Happy cake day! Do we say that on Lemmy?

I agree. I doubt that leftist candidates would be popular in the context of what I said. I see it realistically as short of revolution, the dems are not going anywhere. If they actually listened to America, they might hear our voices too. This would help get our proverbial foot in the door, where we could actually push the party from center-right to at least left adjacent. I’d also support us simply experiencing a paradigm shift spontaneously, but I get the feeling that won’t happen…yet.

The DNC has failed the voter base. People got excited when Obama first ran. No one wanted Clinton or Biden, but the DNC forced them through, which certainly showed with voter turnout.

They could use this moment we are in right now to win some of the base back. Hold town halls, where all they do is listen to communities. Use all of that to develop a platform people actually get excited for. Put forth candidates who reflect those values. ??? Potentially get the ship pointed in the general direction that might lead us to something better than what we have now.

Every asinine micro-managing policy that the bosses at my workplace come up with shares a common thread…control. That and the fact that it is a non-union plant, so they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, and there is absolutely nothing the workers can say about it.

No phones? Sure, why not? The capitalists can only extract every ounce of productivity out of their workers, if they can budget every second of the worker’s time. This is of course so they can move the goal posts and demand more. Don’t worry though, they’ve got a steady stream of college grads who will start at the bottom of the pay scale, ready to take your place after the company has taken everything from you.

If you’ve got time to breath, are you really a valuable asset to the team?

together.” “When I first started . . . I wasn’t the best employee, constantly checking my phone,” she added.

“It’s only a small thing, \[but] there is something about that commitment \[that says] ‘I’m here to work,’” he said.

I want so badly for these two people to be characters whose commentary is about how ridiculous it is to participate in the corporate machine. But I fear that these are not characters, but are real people. People who have “asks” and “opportunities”, instead of “questions” and “problems”. 🤮

Question. Can I get double hamburger instead?

Fuck off Randy. Plz deliver cheeseburder to me.

In this day and age, you know you are on to something, when the government tries to silence you using out of context clips.

It’s antisemitism when one advocates for the liberation of an oppressed people (who are currently experiencing a genocide, ffs!).

lmao https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=jimmy+kimmel+joke+melania. Does that help?

Don’t worry, nothing will ever come of this. That entire crime family has swindled billions from the people of this country (and, I’m sure, the rest of the world).

If the dems gain control, it’ll all be forgotten. U N I T Y

An MIT Technology Review investigation reveals World’s unethical practices when onboarding test users across Africa and Asia, including deceptive marketing practices. The investigation also says that World was gathering personal data beyond iris scans, including heartbeat, breathing, and other vital signs, and doing so without obtaining meaningful informed consent.

Insane. When businesses are building massive systems to identify and track the citizenry, the government should step in and stomp it out. Instead, the government is mandating that it proceeds.

The system is functioning as expected. The system must be destroyed.

Subramanian says Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk who was shot and killed at an event last year, was also whisked away and was in tears

Who gives a fuck.

Any mode of online gambling/betting needs to be banned, at least in the US. So many people, like my father, cannot help themselves when it comes to gambling. Keep the gambling in the goddamn casino’s, so people have to drive there to throw their money away. With the online stuff, it’s as simple as opening a website or app.

This is so fucking shameful.

These sorts of transactional relationships create leverage that can be used against someone. They could also be used to obtain information socially.

On its own, do your thang girl. But when you have certain kinds of jobs, there are things you must abstain from.

This is good news, but that does not mean that trans youth healthcare has been saved. How many bites of the apple will the feds get? They’ve got to have their next play at the ready. Wonder what it will be? Declare us mentally unfit?

Is that a joke?

I tried my very best, but was only able to work out the first two layers. I knew that there had to be certain combinations of moves to move pieces around, but I could not for the life of me figure out how to even begin. Eventually I turned to Ruwix, and am now pretty good. I’m impressed he cracked it in such a short time frame. It was a completely new design, with no roadmap or strategy known.

But yeah it does make for a silly headline, to the layman.

Edit: two words.

I messed up the algs so much for SQ1, I pretty much had to have the moves pulled up.

I’d say ghost cube is pretty wild, if you go in blind. Once you figure it out, it’s pretty fun.

I just checked the email again, and it was more along the lines of a mass email with his name inserted and such. At the time I read *.mil and my son’s name, immediately replied and archived the message. Actually reading it, the email said they were reaching out to all junior and senior parents to see who is interested. They got our email addresses from the school apparently.

I don’t understand why the school would think that it was acceptable to give the military information about parents and students.

Just another thing that no one will ever be held to account for.

A military recruiter emailed me recently, asking about information from my son. I emailed back that it was a firm NO and to never contact either of us ever again. Fucking predators.

This doll wants to play…with you 🔪🔪🔪

I’d lie my way into a position that can run on autopilot for a few months, while I line up the next scam. The real skill would be maintaining the ruse across organizations, while actively working against the environments I would con my way into.
