California ‘billionaire tax’ makes ballot despite opposition from tech moguls
I don't care what the money goes to. As long as it takes one smidge of power away from them I am in favor.

Spicy. This reminds me of reddit before it got corporatized

I was gifted an unopened pack of 3.5" floppy disks. What should I do with them? (wrong answers only)
Label in sharpie as "Bitcoin password" and superglue to the sidewalk in a busy area. Watch people try to pick up.

Trump administration orders half of national forests open for logging
Fuck. This kind of shit is why I feel the need for revenge on these people. They're slashing forests and impoverishing the population. It's not enough for them to lose an election. they need to pay

There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them?
Just start saying 'they' for everyone that's work related. No matter on LGBT status.
Makes it easier to not fuck up.

Proposed instance policy update on Zionist accounts
Add a clause stating unambiguously that this does not discriminate against people with the Jewish ethnicity or against followers of Judaism. Just the specific policy of Zionism is affected.

Elon Musk sets his sights on Taylor Swift: "I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life"
Just imagine the impact if she took her accounts to pixelfed / mastadon. You'd get all the fans to follow her.
Hell, she could create her own server and be immediately one of the most popular in the network.

Where can I buy a Luigi Mangione shirt that will donate to his legal fund?
The only way to print this is from a sketchy site or Etsy. Mainstream sites won't print it because it's 'glorifying violence'. Print it for cheap and then send $10 to his givesendgo

After years of being told I was part Cherokee, someone was mad that I wasn't.
The only way I would touch these DNA tests is if I was somehow assured that it was completely anonymous and would be shredded as soon as I've seen it.
They literally turn around and sell your data, grouped along with others, to whoever wants it, and then get hacked and lose personal info. Hot mess.

After Supreme Court immunity ruling, Biden draws sharp contrast with Trump on obeying rule of law
This speech was a capitulation by Biden. He basically said 'no, executive isn't going to check the judiciary.' His response is 'people need to vote's? What? Where's the vision or game plan to overturning this?
It's so fucking simple to grasp the shortfalls here.

Workers fired over Charlie Kirk comments learn the limits of free speech on the job
These are legitimately funny. Really picking the best ones to highlight. "Ashley Creekbaum allegedly commented on Instagram: “I think he should be forced to carry that bullet in his body. That bullet has a right to be there because it’s a gift from god.”"

Performance Review time
Contest the performance review in writing. You can do it nicely, and factually. Put out a timeline with as factual of a tone that you can. But I would put it on the record and print the email and take it home with you and put in a safe place. Something like this can be used to justify a firing if not corrected.
And yes I know what at will employment is, but putting on record also helps avoid this being used as a pretext for some other illegal firing (e.g., age, gender, race, union activity).
Or someone talking shit about you to other companies - you can sue over that, but again, it helps if you have a record that supports it.
Overall, though: yeah, fuck that company. Go somewhere that you're valued and start finding a good reference at the place you're at. Coworkers that you worked on projects with can work if you don't have someone you reported to that's honest.

How do I tell my neighbors that they need to stay off my property and not let their kids trespass. Joke answers only.
You're looking at this wrong way.
Buy a gumball machine.
Put on fence.
Fill machine with enough feed for the day.
Charge other people to feed your ducks
