ghen@sh.itjust.worksto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Inflation Outpaces Wage Growth For Over 40% Of Americans9·7 days agoYup. There’s no such thing as a good billionaire. We could probably drop it down to a hundred millionaire too
ghen@sh.itjust.worksto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Inflation Outpaces Wage Growth For Over 40% Of Americans6·7 days agoI think we can come to the common ground that there is a lot of stuff that the governments around the world and specifically the US government spend money on that it shouldn’t. A lot of our collective military spending is based on fear for example.
I’m not fully in your camp for destroying taxes but I do think that we could probably find some things that we both agree on pretty quickly
ghen@sh.itjust.worksto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Inflation Outpaces Wage Growth For Over 40% Of Americans7·7 days agoThat’s an oversimplification. Taxes are supposed to go for things that benefit everyone like roads for sure; but the vast majority goes to things that we generally think of as good but don’t generally need. Things like healthcare paid for by healthy people and military defense paid for by people who have never been shot at.
So while it is true to say nothing gets back to me, I am still relieved because if I was breaking even on my taxes that would mean I have some sort of life altering problem.
The British plug serves the same point as an inset because there’s a bit of non-conductive material on the plug itself that goes into the wall. If it’s not fully inserted then the only thing showing is the non-conductive material.
It also has the thickest metal on the plug as far as I know. It’s probably the only thing that the British have ever engineered better than the Germans.
It even has the red grass to hide in.
That’s not what I’m saying at all. I have no idea where you’re getting that from.
I’m saying that you are probably a furry and you think your hobby belong in the LGBTQ space instead of lumped in with other roleplay hobbies like dungeons & dragons or LARPing.
Literally nothing about being gay or homophobia, that’s a completely different subject and the fact that you brought it up means you’re the one being defensive.
If you just want to fuck people wearing wolf costumes then it’s okay dude. You didn’t have to write all that
So I agree with your result but not with the path you took to get there. If we find out tomorrow that there’s some other part of gender or sexuality and people start identifying as that because now their life makes sense with this new label then they should be allowed in even though they didn’t fight or struggle.
But furries aren’t a sexuality or gender, they’re a hobby. It’s just a fun suit and roleplay. That can be enough to base a life around, but it’s a learned hobby like video games or d&d. Not something they’re born with that would cause persecution along with gay and trans rights
ghen@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•'It's a cover up': Musk floods X with posts attacking Trump over Epstein2·18 days agoIt’s more that because of elon’s single-mindedness and pettiness that we can measure his effect on the platform and extrapolate that to other social media. So this would give us a good basis of measurement for the forced memes that big tech companies want us to spread when they aren’t being so obvious.

ghen@sh.itjust.worksto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Dr. Oz Tells Americans Who Are Concerned About Medicaid Cuts to Eat Less CakeEnglish4·22 days agoI would say, pleasantly, that Bill Nye suffers from one of the classic blunders of academia. Just because you’re smart about one specific niche subject in one specific niche field doesn’t mean you are smart about every subject in every field. Most scientists are quite honestly just as knowledgeable as the rest of us in any field that they didn’t academically study. That sounds like common sense, but once you have a PhD on your name you kind of forget it.
Bill Nye is an expert mechanical engineer, and a middling to decent planetologist. Any subject beyond that and he’s just as good as you or me even though he speaks with an authoritative voice.

ghen@sh.itjust.worksto Canada@lemmy.ca•Self-censorship and the ‘spiral of silence’: Why Americans are less likely to publicly voice their opinions on political issues4·1 month agoI self censor at work because people can be pretty petty and there’s just so many ways to get screwed by a random acquaintance.
Out and about with anyone else though I’m ok because i understand most issues well enough to not make myself look silly.
On Israel Palestine though there is no right answer.
I thought the bubble had popped when we had AI energy drinks, jokes on me it’s just a bigger bubble now. When that thing bursts it’s going to be way worse than the dotcom crash
