Needs to be nationwide.

See, this shit is why insisting on “GNU/Linux” is actually important. It’s the copyleft and the end user freedom it provides that matters, not the kernel.

Sabotaged Linuxes like Android just don’t cut it and shouldn’t count.

More and more I’m thinking we really need a wealth tax. Not because the government needs the money - the government literally makes their own money, they can create as much of it as they want - but because I think a cap on wealth is necessary for social cohesion.

This is literally what the inheritance tax is for, so there’s precedent.

Of course, they piss and moan about that too, but I don’t give a shit and neither should anyone else.

Ultimately lobbying is just (parts of) the population attempting to influence what happens in politics, which is what is supposed to happen in a democracy.

No it fucking isn’t! Lobbying is people getting paid to attempt to influence what happens in politics, which is what makes it corrupt.

I wonder if they were picked at random, or if Portuguese Geese is dissing the artists of the other comics in the group.

If that’s not edited, I really want to know what the original context was.

Doug Ford’s government had argued bike lanes increase congestion and response times for emergency vehicles in Toronto.

Obligatory reminder that this is a blatant lie. If anything, bike lanes tend to reduce response times by keeping more space clear of cars for the emergency vehicles to use.

I made no effort to hide my public loathing of the agency, what it stands for, and the administration that runs it. And they offered me the job anyway.

That is far better than I expected, not worse. Hopefully there are enough of such folks that we can get some internal resistance going.

Michigan and Texas?

(The issue here is not that I don’t know what state Memphis is in, but that I didn’t pay attention to the city name at all.)

Walz should order the state troopers to defend the protestors, not oppose them, and fire every single one that doesn’t comply.

The state will have to file if the attorneys want to be re elected.

Never mind reelection; they need to file if they want to continue to exist in society at all. That point needs to be impressed upon them, emphatically.

Every state and local official who fails to prosecute is also guilty and should be dealt with accordingly.

They need to be scared not to do their job.

It’s a sad commentary on society that 1 million brown kids being persecuted isn’t impactful enough.

You should probably demand a public retraction from your Republican members of Congress, too. They won’t do it, but at least it’ll annoy their staffers.

I just DDG’d a meme reply to the parent commenter typoing “soviet onion,” LOL

Those are called “laws.” We need to create appropriate “laws” and force corporations to follow them.

Weird concept, I know…

Sprinklers are the exception that proves the rule, though. I think the game’s attitude towards automation is exemplified by the auto-petter, which is mostly locked behind following the “evil” storyline path.

I mean yeah, there are a few things you can get to chip around the edges in the extreme late game, but even when you unlock hoppers you still have to remove processed items from machines manually.

If Stardew really cared about automation, it would have some automated way of delivering harvested and processed goods to the shipping bin. (Conveyer belts, hiring NPC farmhands, junimo porters – something!)

Yeah, thinking about this just at face value is missing the point. The real issue is that “CDC no longer recommending flu shot” is equivalent to “insurance no longer required to cover the cost of flu shot.”

It’s not actually going from a mandate to a choice like they’re trying to gaslight the public into thinking; it’s going from a choice to a de-facto prohibition.
