Lemmy’s developers are actual tankies. The original and a still large instance is Lemmy.ml. The ML meaning Marxist Leninist. The mods there are ridiculously ban heavy around questioning anything to do with BRICS nations. They even preemptively ban accounts who post outside of their instance if you say truthful things like NATO is a defensive alliance, Russia is the aggressor in Ukraine, or China is being imperialist themselves in SE Asia.
Correct. I think that’s the part many keep missing. SCOTUS just gave themselves the authority to determine if a Presidential act is immune from oversight. Which will no doubt be abused to help Republicans do whatever they want. But hamstring anything a Dem would attempt to accomplish.
Because they’re not. Plus this is an official NASA mission and Boeing has had to meet NASA specs the whole time. Test flights are just that too. The whole point of this exercise is to find any and all possible issues before giving the craft it’s final approval for standard missions.
China wants it to continue. They’re happy to watch NATO and others empty out their supplies for Ukraine. Potentially less supplies to later support Taiwan.
I want a script that adds “Crisis Actor” before her name to every article. With a link sharing her Explore Talent profile that was taken down after people caught onto Clandice, Tami, Bobo the clown, and a couple others potentially being hired by the GOP.
I just noticed other articles about California and Michigan. They also used Newsome and Whitmer as the image. But then another for Georgia did not use Kemp as the image.
What a weird choice to have an image of Pritzker for this article.
Some of both.
Great talk I skipped to an important part of which will likely explain better than I am. Whole video is worth watching if you have time. https://youtu.be/deYUUfak08Y?feature=shared&t=7m54s
But in essence, leadership will say they care about DEI. But then doesn’t set any goals or timeframes. Then what I’ve seen a few times is the responsibility for the initiatives get pushed to lower level people who have no authority to bring about much of any change. Leadership gets to pat themselves on the back while doing nothing.
CNN is being turned into another Fox News from the inside. They sucked before 2022. Wouldn’t trust them at all now. https://www.vox.com/2022/8/26/23322761/cnn-john-malone-david-zaslav-chris-licht-brian-stelter-fox-peter-kafka-column
Givesomefuck’s only reason for posting is to complain. They have no viable solutions when asked. They want the world to be their idea of perfect tomorrow. Good incremental change just won’t cut it. They’re the exact kind of impotent leftist meme’d on that never accomplishes anything they claim to support. If they’d get off the internet and do something the world could change some. But that requires effort and likely compromise.
I know this because I was that same person at a time. I can see my younger self in their language and angst. Then I started actually volunteering to help. Mainly homeless organizations and people with disabilities. And it changed my life. I now focus on what I can do next vs whining about why the world hasn’t changed for me. On making direct impact in people’s lives vs hoping someone else comes along with a magic wand. While we’re all whining online, the evil we’re concerned about isn’t. All it takes for evil to succeed is good to sit by and watch.
So I urge anyone with me this far to consider 1) Not giving attention to accounts like givesomefucks. Better to ignore them than get into a bad faith argument because they’re only here to complain. 2) Getting involved locally in something. It’s not as hard as you think and the impact is noticed quickly. Plus it’s a much better use of your time than doom scrolling and whining.
Most of the programs exist to avoid lawsuits. They don’t actually help much of anything. And before people jump down my throat I’m not against the idea of what DEI claims to fix in corporate America. I just know from the level I’ve worked at multiple companies that leadership doesn’t really care. DEI is another box to check for the shareholders to feel good about themselves.
So tl;dr DEI is mostly pointless. Leadership allows people to talk about DEI because talk is cheap and ineffectual. But they shit their pants of we try to unionize and force change. So stop focusing on DEI and start focusing on unionization.
The kleptocracy will survive past Pooty. It’s what put him in charge after all.
Linkerbaan is going to be so hyped about his boy Cornel (who is totally not controlled opposition /s) getting a shout-out.
It is against any authoritarians. The only thing they understand is getting their ass kicked. Everything else is a game in which they intend to always come out on top by any means.
What a cluster fuck. God damn boomer MBAs.
This is changing things. Vertical integration of a key supplier isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
And this is sort of like if GM woke up one day and decided to buy back Allison Transmission. Sprit was part of Boeing. It got sold off by bad leadership. Sprit never landed many other contracts past Boeing. Boeing is now buying them back to reintegrate a piece of old Boeing leadership never should have sold.
How do you so consistently have the dumbest takes?
Lots of people still have old caveman brain firmware that seeks tribal inclusion. The Right preys on those fears and easily wins.
