- Comment on Cathy, do the math. 6 days ago:
Credit for that goes to Kshama Sawant, she had to fight the Democrats on the city council and shame them to get there.
- Comment on Cathy, do the math. 6 days ago:
It was AIPAC money as well. That’s also why Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman and Katie Porter aren’t in Congress any more.
- Comment on Cathy, do the math. 6 days ago:
Or the boss calling a cost of living adjustment a ‘raise’. No, motherfucker, I’m just back to where I started.
- Comment on Cathy, do the math. 6 days ago:
And I’ve never heard of a contract that explicitly ties non-union workers’ pay to the union contact, but I’d be cheering the union guys on if they ever asked for a raise if that was the case.
- Comment on Do you think the US will actually log its national parks? 1 week ago:
Yeah, he thinks of everything in terms of real estate value. Like the way he talked about Gaza, as if the people of Gaza are incapable of building stuff themselves if they hadn’t been under a blockade for almost a century.
- Comment on Is someone falling for this crap? 2 weeks ago:
Might be just someone wanting to highlight an architecture issue that allows someone to spam everyone.
- Comment on Nicole got a new outfit! 2 weeks ago:
It is showing that there’s a lot of work to be done to deal with the spam issue. It’s basically relying on every individual instance admin to moderate their stuff and defederate from other instances that drop the ball. If Lemmy gets big enough for spammers to really try to attack it, the admins will quickly get overwhelmed.
- Comment on Crossbow killer Kyle Clifford was 'fuelled' by Andrew Tate videos before rape and murders, court told 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, looks like they forgot a word.
- Comment on Burgertory owner Hash Tayeh charged over pro-Palestine rally chants 2 weeks ago:
Just complaining in the media, IIRC. Nothing super violent and obviously not anything that would justify the shit that’s been done to him lately.
- Comment on Burgertory owner Hash Tayeh charged over pro-Palestine rally chants 2 weeks ago:
While it’s ridiculous to go after him for that specific chant/opinion, he was one of those anti lockdown scumbags too.
- Comment on ActBlue, the Democratic Fund-Raising Powerhouse, Faces Internal Chaos 2 weeks ago:
Because that strategy worked out amazingly in the past.
- Comment on The past 18 months have seen the most rapid change in human written communication ever 3 weeks ago:
Reddit had a subreddit dedicated to bots just posting to each other as well.
- Comment on Mozilla says its new Firefox terms don’t give it ownership of your data 3 weeks ago:
I am able to sync my stuff from Floorp to Mull and back without much trouble.
We really need better names for stuff
- Comment on Jon Stewart lacerates hand on air, for the second time. 3 weeks ago:
Something Musk cut again. I’m amazed how despite doing stuff like that Republicans keep getting elected. Seems like an easy attack ad to cut.
- Comment on GP visits to become free for most under $8.5b Labor [campaign] Medicare promise 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s about time they started funding healthcare more, it’s been allowed to get way too underfunded.
- Comment on Albanese in trouble as polling shows Dutton most likely to be next PM 5 weeks ago:
People generally don’t know or care which level of government is responsible for what, and for most issues it’s a mix anyway: state governments can’t run a deficit the same way a Federal government can, so they could pitch in one way or another, especially if they’re almost all run by the same party until recently.
- Comment on Albanese in trouble as polling shows Dutton most likely to be next PM 5 weeks ago:
It would help if Labor didn’t fuck over one of the biggest unions in the country. They’re dragging their feet on giving other union members (nurses, transport workers, etc) the raises they deserve too. Like, these people worked in impossible circumstances during the pandemic, and now the politicians are acting like they completely forgot about that.
Obviously things would be worse with the liberals, but come on. They’re just too focused on getting a balanced budgets because they don’t want a bad headline in the Australian (which they’ll get anyway regardless).
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 5 weeks ago:
They were designed to be only used for the administration of social security. Since they were sending monthly checks, they needed a way to know that the person going to the office and saying their address changed was who they said they were. This was at a time before driver’s licences were common and they didn’t have any other type of ID, and there were just a lot fewer people.
Later on the SSN started to be used by banks and other entities even though it was never meant for that, and the risks associated with the relatively insecure design just compounded, because instead of just fraudulently claiming someone else’s social security checks (which, unless the target died, would probably be figured out within a month), it opened up all sorts of extra avenues for fraud.
- Comment on I worked hard on this meme and now I can't use it because the guy's a Nazi 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I never really got why everyone jumped at Kanye for that in particular. The response to Katrina was ridiculous and there were plenty of instances where black people were left to fend for themselves, or worse, accused of ‘looting’ when they tried to go out and find food in stores that closed down.
Obviously, everything that happened after is indefensible.
- Comment on Liberal women 'least happy and loneliest', according to new survey 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, probably has a lot to do with the policies targeting exactly those women.
- Comment on The eye-popping amount of money Elon Musk has already slashed from the Education Department as staff melt down 5 weeks ago:
I hear the government is funneling billions to some sort of satellite internet thing that wouldn’t be economically viable without those subsidies. Maybe they should look into that waste.
- Comment on The eye-popping amount of money Elon Musk has already slashed from the Education Department as staff melt down 5 weeks ago:
They’ll give it to Musk instead. If past behaviour is any indication, Republicans will actually raise the taxes for anyone except the top 5 percentile.
- Comment on At this rate, why not. 1 month ago:
Did they talk about nuking the great lakes again?
- Comment on this year has been pretty fun so far 1 month ago:
The ‘For You’ feed Musk is pushing on everyone.
- Comment on this year has been pretty fun so far 1 month ago:
I want to know which dying kids had Kanye on their list.
- Comment on Ye Takes Back Apology and Calls Himself a Nazi in Social Media Rant 1 month ago:
I mean, obviously. I thought Yeezys were stupid when they came out.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Are you the (ex-) husband?
- Comment on Ye Takes Back Apology and Calls Himself a Nazi in Social Media Rant 1 month ago:
Adidas is somehow still selling Yeezys though.
- Comment on Ye Takes Back Apology and Calls Himself a Nazi in Social Media Rant 1 month ago:
I mean, those guys love themselves a race traitor and they’d welcome him, in a ‘we’ll kill you after we’re done with the others’ sort of way.
- Comment on As Trump Attacks Diversity, a Racist Undercurrent Surfaces 1 month ago:
Yeah, wtf. The man said racist things on day one. The reason he won the primary was because he said the racist stuff outright instead of the traditional Republican dog whistle. The only reason they say DEI is because they might still get in trouble for saying the N-word.
