  • In sports, 'trash talk' is saying mostly untrue negative things about the other team as part of pumping up your team. Maybe it has different connotations for people who don't interact with sports culture, but for me it strongly implies rhetoric and hyperbole.

  • Not a hypothetical: Hostess folded, as did Yellow trucking. Unions can't save a business from bad business decisions or destructive market forces.

    But businesses fold all the time, union or no union. When business is good, unions make sure the employees get a fair piece of that.

  • With a housing shortage, say 10 people needing a place to live in this space, renting 2-3 houses leaves 7-8 people homeless. Making progress can't be just a rejection of sub(sub)standard solutions, it has to also be building acceptable but dense housing.

  • It's almost certainly unconstitutional, but there's not specific case law so it has to be litigated to know for sure. So there needs to be people charged who have the means and willingness to go through several years of trials and appeals. And they have to maintain that motivation for a long time - some cases drag on for a decade or longer.

    The point isn't to make it illegal forever, it's to scare people and organizations without the resources to engage in a legal fight to stop supporting interstate care for the next three or five or ten years.

  • It's not that they shut off, it's that many units are sized so questionable for the square footage they are able to cool that the filter being dusty or clean is the difference between being able to cool the room to the target temperature or not.

  • If volunteer admins are at their limits, tools to enable admins to manage larger communities needs to come before further growth. Yes, lemmy needs an order of magnitude growth to be able to seriously compete on content, but outgrowing admin capacity is not a sustainable path.

  • Girls are made to feel unwelcome in chess environments at a very young age. Of course once many drop out because of cultural pressure, the remaining small sample size will have less spread than the larger population of men who have been made welcome in chess environments their whole lives.

  • I might end up wanting a video, but there is so much low-quality content in search results. I can click into and out of six bad sets of written instructions in the time it takes me to watch one video far enough through to realize it doesn't answer my question. Please, search engines, place more written instructions higher up.

  • What a heartless attitude to value their aesthetic preferences over the safety of your pets. (Adorable pets as we can tell from the cat tax!) And good on you and your neighbor to go through all that research, and inquiries, and installation work (not to mention navigating the negative social interactions with that board) to provide your cats with the best environment. I can understand how with all that investment in the current setup why the neighbor would get attached to it.

    They could have avoided all this by just doing their own research and offering some safe alternative to cat safety, working with you guys, instead of going power hungry and heartless. Thanks for sharing your successful 'compliance'!
