Ignorance.
It's practiced by many, in alignment with arrogance. Many different flags, cloths, creeds and livelihoods depend on it.
Intuit about to hire a "private Security company"
Your brevity is perfectly cromulent.
It's global. Denmark just increased retirement age by 3 years. The UK is trying their best to serve their wealthy masters and worsen their system. The fascists running the US right now claim social security is "insolvent" but have passed decades of giveaways to wealthy and corporations instead of funding social security and many other basics....all on the eve of trillions in giveaways of their proposed budget.
Yeah, it's super important for systems that are irrational or benefit some groups more than others, to discourage education, questioning, and substantive debate; they know they would lose. Most religions are like this.
"But in the past year-and-a-half our congregation has tripled in size."
Still the same 2 dudes, I deliberately misleading you with that phrase and was referring to bicep circumference.
Maybe ask him how he feels that his vote is enabling fascism and that he's been led down a path? Tell him you'll accept him calling you as a leftist as an insult if he'll watch this clip the US DOD put out to help Americans identify fascism after WWII. As him if he can honestly say he doesn't feel like a sucker for allowing fascism to take root?
Any time he brings up your politics call him a sucker. See if he can't start working his brain a bit to get out from under it over time, or at least see some of the gaping holes in his view.
So what are the reforms sought that the government is trying for force onto workers in lockstep with major declining states? Can I guess longer working years, reduced benefits...?
General feels are nice and all but now they need to vote. As much as Trump and co distorted relatiy about rallies a ton of union members keep voting for their own destruction.
That's how 20/20 perspective works.
TbF, I think George has played his best basketball with the clippers. Kawahi ruined the team before it got started, though that was on the clippers. Should have moved him years ago.
The global seed vault in Norway is north of the arctic circle as a way of offering preservation insurance and predictable, controlled, frozen temps for food sources and biodiversity. It's constructed deep underground in permafrost.
I was reading a book about refrigeration's impact on the food supply last year and at the end the author decided to visit. The day of her visit it was closed due to emergency at the main gate; meltwater was flooding the entryway. Meltwater North of the arctic circle.
I think it's much more likely you awake when the power goes out because MicrosoftAlphafacebookXDisneyP&G needed more power for a new data center and you couldn't afford a politician to keep your town's power.
Totally lost their way as they commodified and expanded so quickly. Truly great, unique insights are worth keeping small and waiting for. All the ted x and mini Ted x and micro teds etc. just water the brand and impact down.
I went to one in 2015 and cried, multiple times. By 2020 I couldn't even stand to watch them online as everyone was trying to give the next great Ted talk instead of Ted picking the most impactful content. They also got into echo chamber/preaching to the choir territory as it became too rote.
They are people....
Up next, an article about how college kids are skipping learning and just using gpt for everything.
The hypocrisy is wild.
And 🤑. Interesting vomit and money are nearly identical emoticons.
This nanny state for multi-leggers must end. Fancy Feast queens.
How US permitted Utility monopoly rates keep brutally increasing when they should be much cheaper.

2 Caucasian Deschutes County Commissioners vote to dismantle county DEI program, citing not understanding why it ever existed. One minority votes against dismantling. Program dismantled.
Oregon is the only west coast state without a state salaried minimum wage. WA's is now more than CA's. Meanwhile, OR is progressive on hourly minimum wage. Why hasn't this been taken up?
Suggestions please: Low-mid difficulty/complexity, collaborative fantasy/adventure/strategy board game or RPG.
Boeing workers reject contract proposal with 64% saying Boeing hasn't done enough.
Kaiser Permanente - An average corporate interaction; data and privacy abuse, incompetent use of technology, systems and services and consumers left with the burden of chasing down recourse.
Oregon Measure 118 - $1,600 for every Oregonian, paid for by giant corps who mostly pay less taxes than you do.

I'm not a smart man, Jenny. Could we get a Lemmy formatting helper pop-up in the comment/text entry box somewhere?
