  • Was in the same position a few months ago. My only satisfaction was that I'd be able to open a union division in the company. I would have been able to better the working conditions of my colleagues (and mine!) while learning the work of a union representative. Sadly they fired me before I could do that. But now I found a paying job in a non-profit organization and I feel like a human being again!

  • It's called plan B in the US? We call it "the morning-after pill" where I live. I think it's a bit more self-explanatory.

  • Good enough, you're hired!

  • But I bet it's loads of fun! Gotta resist… the urge…

  • My dream is to start a co-op bicycle shop/worshop once I finish my mechanic traineeship. But the other trainees don't seem to share my vision, they only care about making lots of money…

  • True, there is some amount of gun violence glorification in the US. And it's completely sane to be angry at your oppresors, but it needs to be channeled into something productive. Killing CEOs is just gonna make them pressure governments to increase repression with armed police and global surveillance. Violence begets violence, so it should only be used as a last result.

  • My point is, using the opportunity to open the debate on the complete despair of people oppressed by private healthcare is the way to go. Let's just not make this about revenge on the rich CEOs involved. Removing their privilege is revenge enough.

  • Didn't think about the wheelchair thing, good point. Anyway, I got a shitty cardio, during most of his time on earth, old Albert who have beaten me in a 100m sprint.

  • Well, some people took it a bit too far. I get the message that health insurance companies are hell, but applauding murder… Are we better than them if we do that?

  • I'm torn. Kinda curious about what oysters are thinking, but pretty sure Einstein could run faster than me.

  • I asked because I'm a bike mechanic trainee. And And this job would have taken me a few days, I'd say. 😅 And finding specific, out-of-production parts can be a hassle indeed.

  • You did all that on your own? If so, then it must have taken quite some time!

  • This is beyond midly infuriating, it could actually be crossposted on !workreform@lemmy.world given the insanity of it.

  • I'm not completely up to speed with the core principles of Arch, but I think it revolves around KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!). Meaning that Arch doesn't hold your hand with nice GUIs. Instead, it tries to make the command line interface as easy to understand and use as possible. So if you run into a problem, you're more likely to understand how to fix it, or at least what the root cause is. Which is not a given when you're used to distros with more abstraction like Ubuntu. Then again, this design concept is not for everyone.

  • The install guide is not 50 pages-long, common!

  • Just plug out the power cord, fuck it!

  • The thing is like 90% in international waters, who cares if a government renames it the gulf of the the clown car for instance? I hope there's an international body of geograph somewhere that brings reason to these matters.

  • They've always done that for other contested regions of the world (e.g. sea of Japan/Korea, West Bank/Judea and Samaria, East Turkestan/Xinjiang). They don't want to rile up potential personal gps data cash cows satisfied users.

  • Das ist fils de pute auf Franzözisch, das gleiche Akronym.
