Most people tend to buy the imperfect cheap product rather than the better, more expensive product.
If we refused to buy crap, they wouldn't make it. If we refused to buy it, they couldn't make it.
They sell us crap because collectively we prefer it.
Yes. Otherwise we have to call them sparkling fascist.
Can we agree that until it doesn't happen to anyone, it should happen to this guy?
While he was replaced, and he'll continue to be replaced, I still found this to be somewhat uplifting.
Now I'll go back to forgetting that shit stain ever lived.
It's not really lost. If it sank in dock, it's right there only lower.
No more than Rapidcreek pretending "The West" doesn't include France.
Their success is not because people don't see through their bullshit. It's because the people opposing them have to follow the rules.
They also believe that everyone else is too stupid to put it together. They think they're such geniuses that they will be able to cover their tracks and convince everyone that it's the brown people's fault.
Thanks! I'm glad you agree!
We also blew our chance to support Haiti back when they first revolted because we didn't want our slaves to get any ideas.
As always, American Ideals are based on a lie.
Haiti was punished by the West for daring to fight against their oppressors, and we all, collectively, never stopped trying to crush them.

Now they have the failed state which the West absolutely caused, and scum in this country blame them for the situation they were put in.
I got one job the real old-fashioned way: going through classified ads, printing resumes and cover letters, and mailing them out via postal mail.
Both jobs since then were because someone I worked with found out I was looking.
Same person each time. He has a lot of connections.
Yeah, kind of seems appropriate.
I'm ready to weep from this.
Every time any problem comes up, my current manager insists we must use Excel to solve it.
Except, the article has it in quotes:
“1oz .999% silver medallions”
Which suggests to me they are quoting the announcement.
Given the nature of the person selling them, it would be safer to assume they want you to believe the percent sign is misplaced so that you buy it, but then when you realize it's less than 1% silver you can't get your money back.
This is probably a stupid question, but if I want to add a line to a PDF telling people to direct any comments to my Lemmy account, how would I specify that?
Obviously teenager is 13-19.
"Young adult" would start at 20, but where's the cutoff at the upper end? Similarly, what's the range for "adult", "old", "elderly", " ancient"?
If someone asks for responses from "old men", how do I know if it applies to me?
Title is my question. It seems like refusing to recognize other state's driver licenses would be blatantly unconstitutional. Is there something I'm missing?
This article was originally published primarily as a response to IBM's Red Hat's change to no longer publish complete, corresponding source (CCS) for RHEL and the prior discontinuation of CentOS Linux (which are related events, as described below). We hope that this will serve as a compre...
I tend to at least look at every work email I receive. Likewise for Teams messages. If I see a notification of a new communication, I tend to check it and see if I need to respond. I don't always respond, but I always look at the message.
In various virtual meetings, I've seen other people's notifications when they share their desktop, and it seems like some people just don't bother even looking at them.
Am I the weird one? Does everyone just ignore messages they receive at work?

I saw the post about Eastern State, then I posted about the Pennsylvania Hospital Pine Building. What are the other weird or interesting things to do or see in Philadelphia that you think more people need to know about?
If you're in Philadelphia and want to do a historic tour some afternoon, there's one that I think many people are unaware of.
You can tour the Pennsylvania Hospital original building. East wing was first opened in 1755, West Wing in 1796, and center in 1804. You can visit the original surgical amphitheatre, the medical library, and see the hospital's fire engine.

This morning I was driving to my son to swap vehicles when I encountered road work on Moyamensing.
Blocking the only road that leads to his apartment.
When I got back to my office, I had to check Google maps to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Simple question. Which distribution was your introduction?
For me, it was SLS Linux in '92-93, followed relatively naturally by Slackware, which was followed by Redhat.
