I don’t know if you like podcasts, but Know Your Enemy is a take on the right from two leftists who used to be conservatives who approach it from an intellectual POV.

I linked to the political magazine that helps support them since it gives some rundowns of their topics that might give you some of the sources that can be read instead of listening to their podcast, if you’d prefer.

I’m confused. No silver piece is in sight. How do they expect to be taken seriously! /s

Same with Google’s ads in general. For a long time they were whitelisted by default on just about every adblock list out there because they were so unobtrusive it didn’t make sense to bother blocking them, especially when you compared them to the other ads that were common at the time. They were also generally relevant ads, so people actually did click on them and use them since it actually related to the thing they were searching for.

They’re obviously more profitable now, but you have to wonder by how much and if they’d be a more trusted company today (and what’s that worth monetarily) if they hadn’t gone down this race to the bottom.

ETA: Part of what I mean is that now they create things like Stadia and most people didn’t even bother trying it because they knew it’d hit the Google Graveyard in a few years. Had Google been a more trusted company, people may have been willing to give it a try and they could possibly have printed money since by all accounts the service was actually pretty good.

Right‽

The movie was unbelievably dumb and personally I loved it! Dunno what that guy wanted/expected out of the movie, but I feel like it delivered on what the title promised me

Dishwashers are a luxury, but they also use a LOT less water than you’ll use manually washing dishes and (as long as you clean their filters and use the right detergent) generally do about as well as a bored person doing the dishes will do (ie every now and then you’ll find one with gunk but not too frequently).

Personally, my household has 3 adults and I would go for the full size dishwasher and figure something else out for storage … It’s also possible the smaller ones might be perfect for baking sheets and whatnot. If you haven’t, try to do a mock layout with painters/masking tape and see what you can make fit in that space to try and help with planning, if you can.

With all that said, worst case scenario if no one wants to manually wash dishes, you have to run it twice in one day, every now and then, which doesn’t seem horrible.

Lol, even the “if legal tender is refused” concepts are for debts and not just things you want!

Like, if they’re refusing to take his money after he ate food at a restaurant, he’s got a bit of a point, but if he’s in the grocery store and walked out with shit, they refused a customer not a debt!

Same, but for the red ones for me.

It gets funky … from what I’m finding (I found more, but this was the easiest and it comes from a legit looking location), there is such a thing as negligent fraud in CIVIL law, but even that requires that you to have not had reasonable reasons to believe it to be true. I would argue that they’re idiots and should have known better, but, I can’t say that I’d win that argument in a courtroom (if I somehow found myself there, lol).

On the criminal side, from what I’m seeing they basically all require some form of intent, but ‘fraud’ at a criminal level doesn’t seem to exist, it’s all different legally defined types of fraud.

Either way, you’d still be guilty of driving without a valid license whether you thought you had one or not, it’s just giving an invalid ‘license’ over to the officer wouldn’t necessarily have been fraud.

From what I can see, fraud requires intent, so if these whackadooos actually believe it’s valid, then it wouldn’t be fraud, but would still violate some other law that doesn’t require intent (similar to how manslaughter and murder both result in someones death but murder basically requires intent and manslaughter doesn’t).

My favorite non-example of this was in Mr Robot. The main character starts explaining something and the other character just says something like “we know what a raspberry pi is jackass” and it was fantastic.

In a right to work stste

Some cities and counties have additional protections, but at the state level, the only one that’s not at-will is Montana and the entire population of that state would fit in a single decently sized city. So, I think that’s a distinction that wasn’t really necessary, but you do you.

Aw man! I thought they raced the owls!

No wonder I lost my bet!

To add to what herrcaptain said, her saying that being a Republican in Hollywood was like being a Jew during the Holocost seemed to have been the breaking point.

Before that she also made a lot of tweets making fun of pronouns and such too, but nothing overtly hateful, so she had managed to skate by until she upped the stupidity.

Do you just throw your garbage on the ground so janitors have something to do too? Pat yourself on the back while doing it?

From what I understand due to the way that Lemmy handles federation, it doesn’t (currently?) have a way to handle an instance changing its domain name and still being able to communicate or even an individual user changing their instance and retaining their comments/votes/etc… (this might be more ActivityPub limited since the way Mastodon does it still seems pretty hacky and just a work around for underlying issues).

From a website perspective, yeah, just change some settings and you’re good to go and accessible on the web, but that doesn’t mean that anything regarding Lemmy is going to actually work.

When I was a cashier, I’d tell people that and they’d respond that it wouldn’t fill out the carbon copy, so they’d just manually continuing to fill out the check anyways and hold up the line :-\

With the machine filling out the checks, it’s no slower than running a credit/debit card.

It doesn’t map, just makes a bunch of straight lines throughout the room and goes around things it bumps into.

Definitely enjoyed it!

The song was a bit shocking, but fun. The Doctor singing wasn’t all that crazy, but Ruby doing it was. Hopefully they continue to show her being that quick witted in the future.

I’m not sure on the new sonic though. When I initially saw pics of it, I thought it’d be a bracelet type situation and that’s cool, but that doesn’t seem like it’s the case and it just seems big and bulky. Time will tell.

Same, mines like a $40 one from a few years back on black friday. Does it do a great job? No, each individual run is objectively not good and it misses some stuff, but over the course of a week it averages out to pretty freaking great and all I’ve gotta do is empty its bin when I get home from work at least once or twice. 10/10, would recommend and seeing the amount of cat hair its picked up is pretty disgusting.

I believe they’re saying that Chipotle is helping OP by making it so OP doesn’t eat there.
