The right is the best advertisement leftism ever had

I originally heard this as:
If you're a Republican at 20, then you're heartless. If you're a Democrat at 40, then you're broke.

Not allowed to work from home
As a middle manager in a corporate hellscape, one of my few joys in life is setting logic traps for HR and making them choose between admitting company policy is bullshit or directly instructing me to violate labor laws.

Would you drive an extra 20 minutes (10 miles) to get the blizzard on the right?
No but I also wouldn't have bothered going to the closer DQ.

Think of the children!
Well yeah but you have those long wait times to deal with right?
Here in America, I only had to wait 4 weeks for a video conference (in-person would have been 6 weeks) with my primary care physician so she could recommend me to a specialist that doesn't have any openings until mid-August. Thank goodness I live in the land of the free where I only have to wait 3 months to see a doctor who has about a 20% chance to cancel on me last minute due to a "scheduling issues" and leave me hanging for another 4-8 weeks.
AND I get to pay for some of it out of pocket despite paying monthly for better than average medical insurance!

Satanists to volunteer in Florida schools in protest at DeSantis religious bill
Reply in thread
I think that was meant to be tongue in cheek. The article also says:
There are, however, no plans to introduce studies of the dark arts or satanic rituals to any classroom. The Satanic Temple champions Satan not as a literal, omnipresent demon, but as a symbol of rebellion and resistance to authoritarianism. It says its strategy here is to highlight flagrant violations of the constitutionally protected separation of church and state.

Grimes Publicly Begs Musk To Stop Ignoring Their Child's 'Medical Crisis'
The exes have three children together, a 4-year-old son X Æ A-Xii; a 2-year-old son Techno Mechanicus; as well a 3-year-old daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl.
This alone should be enough of a reason for CPS to step in.

Advertising Lemmy on r/place
The reason they are bringing back r/place right now is obvious. They are luring people like OP back in so they can say, "Look at how high our engagement is even after the API changes" then push forward their IPO. This post is exactly what Spez wants.

Salaries of Employees from "non-profit charity" I was going to donate too

They pay cooks less than $20/hour in a city with an average rent of $3000/month. I've got no problem passing judgement.

Pretty sound reasoning here.
A lot of people in that thread have never seen Looney Tunes. If they did, they would have learned 3 vital facts about physics:
A finger in the barrel of a gun will stop a bullet and cause the gun to explode.
Gravity cannot effect you until you acknowledge that you are not on solid ground.
Being crushed by a heavy object falling from a great height (think and anvil or piano) will cause to to collapse like an accordion until you are re-inflated.
These are basic scientific facts everyone should know in the modern age.

As a person, anyone listening to Joe Rogan is a red flag. I personally prefer to pretend his career ended with News Radio.

Walz Calls on Dems to ‘Bully the S**t’ Out of Trump or Risk Becoming ‘Roadkill’
Reply in thread
But bullies somehow changed the narrative to where fighting back was wrong.
I grew up in the age of zero tolerance policies in school which meant you would get suspended for fighting back no matter the circumstances. I blame those policies for the shift.

others will become a customer if the price is right.
This is me 100%. I was a huge pirate back in the day. As streaming services grew, I slowly stopped pirating. Netflix and Hulu had enough content to keep me entertained for $20/month. Now there's too many streamers, commercial free prices are rising close to $20 each, and each service only has a handful of things I want to watch. The open water is looking more tempting every day.
