Another great example - Edward Snowden.

Does anyone really believe that the USA will ever...ever give him a fair trial for what he did? The guy was smart to flee the country. Ah yes, let's give a fair trial to a guy that just jerked the curtain back to prove that yes, Americans are being spied on by the government. That'll go nicely! /s

George W Bush Jr.

Yes I am handing him the worst president title, even over Trump.

Because, it was his mishandled War on Terror, that plunged the country into massive national debt. He crashed the housing market. He literally had waged a war on obese people, minorities and other things as distractions from his failure to capture Osama. He allowed American Surveillance with Patriot Act I and II. His cabinet were all crooks and he was just a dumb puppet.

He is essentially the ripple effect of everything we're dealing with today and Trump is merely the symptom of that.

I'm not going to try prying people I know from their comfort zone. If they want to be on Facebook, fine, be on Facebook. If they want to stay on Shitter, stay on Shitter. If they want to be on Reddit .etc .etc

The reason I left reddit, multiple times, was because of the inexcusable amount of toxicity. It got so bad, that I couldn't complain about my work anymore on a subreddit meant for people who complain about their work. Nothing is done about trolls, they'll happily stalk you, you block one bastard, another makes an alt in seconds to resume.

And spez continues sitting there with his stupid braindead grin on his face, doing fuck all to just do ONE simple thing to prevent it - retool the registration. See, Lemmy trolls can't get away with treating the registration as if it was a machine gun for alts, least not as readily as Reddit's. You have to wait to be approved, you have to make expendable e-mails and there's a bit of time at play here.

Look. There was a subreddit that got banned because it was a bunch of shoplifters, dumb ones, showcasing what they stole. They all claim that they're doing it to hurt corporations.

If anyone had a clue at all about working retail - that's not how it works. The corporation is going to be sailing just fine. It's you, the worker and the store that's getting hurt.

And that's why these shoplifters are absolute assholes. They steal enough, the store is closed, many jobs lost.

How the fuck is that hurting the corporation?

I think it's going to hurt me as a retail worker. Any retail worker knows, that your pay is usually based on how well your store is doing. And your store's profit is tied to the purse of the corporation that in turn, pays you. Now if Trump is dead set serious on wiping Immigrants out of the workforce and not willing to raise the wage and combat inflation (we know he won't). That just means the corporations will start cutting jobs than doing what's right.

And if hundreds of retail jobs are cut, so there will be store closures. Store closures happen, you're out of work because people will not want to pay the high prices of inflation once everything is in full swing.

So, I don't know how I'm preparing for this. It's going to upset a lot of my plans going into next year if my store is affected. I work at Wal-Mart and basically their stance is they're going to raise prices so we can expect to see jobs cut and store closures because of underperforming profits of said stores. Simply because a so-called "businessman" doesn't know how the fuck tariffs work.

As a shopper. I guess it's back to relying on Dollar Tree again...

I really do believe that people remember historical figures moreso for their achievements and impact on the world and society. Than ever the characteristics of their human personality.

Because let's be honest, a lot of historical figures - might surprise you - aren't exactly great people at the whole humanitarian department.

Problem: This is what happens when you pick Apple.

There's smart and then there's cunning.

A lot of people in power aren't smart - they're cunning.

And not counting for the variables like what could go wrong, short-term gains, long-term gains .etc

Good. End us already.

The one millionth post again reminding us:

Trump won by basically uninformed voters and media manipulation.

And

The media being incredibly unhelpful.

Please, bar these posts. They add nothing.

HAHAHAHAHA! Oh man, people think this truly is Reddit to where they think I care about your stupid internet toy. Go touch grass.

Those options aren't really ideal.

What if they live in the middle of no where? And their job commute is 1 hour out? Biking would take double the time and they'd have to leave very early to make it on time.

Not every town has public transit either. Mostly it's the cities that do, metropolitan areas especially. But, not a lot of towns offer travel luxuries.

I've had maybe 6 people that got away who I could have had a better relationship with than most of the ones I already have had.

Thankfully one of them is still a good friend of mine, we just mesh well in behavior and understanding eachother. Unfortunately, it was a case of her being too reluctant to have taken a chance with me when I broke up with one of my exes some 14 or so years ago. Since then, she's been with someone new and while it's been going well. But we've talked at times about how we could've been if we were theoretically together.

And nothing feels worse than not only knowing you could've had them if they just spoke up, but knowing all this time later and not having a crack of a shot to try. It just sucks.

Junk. They're useless because Google has made them online-only machines that are only good for when they're online and fewer ways offline.

For a while, least the early generations of Chromebooks, it was possible to substitute ChromeOS with a Linux distro. However, Google learned of this and decided to take that functionality away and I believe that all current generations of Chromebooks won't allow that.

So, Chromebooks just contribute to e-waste. Good job, Google, you assholes.

This is why we have specialized people who you call to handle these things.

People will be angry but angry at the wrong people. No, let's not be angry at the guy for actively destroying everyone's lives. Let's be angry at blacks. Or gay people. Or transgenders. Or police. Or scientists.

Fucking dumb Americans.

Yeah I mean, people have complicated so many things.

Back in the early days of the internet, you were a laughingstock for being infamous on the internet. Like, you weren't supposed to and it was frowned upon. Now look where that's gotten.

The Squad is looking dumb right now, especially after one of their champions having lost the election. This matter further proves that.

But you'll notice that the price comparison is narrowing and Wal-Mart is slowly not looking better off than the competition. It's almost like shopping at Dollar Tree is more feasible, it's what some of us are going to be forced to be doing if not now. Just shopping Dollar Tree almost regularly.
