I find it amusing that they used a poster from the 2004 remake for Dawn of the Dead.

If you want to know why it feels like that,

That may have contributed.

I think lemurs like the op said is better. However, I also think the ship has probably already sailed and lemmings is what it is.

Molon labe, commonly translated as, "come and take them." Referencing the (likely apocryphal) story of King Leonidas saying this to Xerxes when he demanded they give up their arms. The Persian army then rolling over the Spartans easily. Gun nuts find this story inspiring for some reason.

Canada is 65.

Tabasco or some other hot sauce in the pizza sauce would be a lot more ideal, but on top is acceptable if that's what's available.

Do you think this person was referring to actual Hamas members when they said "HAMAS BABIES?"

If the idea is to help Harris win maybe they should keep this endorsement on the DL.

That's Jordan Peterson. Cruz was a dual citizen until he renounced his Canadian citizenship so it's a shared shame, Peterson is strictly on us.

His mother was American and his father was, I believe, Cuban. Neither had Canadian citizenship. They happened to hatch him in the territory of Canada while his mom was working in Alberta, so he technically was Canadian until this all came out in 2014 or 2015 when he was running in the Republican primary and he renounced his citizenship. Unfortunately for you, he was a dual citizen thanks to his mother so you can't deport him back to us. Feel free to deport him into the Gulf of Mexico if you want, though.

Yeah I'm sure Trump would never excavate a grave for money.

I wonder how many classified documents are buried with her?

But that person only commented once.

Remember that time the NYT published Judith Miller's stenography for the Bush Administration's lies leading up to the war in Iraq? I'm sure they learned their lesson from that debacle, though.

I wonder what Media Bias Fact Check has to say about them?

What a goddamned joke.

Why would she? So he can creep on a presidential candidate the way he did the hawk tuah girl?

I don't bother personally for the most part but it seems like you can do it via --embed-metadata, --parse-metadata, and --embed-thumbnail.

One of my favourite applications. I stopped paying for spotify and just use this to get music these days. Everything gets uploaded to youtube anyways.

I generally do that waiting in a beautiful place chilling with friends. It's the journey not the destination, etc. Although actually catching fish is great as well.

I've said this before, but coming up with no ideas of your own except to crack your whip at other people until they do something is bad McDonald's manager level of leadership. Housing is an issue country wide, expecting municipalities to each individually come up with solutions for you instead of developing a country wide strategy is going to lead to extremely uneven results at best. Most likely it's going to be a disaster everywhere because municipalities don't have the power to deal with root causes like land speculation the way the federal and provincial governments do.

I also would bet money that if municipalities start getting homes built in ways the Conservatives don't like, like public housing, they will be punished for that as well.

Macho Man also released a diss track about Hulk Hogan.

A little tangential but how often do you get a chance to reference this?

AKA Gender affirming truck.

You don't have to take Russia's word on it. USA and Russia inspected each other's nuclear arsenal as part of the New START treaty until the beginning of covid.

This is less a reason to use Lemmy or MBin over the other specifically: One of the great features of the fediverse is that the content is not siloed off behind one interface. Usage and development can happen on both and any number of other interfaces and all of them will have access to the same content (barring federation issues, but that should become less of an issue as ActivityPub and various interfaces mature).

As for there being enough people to populate interface specific communities/magazines/whatever, you can't take a snapshot of today and project that into the future statically. The fediverse population is still relatively low compared to commercial social networking sites, but there is enough of a core userbase for new people to accrete onto over the course of time. There is a potential future where the user base flips, or doesn't but both Lemmy and MBin have large userbases, or another interface that doesn't even exist yet takes off and becomes larger than both. But it doesn't really matter because all that's happening in those cases is people are being offered different ways of accessing the same content that better match their preference.

Bringing it back to the original point, that the content is not siloed means development on various interfaces can happen concurrently to make things not necessarily better than each other, but more suited to different tastes. You aren't locked into whatever Reddit, or Twitter, or whatever decides the interface should look like.

Surely linking affordable groceries to communism will make affordable groceries less popular rather than communism more popular.

The world population has nearly doubled in my lifetime. That's not sustainable. We need to build systems that promote and function within a state of equilibrium.

Yes, there is absolutely a moral distinction between arming an invader and arming a defender. The US is doing good in arming Ukraine and bad in arming Israel. Pretty simple.

As for illegal, lol. Israel going to call the cops?

They should petition the US government to stop arming Russia like they do Israel to end the conflict.

