    1. The 25% raise is actually a 13% raise then 4% more each year. This barely keeps up with the rate of inflation and isn’t a real raise. They are also trying to increase the rate at which they cap out their pay.

    2. They are trying to fight the mandatory overtime which is understandable.

    3. Yes the pension they definitely want their pensions back.

    4. This is all about job security. They don’t want Boeing to make a plant somewhere else where it’ll be cheaper to pay the employees and such.






  • I use kratom very semi regularly. It’s like a miracle cure for back and joint pain for me. Threshold doses completely turn off pain in 30 minutes.

    I’ve noticed that kratom in particular makes me absolutely wreck while playing videogames. Makes me turn into a calm, cold, and collected machine.

    I don’t really see any addiction potential with the powdered leaf as doses are measured in grams and taking that much of any plant material just destroys your stomach. Extracts though are a totally different animal. They’re completely unregulated and there’s almost no indication of what’s actually in them. I’ve had a brand that totally does not even feel like kratom…

    They all taste like complete ass, even the capsules. Like kinda a green tea type flavor but absolutely terrible. And the burps you get after… There’s also a high chance of getting the opioid itch which sucks.

    I used to take kratom all the time but people started telling me I was acting very strange. I didn’t feel like I was acting strange though… So now I only take it for pain. Which it’s actually quite incredible for.


  • My friends were the people injecting glow sticks… Arguably a pretty stupid way to die but this happened at an underage night club in the 00s. My friends who died were homeless children with abusive drug addicted families who either ran from the absolute failure of a foster care system that we have here, or just went straight to the streets knowing that they would end up in a worse situation if they were to seek help. Literally nowhere to go and willing to risk death for a little bit of approval.

    My friends absolutely knew what they were doing was dangerous and could kill them… We all had known someone who died from doing exactly that… But when you’ve lived a life completely devoid of anything that resembles support the smallest positive reactions are like concentrated heroin.

    It was fucked up seeing these kids who’s desperate attempt to just be liked being turned into an entertainment piece. It’s been a while but if I remember correctly the show left out that the people were minors so they could embellish on how dumb of a way to die it was… Or that children were being allowed to run around in a nightclub with glowing veins…

    The whole thing was fucked, I never watched the show again. I realized that the whole thing is essentially just laughing at other people’s trauma and that’s not for me.
