I don’t know if you like podcasts, but Know Your Enemy is a take on the right from two leftists who used to be conservatives who approach it from an intellectual POV.
I linked to the political magazine that helps support them since it gives some rundowns of their topics that might give you some of the sources that can be read instead of listening to their podcast, if you’d prefer.
And cops are good! They don’t trust the government at all, but somehow the enforcement arm of the government can do nothing wrong!
When I installed fdroid from their website a month or two back it was like 2 or 3 clicks. Then whenever I want to install anything from there it’s an extra click or two over what it would be from Play.
I’ve seen people click through way more complicated processes than this without even knowing they did it. Modern computing has taught people to just keep hitting whatever the approval text is (yes windows, I really do want to copy all of these god damn files. Yes, really, I still do! Yep, again, ALL of them!)
Sure, if you read it, but what about if you just go on feels like they do with their holy book?
I hear people on those programs eat nothing but steak and lobster! Why’s he turning down the good life!
As long as you’re not talking about throwing Molotov Cocktails at their CEOs, I don’t really see how that would matter
I would bet that if you investigate the author of the bill enough, you’ll find that they have some kind of relationship (friends, relative, money changing hands, etc…) with someone in the list who has a vested interest in it being watered down!
This scene for me (you can skip to 1:20 or so) showed that it’s at least feasible, but it definitely takes a lot more than glasses, which is where many of the non Christopher Reeve’s portrayals fall flat. They always play Superman in both roles but it’s just Superman with glasses.
Christopher Reeve on the other hand showed that Clark Kent is the perfect disguise when portrayed correctly and it’s at least understandable that especially the people that know Clark would never suspect for a second that he’s Superman because they’ve never seen anything but a quiet, weak and easily frightened man who is nothing like Superman at all! Superman is also way taller!
Watching him stand up straight and put some confidence on his face, voice and transform into Superman over the course of 10ish seconds was one thing, but watching him deflate back into Kent in under 2 seconds was another altogether! That shift was jarring for me and showed just how good the disguise was and how good of an actor Reeve was.
In a right to work stste
Some cities and counties have additional protections, but at the state level, the only one that’s not at-will is Montana and the entire population of that state would fit in a single decently sized city. So, I think that’s a distinction that wasn’t really necessary, but you do you.
To add to what herrcaptain said, her saying that being a Republican in Hollywood was like being a Jew during the Holocost seemed to have been the breaking point.
Before that she also made a lot of tweets making fun of pronouns and such too, but nothing overtly hateful, so she had managed to skate by until she upped the stupidity.
Do you just throw your garbage on the ground so janitors have something to do too? Pat yourself on the back while doing it?
I’m a simple man, I see a Robert Evans podcast mentioned and I upvote.
Seriously though, it’s good to see people thinking long term. We criticize the corps for only thinking of the next quarter (at the furthest) and then also criticize a guy with a well thought out long term plan?!
I know Repubs don’t actually want a functioning government, but JFC, when half the govt actively, publicly and LOUDLY works against it, it’s no surprise it’s so fucked up.
From what I understand due to the way that Lemmy handles federation, it doesn’t (currently?) have a way to handle an instance changing its domain name and still being able to communicate or even an individual user changing their instance and retaining their comments/votes/etc… (this might be more ActivityPub limited since the way Mastodon does it still seems pretty hacky and just a work around for underlying issues).
From a website perspective, yeah, just change some settings and you’re good to go and accessible on the web, but that doesn’t mean that anything regarding Lemmy is going to actually work.
Uncle Jay Explains Congressional Recess!
With a schedule like that, no wonder they can’t get anything done! But yeah, when 1/2 the govt literally wants to point and say “See! Government doesn’t work!” I don’t know how we can function without getting them out.
For me, it’s the refusal to demontize them that’s particularly bad. I can understand free speech absolutists (in theory anyways, in practice you’ll find that they VERY rarely actually are and will happily censor people they disagree with like LGBTQIA+ or sex work content), but that doesn’t mean you need to actively be funding them!
Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content
Quite a few organizations and lots of individuals are now starting to migratev away from it and if any of the money made by visiting goes to Nazis, many of us would prefer to avoid the place when possible.
When I was a cashier, I’d tell people that and they’d respond that it wouldn’t fill out the carbon copy, so they’d just manually continuing to fill out the check anyways and hold up the line :-\
With the machine filling out the checks, it’s no slower than running a credit/debit card.
I love when that happens though!
It’s similar to Cara Gee being so awesome to work with that she wound up taking the place of like 5 book characters. Ty and Wes both rave about her every chance they get in the podcast. IIRC they’ve talked about Ashfords actor being fantastic to work with too.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it :-D
