At least Scouts teach firearm safety, which clearly ICE skipped in their rush to terrorize neighborhoods

You create a great story but violates K.i.S.S.

• not saying they got in means they can’t use it as evidence. Sometimes there’s still due process
• even if they can get into lockdown mode, it’s clearly harder than not lockdown. Why conspire to make it harder?

Nah she’s playing with fire. Maybe she “don’t talk gud “, but this is a favorite talking point of deniers. This is exactly the scenario of dismissing BLM concerns with “all lives matter”. Technically true but offensively misleading

Is she right? Sure, anyone can be racist, no demographic has a monopoly only on that. All lives should matter

But she’s absolutely wrong to bring it up in this scenario, it’s another case of “both sides the same”, or a what aboutism. She’s effectively dismissing their concerns

What protests are you going to? The overwhelming majority of people I know who goto protests are white and no one has had such a complaint (yes I don’t have a diverse acquaintance group). Yes I’m white Middle Aged Christian male, ticking all the boxes except “sociopath”, and I’ve always felt welcome

I especially note the BLM protests from a few years ago, as predominantly darker skin people, but I still never felt anything but welcome

That’s not a typical occurrence.

The reality is that most people have insurance coverage, even if the cost is excessive, paperwork is excessive and there are too many coverage exceptions. And most people never encounter corporate death panels.

This is yet another “us vs them” scenario. Enough voters can say “at least I have better coverage than ….” That there is less pressure to fix it and too many people afraid of losing what they have.

Personally I have decent enough insurance (while I’m employed) that I would likely lose on universal coverage. However I’m aware of the total cost to myself and my employer, which is entirely obscene, and I realize it’s contingent on being employed, in an industry known for regular layoffs. I’m part of the problem since I’m “good enough” to not push for better, but also the solution since I would vote for universal coverage because I’m not a sociopath nor an idiot

We’ve learned to expect a huge range of gibberish, but please tell me this is @theonion@mastodon.social

I kind of like it. There’s something satisfying about giving my cart a shove and having a bunch of carts line up together with loud crashing noises

President jd Vance tries to start an oil war for profit, but there are no takers. US is the only country still relying on oil for transportation, with legacy manufacturers building ever larger pickups that can’t be sold anywhere else, protected by 200% tariffs on all foreign vehicles

Realistically, not only do I not want an 8k tv, but I might not get a tv at all, if I had to do it today. We rarely watch tv anymore. The brainrot is the same but we’re much more likely to use individual screens

Both great fun.

• Flying can be expensive and highly technical depending on where you are and what you fly. I had a blast while flying, got some good trips in, was able to give most of my family the experience. I gave it up when I had kids because of the priority change
• I suppose sailing too depending. I did some sailing out of Boston harbor and had a blast but they were bigger boats, more expensive. Actually the place I rented from organized extended trips down the coast and my regret was not taking any

I want a dumb tv with the price and and specs of a smart tv. Less is more

If any of them are actual lawyers, the bar association also needs to take action, or be complicit. Lying in public statements , defamation, and abusing the legal system for personal gain should not be actions they condone

If you have a concern different from the thread, please start another post.

Yes the biggest pilot customer used it to haul lightweight snack items but als yes the claimed fully loaded to the legal limit tests

And an ai company with no ai product

I don’t see how. This is just a continuation of what he was already doing, facilitated by a board of his friends and relatives.

Even worse I have to say I’m not totally against it. All too often ceos get excessive pay regardless of their results. While I haven’t looked in detail not at the history, the claim is these are only for Tesla meeting some extremely ambitious milestones and the payment is stock. Certainly his previous ridiculous allay was in stock and Tesla had some extraordinary growth. If the stock doesn’t go up, then he should never receive that wealth

If it’s truly contingent on the company growth and the board doesn’t throw him a life preserver, that’s not entirely bad. Excessive yes. Extremely excessive. Excessively excessive. But more execs need to have their wealth gated on actual results

Even ice might someday rejoin society. They should never again be allowed in a position to deprive people of their human rights but it’s possible

Maybe. I’m sure most of their concerns have a legitimate root, before they branch off into lala land. But how do you help them see the light where their twisted logic detours down the path of hatred and racism?

People tried. They tried and gave up. I have a hard enough time talking with my brother who always insisted he wasn’t either maga or conservative (but those dark skinned people and unions, dei to blame for everything)

Wow, I always did assume musk was there to take the blame but didn’t know anyone fell for it

Probably, but we also need to take every chance to reduce unnecessary plastic in the environment

Seems like the headline and article itself are missing the main point

printer cartridges that can’t be refilled or that don’t have a take-back program offered by the vendor.

It may be barely mentioned but I read this are requiring a program to take back cartridges
