As vile as Walmart is, that image is inaccurate. Walmart's starting pay is either $10 or $11 now, higher in some regions and they do have SOME benefits, though they aren't great. As far as prices go, not sure, we don't have that chain locally.
Hiding our existence on social media platforms won't make us go away. All it does is hurt those who need to understand who they are. I wouldn't be quite the mess I am if trans people were more accepted when I was growing up in the 80's and early 90's. Visibility matters.......
History generally reveals that tearing the system down gives you a pretty good chance of ending up with something worse. We got LUCKY with the American Revolution. France didn't fair so well after theirs. It's one of the things I fear the most for the people of Syria right now, TBH. Generally...
Most definitely wasn't written by him, it's actually coherent. You are right that those who seek power are generally at least a little narcissistic. It goes with the territory, unfortunately. It's why Plato wrote 'Only those who do not seek power are qualified to hold it.' It's also why...
While he got more votes that the other candidates, he only got 49.7% of the vote, not a majority, though close to it. The majority of the population voted for someone else.
And he was WRONG about that. The attacker was American born.
Excuse me, it seemed that individual states implemented lock-downs during covid, not the CDC and health department. Fauci recommended things but he had no power to implement them. It's why the covid response was SO different in Washington State than it was in Florida. The lock-downs also...
Yup, police department is NOT a private entity and releasing the footage doesn't compromise national security. There is no reason to charge for it other than to shield the police.
The MAGA masses are driven by xenophobia, Tech-bros are driven by greed. One sees immigrants as something to be eliminated, the other sees them as something to be enslaved..... Let the rift between them grow. It'll give those who actually think all humans should be treated with respect and...
Funny thing is that is what ended up leading to Earth Alliance in Babylon 5. The major Anglophone countries were the first to unite followed by Japan, and the Netherlands. Of course that also lead to President Clark's regime. They didn't just become new states in the US, though.

Biden was in a tough situation here, it was either veto the bill and let the military budget flounder for a month given his replacement will sign the bill anyway in as soon as he takes office or sign the bill and end up with the same results only without military personnel being in limbo until...
It's 'allowed' in that the rules don't outright ban it, and I think I recall seeing a video compilation of it being done by both Republicans AND Democrats, though I can't seem to find it now. I'm not sure if has been done in this specific case, though. Frankly if the congresswoman in question...
Yup, and I don't know why it isn't grounds for automatic expulsion from congress for ANY congressperson who presses the vote button on another congressperson's seat. If you can't be there to vote, you should either resign or a vote from your seat should not count.
I'm eagerly awaiting the day when people realize that the stocks in Musk's companies are highly overrated and the bulk of his wealth quickly evaporates because of it. Heck, Twitter may have finally hit the tipping point(I would have thought it would have happened a year ago, but looks like...
Yes and no. The DCMA has specific penalties for breaking encryption to access copyrighted work. Printer manufactures were the first ones that realized they could use that to block the ability to refill or remanufacture cartridges. Now Apple uses it to key parts to specific phones(not models...
The safe harbor rules are one of the few parts of the DMCA I generally agree with. Issue is it's also being used to keep people from repairing vehicles and electronics they have bought, to keep you from refilling ink cartridges and more.
