Propose a solution to move forward.

A variable length lookbehind is the same as the opposite of a variable length lookahead.

By most accounts, he makes his "shitty" movies because he's bored or one of his friends needs a job. Any major actor in Hollywood is, barring insane lifestyle stuff, rich enough to never work again.

I would legitimately like to work on one of his films. I feel like it'd be a blast.

You chose wisely.

Awesome, thank you!

I didn't see any content when I tried it before posting, so I figured to just leave it out. You're right, though. Hopefully, as Lemmy evolves, we'll have a way to follow or "subscribe to" Mastodon users like we do communities.

Fair warning: This only works if the other party, or the people watching the argument care. If the other party is just arguing in bad faith, don't expect to have a productive conversation. If the people watching the argument don't care and just want to see a spectacle, logic ain't gonna work.

You can also find it on Mastodon, @elonjet@mastodon.social

It's worth noting, despite the terrible campaign, Clinton still won the popular vote.

That is a 50 state strategy. The electoral college is a problem, too.

No, it's not.

While the current expenditures predict, without any action, one of the funding sources for social security, the trust fund, will deplete in 2032, payroll taxes still exist.

Although the Trust Fund is projected to be depleted in 2033, Social Security will not be insolvent or bankrupt. Although it may not be able to pay 100% of the program’s cost, as it stands now, Social Security estimates it will be able to cover approximately 76% of the program’s cost due to employee and employer payroll taxes.

A simple fix -- remove the cap on the ssa taxable cap. Currently, only income under $160,200 (2023) is taxed for social security. Removing, or simply raising that cap opens up solvency for decades.

Alimony shouldn't exist.

But we should also have social safety nets in place such that alimony isn't necessary.

The idea of alimony, though, has morphed over the years from allowing someone to, as you say, consider divorce without being trapped by finances, to replacing a stay-at-home spouse's potential income had they not been the stay-at-home spouse. That change makes me pretty uncomfortable, especially the government stepping in requiring an ex spouse to pay what the other person might have made.

Legolas?

I have a bunch of those in GitHub actions now! "This will be deprecated in 2023..." for the AWS SDK.

NCAs are already largely unenforceable anyway. Federal and state laws prohibit them except in cases of direct competition and the employee having specialized knowledge or skills. And even then, they can't be for long periods of time, and if they would prevent the employee from a livelihood they can't be enforced.

Usually what happens is someone who has a NCA will be hired by a new employer. That employer will see how long the NCA is in force and just have the employee on the payroll but not working until it expires. That, or they will pay the penalty in the NCA, whichever is cheaper.

Even then, your rights are limited. You can't show it publicly, or make a copy except for personal backup, for instance.

How the fuck am I supposed to evaluate my worth as a person without an arbitrary number assigned by internet strangers???

I'm sure they can afford a lawyer. I was more referring to the link between being a Trump supporter and Trump's own ... habit of not paying his lawyers.

The best way I have to describe this kind of movie is "delightfully terrible."

From the article, emphasis mine:

“Will this undermine most of what makes IAmA special? Probably,” the moderators wrote. “But Reddit leadership has all the funds they need to hire people to perform those extra tasks we formerly undertook as volunteer moderators, and we’d be happy to collaborate with them if they choose to do so.”

I think they're wrong. I don't think Reddit has the funds.

If they're trump supporters... they probably wouldn't be paying you anyway.

Good news! It's a private company who will totally treat your data respectfully and secure it properly!
