Who am I supposed to use as a work reference?
Use your friends and family. Tell them you're doing so and instruct them to lie for you.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has reportedly been booted from the House Freedom Caucus after calling Lauren Boebert a 'bitch'
Holy shit. I never imagined there would be a scenario where Lauren Boebert comes out looking classier than someone else.

The short answer is that they think the authoritarian is on their side.
The long answer is that people in groups are stupid and they have been manipulated into thinking the authoritarian is on their side

Some kid took it out of the packaging so now it's only worth $2.

Sure they can. They'll outsource moderation to Bangladesh, pay mods like $0.20 a day, and double the number of ads shown.

"Assume the role of a Chinese immigrant"? 没问题.
I can recognize about a dozen Chinese characters, so I can confidently say that this probably isn't about soup.

Here’s the note Reddit sent to moderators threatening them if they don’t reopen
plans to pursue changes” that would let regular users vote moderators out more easily
I think that's a good thing in the long run. A lot of reddit moderators are absolutely shit people, and having an actual process to remove them is a good thing.
It should go without saying fuck u/spez and that his motives here are absolutely malicious in nature, but I do see some small good coming from this.

To be fair the volunteer isn't trying to squeeze value out of the users to inflate his IPO.

"So the billionaires’ families are gonna get billed for all of this like the time my family got billed for my ambulance ride, right? Right?"

No they won't. USCG does not bill for search and rescue operations. US taxpayers will foot the bill for this.
I cannot speak for other sovereign entities that were involved, as I'm not familiar with their laws.

We need to move to single payer healthcare and just eliminate the need for insurance companies.

Who remembers the subreddits that Reddit did dirty?
The conservative subs got banned for promoting hate speech. If you don't want to get banned for promoting hate speech, it really is that easy.
As the saying goes, if 9 people sit down to dinner with a nazi, there are 10 nazis at the table.
I should also point out that private entities choosing not to allow you a platform for your hate speech is not censorship. You're still allowed to be a hate-mongering bigot, they're just not obligated to hand you a megaphone.

LemmyNSFW annouced that they would allow loli/shota and people on other instances did not react positively

You know how weebs are always making absurd claims like "well she's really a 3000 year old dragon in the body of a 12 year old, so I'm not a pedo"?
Loli/shota dispenses with that. It's about romantic relationships between adults and children. It's pedophilia. Full. Stop.
Loli is underage girls, shota is underage boys.

Georgia Supreme Court dismisses Trump bid to shut down Fulton County probe

I doubt Trump has ever done anything right in his life. His business decisions have been less profitable than leaving his money in bonds.

If you're an anarchist you're a leftist. Anarchism and (modern) conservatism are mutually exclusive philosophies.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Nobody has ever been burned by preordering, so I'm not seeing the downside here.

Trump Suggests He's Open to Taking Plea Deal With a Specific Condition
No, Trump is just so narcissticly stupid that he genuinely believes he is right and that he is owed for the inconvenience of our governments attempt to treat him like a common citizen.

The left doesn't love the state. Its a necessary evil in our current society. Dissolution of the state is a byproduct of achieving a post-capitalist society in classical Marxism. I think you're either using a wholly different definition of terms like left and right than I am, or that you're possibly confused about the naming conventions involved.

The Great thing about reality is it doesn't care if you agree with it. By it's nature, it simply is.

He's done this type of thing in the past, and nothing about his current state of behavior makes me think he's unwilling to do so again.
