well, on the plus side, the killer is in jail now. It shouldn't take national protests for that to happen, though.

I was there, too, and I remember and this shit is fucking disgraceful.

.... does this work with the Republican base?

is there a Republican base anymore?

Is it a MAGA base now?

I'm confused about who's who.

Why do journalists grant their fantasies instead of reporting on these people for what they are: conspiracy nuts.

Investigation after investigation in precints all over the country, many controlled by Republican secretaries of state has found no widespread fraud.

These people are conspiracy nuts. What are we doing reporting on them like they're talking about reality? Is everyone afraid to point out the emperor has no clothes or what?

Oh yes, let's do another special loophole kinda bullshit thing instead of restraining capitalism, breaking up monopolies and providing for the social good.

my friend, having been in the PICU when our child had a luckily fairly mild issue, the people that work there are heroes. Lean on those you love. I wish you the best.

A person entering the Find Out phase of their life now, we all hope. Because leave Steve the fuck alone.

May they find out what kind of treatment they need, then. Finding Out doesn't always have to be negative.

The growing intensity of straw manning over the past decade has hurt us all so much.

Don't try to characterize what "they" would do, then get mad at your hypothetical. We need to talk to each other instead of about each other.

what are "narrow groups"?

andyburke,
@andyburke@fedia.io avatar

Amen. We are always like "but how will we find room for new rail?!"

Well, those highway lanes are looking fucking good and we know adding them didn't help traffic, so why not just take them back?

I know: I will take this stupid idea and make money making fun of it.

This kinda content is garbage, just like the content it's making fun of.

I should stop whining and just unsub. These videos are lame.

My brother in business, I see you.

Once had to ask why the only woman our team was making significantly less. Got a shrug back from the HR director, a woman. I couldn't believe that I had to fight her to bring compensation in line.

It's not JUST the billionaires that are the problem. It's really all the people that need to feel they're somehow above others.

Hello, I am now confused. Can someone link me the song being discussed because I think I only know the US opening?

You're right, my fault. Thanks!

We keep lowering taxes on the wealthiest and then wondering why we can't afford our budgets. How stupid are we? The national debt will get solved the moment we start making corporations and people earning 7 figures (US$) a year pay their fair share instead of spending it on megaprojects and megayachts.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

I use Tidal. It may not be much better than Spotify, but it's better than Spotify.

Transgender activists flood Utah tip line with hoax reports to block bathroom law enforcement (apnews.com)

Transgender activists have flooded a Utah tip line created to alert state officials to possible violations of a new bathroom law with thousands of hoax reports in an effort to shield trans residents and their allies from any legitimate complaints that could lead to an investigation....

When the complaint system is intended to repress, launching a DDoS against it is activism, yes.

Make sense?

Are you saying legislators are unwilling to investigate their own even if they're violating the law?

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

Can you explain what's wrong with this argument? As a relatively disinterested observer it seems reasonable to me.

andyburke,
@andyburke@fedia.io avatar

I'll say that this reaction does nothing to make me think you are approaching this with any objectivity.

The argument, to me, seems to be that it's impossible in the modern world as things stand to actually totally avoid animal products. That would seem like an issue that Veganism should be concerned with.

I see your point, I think, about it being an individual choice. But though I have heard of things like vegan shoes, I can see how saying those are vegan when you may not control all the inputs seems problematic.

Regardless, your response was so unpleasant that I don't think I'm much interested in continuing.

Sweet summer child, replace "dubstep" with "techno" or "techno" with "disco" or ....

andyburke,
@andyburke@fedia.io avatar

Personally I feel your view is too constrained to your own timeline and experiences and is discounting the spread of technology in music for at least a century.

Look, I agree, but:

Someone just like you would have written the same comment back then.

It is always this way.
