“There’s been too much upward mobility in class in the last 100 years. You people need to know your place in society as the modern version of drudge workers. You’ll be doing this same work for your entire life, and you’ll produce children that will do your work when you die, and they’ll produce children to do the work when they die. This is perfection in society where your entire bloodline will stay in your level in life for the entirety. We, your betters, will maintain the level of aristocracy and lead this nation and assume its wealth.” - Lutnick probably

Regulations are put in place to make sure some people aren’t allowed to hurt other people

I’d also extend that definition to “other life” too. Some MAGA may say: “The libruls want to take a way my rights to do what I want with my land!” When in fact it may be an endangered species has its last nesting ground on that land.

Yes I do, but not neither I nor the meme is claiming “both sides are the same”

The very first sentence in your meme literally has these words in this order:

“Democrats like Joe Biden are the same as Republicans”

Married at 15 and had given birth to two kids before 20 years old in a household where her husband threatened to kill her. She was very smart to get out when she did, and it sounds like she lived a full life after she escaped.

The article specifically points out Biden.

Can you link the cited article? OP didn’t.

Kamala Harris would undoutable be accepting open bribes for the Qatari government of a 747 jumbo jet which she’d still own personally after her term in office. I’m sure we’d also be stocked up on KAMALACOIN too. The HARRIS GOLD CARD for immigration preferential treatment would certainly have happened. Canada, Europe, and our other allies around the world would absolutely still be citing and recognizing the end of American leadership around the world. Tim Walz would have demanded Zelensky say “thank you” to Harris during their White House meeting. Yeah, certainly both sides are the same. /s

Yup, SLABS.

“Student loan asset-backed securities (SLABS)” I had to look that up.

Just for clarity of the thread, apparently SLABS contain private student loans. Many of the other conversations here are referring to Federal student loans. So these conversations don’t apply to each other. However, a single person can have loans of both types.

it’s just as likely to read that as assuming Microsoft will block all content in order to ensure the safety of sensitive data.

Hang on. If you’re rejecting rational use cases that companies use Teams for, then your assumption must be that Microsoft will block ALL screen capture when a teams meeting is occurring whether its of the Teams meeting content being shared or not. As in, even the presenter would be blocked from doing screen captures of their own system. Why isn’t that your conclusion?

Why are you, again, from the headline only, assuming that screen capture would mandatory for just content shared to you by a Teams presenter? You chose a middle ground, but why didn’t you choose full blocking?

Sniff tests have to be adapted when things tend to stink in general, or companies regularly try to cover up their smell.

So are you adapting yours back now because yours was proven wrong?

What part of the headline suggests the feature is mandatory? Assuming its mandatory doesn’t pass the critical thinking “sniff test” because what is sensitive is purely subjective. Microsoft has no way of knowing what data you consider sensitive. As in, there’s no way Microsoft could make it mandatory on only “sensitive” data.

There’s another one free with many Public Libraries that has streaming movies and TV called Hoopla. That same service also has ebooks and audiobooks for streaming or download.

I bought a Tesla before Musk was a Nazi. If someone pretends forgets what I drive, I’m quite thankful.

If people thought and referred to it as “that new Prius” that would make me even happier.

With aluminum smelting its not just heat needed like iron/steel smelting, but electricity needed to employ Lorentz forces to separate the aluminum from everything else.

That Canadian and Norwegian aluminum is probably significantly greener than American aluminum too because they have so much hydropower.

“I actually love the concept, but I don’t want it to be used against me politically, because I’ve seen people lose elections for less, especially with the fake news,” he [trump] added at the time.

He’s term limited if he follows the Constitution. Either way his days of worrying about elections are over.

Both mod logs for the bans indicate one of the instance admins saw something I wrote elsewhere and banned me.

Ahh gotcha. They saw your activity on other instances and decided pre-emptively they didn’t want you there on their instances. Well, that’s their right, and I know both aggressively defend their communities.

I’m confused then. How did they ban you if you weren’t in there? If you were never there, how would you even know you were banned?

I’ve been banned from blahaj and beehaw for reasons I don’t agree with

Both those instances have very specific rules that they have established for the protection of their communities. If you go in their clubhouse I think its reasonable to abide by their rules, no matter your opinion on them. If you don’t like the rules for whatever reason, there’s no requirement to go to those instances. There are lots of other instances with are more laissez-faire in their approaches if thats your preferred interactions.

The GOP Climate Change plan of action has been revealed. It is a three pronged plan:

but I can imagine Republicans and other pouncing on this politically to roll back some environmental legislation.

They’re already doing that anyway today and gas is nowhere near $8/gallon.

Is The West forcing North Korea to send soldiers and military equipment to Ukraine to fight for Russia? How is The West forcing North Korea’s citizens to risk their lives to get to South Korea?
