They also drop a cool shield in Elden Ring.

Some useful simulations for understanding many proposed voting styles, and the potential drawbacks of each.

Brief moment when the black vote mostly got ahead of voter disenfranchisement efforts.

This wasn’t too long after MLK’s assassination, and Montgomery was a major target of his efforts to increase black voter registration.

Not sure if it’s my specific app or lemmy as a whole, but that spoiler tag isn’t working. Sometimes they’ll break if you put a space between the tag and your text.

Looks like reddit spoiler tags just don’t work in general

“Hey this is CVS, we have your prescription ready”

[Go to CVS]

“Oh, we received the prescription from your doctor but it isn’t filled yet. Can we fill it now? No, come back in 2 hours.”

“China is the worst polluter on the planet and they need to do better”

“NO NOT LIKE THAT!”

Because unemployment isn’t really that low. When we talk about “people here now who could use those jobs”, we’re usually talking about people in dead end jobs that could use a career job.

So great, pull them into our elder care system, give them a career level up…now their old jobs are still unfilled. And while we’re super shitty as a country towards entry level service workers, we also as a country really want those jobs to be filled. So we’d need to fill that gap in the employment pool somehow.

It’s the “all your eggs in one basket” problem.

Just in case you misread the title (because I did at first), Namibia is explicitly not looking into other people’s pants now.

Why did it take until 2024? Humans being humans, I guess. Gotta go after some “other”.

While I agree with the sentiment here, this is pretty 1-dimensional. For one, US support of Ukraine actually has little to do with democracy and everything to do with national sovereignty. One nation with imperial ambitions invaded another nation without pretense, US provides aid to stave off that invasion.

Hypocritical given US history of imperialism? Sure. But it’s NOT imperialism under the mask of democracy.

Similar arguments apply to various points on this list. Supporting NATO is about maintaining a military alliance against common enemies, not spreading democracy.

They crack nuts with their beaks, we had to invent a tool for that job.

The big neon Check Engine light is a nice cherry on top

Progressive tax brackets. This hypothetical tax is only on money earned over 10M/1M.

I mean…

[Gestures wildly at the state of the USA]

Yeah.

“In a gold rush, you want to be the guy selling the shovels”

Nvidia is the shovel-seller right now. A couple of AI companies will probably get huge, 99% will fail. But Nvidia is getting paid by them all.

I thought it was a photoshop. That shit is actually real, lol.

But US paper sizes don’t tile nearly as well as metric paper sizes do, is the point

Commercial printers will print most everything on A0 paper, but since all metric paper is doubling or halving sizes with respect to each other, they can tile a bunch of print jobs into the same A0 paper and then cut them apart, saving machine time by turning a bunch of small jobs into one big job.

“I did that” sticker people in shambles
