- Comment on GOP brass claim not even death can stop McConnell from finishing his term 1 hour ago:
Obama should have appointed a progressive judge and declared that Congress has opted to decline their constitutional duty.
he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.
Now, I’m not a lawyer, but I’ve spent a long time pouring over labor laws. “by and with advice and consent”, along with other permissive language like “may” and “shall” speaks to the ability of Congress to decline their duty of appointment.

Yea, because you didn’t prevent the biggest forest fire the world ever saw that burned down the lush Kansas Rainforest

- Comment on Microsoft’s Xbox to Shift Obsidian Studio to New ‘Fallout’ Video Game 1 day ago:
There are several ways a union protects jobs. Because of certain rights during contract negotiations, not a single job was lost at any of the unions that are currently in negotiations.
During layoffs with unions, the company is required to bargain for affects to the workers, which sometimes reduces the amount of people that are actually out of a job.
I’m still friends and organize with Microsoft workers, and there are rumors swirling that parts of the layoffs may constitute Unfair Labor Practices at units with unions. This can only be caught because of workers that are also dedicated to fighting for their union.

Anecdotally, I was illegally fired by Microsoft in December 2024 because I helped form a massive union earlier that year. I want my job back because I want a union contract.
I have friends at Zenimax that stayed because they have a union contract. There are currently 14 unions at Microsoft actively negotiating for their first contract. The thousands of people who are protected by a union stay because they have a union.
- Comment on Copper 2 days ago:
But only 3-5 diamonds are generated per chunk, requires an iron pickaxe, and usually doesn’t start appearing regularly until Y level 14.
Meanwhile copper can have up to 16 veins of copper per chunk, requires a stone pickaxe, and appears most frequently at Y=48.
Copper is clearly more accessible for making ore blocks. Wait a sec, this isn’t !minecraft@lemmy.world

Nonsense. Killer Bean is the winner, because he’s too cool to get shot in the first place
- Comment on America's largest labor movement congratulates Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce: 'It's better in a union' 3 days ago:
Mildly offended that Business Insider is calling the AFL “the labor movement”. The AFL is a structure invented by the labor movement, not the other way around.

I think it’s more that I curate my feed to avoid them in the first place. I’ll read their rules, judge for myself, and decide if I want to interact with it. I report fascist shit and shut it down when I see it. I’ve never been banned for it. That’s a success in my judgement of the spaces I choose to participate in.
- Comment on Lemmy Shitshow 1 week ago:
you can’t express your opinion here
I’ve had this account for nearly a year and a half, and I’ve never had mod action taken against me. On my previous account, I only ever had 2 mod actions. I’m highly political and post regularly. My secret is that I pay attention to every community I’m looking at, and follow their rules. As an example, I’m gender fluid but generally identify with masc identities, so I never post or comment in !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone. Following community rules is easy. Just don’t do those things. Whether you want it to be or not, gen-AI is absolutely a political topic right now, so it’s not really welcome in !showerthoughts@lemmy.world.

- Comment on Rockstar workers push to unionize ahead of GTA VI’s launch 1 week ago:
They’re trying to win recognition before the game launches, not after. Regardless, there’s never a wrong time to form a union.

- Comment on Has anyone ever actually had their vehicle tabs stolen? 1 week ago:
I almost got my car towed because I left for work at 8am in a spot that had no parking after 7am with tabs that were over a year due. The only reason I didn’t get towed was because I got to the car while the meter maid was still entering info before the truck took it. It was already there and just waiting for authorization

- Comment on Wikipedia Workers in the UK Move to Unionise Amid Feud Over Sackings 2 weeks ago:
It’s more common than you think. There are worker co-ops that are anti-union, like REI. The National Education Association is a union that has done union busting against their own staff.
