Yeah infinity war was better, I knew this the moment Thanos ripped that planet down with the power and space stones

Literally me this morning

Gala for me

What was the voting age at the time of that election in Gaza? I've heard that the average age of Palestinians is 18, although that might only be a recent statistic. If the voting age of that population is so young, you might imagine the ignorance that population would have towards issues, or the potential that population might have for manipulation.

Did that 2007 election take place like US ones, where only like 2/3rds of people even vote at all?

Questions like this really make you wonder if it was even possible for the election results that put Hamas into power to be representative of the general population.

So, all of this is to say that I agree with you.

That guy was an asshole for doing that to you. I wonder if that might be considered trespassing. Dunno if you can have any civil remedy served to you, or if it's even worth it, but still sucks.

An advanced search would be so fing good for Lemmy. I realize that the problem is mainly how most modern search engines can't do wildcard top level domain searches so you can't really look up posts from lemmy[.]world or etc., but then Lemmy also has wildly variable domain names too which makes searching all the more difficult. A solution for this is so critical for discoverability and usefulness

But this excludes all other judges that were appointed by 1) a different Republican president than Trump, and 2) a different Democrat president than Biden, no?

Unless all judge terms are shorter than 1-2 terms for presidents (haven't read all state/federal codes), this would leave a lot of judges left that would be considered less biased towards/against those under their prudence. No need to go nuclear devil's advocate for this one.

If you want to see what the heck veganism is about compared to vegetarianism, check this resource out.

But yeah! Leather is also bad for the same reason, contributing to the same industry. There are alternatives out there so don't feel bad!

One step at a time, like you've mentioned in your other comments.

Going vegetarian doesn't seem to be the most impactful when you look at the numbers, as per this video. Vegan diets still have the lowest GHG footprint and GWP of all diets.

That being said, I went vegetarian first before going vegan. So your point is entirely valid.

There was a phenomenon in the US labor market during 2022/2023 called "quiet quitting" where laborers across the market realized that companies weren't paying wages adequately or to a level that reflected the kind of work laborers would perform.

It was thought that companies paid their workers short of what the workers are owed, and in response to that, a large number of people, many trending young, started behaving according to those wages.

This often meant reducing work speed or efficiency, reducing communication, etc. Laborers would claim that they were doing the bare minimum to match their wage compensation.

The other side of this is that the US labor market at that time favored laborers over companies. Workers had more leverage about getting job offers and negotiating terms than companies had, partly due to a rebound from COVID.

This meant that there wasn't as much of an anxiety of workers being fired from their position since they would find it easy to get another job. So people did look for other jobs, often while working, to see if they might improve their circumstances and land a job that pays better.

The "quiet" part was about sliding back on performance or even job tasks themselves, and the "quitting" part was about workers possibly leaving companies for other offers.

I might have conflated The Great Resignation with this, but both phenomena affect the other.

It's so backwards. Making this stretch of coastline walkable means more people show up, and if businesses realize this potential then they can capitalize. Makes sooo much sense
