Not sarcasm!

What a goddamn comment. Informative, thoughtful, and an amazing rebuttal without being condescending. Is best of a thing on here?

Reich wing.

Now I know what my is gonna look like once fully grown!

Idk if that’s out of control or not anymore, what’s a dollar worth? But I’ve avoided goodwill for Habitat for a while because there were various stories over the years about shady things. Now, they’re big and basically all franchises so some of this was always gonna happen; lawsuits w/ racist/sexist/otherwise discriminatory managers will eventually happen once a company gets large enough, and franchises have a lot of independent control which leads to a lot of variance, good and bad, at different locations.

But they’re also pretty shit at the corporate level: https://www.cracked.com/article_33357_15-impressively-evil-things-goodwill-has-done.html

So overall, on the astronomically low bar of regular evil corporate behavior, they’re middling, but you should probably donate/shop elsewhere if you want to do the most good.

Milquetoast but your point stands.

This is a very reasoned argument, I don’t understand the downvotes. Nothing said here is inflammatory or incorrect, it’s a pretty valid take on how Lemmy reacts to things they don’t want to be true, including legitimate criticisms of Harris. A lot of people seem to think anyone saying “but wait” means they’re for Trump, even if that’s not the case. I mean I get it, he was a disaster and it’s crazy the collective amnesia that half this country seems to have about it, Harris will assuredly be better than him, including with Gaza. It still doesn’t mean we should just unilaterally ban asking the Dems to do more, even if there are some that attempt to argue such things in bad faith.

I will say “vote hard enough” could work if we actually did it, but only way may be to have auto registration at 18. But I agree, Dems need to stop courting the ever decreasing “undecideds” and actually represent something left of center-right.

Voting is still valid though, a lot of us on the left seem to disdain voting as useless and only want to go with rhetoric, but it’s literally how MLKJ got the most done that was enforceable. Civil disobedience to get attention, million man marches to register the vote and getting people to the polls no matter what was in the way. If we ever actually did that maybe we could get some more lefty candidates on bigger stages.

I think there are plenty of instances that aren’t, and those don’t include the hyper tanky/toxic ones. The big instances have tended to skew neoliberal though.

This sacrifice affirms that no one would go through with this if it was a “choice” or “for attention” or whatever the shitbags are saying these days. Imagine giving up the strength of a woman’s immune system and the ease of childbirth for the horrid experience of a man with a cold!

My cat is always playful and energetic lol but he’s a wild one at 1 1/2. Got a 2nd one and she’s helping calm him down thankfully, she’s just also the sweetest damn thing, purrs at the drop of a hat

I just watched this show for the first time while tripping with some friends… It’s so fuckin good we finished the entire season lol

As a ps5 player, it’s worth it. If you liked the last one, you’ll like this one.

?

Well, you can also cover it in gas/lighter fluid to help things out I suppose

Folding it first like this implies a level of reverence/respect to it that it doesn’t deserve. For instance, folding the American flag into a triangle, stars out, then burning it, is how we were taught to respectfully dispose of a damaged flag in Boy Scouts.

I recommend wadding it up, covering it in some bodily fluids, and then burning it while playing Northern victory songs to really treat it properly.

Nope, 69 year old with same name, look at other comments in here for the source

Purge continues for the alt right wacko that bought it.

Lol came in here to say the same thing as everyone else. Wtf are they thinking

The problem with this argument is it only works for people who show up to vote, and if the Dems don’t get people, particularly young people, inspired enough to do so, then they’ll lose. Fear only works as a motivator for so long, at some point, you need to provide a carrot and not just the stick.

See what you can get by putting some subtle feelers out. Talk to a recruiter or two. Best time to search for a job is while you have one, but you don’t have to commit to it full time unless shit really hits the fan. You’re more likely to get written up than fired initially anyway if he’s not the owner, erratic or not he has to answer for that.

Continue working towards whatever certifications you want in the meantime, especially if the job pays/reimburses you for it.
