Supreme Court: Drivers hauling baked goods are in transportation, not baking
  • In this case yes, because transportation workers have special protections, but it can just as easily apply to strip transportation workers of rights given to bakery workers in different circumstances.

    I think it's kind of neutral.

  • Boeing retaliated against its own engineers working for FAA, union says
  • I mean this is criminal negligence that lead to many deaths. I'm not a fan of the death penalty but they should be held as liable as a drink driver or someone who skimps on building materials and kills someone when the building collapses.

  • Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps
  • Regardless of what one might think should happen or expect to happen, the actual psychological effect is harmful to the victim. It's like if you walked up to someone and said "I'm imagining you naked" that's still harassment and off-putting to the person, but the image apps have been shown to have much much more severe effects.

    It's like the demonstration where they get someone to feel like a rubber hand is theirs, then hit it with a hammer. It's still a negative sensation even if it's not a strictly logical one.

  • Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy?
  • One man's far end is another's centrism. I don't think there are too many truly centrist places left because the Gulf between left and right is so wide the center is just a giant ball of contradictions or meaningless statements.

  • U.S., Not Israel, Shot Down Most Iran Drones and Missiles
  • They were firing at military targets because Israel assassinated one of their generals. If Israel wants to start a war with Iran while they have their hands full with Gaza and Lebanon that's their perogative but the US shouldn't be enabling this insanity.

  • Supreme leader mad
  • Right the issue was more because they're so easy to throw in without thinking about it so people overuse them. That may just be older devs complaining about newbies though.

  • Supreme leader mad
  • Oh interesting. I didn't realize boost was the main issue. Most people I've talked to were complaining about VTables introducing a bunch of indirection and people blindly using associative containers.

  • Asking a girl out for comic book store date?
  • I find a coffee type meeting and a conversation is a good way to feel out of it's a crush or actual connection. I definitely wouldn't linger if there's a mismatch in expectations but I've also regretted jumping straight to dating with someone I would have liked to hang out with platonically but now they feel weird about it or think I dumped them.

    It's definitely not how a less emotionally mature me would have operated so maybe your right and it's not the best advice here.

  • Asking a girl out for comic book store date?
  • I think it's a cultural thing, if I meet someone in certain contexts it's better to start with coffee or drinks after work and feel each other out 1 on 1, and in others like an app or singles event, just ask them out. I also guess some people would call the first thing a date.

  • Asking a girl out for comic book store date?
  • If you only talked to her once or something and didn't know her that well, maybe just ask her to hang out at the comic book store and mention you enjoyed talking with her, or something you genuinely liked when you last talked to her (other than her looks).

    This sets up a low expectation meeting where you can figure out if it's a crush or you actually like her and if it's not mutual you can just hang out as friends if both of you are comfortable with that. The goal should be to feel out of you like her and not to try and convince her to go on a real date, just be yourself and see if there is compatibility in a one on one setting.

    Just be honest with how you feel at the the and respect her feelings as well.

  • Removed
    If UBI (universal basic income) were ever implemented wouldn't corporations and landlords immediately raise prices to effectively take that away from people?
  • In areas that have housing shortages you probably would see a rise in rent as the market of people looking to buy nicer places increases quickly but actually increasing the housing stock in desirable areas takes some time.

    I think in the long run it would be a net positive and also would need to be paired with some measure of regulation around arbitrary increases in rent for landlords.

    [Spoiler] Theory about an iconic manga panel
    Spoilers for anyone who hasn't gotten up to chapter 967 in the manga

    With regards to the iconic Roger Laughing panel when he gets to Laugh Tale, I think the reason Roger laughed when he got to Laugh Tale is because Joy Boy intended his treasure for someone who would live on and lead the world to a new future by overthrowing the World Government.

    This would have been extremely ironic, since Roger was terminally ill and had just spent the final days of his life seeking a treasure that was meant for someone else, who would live long enough to be able to change the world.

    I think that positions Luffy in a really interesting spot because he has been shedding his life span throughout the manga, like in Impel Down. It doesn't feel like a very Luffy thing to not take the one piece just because he doesn't have very long to live. I wonder if he would take whatever is on laugh tale and through sheer will power force the world to change before dying.
