This was the context I never knew I needed, thank you.

Funny meme but also inflation is bad

Good article, but the bit about airline customers being only slightly less likely to use the airline they hate is hardly something you can blame on customers.

If the alternatives either don't exist (e.g., United is the only feasible route between city A and City B), or they are both shitty (Delta is just as shitty as United, so the fact that United breaks guitars doesn't mean I'm more likely to pick Delta), then poor customer service is just the cost of existing.

Same situation as price gouging, or Apple vs Google, Ford vs Chevy, or Samsung vs LG. Yeah, you have options, but none of them respect you. So you can not travel, not communicate, and not be entertained, or you can "voluntarily" participate in what society has become.

Honestly, I'm pretty tired of establishment telling us who we'll vote for.

Not very long ago America was never going to vote for a black man.

Bernie could never beat Trump... for some reason.

I just don't want progressives to do the work of conservatives.

Interesting, I guess this will be a good opportunity for analysis.

Yeah, I agreed with "now isn't the time" when there was a chance to prevent agent orange redux, but now.... Very much the time.

Oh, didn't realize, that is hopeful then

And absolutely agreed in the ranked choice voting. I commented somewhere else that Ohio is a perfect example of the Democrat party going all in to defeat it. Now if it's going to have a chance it'll be an overwhelming referendum and the party on control already has a history of ignoring those without repercussion.

I feel like I just need to watch someone use it... and then will still wonder what the point is and why an interior platform has so much more traffic.

We need to Spend BILLIONS Preventing this!

I'm concerned that now that it looks like they have a chance, it'll be lots of money on character assassination and "now's not the time" messaging. Including from AIPAC.

When did selling a product instead of a subscription become a bad business model?

Edit: I have a lot of trouble believing that a product that could theoretically have value to every person on the planet for current and every future generations, that can't be passed along used or resold, couldn't develop a successful sustainable business model.

I'd say dog pee is the least concerning thing on the list.

Also, parasites 😬

Note it's the second part, but they're both interesting.

You better be built bigger than LeBron if you can shoot a pumpkin from downtown

It's more that clean is hard to find / expensive, and that you can fairly safely build up a tolerance and then burn/snort through a fuckton.

I'm pretty sure all you really need is a plant and some gasoline for distilling or whatever it's called.

Cocaine

Eh, that's really for everyone.

Depending on the company this is exactly the argument I'm favor of lying about a degree: the hiring manager doesn't care, and HR is checking a box.

Whether or not it's a "good" idea in terms of efficacy is probably based on too many unknowns. It's all a crapshoot anyway in terms of the random shit that a resume can be filtered for.

Do you have a source we can reference for that particular bit of shitbaggery?

Edit: congressional report on the shit bags in question:

Certainly isn't closed but it's a great step.

Just got Kubuntu set up, quite happy with it so far.

Kinda hit or miss on Star Trek. Lower Decks is just about the best show ever though.

(Mint is good, don't like Cinnamon all that much, and it's an Ubuntu derivative anyway, so figured Kubuntu would have KDE 'native')

(Tried Fedora, couldn't get codec/video stuff to work right)

(Steam is generally easier and more supported on Debian derivatives, at least for now)
