When is the last time you checked?

I definitely don’t want the government attached to my personal files, in any country.

They are usually on sale for less than $20

A major difference, even so, is that Trump has several felon convictions and impeachments.

The IT sector is disproportionately Indian, and Musk is a strong supporter of outsourcing H1B visa employees.

I moved all my IRA and HSA investments to cash only last week, since I have direct control and theres no fees to reinvest later. 401k will stay untouched, hopefully it exists when I’m ready to retire.

I want mega corps to fail, not spark a great depression.

Liking it so far, much appreciated!

That’s a damn shame. Any other browsers look good on a tablet?

Everything about human perspective, all physical senses and complex abstract thoughts, are based on pattern recognition. In computer science specifically, those patterns are discrete, absolute, pure (same output for a given input). It’s a tiny tiny representation of the universe with clear rules that can be manipulated easily.

The mind, however, has an infinite number of variables affecting each person differently. Some people naturally pick up on these patterns, we call it empathy. As social herd animals, it helps to understand other people’s general intentions without all the research, so that we can share resources and avoid danger or conflict. Other people don’t have that particular rulebook, but more easily pick up on mathematics or languages, or coding, whatever it may be.

Life at all is ridiculous as a concept, so the fact that not everyone experiences it the same way is a fact, our genes and life experiences makes it impossible to all be the same. So your ability to spark controversy is just people not understanding your set of patterns, while you don’t understand theirs. Its not wrong or right, just a fact. And it’s up to each person to decide how much they want to be able to socialize with any given rules.

If your will to live is to “win” against other people, I’m glad it keeps you going. But surely you can imagine that not motivating everyone?

How many swing states would there be if absolutely every person voted?

Listen. My son’s birth certificate has an extended stay motel as his address. I understand poverty. It is NOT worse than what’s coming.

Yes, absolutely. But what rent can I pay when I’m suddenly deported because my parents were (legal) immigrants? When I’m being forced to give birth? When I’m fired and accused of being a DEI hire? When my children are hunted? I am willing to sacrifice for this cause.

Honestly? No. This isn’t something that you go “if it’s convenient”, the entire concept of freedom is at stake here. I’m biased as a woman of color in a non traditional marriage, but this is absolutely mandatory. I will lose a day’s wages, and it may impact my ability to pay my bills. But are you not seeing the future of this administration if people stand by and accept it?

If people aren’t willing to give up 1 hour of their corporate slavery to stop facism, then we are already doomed.

Their very public decision to keep DEI in addition to a long history of not exploiting their employees has led me to purchase a membership this morning. I’m okay with financually rewarding reasonable behavior.

Ah yes, a black and white world with no other options.

I got the entire bee movie once, but it was skippable.

You think the “Americans on Lemmy” demographic is your target audience?
