamentalist route on this, but 99% likelihood it won’t work and she’ll disappear from your life forever. People who’ve already made the decision to leave their faith almost never respond positively to threats of damnation to make them return.

Do you have non-Muslim friends? If so, you might need to examine your feelings and opinions about why it’s okay for them to not be Muslim, but not your sister.

Bottom line is every human being makes their own decisions about what to believe. Your sister has made her decision. You can support that or not, depending on what you’re comfortable with, but you can’t just decide to change her decision for her. Life doesn’t work that way.

I personally have never lived somewhere where I don’t lock the doors, even if I’m home. It just makes me feel safer.

Conversely, my dad, who lives about 15 minutes from me, has never locked the front door of the house in the 45 years I’ve been alive. When he goes away somewhere, he leaves the garage door unlocked so neighbors can borrow tools and the kids in the neighborhood can grab a ball if they need one. Nothing has ever gone missing.

If you want to continue having a relationship with your sister, let her make her own choices.

Nothing says “I need to never speak to my family again.” like some good old religious oppression.

Spez can eat my ass in hell if he thinks he’s getting any more of my info.

Meta said at the outset that they were fully transparent.

Pass on further delegating my brain to a machine.

“Give us more data so we can take any of the effort out of deciding what to like.” is a big miss for me.

I’ll happily take my 30 minutes of scrolling Bandcamp and YouTube at bedtime for new artists if it means that my preferences and habits are none of your fucking business.

Because Reddit is a haven for power tripping white supremacists who ban any opinion they don’t like.

“You want to seek out new life and new civilizations? Well THERE. IT. SITS!”

Trying to conduct my day as normal (food needs buying and bills need to be paid, after all), but with a marked increase of episodes of staring of into space internally shrieking as avenues of opportunity and life plans made years ago are irrevocably altered.

What’s the alternative? Give up? That doesn’t help anyone.

Bottom line: do you like your job, your standing at your job, and your friendship with John more or less than the potential of getting with her?

That’s the only real question here, since those things are what you’re risking if it goes bad.

If the juice still sounds worth the squeeze, then you have your answer, but go into it with both eyes open. There will be fallout from somewhere. Don’t bemoan your situation in 6 months when you have to deal with it.

Personally, I have a no dating at work rule.

Unless you and her end up marrying, there are very few potential positives here and a whole load of almost definite negatives.

A quick search for “traffic sensor” returns a whole class of items that all basically look like the rectangular brick in your photo. Supported by the temporary / construction look of the one in the other comment.

Construction company puts in a lane restriction or other traffic modification, plop down a traffic sensor to make sure cars are still flowing through properly.

Instructions unclear. Dick stuck in typewriter.

Well, first, are they aware that you know what they did / said?
