Nah. Then they’d just be embarrassed they had been pushing a book with such a woke lefty agenda. Some might even learn that they can throw away most of that commie stuff in the later parts of the book, and just keep the juicy bits they liked in the first half about how men are in charge, and slavery is okay so long as you follows some rules. Oh, except Revelations. That part rocks, let’s keep that. In fact… Let’s make it happen. That would be so sick.

Shit, I’d do that job for minimum wage, if only to see Musk fired.

Sure, but that quote calls it a “virus” but the headline says “fungus”.

Is this lasagna?

Debt strike!

Debt strike!

Debt strike!

I, for one, thought this was a reasonable take.

What else do people expect you to comment? Like…

Neat.

Or…

Thoughts and prayers for the driver and his family.

What discussion can a post like this garner except speculation? And to preface your speculation with an acknowledgement that the story has no real details… seems fair to me.

Which explains why it was standard procedure for presidents to put their money in a blind trust. And why Trump didn’t.

The population of NYC is 8 million, and they had fewer than 1M votes for mayor? That, like, 12.5%.

Even if you limit it to just citizen population, I found that number to be 6-7 million. Thats still only a 14-16% voter turnout.

The fuck?

I had never heard that before, and that now my truth. It makes so much sense.

The previous conviction was overturned on a procedural issue, like a mistrial. He wasn’t pardoned or found not guilty, so it isn’t double jeopardy. It’s just a “redo” to make sure another jury would still convict without the procedural issue.

the [worst] Democrat [is] better than the best Republican

That’s generally true, but not in the hypothetical. I’d honestly vote for Mitt Romney before I’d vote for hypothetical Democrat-Ticket Trump.

It’s called “Whattaboutism” and it’s straight from Russia’s playbook.

See, we all thought that.

Turns out the problem wasn’t that they committed genocide. It’s that the genocide was directed at the Jewish people.

And as Netanyahu would have you believe, if you’re against Israel, you’re against the Jewish people. So that makes you a Nazi.

Flawless logic, clearly.

At this point I can only understand it if I know who’s saying it.

That is the most frustrating thing about discussion these days. Everyone using the same words but speaking an entirely different language.

When you don’t agree on the definitions of words anymore, or you don’t hold yourself to using them in good faith, then you take discussion off the table. You’re no longer debating; now you are just arguing. It’s one step away from violence.

There are no bad dogs. Only bad dog owners.

Karma is just debt for morality.

If you think growing up in a conservative household guarantees a kid becomes conservative, you didn’t grow up in a conservative household.

I’ve seen “tankie” in leftist discussions on multiple sites for ages before I joined Lemmy.

Just because its a real word with a wiki page doesn’t make it any less annoying […]

And just because you first encountered a word in some place doesn’t mean that word originated in that place.

I’m with the above commenter. I’ve worked at many companies of various sizes, from small local shops up to international corporations, including at least one contractor for the US military.

Every one of them had rules and policies and training on security, to varying degrees. But at every one of them, I’d find some vulnerability, or instance where someone was neglecting security. Each time, I’d bring it to the attention of someone in management. Each time (with one company as exception), those warnings would be “heard” and “passed up the chain”, and then nothing would happen. Only one company in 20 years of work actually fixed a security issue I found. And no company I’ve ever worked for was leak proof.

In my experience, until it threatens to cost a company much more money in losses than it would cost to fix the problem, but said problem will not get fixed. That’s profit motive. And often it seems they’d rather roll the dice until a loss occurs, and then (maybe) fix the issue.

I used to believe this, but recent incidents have exposed systemic issues in engineering and QA at at least one major US aerospace manufacturer.
