Parasites. They’re not just deplorable, they’re fucking parasites killing their host. Many of my loved ones are in that camp but they’re a part of an existential problem.

Solid pun.

That’s what I don’t get though, these people seem to be delusional in that they think that they’re a hard worker and looooove in person, so therefore every hard worker loves in person and the chaff will quit. Then they act shocked when their high performers largely leave to pursue remote or hybrid options. It’s such a glaring inability to see people different from them as having any value.

Well a couple things, if possible I call ahead and see if anything can be modified, and if not I find some reason to bail. If it’s spontaneous, I benefit from, frankly, being a pretty heteronormative man so I can always manage to get beer and a large side. I really only have to let people know ahead of time if it’s some kind of work event, in which case the staff member in charge of us attending the event handles it but I’m not in that situation a lot. Of course, most of the time I’m eating it with people who already know me well so they already know I’m vegan.

I realize the irony in this opening statement, but as someone who’s been vegan a long time and never brings it up unless directly asked I can say that this people who are vocal about it tend to be the new vegans who are gonna drop out in six months because they just so happened to have a 1 in 6,000,000,000 person medical condition that makes it literally impossible for them to be vegan, which they discovered for the first time right after bbq season started back up. Definitely not just because they have a different outlook now, no sir.

Ghost in the Shell called it thirty years ago.

Looking at you NJ, you ridiculous grift if a state.

It is, but that’s also a defining feature of the presidential system as opposed to the parliamentary system.

Yeah but also I’m sure Obama, Biden, and Kamala are all commies also lol

That’s absolutely not true, you can be convicted of attempting crimes or for conspiracy to commit crimes.

Someone just posted this like a week ago, that’s not what wage theft is and deliberately misusing terms like that makes us look bad. Stop. You aren’t helping.

It takes fewer seconds for assholes like you to fuck off though, sooooooo…

I wish I could agree with you, but we found out that isn’t true the hard way over the last 25 years…

Yeah I actually tried beehaw initially but they never dealt with my application, so after a whole I just went with Lemmy.world.

Hey now, be fair. Moldova has a big presence there too… proportionately.

That’s very true. The real solution here is implementing the rule of law instead of selective nonsense that protects right wing vigilantism.

I’m in a gun club and the WhatsApp chat had, surprise surprise, a rich, fashy vet immediately saying that the attempt meant that all supporters of the Democrats were now “enemy combatants” and should be treated like enemy combatants were back when “they” were deployed. Fucking psychotic, brownshirt ass. I know this makes me sound like him, but people like him have one solution and it’s measured in six foot increments of rope.

This is so fucking dumb, the entire thing is premised on meaningful primaries occurring all over the country. How many of those “57” were actually competitive? I know my state had literally one candidate on the ballot. Biden extremely strongly implied that he wouldn’t run for a second term, then pulled a “lol jk it’s me or the literal fascist.” Most people didn’t want Biden to run again, but here we fucking are. And The Atlantic has the gall to say that this is a vocal minority of crybabies demanding an open and competitive primary be overturned. Fuck off.

Tell me you don’t understand directionally or literal numbers without telling me…

Yeah, his model gave her less of a chance than most others and their podcast constantly, over and over, warned people that this means Trump wins three elections if you run it ten times. People who wrote 538 off because it didn’t call the election for Trump are some of the dumbest mouthbreathers you’ll run into.
