Whether or not someone has a passport is almost entirely based on the amount of wealth that person or their family has.

Where I grew up, almost nobody traveled abroad because nobody could afford it. Or at most, back in the day they would drive to Canada because you could cross without a passport.

Fair enough, I just disagree. Gaining independence seems to me like a positive thing worth celebrating. I’m happy whenever I see an ex-colony celebrating their day.

Not saying we Americans don’t take it a little far, but hey, it’s the one day where you can be patriotic without that creepy vibe.

Independence day celebrations are not unique to America.

Not a single bit of fact checking in the article.

In the US.

• Shirts/hoodies/etc: I like Bayside Apparel. Good price, good quality, long lasting, union made. Please buy from them so they continue to exist.
• Sneakers: New Balance has some assembled in the USA shoes. Very limited selection, but options in general are minimal. The only other Made in USA shoes I could find were like bare feet nonsense or moccasins.
• Boots: There’s a bunch of Made in USA boot makers. Redwing, Danner, and I’m sure I’m missing some good options. These will be easy to find with a Web search.
• Underwear/undershirts: I got nothin. If anyone has found anything, I’d love to know about it.
• Socks: Recently learned about Wide Open. Socks seem pretty high quality but I’ve only had them for a few months so far. I think there’s some other Made in USA sock makers as well that I’m not remembering.

I mostly look for Made in USA just because I’m happy to support my country’s workers, and the labor laws are known to me. I’ve run across some Made in EU stuff but it always seems like a hassle to get it shipped out.

Wish there was any real visibility into supply chains so we could feel more confident buying from other places. Can’t even trust companies that say they have ethical suppliers in SE Asia because they probably have no idea what their contractors are actually doing.

Congrats on being the exception to the latter part of my comment.

Listen here, you little shit.

Curious. I always thought she was more of a lolcow. Where that’s just how she is and everyone happens to think it’s funny.

With that stadium lighting and that dog looking so handsome, that photo is incredibly uncanny.

Fairly different hivemind here, I think. Still annoying at times but for different reasons. Individuals seem more likely to engage on a topic though. Maybe without instantly thinking you’re their enemy.

Guilty, your honor!

You at least have to keep it symetrical.

With the help of gravity!

The only reason I started using cases is because they made the latest Pixels so low friction that they refuse to stay put on most surfaces.

Don’t forget you’re interviewing them, too. Prepare questions (or ideas of questions) you have ahead of time. You’re bound to have some And don’t assume any answers.

It’ll not only answer your important questions, but it will show you’re engaged in the process, and you might be able to rule out a terrible employer ahead of time.

Or someone texting and driving.

Doing QA for this company must be the most unusual job.

Nothing romantic.

“I have no idea what she sees in you.”

Straight to my face. By many people at different times. Including friends.
