Same issues with Pop!_OS – I’m having a much better time on Nobara. But you’re making me want to try Kubuntu… still haven’t found my happiest place but I’m happy :)

I thought ambagious was a typo of ambiguous. New word day!

I think it’s going to get worse after he passes, because right now he has an active presence with its own will that his henchmen sort of have to listen to. After he goes, everyone around him is going to start doing some heinous shit “in his memory” or “because he would have wanted it”.

Refusing to discuss nuance is the problem

Read that as United Atlantic Vultures and did a double-take. Not so far off though.

Did you just turn Success Kid into an angry/upset reaction? Rude!

something we desperately need, like making all political donations illegal.

I don’t know how serious this idea is, but I have questions. Wouldn’t making all political donations illegal favor the rich more than the system already does, especially for small local elections? Could people just gift money to a not-yet-candidate prior to starting any campaigning? If yes, then the person with the wealthiest “friends” wins; if no, where do you draw the line chronologically? Is only cash money considered a donation – are stage appearances fine to “gift” to a political candidate? Can I neutralize a candidate by mailing them cash and reporting them? If no, what is required for them to do with the money?

I think I’d rather just see Citizens United overturned, but I’m very interested in more info on this idea

I was just trying to figure out if that’s industry standard or his “veiled” threats… I’m intimidated and I don’t even work there

Wait – unionizing means giving up stock options? I tried verifying this on [search engine] but not finding anything meaningful, is that real?

A fellow opposum!

DEI hire >> nepo hire

Uppies for all of you!

Put your foot down everywhere then – it’s a fallacy to think that it’s not worth it to resist data harvesting because it already gets collected “everywhere” anyway, take one step at a time to make it harder and harder. Opting out of this is just one step.

Isn’t reducing the size of the dataset worth it? I’d rather them have a picture from three years ago than a new scan every month or two.

It’s not such a binary thing as winning or losing, it’s a constantly shifting process. The only way to actually lose is by giving up – instead, consider it making it as hard as possible for your privacy to be infringed upon. Sometimes it’s more inconvenient, but what makes us such a farmable populace is our reluctance to be inconvenienced. Be good at being uncomfortable.

I refused, it went fine. I had to repeat myself because it was unexpected and dudebro wasn’t prepared, and they had to turn on the other machine and wait for it to start up, but it only delayed me like 2 minutes. The more people ask, the easier it gets.

Dems have to be in on it, that’s the only thing that makes sense. It isn’t Dem vs. Rep, it’s rich vs. poor :(

I fucking love beans

What would be extremely rock and roll-- punk rock, even – is donating all of the proceeds from that show to pro-union efforts.

#DonateItDave, or something
