That's not even half as clever as you think it is.

Zess ,

So they did just as much as the protesters in this case.

Zess ,

So you think athletes' careers are worth more than the average person's life. That's pretty fucked up.

Zess ,

Where did the extra 5% come from?

Zess ,

The credit card company isn't losing money because it's already determined that giving people cash back won't outweigh the interest and fees etc. that they're really making money from. They use incentive programs to lure people in, hoping they won't be able to pay off their balance each month. Those who can are basically getting discounts from the cash back program.

Zess ,

Yeah I'm such a fool for paying off my card balance every month and taking advantage of cash back programs. I should be smarter and pay with cash so it costs me more.

Zess ,

It's probably considered stealing like if you were to use a cable splitter to take your neighbor's Internet. Except that's bullshit for a metered water connection so fuck whoever made that law or regulation.

Zess ,

So the pine tree is their swastika, got it, good to know.

Zess ,

Aren't you all busy electing your 20th prime minister for the month?

Conservative Plan Calls for Dozens of Executions if Trump Wins ( www.thedailybeast.com )

A conservative plan for Donald Trump’s potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost. An 887-page plan by Project 2025, led by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, says that if elected, Trump should make a concerted effort to execute the remaining 40...

Zess ,

Jesus is an extension of the Christian God so their god says it all.

Zess ,

I guess there's no point arguing for any logic in their religion when they just make it whatever they want lol. But strictly speaking, their god is also Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Kind of what the holy trinity is all about.

How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating?

My parents raised me to always say "yes sir" and "no ma'am", and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I'm not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like "no thank you, ma'am" based on their appearing AFAB, but on a future visit...

Zess ,

Dude is trying to be more considerate in his life and your response is basically "don't" lmao wild

Zess ,

But see, he wants it to be funny because he thinks making fun of homeless people is funny. It would instead be funny because of how fucking stupid Kramer is. That's really the big turn in recent comedy: laughing at bad characters doing shitty things (and usually getting their comeuppance) instead of laughing at shitty things happening to people.

Zess ,

Sad that it doesn't seem like anyone else can tell this is an obvious manipulation. Blanking out a piece of paper and putting different text on it is the oldest shit on the Internet. This one isn't even done very well, the fuck is that top margin.

JAZZ JACKRABBIT

Zess ,

The reason for that is because conservative values are shit and sane people don't like being covered in shit.

Zess ,

Yeah but if you tell the factory farms to lower the beef number they'll just cram the same number of cattle into a smaller area.

Zess ,

Did they have a permit to protest on a public road? Freedom of assembly comes with some perfectly rational stipulations.

Zess ,

Never heard anyone be flattered when called an essential employee. Mostly they just say "if I'm essential then pay me more."

How do we package food products sustainably in coming decades?

I imagine all plastics will be out of the question. I'm wondering about what ways food packaging might become regulated to upcycling in the domestic or even commercial space. Assuming energy remains a $ scarce $ commodity I don't imagine recycling glass will be super practical as a replacement. Do we move to more unpackaged...

Zess ,

Non-plastic alternatives would also cause much more food spoilage which would also lead to increased food prices. Most people don't understand just how incredible plastic is as food packaging.

Republican-passed bill removes role of Democratic governor if Senate vacancy occurs in Kentucky ( apnews.com )

Kentucky lawmakers gave final approval Thursday to a bill stripping the state’s Democratic governor of any role in picking someone to occupy a U.S. Senate seat if a vacancy occurred in the home state of 82-year-old Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell....

Zess ,

Uh, good? Governors shouldn't be appointing US Senators, even temporary ones. That's how Kelly Loeffler grifted her way into office.

Zess ,

The same meme but it's the UK and one of the many countries that was left fucked up after British imperialism.

Zess ,

Trying to get someone kicked off Facebook is one of the most pathetic things I've heard. Shows you how important Facebook is to him if he thinks it would be a big deal for someone else to lose access to it.

Zess ,

Fuck corporations but I don't believe this for a second. People are just making this shit up now. Some dude scribbles some prices on a piece of paper and this whole website loses its mind.

Zess ,

Holy shit dude fuck off

Word of warning to those with Prusa MK4 and Satin beds. There is a chance that the auto bed leveler will mess up and destroy your print surface. ( lemmy.world )

I've tried to report the issue to Prusa support but they keeps trying to diagnose it as user error. But at this point I'm at a loss and presume that it's either a firmware issue or a sensor issue on my unit....

Zess ,

What is going on with your flooring my guy

Zess ,

Yes, liberals are doing it for all the great reasons you mentioned. Trump is trying to do it because he's a huge sore loser crybaby. See the difference?

After Abortion Ban, Texas Teen Birth Rate Rises ( www.texasobserver.org )

A 15-year decline in Texas teen birth rates slid to a stop—and converted into a modest increase in 2022, the year after the state Legislature implemented what was the nation’s strongest ban on abortion, according to new report from the University of Houston’s Institute for Research on Women, Gender & Sexuality.

Zess ,

And because conservatives think they'll become obedient housewives instead of feminists.

DeSantis orders Florida National, State Guard members to Texas border ( www.orlandosentinel.com )

Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday he is sending National and Florida State Guard troops to Texas to help that state put up razor wire fences on the southern border, a move in apparent defiance of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on the contentious immigration issue....

Zess ,

Ah but this isn't the National Guard, it's the Florida State Guard. The first time it existed was because the actual National Guard was busy in WW2. Now lil Ronny resurrected it to use as his personal police force.

Zess ,

You didn't stutter but I'm not sure you understand cost of living differences.

Zess ,

I'm just saying a 2br apartment in NYC is a lot more than one in Nowhere, Kansas.

Zess ,

Why do people think they need any right or permission to do it? These are Republicans we're talking about here.

Zess ,

You can't buy alcohol with welfare benefits because the government puts limits on it. They could do the same with the money going to Israel but they don't because they want Israel to do what they're doing.

Zess ,

Even within their own party the conservatives will blame everything on the person who did the job before them. They're too fucking stupid to understand that when they accept they position they lied and cheated to get that they have to deal with the existing problems in that position.

U.S. Suspends Military Aid to Ukraine ( www.telesurenglish.net )

"We have issued the last package that we had withdrawn and for which we had funding," John Kirby said. White House National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said at a briefing Thursday that "the assistance we were providing has come to a halt."...

Zess ,

Border states are turning down billions in federal aid to try and make Democrats look bad. I guess they're convincing some dumber people.

Zess ,

Did he not know about FMLA?

Zess ,

I guess I interpreted "sick days" as unpaid. When I'm sick I don't waste PTO so I wouldn't call it that.
