Especially since how much ingested fiction is about this exact scenario.

Not me. I’m motivated on making sure myself and all my loved ones get to continue to vote. Stopping Trump and voting for Biden just so happen to line up for that.

Well it’s a valid concern. So I should fucking hope so.

I have “unlimited” with the handbook specifically saying we’re to take at least four weeks a year, and it’s the first time in my career I’ve actually been getting time off because of it. Everywhere non unlimited it was never actually approved and I’d get a lousy check every year for it. You know what’s way better than money? Time off.

If you and your coworkers aren’t using your benefit perhaps you all should discuss it and work out reasonable minimums you all expect to take and then take it. And don’t judge your coworkers for taking any of it.

I mean, you do understand that this money isn’t just vanishing right? It’s being spent on people, manufacturing, materials. It doesn’t just vanish into nothing.

If a business wants a particular outfit to be worn then they should provide the uniforms in their dollar.

Heck, right now, in this same Lemmy: https://lemmy.world/post/14467149

All about how Biden’s administration is expanding the Federal TItle IX protections:

The Biden administration on Friday will announce changes to Title IX, expanding protections for LGBTQ+ and pregnant students while overhauling controversial Trump-era guidance around how schools handled sexual assault cases.

And here people are acting like they do nothing.

Did we magically become a far left utopia? Of course fucking not. But Biden has been far more effective and progressive than I ever expected of him having grown up watching him. Does everything take far longer than it should? Yep, welcome to politics where one side is trying to tear down everything (quite literally) as it’s being built. Are things as progressive as I’d like? No of course not, but they’re frequently more progressive than I expected. That’s the unfortunate truth of how things get done.

And for all the people who are basically saying “I voted once and all my dreams failed to come true”, welcome to your civic duty. Vote the best way you can every election, especially local ones, and realize you’re trying to guide things through your entire lifetime not just 4 years and done.

Machine learning tool used by people too lazy to do their actual job accuses everyone else of using machine learning tools.

Sounds like a great reason to re-nationalize the public utility companies.

Because why should self proclaimed billionaires face consequences for their actions and statements. /sigh

Cool, maybe they’ll make a Marathon game then 😂

“I got mine, the rest can fuck off” says yet another famous asshole

Fuck that. Give me money, I can handle my own emotional business in my own time if I’m not stressed about bills.

I would rather they fund NASA to the fullest, and nationalize SpaceX under them.

Right? I don’t get this. Look Harris is not my first choice for president compared to… well anyone else I had to vote for in the primary she was in. But I’d still take her over literally any person who still feels the republicans represent them in any way.

Cause that’s worked out so well for Britain 🤪

Well, just saying, what creaking bones I had in my 30s don’t even rate in comparison now

50s. Getting back to one’s 30s you’re still old enough for people to take you seriously, but the creaking bones and exhaustion hasn’t really started creeping in yet.

Word it the other way, “we’re the official country we’ve always been, but if those upstarts on the mainland want to secede then fine, we’ll let them”

Either way it’s just propaganda phrasing.

“Oh thank you for letting us know so we can verify that all five have been opened up. Wouldn’t want to miss one”
