Excitedly the crimes he was charged with today have minimum sentence AND are GA state charges only - so he cannot pardon himself even if he were to be elected president again. (GA GA (LOL) could likely drop the charges if the Trumpists were to take over enough of the state, again, I guess)

I should have tested before posting. you are right - it's not there right now. I edited my comment

~~You mean like when you visit a Google service (Gmail, Google, Maps ...) on a non Chrome browser it bugs incessantly to switch?

It's pervasive and it stinks, but it's not Microsoft. It's our current capitalist gestalt.~~

EDIT: I'll be damned: It's not on Google anymore .... I either imagined it, or they removed their nagging. My bad. Thanks to the commenters who pointed it out.

Let’s be real. This is unworkable. A fixed “commute” pay sure but

• the company has no way to know how long it takes to commute each day
• the company does not choose where you choose to live
• your distance from office would be a hiring factor - just a mess for discrimination lawsuits.

I am for the risk of the commute not falling entirely on the employee. But “job pays for commute” always strikes as a silly proposal.

Indeed. Grew up in a country that phased it out just as I was coming of age. The whole problem was that it was way corrupt, useless, and worst case scenario - men in mid-30s with job, kids, mortgage got called in because the system was so broken.

That is what did the system in. Everyone saw it would be useful to keep it. But we simply could not afford to find it properly or care enough to make more than a useless wasted year.

Ok fine. I can concede the point that women should help.

But it is not women’s fault that men are lonely. It’s definitely not feminisms fault.

I see. Did not realise there is such a defined line.

I do find PyCharm easier than VSCode but never could put a finger on it.

Please separate government and politicians and media. Plenty hard work happening in our agencies solving important issues. And of course then congress wakes up and just spews bullshit.

Oracle or RedHat?

Yes. It’s many years in my past, but this was confirmed. Target still does their targeting but now scatter unrelated items in the ads to hide what they know.

Let’s wait for the final bill.

I do not thing we will return to user swappable batteries. It will just be easier to have a shop replace your battery. But that is just my guess. We do not know the final bill yet.

I agree the convenience would be great. But the reason it’s rare is that the business model does not work out for the newspapers.

This would lead to reduced revenue for the newspapers.

We already live in the world where news is behind paywall and disinformation is free. This would lead to collapse of more newspapers and further deterioration of the landscape.

We need a better model than Spotify to apply to news.

I think we need links - for science.

I agree. Keeping the sale illegal perpetuates the terribleness of drug gang. But it’s a popular take because it removes state responsibility for regulating recreational use and abuse.

Also, however, it is possible to find new ways. For example in a Denmark sex work is legal, but profiting off of sex work is not. Which on the surface makes no sense (a sex worker cannot rent a hotel room for example). As a result women run old fashioned brothels that are employee owned coops.

A partial legalisation could breed some similar non capitalist innovations.

This an opinion that is largely becoming edge-of-accepted though out the west. It’s a valid political stance and it’s the law in some countries already.

I think it’s a challenging take because you combine multiple issues.

We need to solve the housing and cost of living crisis.

We need to solve why we let mentally I’ll become so desperate they become homeless.

And then yes- nothing wrong with well run mental asylums. They existed and in Europe still exist for a reason. People need help. Reagan thought kicking them to the street would be more fun.

Then - discounts for shorties? How about meatheads? When a body builder checks in- also an extra fee? How about tall people?

My point is - draw out this thought further.

For various reason I agree with this in principle - but it needs elaboration.

That is an important point. But why it’s unpopular is that it’s not “feminism’s” job to do this. Feminism is a struggle to give women equal opportunities to men. They do not include race, poverty, and definitely not men’s issues in this.

To put it bluntly: It’s not women’s job to fix men.

Men’s loneliness crisis may have come about as a result of modern societal changes. Including equality for women. But it’s men who need to organise and fix that.

(And honestly- as someone who has moved around the western world - this seems uniquely American problem. European men have rich social lives. Even in the most feminist nations)
