Bernie Sanders urges left to back Biden to stop ‘very dangerous’ Trump

Everywhere I go I'm usually the oldest person in the room, and I've been hearing that line since long before I'd ever heard of Donald Trump.

Always, the left has to support whatever bland middle-of-the-road candidate the Democrats put forward, candidates who seem idea-free and utterly without passion, because the Republicans have a terrifying candidate. Gotta take boring over terrifying.

And Bernie's right. I ain't arguing.

Sure is a bucket of swill we're always forced to drink from, though.

'No-Quit' Notice In McDonald's Forbidding Employees From Quitting Sparks Angry Debate About 'At Will' Employment

It's kinda funny, and I laughed.

It's also shit journalism — the article doesn't say what McDonald's posted this sign or enacted this policy. Maybe some McDonald's did, but when there's no attempt at sniffing out a who - what - where - why - when, it's piffle.

Any schmoe anywhere could've made the sign using Microsoft Paint.

The article is a laugh, but it isn't news until someone says where it happened..

Lemmy enjoys growth as developers pivot from Reddit amid API charging controversy

Reply in thread

That's the punchline that makes me chuckle when I read how "little impact" the protests and migration have had.

Here's a little secret: Reddit mods can't know for sure which accounts are bots. They can suspect, but they're no easy, reliable proof. Reddit admins, though, know exactly which accounts are bots — they just prefer keeping that info to themselves.

For me, that triggers a great big "Hmmmm".

One more nail in the reddit coffin

Wow, you are the correct person to be a moderater, and I hope your patience holds out. OP has provided an incomprehensible picture with a nonsensical headline, and your response is so very polite. Me, I'd just roll my eyes and scroll away.

I'm from Reddit, so I have to add: I'm serious, not joking.

What utter bullshit. The Catholic Church is one of the richest entities on this planet, but we'll let them pretend their San Francisco branch is a separate entity, so the church can get away with centuries of kiddie-diddling and continue kiddie-diddling until the Rapture.

Republicans beware, Donald Trump will turn his Big Lie against the GOP

Of course he will.

He's never made a mistake in his life, never broken a law, never lost money unless someone else was a crook, never been outsmarted because he's the smartest human ever, never touched a woman who didn't want his touch because he's the sexiest man alive, and never lost an election unless it was stolen from him.

How could he lose an election, when no-one anywhere would vote against him, because he's Donald Trump.

I'm already dreading Thanksgiving

Breaking away is sometimes the right thing to do, and from what you're saying, OP, maybe you should break away before Turkey Day, not after.

I broke away for 13 years, enjoyed things better without them than with them. By the time I came back, some of the family had mellowed, others had died, and we actually have decent holidays now. It gets better.
