Winning any sort of “best local food” award almost always means the price jumps immediately.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is AOC a big deal? She just speaks common sense and calls out absurdity. Have we really gone that far off the rails where we don't do it ourselves?English
72·17 days agoshe’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.

131·17 days agocommon 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.

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

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Unexpected item in the bagging area!English
9·2 months agoby 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.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come assassinations went away for the most part? Why send a bunch of god fearing young kids into a battle the upper class started or wanted when clipping one leader would stop it?English
1·3 months agoBecause 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.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Robotaxis can break traffic laws without fines under new California rulesEnglish
8·3 months agoYou’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.

27·3 months agobecause 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.
The manufacturers definitely have a large share of the blame, but people still have the agency to make better choices.
Once it’s done?
Facissm doesn’t end on its own. It needs to get pushed out.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What would the next pres of USA have to do to gain back trust for America? Hold a televised event saying the last person was just a fuck up?English

The USA isn’t the way it is because Trump is the president, Trump is president because of the way the USA is…
Doesn’t mean it needs Internet access tho
Annoyingly, some models won’t let you get through the initial setup menu unless you let it connect.

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.
