If you work a 40 hour week, your share of the national debt is going up at like 3 dollars every hour you work

Everyone replying to you so far seems to be forgetting how you can just put a tiny hole on one edge of the lid to drink through without big ice chunks coming through

I dare them to try it. Even just one would be nice.

But if you’re going to drink faster, the cold drink doesn’t need ice to stay cold, so you don’t need a straw or lid to avoid ice sliding in your face

This seems like a checkmate tbh

Not much like, then

People we both recognize as disabled are also told the exact same thing by others, that they’re choosing to behave that way

I’m morally impure but trying to survive. Many people have called me retarded, but there are also plenty of actual disabled people who are more morally pure than me.

I say the problem isn’t the disabled or the morally impure, it’s a huge cult with such a serious sickness they seem to want extinction.

Being unable to stop trying to commit mass suicide via climate change seems like a serious disability

I’d definitely say white supremacy is mental illness though

This is hilarious and I upvoted. But it’s also not accurate, and presenting it this way makes Trump look like a giga chad tricking bullies into punishing themselves, when he’s more like just king of a mentally ill cult. I won’t take my upvote back because I voted for Trump one time 9 years ago and I can’t take that back

I really wanted to argue with this, but you’re right. Shipping companies would have gone truck-only by now to attack brown countries harder with climate change if brown neighborhoods in the US had any say over the use of train tracks through their areas. Yet another thing that’s not about efficiency or cost, while corporations pretend to be all about money.

Still no updates on this that I can find?

Kinda pathetic reflection of the community, that the post you’re commenting on is one of the highest-ranked on Lemmy right now but no comment like yours is near the top of the comments

But I showed up and didn’t sign up so who’s the real number?

I’m smarter than them and I can assure you the magic number is 2.4% not 3.5%

I went to one and it had pretty good turnout for a town in the middle of nowhere in Maine

Society will frame this as self-sacrifice. They won’t recognize that you’re trying to survive long-term. They’ll pretend blindly following commands would give you better chances of survival and health than a “refusal” that leads to 6 months of unemployment. They will sacrifice your health and well-being in the name of reframing what you’re doing, pretending you’re the one sacrificing your health and well-being to protest your choices not being exactly what you want, when you’re actually just trying to survive while offered choices that aren’t viable.

Or maybe you actually are intentionally protesting. Nothing wrong with that. But a lot of people aren’t

I’m not accepting the premise, that’s why I use nostr on the internet and actual library buildings off the internet.

But it is mandatory, whether that’s acceptable or not. Authorities in the US aren’t gonna suddenly change their mind when it’s your local librarian instead of the Internet Archive trying to run things differently from the corporations. The librarian needs better infrastructure to stand up to the authorities and break away from the corporate way

Then the libraries would have to pay for hosting, so they’d have to be the ones selling user data to advertisers and stuff. Hence the extra degree of separation / “plausible deniability”

If the hivemind cared about actual important priorities (instead of just the desire for low oil prices), then the Internet Archive would face more pressure to improve its infrastructure and the authorities would face more pressure to leave the Internet Archive tf alone.

Nostr can fix this someday

We also haven’t tried every possible configuration of atoms to see if anything creates a portal to an infinite energy dimension or a perpetual motion machine or something we can use to make our own stars
