Cuno would get me too high and then tell me I was gonna feel like that forever

I understand why unions push seniority based hiring to combat nepotism in hiring practices but goddamn is it frustrating having to learn a new job every year because someone more senior than me applied for my contract. Especially when it forces me to engage with the soul crushing act of “networking” because there’s no guarantee of me getting another contract unless someone hires my antisocial ass. I can see why new hires can get a bad taste for unions if they’re not engaged with the politics of contract negotiations and their only exposure is this

Hail the Omnissiah. He is the god in the machine, the source of all knowledge. Gears and pistons are stronger than bones and flesh

Also cheap compared to Canada, especially around the great lakes region. Across the lake in Canada is one of the most unaffordable places to live in the country, along with the southwest coast

I had a little packet of Listerine strips but since it’s been so humid here they melted together into a solid Listerine brick. But I didn’t want it to go to waste so I used the Listerine brick and now the front of my tongue has no sense of taste. Beware fellow hexbears, heed my cautionary tale

This is all the pain of watching a drunk person try to talk to a sober person plus the added horror of Nazis, 10/10

It’s a funny thread so I’m glad it’s being recognized but it wasn’t even big so I dunno why they chose that one

It’s crazy how much more difficult it is to just survive now in Western society. Like talking to my older co-workers or people my parents’ age, they can all talk about how the years they spent dicking around, travelling or pursuing some passion while working part time on the side. Meanwhile I work full time at the same age they were, and I can barely afford to do anything besides pay my rent and buy groceries. Like there’s no back up anymore, if you can’t afford rent one month you’re evicted and finding a new place is even more expensive.

Now these are all cis white people I’m talking to so they already had it easy compared to the experience of other people at the time

Lmao they included screenshots of the Operation IKEA Freedom planning like it was a serious threat on our part

Just had to say goodbye to my 18 year old kitty, I know it was for the best but god it’s so hard. I hope she felt all the love in the world because she was a perfect cat

I’ve had this feature on my phone for quite a while since it’s MIUI. But the issue I’ve had is that it will decrease the volume even when I’m connected to Bluetooth speakers or my car where it’s easier to max the volume on the phone and control the volume on the speakers

Alright I tried doing this on your terms, peace

Okay we’re in a thread talking about how Native Hawaiians feel about the American government. I actually want to know why you are arguing this point and what you feel it accomplishes, in genuine good faith. Like are you Native Hawaiian, do you like in Hawaii, do you just like the idea of being able to visit Hawaii without a passport, or is there some other reason?

For me, I’m arguing this because I believe Indigenous people around the world have a right to self governance and freedom from colonial occupiers. So what’s your reason?

I dunno what to tell you dawg if you can’t understand that a referendum of Hawaiian residents from 1959 doesn’t represent the opinions of Native Hawaiians after 60 years of American control and immigration to the island. If you’re so into facts and stats you should know a representative measure of their opinion could only be done through a survey of Native Hawaiians

Nice job replying on your other account first lol, are you in here upvoting yourself too?

So then your point about

Hawaiians could have protested, revolted, or one of many other options. But they didn’t.

Is false

So to quote you

That’s the thing about facts— your opinions don’t magically make them untrue, regardless of how many folksy sayings or logical fallacies you conjure.

Like the Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement which began actively protesting and gained support in the 1960s, pretty soon after the referendum?

From reading through that thread it looks like lemmy.ca and the pawb one (I forget the URL) have already defederated from us lol

For that price point I’ve had a really good time with using Xiaomi phones. Specifically the Redmi Note series. They’re similarly cheap but they’re built well and feel expensive, not with a plastic case or anything like that.
