Yeah and if you have alcohol you wait eleven minutes for the one employee who is supposed to be helping, to actually notice there are people waiting. Then she realizes five people need help. Gets the cigarettes for the one guy but it takes three trips to the cage and back to get the right ones. Helps the lady with the coupons they grabbed the wrong items for. Helps the really old person who can’t even stand scan and bag all of their groceries (why were they in self checkout anyway?).

Finally comes over to my white-bearded ass after 20 minutes and they could just hit the “customer is over 40” button, but they want to see my id. Yeah I’ll just wait in line for the one cashier.

Spring is very unpredictable in many places. Could be freezing, could be hot. Could have terrible damaging storms. Maybe all three in the same day. I’d go with October 2nd.

The majority of people in the US don’t have access to busing.

Additionally, Lemmy would be a hostile place if you happened to be a conservative-leaning Linux user. I know quite a few, but they aren’t on Reddit either.

Not only is it AI, but also floating away in disgust is actually a reaction.

I’d buy a Tesla honestly but I can’t afford one. I can’t afford a gas shitbox either. When my car gets too expensive to repair I’m going to be so fucked.

I don’t like fish, but ill eat fish if I’m hungry. I don’t like squirrel or cat, but I’ll poach and eat anything if there aren’t other options. I don’t like your uncle, but if I’m starving…

It would be cool if it was an option everywhere. I’ve cycle commuted. Hell I commuted on a skateboard for two years. But it is not an option where I live now. We can’t let mandates get ahead of real world options. Let’s make it an option everywhere. The next Dem president will champion this, right?

Right?

Edit just realized this was posted to the europe community. I’ve lived there a couple of years. You’re light years ahead of anywhere else in the world on this stuff. Good job! But don’t forget the rest of the world needs at minimum a few decades of massive infrastructure investment to come anywhere near what you already have. If we punish people for not riding bikes where riding a bike is impossible, we only lose support.

Do you have a source for that? The Wikipedia page about it doesn’t mention it and mentions other sources, which I guess could be tied to the heritage foundation but even clicking through links I couldn’t find any connection.

I’m not saying there isn’t plenty to criticize about the concept and where they place particular individuals. That’s just the first time I’ve heard this claim, and I’m curious about it.

On the political compass subreddit they called them watermelons - green on the outside (libertarian left), red on the inside (authoritarian left). I realize they’re not really left at all, but the authoritarianism is baked in.

Naw, separate machines. One for VR, opening my office Access files, the Adobe suite. And another one with Linux I use for most everything. Dual booting is sometimes problematic.

We’re nowhere near to it. It has to be a grassroots effort from convincing all of our population it is necessary. Because neither the DNC or the RNC really want it. More parties means they lose power. The DNC pretends to not be opposed, but they undermine third parties all the time. We have to fix first past the post, and neither party is going to help with that.

The thin blue line flag is a gang sign. Also, police are necessary and (a lot of the time) earn their pay. We could go a long way in training them better and holding them to higher standards though. Let’s start with not treating ID like crack, not escalating, using unnecessary violence, and actually respecting citizens’ constitutional rights etc. Let’s start with the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th but not forget all of the rest of them. Authoritarianism is cancer regardless of who is in power.
