Walmart was also telling their employees in some states how to apply to food banks and other social supports, because they refused to pay their workers adequately.

“Somebody else will pay the salaries of our customers”.
That’s been the mindset of these business “leaders” for a few decades already.
The difference is now they have a tool that promises them that they can eliminate workers at an increasingly rapid rate.
Of course that’s a false promise, but once they realize that, a helluva lot of damage will have been done.


You can’t 100% 3D print a working gun that won’t be as dangerous to the user as it is to the target.
You still need some actual metal gun parts to make it do gun things properly.


This has been a problem since the early days of usenet.
I suspect there is no good solution
You ever have a car cd player that plays files?
It’s pretty common.
My current car can do that (2019 Toyota) with the factory player.
As could every car I have owned in the previous couple decades.
Winning any sort of “best local food” award almost always means the price jumps immediately.


she’s kind of bland in my opinion (compared with European left at least).
Compared to European politics, the USA doesn’t really have any “left”.
Most Democrats would be considered center-right in a lot of other countries.


common sense
Careful with that term these days.
The rightwingnuts tend to call their anti-progressiveness talking points “common sense”.
For some religious people, lust is a hard sin to fight.
That line of thinking is what leads to burquas being mandatory in some countries.
Control yourself, not other people.
And if you can’t, then get proper help (not a preacher), don’t just mask the problem.


Can someone lend me some eyebleach, I seem to have run out.
Gen X has been skipped again.
I’m not mad at that.
The less we are noticed, the more autonomy we have.
A few years ago my city installed a bunch of bike maintenance stands, comple with tools (attached to cables) and within a month all the cables had been cut and the tools were all gone. The tire pumps were destroyed and the signs were obscured with spray paint.
They tried to repair them a couple of times but the shitbirds just trashed them again.
It’s frustrating that this crap keeps happening


by keeping them in dead end jobs.
What you call a “dead end job”, many people call the “first job in my resume”.
And, as anyone early in life had discovered the hard way, getting a reasonable job with zero work experience on your resume is almost impossible.


I don’t get it either, but it was also a big problem on Reddit for years.


Exempted for now…


Because killing a leader without a plan for who will replace them isn’t very efficient
And often leads to a worse leader seizing power out of the chaos and power vacuum that the assassination created.
Mobile carriers are mostly IPv6-only these days.
I was going to point that out as well.
Your phone is probably on an IP6 network right now.
And it will be NATted to an IP4 address when it leaves the carrier’s network to interact with the public internet.


You’d be holding more than one person liable if you were holding people liable at all
Sounds good to me.
Having some corporate abstraction shield the people who make irresponsible or dangerous choices may be beneficial to those decision makers, but it is very much not good for society.


because individuals can’t be held accountable
That’s just laziness. There are individuals who can be held accountable.
Starting with the executives who signed off on these things being put on the road in the first place.
But only mildly.
Certainly not infuriating enough to do something about the problem…