Oh, right...

It's most likely a bad faith hail mary lawsuit.

[Referencing the ARA ballot measure]

The measure will face a competing ballot measure sent to ballot via the Arizona Legislature and backed by the Arizona Restaurant Association. That proposal would allow restaurants to pay tipped workers 25% less than the minimum wage.

After being previously voted down in the Senate, Senate Concurrent Resolution 1040, formally known as the “Tipped Workers Protection Act,” finally passed on one of the jam-packed last days of this year’s legislative session by a vote of 16-12, with only Republicans voting in favor.

[Referencing Raise the Wage AZ's ballot measure]

The measure needs 255,949 valid signatures to qualify for the ballot. The group submitted 354,278 signatures earlier this month, according to the Secretary of State’s Office. County recorders are currently working to validate the signatures submitted to determine whether the minimum wage increase will qualify for the ballot.

Now, Raise the Wage AZ is facing a challenge of its own. In its lawsuit, the Arizona Restaurant Association claims that the group submitted 28,000 less signatures than the 354,000 it claimed were submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office, was signed by non-Arizona voters and that petition circulators were not properly registered with the state.

So even if the ARA's claims are exactly correct, Raise the Wage AZ still collected far more signatures than they would need to get this measure on the ballot. It seems like the ARA is hoping they can keep the lawsuit tied up in court past the date of the voting so that their own industry backed ballot measure is the only one that is able to be voted on.

You don't need both. Raising the standard deduction will already remove the taxes on any tips (+ wages) made that are beneath the new deduction limit. It's just that everyone else who relies on wages will get the same benefit. I agree that minimum wage exceptions need to go.

This is an awful policy. Want to give a tax cut to working people? Raise the standard deduction by a few thousand and bump up the taxes on the highest bracket by a bit (or preferably a lot). That will give a cut to untipped hospitality workers as well.

I think she's just had better luck with her skin. Her hair looks like it's got it's share of grey, at least around her shoulders.

People act like jobs are a non-renewable resource that, once filled, that's all you get. This is a total misunderstanding of how consumer based economies work. Economic activity is demand driven. More consumers = more demand = more jobs. This is obvious if you think about it. It's why cities can exist rather than collapse once hitting a certain population because all the jobs are taken and no one can work anymore. It's why you find way more opportunities in cities rather than podunk rural villages.

Where the trouble comes in is that the population growth and job opportunities growth doesn't necessarily happen at exactly the same rate at exactly the same time. There can be pain in the transitional period between when the population growth happens, and when the new demand stimulates the new job opportunities. That isn't a reason to try and stifle the population growth. It's a political issue. Something like universal basic services (or UBI), or a universal jobs guarantee where the government puts people to work on infrastructure projects (social housing in particular seems like a good idea) or the like, like New Deal era USA did until they can find something more to their liking would do a lot to soothe that pain.

Ultimately, the new economic activity that's created from the growth is a good thing and ought to be embraced.

The personal data of 2.9 billion people, which includes full names, former and complete addresses going back 30 years, Social Security Numbers, and more, was stolen from National Public Data by a cybercriminal group that goes by the name USDoD. The complaint goes on to explain that the hackers then tried to sell this huge collection of personal data on the dark web to the tune of $3.5 million. It's worth noting that due to the sheer number of people affected, this data likely comes from both the U.S. and other countries around the world.

What makes the way National Public Data did this more concerning is that the firm scraped personally identifiable information (PII) of billions of people from non-public sources. As a result, many of the people who are now involved in the class action lawsuit did not provide their data to the company willingly.

What exactly makes this company so different from the hacking group that breached them? Why should they be treated differently?

Yeah, a lot of capitalist realism, the way we do things now is the best possible way we could be doing them bullshit. No vision whatsoever.

Not Shapiro? Netanyahu must be feeling pretty nervous this morning.

There was more to WW1 starting than Franz Ferdinand getting shot, too. They are sarcastically skewering people's simplistic understanding of the causes of those two conflicts.

This is basically like if back in 2015 after Trump insulted Ted Cruz's wife, Cruz became his VP pick and defended the insults, haha. Totally spineless, no limit to how far he will debase himself and his family for a position in the administration.

The weird thing works because it elicits them to defend themselves and, because their beliefs are in fact weird as hell, they do so in the most awkward ways. Turning off normies who might have some reactionary sympathy but are on the fence. Calling them slurs or just mean things isn't going to work in the same way. It's not like no one has ever called them cowards or assholes before.
