It didn’t feel like they were stable and would take care of us though, the nuclear drills sure didn’t help. Also, I know a lot of army vets that weren’t drafted but went to school with the army bill. There are people out there that still know that war sucks. Also, the kids now have school shooting drills, they kind of live with the potential of war and some have seen it. There does seem to be an incredible breakdown with the money in politics, no shame and we’re extremely close to having a dictator after they attempted a coup, I’ll give you that.

Double edged sword, them firing him will probably release him from his contracts so he can pursue that money train.

Just like neighborhoods in real life, you have to find a neighborhood you like. I wish it was more explained when you first sign up, but it does matter what instance you make your home. That instance decides what’s on your front page and the tone of your stay on Lemmy. Lemmy.ml is not a good fit for you it seems like, so try another neighborhood (or instance).

I guess I’m biased, I have a lot of boomer relatives and parents of friends that are still working in tech. In my world, it’s a lot of them.

No, a very tiny number of them were.

The following might be true, I also know a lot of younger people in every generation that don’t know tech. I mean most humans don’t want to know that stuff unless they have to. Maybe that’s confirming that Gen x and Millennials had to know.

Gen Z grew up with tech just basically works, and hides all the complicated stuff behind 17 submenus and automatic installs. I know plenty of gen Z who literally don’t know what a file path is.

I don’t think you know your generations, the boomers were the creators of the internet and tech but didn’t know that had it so good and think everyone else does. Their parents were the ones that didn’t get tech so much. The gen x just goes along with everyone because they’ve never had any power and probably never will, they’re being skipped. Millennials are gen x extreme but have more numbers, and gen z is fucked. This isn’t a generational thing but a power and status thing. The people who have power and money have been fucking over the ones that don’t since this country began.

In Seattle, it’s pretty obvious if they’re going to ask for a tip so you can plan for it. They’re actually outgoing and nice to you, lol. I know that trick!

“No, thank you.” is my go to.

It happened to me a lot, enough for me to go through the manufacturer if at all possible.

No, Amazon sends whatever they feel like sending, not that the small business is bad. The small business probably doesn’t even know it’s happening.

You can find independent sellers on amazon, then if their product is good, you buy from them directly next time around.

That’s not true, you may or may not get what you ordered because they have a “close enough” rule.

I’d never heard of this treatment, isn’t this alternative medicine territory? It makes me wonder how much medicine makes fun of alternative medicine while they quietly study it so they can copy it. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/17827-transcranial-magnetic-stimulation-tms

What can anyone do except the people who have got his back? We can complain and shame them, but that’s about it. Over half the Scotus seriously sucks.

I have no idea of what you’re trying to say. Are you saying we should have made more fun of the Roe v Wade people because I don’t remember anyone doing that in the last 20. People are making amazing memes on Trump, even his supporters probably think so. The trial will bring home what a shit stain he is.

What part of the last 7 years has made sense? We all have to let off a little steam here and he hates being made fun of. I don’t know, give us this one.

I think it depends on each one and the instance you’re on. But yeah, I hope it doesn’t go that route too far.

How do you feel about Bernie or AOC, they are the system and aren’t trying to burn it down. They just want to fix the system.

Guess where a lot of airplane parts are made too.

They’re just another hatchback and you can’t really tell that it’s a tesla except for the logo.

They (the trolling kind) definitely had a system going on Reddit, they haven’t figured it out yet here though. Don’t count on them not figuring out here, they’re a wily bunch and have still stirred up quite a bit of trouble too much of the time.
