My guess: This guy, and all his rich friends have a ton of money invested in commercial real estate. He's putting his own interest before the interest of his company. The more people work from home the better for Zoom, but the worse off he and his rich friends are.

There is a law in the US that says trucks must meet a certain Miles per gallon fuel economy. But there is a loop hole that says trucks over a certain size are not included in that law. So as long as the trucks are ridiculously big they don't need to worry about their fuel economy.

Edit: it's the CAFE law.

Oh that's that new "x"?! Tell me about it?!

Be excited people are joining your hobbies. Without people hobbies die.

Fuck karma and check marks. I want anonymity back. I want the old internet. This "social networking" shit is lame. Lemmy doesn't need Twitter or reddit level of success. Look where that has got them.

It's important because it shows exactly what they stand for in legal writing. Yeah it won't pass but it's still good to note.

Random internet guy called it. Pack it up boys we're going home.

This is just straight up false. The oldest dog breed and the one most generically related to the wolf is the fucking shih tzu. Humans have been breeding dogs for every purpose we could need since before recorded history.

But inbreeding is morally disgusting.

Because car companies send lobbyists to Congress and pay to influence bills.

My 11 year old nephew rocks this one at the pool

This is entirely dependent on who you are. My wife just had the highest court of the land tell her she has no medical privacy. Sure, right now it 's on state by state basis, but that can change. Every member of the supreme Court said under oath they wouldn't overturn precident and yet here we are. I have no worries that anything bad will happen to me due to legislation, but I am a white cis male. My wife isn't. My best friend is a POC. My inner circle is filled with nonbinary and poc. All these people are actually being affected by the "culture wars" in very real and tangible ways. Feeling like it's all okay right now must be coming from a very privileged and secluded position. Having held multiple people that I love dearly while they cry because their rights were stripped changes your perspective on a lot of things.

Skibidi - from a YouTube series made in source engine. Means "bad"

Sigma - alpha as in alpha male. Beta as in beta male. Sigma is a 3rd which means you follow neither alpha or beta but go your own way.

Rizz- short for "charisma"

Mewing - an act of contracting tongue /neck muscles to make your under chin area contract changing the shape of your jawline.

Gyatt - "god damn" - a big old butt.

Bet - "wanna bet?" Aka "yes"

Bussin - "busting" really good

Ohio - bad or mid "from Ohio"

Let him cook - let him do his thing. He's got this.

Baddie - hottie. Sexy.

It's the _ for me - pointing out the specific thing you enjoyed.

Hahahha people with different interests than me suck

Don't do this.

50% of what Thanos considers life since it was powered by his will. Since he seemed to imply that nature (plants and animals) where not part of this it's safe to assume it was sapient life only.

Americans have been shown again and again that hard work doesn't mean more pay. Add to that housing costs have risen to a level that has become unattainable to many even if you were to double their wages. You find yourself questioning why work beyond the minimum if all that stress and time loss means you are not getting any further in life than had you just done the bare minimum.

What's missing from this report is that Peter thiel bought the parent company that owns pro v and v. The article mentions musk but nothing about this.

This seems disingenuous. You don't have to date anyone you don't want, and you don't have to be friends with anyone you don't want. Why did you decide that was the place to draw the line? You do not have to date Bob from accounting for any reason. But you also don't deserve a job along side Bob if you go on talking about how he doesn't deserve a place in our society.

Ones rights doesn't supercede anothers. You can be a Nazi in your own home, but once you start sprewing hate publicly you are infrining the freedoms of others. This is already the law. But people want to change this law, and are using transphobia to do so, in much the same way they use fear of pedophiles to errode your rights.(trans people harm kids, we must ban trans people to protect kids, is the essential arguement.)In essence You claim that if we stop trans-hate speech, we are losing our rights, but in reality those who are sprewing trans-hate are actively trying to remove your rights and just using transphobia as a means to an end.

Hate speech is always about removing freedoms and rights. Either through violence or legislation. If you want to talk about lines drawn: should we stop Bob from screaming "gas the Jews" in his own home? What about outside a synagogue? What about on the Senate floor? Which of these seems more of an infringement of a Jewish person's rights?

Who's gonna stop it?

That's left or socialist. Left doesn't equal liberal.

Gotta remember: when regressives say that it worked well in the past, they mean it worked well for a very specific class of people. Mainly, upper and middle class white men. That is on purpose. They obviously know school was not good for the POC, minorities , the poor, and probably women 200 years ago.

Unless they are idiots.
