I was in Texas for my first time ever and had my first ever Yeungling (it isn’t available where I live). I didn’t know it was now the choice for the bigots. But I do know: it’s really not a great beer.
Neither is Bud (/Light), but at least that doesn’t taste like a malty homebrew.
Just look at the Catholics!
The need for year-over-year growth is ultimately strangling the system. At the moment it is easy to lay a bunch of people off and claim that growth. Eventually (at some point in the future), it won’t be mathematically possible unless the C-suite starts taking pay cuts, or they at least start eschewing their crazy bonuses. Expect them to milk that for good press (“These forward-thinking CEOs are dumping the bonuses for… insert any random bullshit here!”) or other such marketing nonsense.
Eventually, it will stop, when the system no longer functions at all. Infinite year-over-year growth across the board is an impossibility.
Trump never wanted to “drain the swamp”. He wanted people to look elsewhere. He is the swamp.
I don’t disagree, but I do wonder where the line is. Is there no room for accidents? Is someone to be on the line after Alec Baldwin?
Event happens.
Internet floods with conspiracies about Event.
News reports that there are conspiracies about Event.
Rinse and repeat. “Event” can be virtually anything of public note.
The problem with that isn’t Bernie. The problem is Trump. Bernie splitting the Dem vote is a more sure-fire way to get Trump than Biden running as it is.
Remember when a huge coalition of people wanted RBG to retire? And then she didn’t, and those people took it as courage or some such other virtue?
some people here on Lemmy get upset at any mention of Ranked Choice Voting and respond that, in their opinion, it’s not perfect
To those people, I say: do not let perfection be the enemy of progress.
Also, it’s absurd, because it’s clearly better than what we have now. I suspect many of those people are trolls.
I’d love to see parents flabbergasted by their children refusing the shellfish daddy worked hard to buy, and making sure their clothes don’t use mixed fabrics.
It’s almost like all these CEOs and MBAs are just shooting in the dark because of the $$$ in their eyes, but the fact remains that the market is no longer responding favorably to their absolute need for year-over-year growth.
Tell me you’ve never tried it without telling me you’ve never tried it.
Have you tried emulating it while interfacing with some ancient ISA card?
Stop giving stupid people air time.
Who at all did not see this coming? At this point we as a country just waste resources so the people in the back can push their little christofascist agendas.
Thank you for supporting my website!
There’s never been more evidence that we need to change voting systems in the US. We’ll continue to pick the lesser of two evils until that happens.
And it won’t, because both parties collectively have a stranglehold on the realisticness of such a change.
100% they will do this.
But I wonder if the effect will be different to now. I know Apple wants to retain the idea that their users are in an exclusive blue bubble group. But currently, green bubbles are associated with shitty looking images, video, etc, due to MMS. Especially for people that don’t know why files come through that way, green bubbles are always presented as inferior by virtue of actually being inferior.
But now, if they do keep the green bubs, they’ll just be green. Green at feature parity is different from green with clear differences.
This. One thing Linux is about is personal freedom.
