OP pls….

No issues with either one of these options tbh

It’s on our internal searches as well. Some 404’s, some “due to executive order (whatever the fuck number) this page is no longer available” message.

Yeah - this is infuriating. I flew today and went to take out my laptop & tablet - I had packed them in my bag so that it would be an easy move.

She started barking at me not to do that. So I asked about shoes. “I wouldn’t have said it if I didn’t mean it.”

Goddamn lady. You just had to say yes.

The ones on TikTok kill me. They’re the first to complain about younger generations being so loud with their phones, but meanwhile they’re just scrolling that shit in public, a new video every few seconds, with the volume turned up to max.

So you hear every new voice/music with no context.

They do get mad if you have noise cancelling earbuds in, too, so we can’t win. Somehow that makes us in the wrong as well.

The fact that there are no other images of this is odd, but assuming it is at an early voting location today, perhaps they are pretending to be “ghost voters”:

As that drama played out, readers asked Snopes to look into social media posts and media stories reporting that multiple counties in the U.S. had more registered voters than voting-eligible residents. One such story was published by the Washington Times and headlined, “Judicial Watch finds 1.8 million ‘ghost voters’ in 29 states, warns of ‘dirty elections.’”

Judicial Watch, a right wing legal activist organization, claimed to have discovered in an October 2020 study that “353 U.S. counties had 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens.”

Thanks!

This looks like a cool service, but I can’t find their subscription plans/cost anywhere on the website. It looks like I have to sign up for the free trial without knowing how much I’m on the hook for if I forget to cancel in time, and that seems sus.

Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for your service!

My first thought was ‘Russian troll farm’ and I never got to the second thought.

Not necessarily. Some of us are ADHD and we do things like put regular dish detergent in the dishwasher instead of the proper one and make a huge mess, or we load and wash normally but forget we ever did that so the clean dishes just sit in there long enough until they probably need to be rewashed.

I’m shitty at housework but thankfully my parents never thought of disowning me…that I know of.

It’s fine, OP - English is my native language and it irks me some, too, because It was a subject in school that I did really well in and tutored other students.

I’ve come to accept the fact that most folks will always say ‘less’ regardless of the context, I’m guilty of it at times, and at the end of the day it’s not a big deal. But I’m sorry you’re getting the reaction that you are.

My husband and I were actually discussing this a few days ago when I corrected him, again, but at this point it’s more of a running joke between us and he laughs (he is the only person who I ‘correct’ because it is a joke and he finds it funny; I’m not being an asshole when I do it and he knows that).

Holy shit…can we not?

Thank you to circuscritic@lemmy.ca and rentlar@lemmy.ca for breaking this down so exhaustively. It was very helpful and informative.

Has Mexico sent a check yet? Maybe PayPal?

It’s the best possible outcome for everyone, tbh.

Ah fuck…this is coming to Texas soon, isn’t it? sigh

Surprised it already hasn’t tbh.

FTA:

If the strikes drag on, shortages could push vehicle prices higher and strain an economy already bruised by inflation.

Cue the “but I was thinking about maybe potentially kind of buying a new car next year, and this will either make it more expensive or force me to wait” BS

Note: I’m not referring to underprivileged folks whose current vehicle craps out/is stolen and they’re in desperate need of a new method of transportation. I’m talking about folks who are either in no danger of losing their only vehicle &/or can easily obtain a new one and are whining about nothing more than minor inconvenience.

And let’s not forget how embarrassing the state of public transportation is in the US. We basically pretend it doesn’t exist and is impossible to achieve, thus forcing those who live here to have access to some sort of private automobile.

Starting in 2007, workers gave up cost-of-living raises and defined benefit pensions for new hires. Wage tiers were created as the UAW tried to help the companies avoid financial trouble ahead of and during the Great Recession. Even so, only Ford avoided government-funded bankruptcy protection.

Many say it’s time to get the concessions back because the companies are making huge profits and CEOs are raking in millions.

That’s the problem with agreements like this - workers concede because it’s an emergency type of situation, but when things get back to normal it’s never revisited. As a result, the workers have suffered the repercussions of their “emergency time concessions” for 16 years while the companies reap the benefits of their employees’ sacrifice.

This has to be successful…I feel like it will set a precedent going forward regardless of the outcome. Let’s hope it’s positive. Solidarity!
