sympathy strike

Read a random definition: landhlaford

A quick definition of sympathy strike:

A sympathy strike is when workers who are not directly involved in a labor dispute go on strike to show support for other workers who are. It's like saying, "We stand with you and won't work until your demands are met." It's a way for workers to show solidarity with each other.

A more thorough explanation:

A sympathy strike is a type of strike where union members who do not have a grievance against their own employer stop working to show support for another union that is involved in a labor dispute. This is done to put pressure on the employer to meet the demands of the striking union.

For example, if the workers at a factory are on strike, the workers at a nearby warehouse may also go on strike to show support for their cause, even if they do not have any issues with their own employer.

This type of strike is also known as a solidarity strike.

Been a long cycle guys but I wanted to quickly say never let your stats be the defining thing of who you are. Schools care more than just about the numbers. I have a 162 LSAT and just got accepted to WashU!

WashU is the funniest example to use for a school that doesn’t care about numbers

@llama: B&J's half baked. that's interesting! is it for work or are you trying to build a PC?
@IrishDinosaur: Thanks! Good luck with your apps!
@honeybun: Lol I know they are one of the ones that are gaming the system for their stats but they will still take people with low stats!
21:54
@honeybun: i think u rite 95% with WashU, but they do seem to be holistic for the other 5%.

no specifically intel stock. the company is at a crossroads. I am currently using an intel i5 from 2017. If I were to build another PC, I think I would go AMD.

i wish id gone nvidia instead of amd
22:13
@starfishies: for gaming?
IrishDinosaur
22:13
@starfishies: nvidia is good. I've got it in my gaming pc, works well
22:18
new Nvidia cards are coming out soon, hopefully there will be some good deals out there to snatch up
starfishies
22:22
gaming yes! i think nvidia software and drivers are better than amd imo
22:25
nice ya agreed for gaming: DirectX and the drivers for games are just so much ahead. I do not game, more of just multitasking office stuff, so AMD would be just fine for me
IrishDinosaur
22:34
what games do you play starfishies?
starfishies
22:38
makes sense! amd isn't horrible but for gaming not ideal
starfishies
22:38

starfishies
22:39

IrishDinosaur
22:46

Recently was told that a story I wrote remind someone of the video game Grimdark? Never played or heard of it but was oddly flattered?

I think it was called Dark Souls.
IrishDinosaur
23:22

IrishDinosaur
23:23
Dark Souls/Bloodborne is the best video game series everrrrr
GodsPlanUltimately
23:23
