My homie works at Costco and makes more than half my friends with degrees - loves his coworkers and gets paid much better than when I worked grocery.

I think they’re good with raises, too.

Yea let’s just give a vulnerable population a free trial of a gambling addiction lol

I’m from small town VT just across the river, and while that hasn’t been my personal experience I absolutely have known people who have had that experience. Small town USA is unbelievably messed up, but everyone likes to act like its only in the cities. Felt like half my town was Section 8, and an actual full 10th of the population was from the county jail on furlough. Since I’ve left, violent crime/murder rate has gone up a lot and heavy drug use is rampant.

I’m sorry dude.

I mean I’m sure Lemmy’s server process is stateless, I’m sure it could use CloudRun/ECS pretty efficiently and that wouldn’t really require a rewrite (unless the process is stateful for some reason)

!enoughmuskspam already exists somewhere I think

… you’re the one that invented the “chaser” angle though, speculation you “felt” was true with no real basis for that. The commentor was genuinely not being transphobic, nor did they “group” post op and pre op as “the same”. Those two groups of people made it onto their list of “people I could be attracted to” when they were directly asked if those two groups were physically attractive to them. Please stop inventing drama, that commentor doesn’t deserve to be witch hunted across unrelated threads.

Fuck transphobes tho. Trans rights are human rights.

Yes, the old testament has some ethically bad things in it, all Abrahamic religions share that. I’m also atheist. I just don’t make a point of commenting “fictional character” on a meme that happens to use the word “god”, not even capitalized lmao. Perhaps you aren’t aware of how much of a militant atheist you come off as. Out of curiosity, have you ever put the bible in the fiction section?

I would never read an innocuous meme comment condemning slavery and think “ah yes, time to make a point about religion being fake and bad”.

Oh I’m quite aware, all Abrahamic religions have the same base of messed up morality. I’m not religious. I just find the sort of militant atheist that would make a point of “fiction” annoying.

bruh

you don’t need to evangelize your lack of a religion to me. Evangelicals are so annoying.

it’s a meme you dip

Every day we stray further from gods light

they’ll what now?

At least where I live the induction coils frequently won’t pick up my motorcycle, let alone my bicycle!

Well they have a nice integration with things like Cloud Run, etc. that made using your custom domain with GCP hosted stuff pretty simple compared to using externally hosted registrars. That may change going forward I guess.

almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

History isn’t your strong suit, is it?

Ah well, the current oligarchic state of China is totally unrelated to the system that created it, and instead is a bastardization of “true” communism, right?

A solid clarification! ✌

Yea I’m familiar with the “traditional” use of liberal/conservative, which is why I called out neolibs specifically. I just assume anyone using “libs” is probably more on the “own the libs” side of the dunning Kruger curve. /shrug

Neolibs, sure, but I don’t associate the typical lefty with “corporate rights” lol. Meanwhile most righties I know want the deregulation of most industries in the name of “personal liberties”, but all it does is allow corporations to do whatever they want. Neolibs love unregulated markets though.
