I’ve updated the post to reflect this.

Maybe not by definition, but in terms of operations, yes. If it wasn’t operated like a private company, it wouldn’t need a union.

And guess what union is probably the largest in the US?

National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC)

The DMV isn’t federal, it’s at the state level. Some states have private licensing companies.

Many “government” entities in the US are private for-profit companies: Postal Service, vehicle licensing, electric companies, water companies, which control the very infrastructure of everyday life.

Capitalism.

The strategy is to get you onto a different platform to make instant messaging easier. They are just “advertising” on Lemmy.

Once you’re on a chat platform, they will likely attempt the “Romance Baiting” (formerly “Pig Butchering”) scam: make the target fall in love, then persuade them to send money for things like “travel expenses” or “family medical bills”. Also involves buying crypto.

It’s not a good idea to send them pictures of your face. They can use it for identity theft.

That…seems like a language i could learn, and could probably be taught in schools as a second language.

I feel like the only reason we use English as much as we do is tradition. Time to break tradition.

How to avoid getting scammed:

• DO NOT SEND MONEY
• DO NOT ACCEPT MONEY OR CHECKS
• DO NOT GIVE CREDIT CARD DETAILS
• DO NOT OPEN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT WHILE SOMEONE IS CONNECTED TO YOUR DEVICE
• CALL THE INSTITUTION THAT THE OTHER CLAIMS TO BE AND VERIFY THE INFORMATION THEY PROVIDED
• DO NOT PAY FOR SOMETHING YOU KNOW IS STOLEN OR ILLEGAL TO PURCHASE
• BE AWARE OF COMMON SCAM SCRIPTS AND TACTICS
• IF YOU FALL IN LOVE ONLINE, MEET THEM IN PERSON
• DO. NOT. SEND. THEM. MONEY.

A couple of them would have already lost (or “lost”) their worksheet.

Several kids started coloring before being given directions.

Genuine opinion: Who cares?

Who cares if what we enjoy is changing, at all. It’s kinda like if you go to a bowling alley, to go bowling. Do you show up and decide to bowl if there’s other people bowling or not? I’m gonna go bowling regardless, that’s why I went to the bowling alley.

Yes, but also no.

But skin cells are not cloth/fabric. Skin is an organ.
