I waited in line at the fountain valley fry’s.

43 here lol

It’s GDI propaganda!!! Weather storm machines exist

I watched it all go down too. I even read reason and thought it was reasonable. I would even use cato as a reference.

After the bail outs I was sick of the political status quo too so I started doing my own research and reading. That’s when I found the Libertarian party of US.

That year Gary Johnson was running and there was a lot of debate about open borders, pro-choice, and Just general libertarian ideology. So i soaked it all in.

Then I came across Oscar Wilde’s soul of man under socialism which really opened my eyes to post scarcity life. I was shocked to realize that capitalism wasn’t freedom at all. That we are all lied to think this is how it’s supposed to be. The word libertarian means something completely different elsewhere in the world.

That’s when everything that I thought was libertarian started to become what it is now, cesspool of hate.

I mean conservatives have always been masquerading as (L)ibertarians since 1971 here in the US.

Just a sign that they are easily manipulated

Actual libertarianism is open border like you know people who want to do business here have every right to, and for those “illegals” that commit crimes you have the guns.

Fake libertarianism think it should be controlled…. Wait, by what government? :facepalm: xenophobic much?

It feels like I’ve been here forever but I’ve only been a part of Lemmy for less than 18 months.

I was on twitter since 2007 and hardly posted shit (400 posts in almost 20 fucking years), but when I switched to mastodon I felt like I had been there forever. 400 posts in less than a year.

I am really glad to see the communities thriving.

Yea the issue is the employer doing it to make more profit instead of spreading the more profit they make to the workers. There is nothing wrong with self check out. There is something wrong with people being paid shit when the company is sending dividends to stockholders instead.

Dang, that sucks.

I lived in conservative California and we know my spouse’s veteran identifiers were the only reason we didn’t get hassled. Then we went back in a rental car and we were harassed by a small dick truck. This was in 2021.

Thank god we live in the Bay Area now, masking is still common and I see it all the time.

I don’t understand what the fucking big deal is.

Oh right, your freedumbs

This is someone defending musk. They probably have no idea

That’s why it logically doesn’t make sense

Everyone deserves respect.

Respect is in fact, not earned.

One loses respect due to their behavior.

This had nothing to do with what the union wants, the previous poster was asking if they have been doing it wrong

It’s their choice so there is no right or wrong

The point is that the choice should be left with the customer and not the hotel.

Japan would probably still be isolated.

in 1853 US sent warships to force Japan to trade with the west.

Its imperial aspirations were fueled by western thought.

Username checks out

My spouse works for compliance and usually you are given a chance to right everything before it goes as far as being audited. Like you said, mostly administrative issues is taken care at the first level and it’s no biggie.

So if someone is being audited something is already very wrong and the first level folks have sent the case to audits or even criminal investigations.

Compliance means that if you made a mistake, the IRS will give you a chance to correct it. And if you decide not to fix it? then they come for your shit.

If you don’t want them to come to take your shit, FOLLOW THE FUCKING LAW. So simple!!! Isn’t that how it’s supposed to be?

These right wing nut jobs are something else. Haha.

That’s exactly what a centrist would say 🤷🏻‍♀️

tracy ullman show (birthplace of the simpsons)

Star Trek TNG is 1987

small wonder

Punky brewster?

Actually that makes sense. studies show epigenetic gene expression and its connections to depression. Conflicts like world war 2, that happened 80 years ago could be affecting us today. Abuse our parents, grandparents, great grandparents had to deal with could be the reason why we are more depressed.

I come from a family who lived in okinawa in 1945, my grandparents was part of children who were made to fight/work by the japanese imperial navy. They came here to the US for a better life. It was better but that didn’t change the fact that my grandparents went through that.

My entire family (3 generations) suffers from depression. My kids have never been abused so they don’t have depression but they are one stressful event away from being depressed.
