The general take away is "Surveillance is oppression and it is the responsibility of the people to stand up against oppression".
A few other quotes I like that fit the theme.
"People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people."
— V (V for Vendetta)
"Without privacy, you can't have anything for yourself. Saying you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."
I feel like this applies to all social media. Why single out Lemmy? Do you feel it is more toxic than other social media sites? Do you have any examples of the type of toxicity you feel are most prevelant, along with where (community / instance)?
In my opinion, the most important aspect of a healthy and strong relationship (romantic or platonic) is communication.
Talk to him. Mention it as an observation, ask him about why he thinks he does this, tell him your thoughts or concerns about it, whatever. It might be one conversation or multiple conversations over a period of time. The point is to bring up the topic and harbor a safe space to discuss anything with little to no judgement.
Toyota already admits that they are behind on their battery technology, despite having decades of opportunities to improve and innovate with their hybrid models.
Now they want to double down on their atrophy by effectively throwing their money away instead of investing in the future?
On the surface, this does not sound like a good plan for long term growth and profitability.
Nooooo! 😭 I so badly wanted this to be real. I had even looked it up by ISBN to try and order it. The ISBN is for a book titled Brute Orbit, if anybody is curious.
There are 54 pages of risk factors, which, after reading many S-1 filings over the years, seems pretty long. One of the most notable is the sentence, “We have incurred substantial losses during our history and may never achieve profitability.”
I did this when I was younger through a couple of staffing agencies. Jobs ranging anywhere from 1 day to 2 weeks with various rates of pay. I cleaned stores and their parking lots, parked cars, performed data entry, emptied trucks, performed inventories, etc.
I haven't used these agencies in many years, but I assume that they are still around and providing the same services.
... violated the Constitution’s ban on taking of private property for public use.
Do they think that regulating the usage of private property is the same as having it taken away? Was their argument really "As long as it's on my property, I should be able to do whatever I want, whenever I want, to whomever I want. Anything else is a violation of my rights!"
I used to spend a lot of energy being concerned what other people thought of me. How I dressed, how I acted, what I owned, etc. One day I realized 2 things:
Most people are too busy thinking about themselves to spare any meaningful thoughts for me.
I'm never going to see most of these people ever again so it doesn't matter what they think.
After that I started directing that energy into making sure that I approved of my choices rather than hoping strangers would.
I wonder if mRNA vaccine treatment for cancer is what they are referencing.
From what I was able to understand (and maybe somebody can correct anything I've gotten wrong), the "vaccine" is tailored on a per-individual basis to target key protein markers of a petients particular cancer. This allows the body to identify and start to attack the cancer where previously the immune system would not be able to tell the difference between healthy and cancerous cells.
