Start talking to your coworkers!

Even if you don’t convince your workplace to unionize, you’re laying the groundwork for the next person who tries.

And as we enter the “Entire cities burning down” part of climate change the world will do… Absolutely nothing.

I don’t know what the whole answer would be, but a huge part of it would be whiskey.

Hurt my knee cuz I sat down wrong. Had to add “can’t tuck my leg behind me when I sit” to the old man list.

Also fostering, if it would be a good fit, too.

You know it’s very easy to get a bow and arrow right? Even if you’re a felon with mental health problems.

Live your dreams.

12% of people are in poverty so 50% being low income sounds right. Especially cuz 60k a year is basically poverty in some parts of the country.

About 9% of kids are “food insecure” meaning their household income is so low access to food is uncertain or limited.

I wouldn’t have technically qualified as either poverty-stricken or food insecure as a child, but I sure felt poor and went to bed hungry sometimes.

The numbers here may not be accurate, but the official numbers are bleak enough and certainly don’t tell the whole story.

I’m a fan of Lemmy, for the memes and link aggregator aspect of it. And sense of community, there are trolls but it’s generally pretty positive.

I also like the Old Internet feel that the Fediverse in general has. I’m going out and looking for things that interest me again rather than hoping for something new to come into my feed. Actually reading articles. Commenting more than twice a year.

We’ll see what happens but overall, I think I’m staying.

Stuff can also be funny twice.

Like sure I’m not gonna repost something knowingly but I’ll chuckle at this the next time I see it.

I doubt anyone but me has even looked at it in years so I doubt I’m benefiting somehow.

It is a strange practice now that I think about it. Never occurred to me that it wasn’t normal.

Nah my job is terrible I’m barely getting the due benefits lol. Thank you though. I figured I’d have to do something malicious for it to matter, but I’ve never even thought about this stuff.

It is kinda odd that they ask at all.

Yeah all good points, thanks. Why rock the boat. I’ll just pretend like I never noticed.

It almost reads to me like he worries how much support he had in Moscow. If the Wagner group is 25k strong and 100s of kilometers away why flee? Unless there seems to be grumbles from the royal guard about killing their countrymen over 1 dude.

Are you guys OK? I go more than 1-2 days and I feel like death.

Huh, even with context, I guess.

Terrible case of not liking new bathrooms? I hate public restrooms too but, my brother in christ take some deep breaths you’ll get through.

Or maybe a sex journey, thanks /kbin 🤣

I believe most of them have a “free” mode, but it’s just a matter of time. Peloton was floating bricking their treadmills without a subscription but I think they backed down. Still, why would I buy anything that could be remote bricked?

Fortunately a lot of normal countries have laws against stuff like that. We may have to buy Australian treadmills in the future.

Gotta be Rapunzel right? All that hair.

Yeah they overcharged him thinking he’d take a plea. Kinda standard but fucked up, too.

Someone who’s more informed than me, please chime in.

As I understand it Alexis stepped away from the board(?) of reddit in 2020. Supposedly in protest after George Floyd was murdered. I believe he’s just your standard “Hey look, I’m woke too!” venture capitalist nowadays. Likely still heavily invested in reddit, seeing as I don’t think he’s spoken out on the controversy lately.

He caught a lot of heat for firing Victoria back in 2015 iirc.

Most of what I saw about him was from his own website so take it all with a huge grain of salt.

Although as much as I hate to give props to a rich guy, he does put on a much better Real Human act than spez, Musk, or Zuc.

I feel like this would be highly dependent on your resume.

Might catch some looks if your work experience is mostly Dennys and Walmart and you’re trying to hide a six month gap behind an NDA.
