“We’ve Changed the Game”: Teamsters Win Historic UPS Contract
Highest paid in the country cause they have a union. And they have an extra vacation day now. But "unions don't work"

What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?

This is my #1 also. So many people "just asking questions"
I also hate the circlejerk of people going "I cannot possibly comprehend being gay/trans/disabled/whatever but I let them do what they want!" They're not aliens, you can listen to them explain what they are going through and have empathy. It's not very complicated.

I agree 100%
If you want to tolerate Nazis, bigots, fascists, etc under the guise of "free speech" then this is not the instance for you. And I hope we maintain that moving forward. Y'all can have your own hellhole somewhere else

Police called on boy with autism and mum using toilet in anti-trans incident
Renovate your business and put a bunch of single person bathrooms if you care so much about anyone who may or may not be trans being in your presence in the bathroom. Otherwise shut the fuck up and let people pee in peace

Standing my ground on going back to the office
My last job tried to do this. They didn't even have enough desks for everyone. My entire team said "no thanks" and several people quit and they backtracked real fast. Now their stock is worth $2 when it used to be $40 a year ago lol
Just look for other jobs if you are standing your ground. Sometimes it takes a few losing a few people for them to realize they fucked up

Entire mod teams of r/interestingasfuck, r/TIHI and r/mildlyinteresting KICKED out. Some even locked out of their accounts

How do you define "working"? I think it was pretty obvious from the beginning they were never going to change their minds
However they accomplished
The IPO is fucked regardless of what reddit does next, they are in a lose lose situation. Anyone who thought they would turn around and change their mind is delusional and doesn't understand how maniacal CEOs work
What a lot of people don't seem to understand is that there is no turning back. There is no reason for them to keep ANY mod that participated in the blackout or said anything negative about the API decision even if they reopen and try to appease them now. Might as well mutually self destruct

On The State of /r/PICS: Profanity, Offensive Content, and An Open Letter : r/pics
I don't get why people are clinging to the idea that reddit will suddenly give a fuck. They are unprofessional, rude, liars. It doesn't matter if they bend down and kiss your ass with a million false promises. They won't follow through.
Look at what happened to interestingasfuck, they are approaching a week with no mods and completely locked down. You can easily make reddit implode themselves with their hubris of mods being easily replaceable. They have shown that is not true. Y'all will be removed anyway before the IPO, they won't risk this again. So hurry up and let them implode before they have time to figure out an alternative before the IPO

Woman Sues Anti-Abortion 'Pregnancy Center' After Her Ectopic Pregnancy Ruptured
Good. These places are just people practicing medicine without a license and an agenda they will lie for. Should be illegal everywhere.

Don't feel bad for the Moderators of Reddit
For me it was mostly about accessibility, because reddit essentially told disabled people they aren't welcome. So ... bye
But also the attempt at monetizing FUCKING EVERYTHING is pissing me off. I miss the internet where most things were free. I am not going to pay a subscription to read an aggregation of links. If I have to pay I am going to choose something more fun over social media.

Humans deserve rights. One of those rights is NOT to use other people's bodies though.
If I'm dying of kidney failure I don't get to force you to donate your kidneys to me. Quite the opposite, thanks to bodily autonomy. That thing you hate when it applies to other people.

TIL the DMC DeLorean, among many strange production choices, was made of stainless steel
My boyfriend is obsessed with back to the future and we have seen 4/7 screen used deloreans.
Peterson museum in LA has a restored one on display, they also have a gold delorean and a few of the new concept designs.
We got to see the one in Universal Orlando that was just chilling out in the middle of the sidewalk for a long time, but that one has disappeared since COVID. We didn't even know this was a screen used one, we figured it was a replica cause people were walking up and touching it and stuff. Wild. Probably why it's gone now, too many people fucked with it and it has to be restored. It sat out in the Florida humid ass weather for years though and no rust.
Unfortunately 2 are in Japan in private collections, but I don't think anyone knows who owns them. 2 we saw were in a private collection, but the owners gave us a tour and we even got to sit in one of them (the other is the one they destroyed with the train). And the fiberglass one from 2 was destroyed so we will never see it :(

r/TIHI has been banned for being unmoderated.
I think it's funny that in response to this people are STILL insisting that it's easy to find new mods. TIHI, interestingasfuck, and shittylifeprotips have been closed for over a week because they have no mods. Before TIHI mods got banned, they offered multiple users complaining the option to take over moderating the sub and they said no.
How does any of this point to it being easy to replace mods? Delusional

Plus they totally fucked up the messaging with the original blackout. It should have always included information about accessibility being taken away.

The type of people who ban masks are also the type of people that think you should be forced to work when sick 🤮
