Be a real shame if you had to import all that food from Canada…

Be a shame if the hotline for reporting anyone related to DEI got enrolled to every spam newsletter under the sun.

A real shame.

I’m salivating over the prospect of everyone’s oil drilling permits being ruled invalid because they refer to the wrong locale.

Whenever you omit a /s you take a risk.

Especially given Lemmy’s substantial nuerodivergent population clear markers of sarcasm are always a good idea.

Did he fully divest any decision making powe and financial interests? Or just the decision making power?

Ah, glad to see we’re trading the platform that Jack Dorsey previously sold to a fascist for an obscene sum of money for the platform that Jack Dorsey hasn’t yet sold to a fascist for an obscene sum of money.

I’m so deeply disappointed that Mastadon isn’t taking a larger share of traffic.

It sure looks like they’re getting shit right now - I don’t disagree with your cynicism about long term effects though. If everyone “outraged” by this continues to use their service this will have very little effect on them in the long term.

I thought Trump was going to fix everything day one!

What a fucking idiotic shitstorm entirely of their own making.

Meta deserves all the shit they get for this transparent act of kowtowing.

MacGyver does not approve.

Alternatively, call it the Gulf of Texas and grab some popcorn for the infighting.

A lot.

I know there’s a proportion that were simply ignorant and tuned out of politics… but most Trump voters did so over the very loud objections of trans relatives or while openly embracing the nativism.

Lastly, I think that Harris did a terrible job advocating for her election and she owns a fair portion of the blame as well.

Trump wasn’t an unknown this time. He attempted to subvert our election process and he’s a convicted rapist. He openly embraced corruption during his last term and is already shilling crypto bullshit.

Trump voters are terrible selfish people - end of story.

I think you’re well aware that small political differences shouldn’t get in the way of family and have worked to be tolerant in the past.

You’re not an asshole. You’re an adult. You shouldn’t do this lightly but if you’ve given this serious consideration you should follow your heart.

I genuinely think most people are unfamiliar with AIM and the absolutely disastrous raid. But I’m right with you in celebrating his freedom.

I missed this among the others and it’s extremely overdo but I’m glad he’s finally getting some relief.

My proof that ethical billionaires don’t exist is that there’s a line (I usually like to set it at 10 million due to living in a very high CoL area) beyond this line you will never need more money in your life. Money will no longer improve your standard of living and your savings are enough to ride out life in comfort.

When you reach or approach this line you have two options:

1. Look at everyone you’re working with and help them reach that line - if you’ve accomplished that then start lowering the costs of your business to customers to help your customers reach that line.

2. Squeeze harder so you get more money and everyone around you gets fucked.

If you chose #2 you are a fucking asshole. You cannot become a billionaire[1] except by choosing #2. You have actively chosen to push down those around you so you can watch number go up.

1. The exception here is inheritance though someone with a sizable inheritance also has questions about using it to help those around them and, IMO, the estate tax should be near 100% and we should ensure that everyone has as equal a shot at life as we can. I loathe inheritance of wealth as a general concept though some things like having a family home are obviously pretty meaningful to a lot of people.

Small class sizes with alternative teaching methods were absolutely invaluable to my ADHD ass before diagnosis. I was the stereotypical “Gosh he’s gifted but he’s always so lazy” ADHD kid so small class sizes (it was a group of four of us) to really focus on math kept me engaged and from falling into the ADHD death spiral.

People named Maria be like:

Yea, it used to be MySQL but now it’s truly my SQL

Vermont is pretty overwhelmingly progressive but, more than that, they’re strongly community and social service oriented. Those later two points are usually what causes a rift between the VT GOP and the national party.

Fucking massholes.
