I removed myself as mod, but forgot to unpin the post. Feel free to unpin or delete.

Done deal. Thank you! Really appreciate you.

I just made you head mod. I’m gonna post a few more times before the weekend but this show is all yours as of now. I’ll remove myself as mod soon. Best wishes., have fun! Thank you so.much!

Sorry, just caught your edit. The posting frequency is up to you. I have a couple of people interested as well. I might add all of you just to keep the community going. I’ll get back to you soon.

Are you interested in being a mod, but on back up? I can add you, but you won’t have to do much unless the others diappear.

Thanks for the appreciation, means a lot to me.

I’ll add you real soon. Dont worry about being new to the genre. As long as you know what DnB is, you’ll be fine. Your posts have proven it. Thanks for volunteering!

Man, thanks so much. Love the dbzero dubstep community. I dont know how you keep finding those bangers, but they’re amazing. Keep up the good work! I’ll probably end up adding more mods since a couple of people are interested so you can focus on dubstep.

I did kind of mention in a response to another comment on why I’m out, if you want to see. Its not a full explanation, but its as much as I want to share. I am doing alright though, thanks.

Thanks for everything. Really appreciate you.

Thanks for the appreciation. I hope you enjoyed some of my posts.

As to why I’m leaving Lemmy, there’s a lot of reasons, but mostly its because outside of most music subs, there is no positive vibe in the general community to keep me here any more. There’s more to it, but I’m trying to be nice.

The only thing that kept me here is the love for the music. Been a fan of jungle since 1994 and DnB when it evolved. I most enjoy when I get to hear tracks that others share. I keep posting because, outside of Jungle/DnB fans, I really really hope that someone who never heard Jungle or DnB will hear something, like it, and become a fan.

Thanks again for your appreciation. It does mean a lot to me.

This is sweet. Nice liquid selection. Thanks!

This is pretty sick! I love stuff like this. Thanks!

Thanks! I edited it. It was unintentional. I simply wasn’t paying attention. Glad you enjoy it. Also, thanks for posting tracks here. I love it when others post stuff.

No kidding. My statement was made in the context of the article, where he’s spewing BS and pointing it out that it is BS.

Here, I’ll expand more f9r your benefit.

let them do and say whatever they want …

Without arguments or counterpoint, or pointing out how fing dumb the statements/actions/whatever are.

And at no time did anyone in this thread condone violence to silence them. Where did you get that from?

How does ignoring him help? He’s still going to run, he’s still going to spew his bullshit. Without criticism, his party could have gained more seats/positions. With the media, more people are able to see how stupid he is. The ones that voted for reform were going to vote that way anyhow. It is worth it to discuss stuff to keep others from being swayed their way.

Ignoring stuff doesn’t automatically make things go away. Ignoring stuff isn’t going to change the minds of people who would consider voting for people like him.

If you still disagree with me, thats cool. I don’t really care because at least you arent supporting him or his shit platform.

Better than ignoring it. Notice Farage’s party didn’t win any notable positions in the last election? Yeah, its because of media coverage and people discussing politics. Just because you want to ignore everything and feel useless doesn’t mean everyone should.

Sure, let’s ignore them and let them do and say whatever they want. Yeah, great idea.

Let’s ignore them so no one else can learn how stupid he and other people like him are. Yeah, great idea.

Let’s just ignore anything we don’t like and live in some bubble where we don’t see things we don’t like. Yeah, great idea.

Ignoring stupid people doesn’t stop stupid people from doing and saying stupid shit. Pointing out stupid shit is important.

The discipline was remarkable. First, they at least cooked the liver first. None of that barbaric raw stuff. Second, they limited themselves to livers. No bitter gall bladders. Reduced the risk of prion diseases by avoiding the brain. That’s outstanding discipline!

“west side of the east midlands”

(I’m not from the UK) It makes sense to me. The Midlands is the middle part of England. It was later divided into the West and East Midlands, so you can live in the west side of East Midlands, as well as live in the east side of West Midlands. I think Derby or Leicester would count as “west side of East Midlands”.

Damn, OP, what a fail of a link.

https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/07/27/apple-reaches-agreement-with-unionized-maryland-apple-store-workers

Some 85 employees of the first unionized Apple Store in Towson, Maryland will vote on the first union-negotiated agreement with Apple to improve working conditions on August 6th, 2024.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers’ Coalition of Organized Retail Employees (IAM-CORE) negotiated the tentative agreement between the retail workers and Apple.

The new agreement, which would be good for three years, includes better work-life balance on scheduling and pay raises. Both areas had been a complaint amongst the workers at the Towson Store.

Other improvements include rules on transparency, a severance clause, and limits on contracted employees. All current benefits are preserved, and there is an agreement to bargain over any future additions, the union said in a statement.

“We’re extremely proud to be the first union to take on this fight for Apple workers,” said IAM Eastern Territory General Vice President David Sullivan. “The true partnership between the IAM, IAM CORE and Apple workers has led us to this historic moment.”

The workers at the Towson Apple Store voted to join the union in June of 2022. The 85 workers, the union and Apple began negotiating a formal agreement in May of 2023. After a year of what the union called stalling tactics by the store’s management, workers voted to authorize a strike sanction against the company in June 2024.

There are only a handful of Apple retail stores that have unionized staff. The staff at the store in Reston, Virginia documented Apple management’s stalling tactics in a secret video taken during negotiations.

The US National Labor Relations Board has twice ruled that Apple has broken the law with regards to labor relations. The NLRB found Apple guilty of denying unionized stores the same benefits it gave non-unionized stores, and also conducted illegal interrogations of union staff at its World Trade Center store in New York City.
