The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin is the one that came to mind for me.
Agreed. The life of a phone includes multiple cables (unless someone here knows some trick I don't), so including OEM hardware that's tested and recommended for the device is great and I wish it were still standard. Phone manufacturers not including parts that they still sell separately seems to have little to do with environmentalism/conservation and much to do with profits.
They do this almost every year. It's not even really a threat, anymore, just an expectation.
Vance is dumb* to come out and say it out loud because it makes him an easy possible scapegoat for the inevitable fury that a shutdown fight causes.
*Shocking, I know.
Yeah, this type of "reporting" is infuriating to me. Claiming the election is in the bag is just a shitty attempt to depress voter turnout.
I won't trust that Trump has lost this election until Harris is sworn in as POTUS.
And lo, Lemmy's next meme of the week was born
She would almost certainly have threatened to contact her "solicitor," not her "attorney," if it were real, given she's from/in the UK. Still a very entertaining read, though.
We know why we're hated; it's why those of us who strive to exemplify professionalism, ethics, and civility are so angry and depressed. It's why I've been having a career crisis because I always wanted to go into law, but only to do good, and now it feels like there is so little legitimacy to the judicial branch.
Fuck the people who abuse the rule of law until there is none, fuck Trump and his cronies, and fuck SCOTUS for fucking us. Now excuse me, I have to go cry in a corner.
Not really. From the article:
“Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole—that’s going to be the least of it. It’s gonna be a bloodbath for the country,” he declared.
While the context may have been "auto industry," the message was clear.
Trump, meanwhile, has claimed he made Swift “so much money” and argued she’d be “disloyal” if she supported Biden, like she did in 2020.
“I’m sorry — if you only want to work four hours, it’s going to be harder for you to get a house,” she said
What a joke. I spent the better part of the last three years working 70 hour weeks until I burned myself to a crisp. I'm much better off financially than many people my age, yet I am somehow still years away from homeownership and starting a family - if I ever can.
Maybe Whoopi should retire and let a millennial do her job for her pay. Not me; I don't think I'd be able to work as hard as her. 🙄
I wish famous people would just shut up if they're going to say stupid shit. I don't want her tainting my TNG rewatch.
It's simply not the BBC's job to tell people who to support and who to condemn - who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.
I miss when this was the standard for news. Now most (e: major) outlets don't even try to pretend they have no bias and instead push a subjective point. Even when I agree with the point, I don't like it when my "news" pushes it instead of just, you know, reporting.
Give me the info and let me form my own opinions.
This guy read Foucault's discussion about the panopticon and took it as instructions. Ugh.
