TL;DR nothingburger. Bureaucratic process says the DNC has to meet by a specific date, the DNC doesn’t really want to, it’s filing a waiver for a time extension that will almost absolutely get passed without issue.
Joe Biden will most definitely be on the Ohio ballot. Hes still going to lose the state, but he’ll be on the ballot
Yeah, it’s pretty clear that this increase in wage will bump up the end cost of ordering at these restaurants but like… it’s by such a small margin where anyone complaining about it is a massive dork.
Big Mac is 30 cents more expensive so staff can get paid (closer to) a living wage. That’s a very fair trade off for the American people
Yep. Trades, nursing (and related fields, lab-related medical jobs), hell, even skilled manufacturers are great paths to go into. They’re not glitzy, and you still have to like… do work. But that’s just part of living in society. Someone’s gotta clean the toilets, someone’s gotta fix the power lines.
Which trades are you referring to?
I live close by to a community college that allows basically anyone to fairly quickly (1-2 yrs) get into a trade. I know several people who did. It’s not “easy” in the sense that yeah, you’re still learning a whole fucking skillset and trying to land your first adult job, but it’s definitely… extremely doable…?
Rich parents.
There’s really no other answer for this one. I went to a very nice university. The average person has no idea how many college students are coming from phenomenally high income families where price is essentially no issue.
It’s just a matter of how high up the top 10% is relative to everyone else. Both your parents are doctors and they have 18 years to save up - half a mill for Amy’s college bill is basically piss money.
The only problem is that these college students tend to grow up in areas where this is basically the norm. I had so many 19 year olds act flabbergasted that not only are neither of my parents doctors/lawyers/engineers… they didn’t even gasp go to college!
Cops, judges, and the rest of the criminal justice system kill thousands of people every year - be it directly or indirectly.
I really don’t think a lot of people understand just how many Americans every single year are impacted not just directly through things like police brutality - but egregious prison sentences and fines for either minor crimes or crimes they didn’t even commit.
For every news story you get about some poor guy who was exonerated after a false conviction, there are a lot more who were falsely convicted and never got vindication - and even more who have to pay tickets or face jail times over made up misdemeanors.
Seemingly the AI from Goldeneye 64
Perplexing, but nice to see!
It’s a really great and faithful remake - but I feel like I heard so little about it that I’m so confused to see new endings and player characters come out for it now months later.
Hoping it has some second wind with the general gaming crowd. Seems like it got overshadowed by RE4 and the latest Zelda game and never hit it off with that kind of TikTok, game of the month crowd
No, we’re of the same mindset. It’s clear the missiles didn’t fall on these vehicles by chance, it’s just up for some debate regarding on if they were deliberately targeted knowing they were aid vehicles or not
We don’t, which is why I say “likely” - but the sheer precision and clear markings on the vehicles makes me doubt the “it was a series of accidents” explanation.
I think he actually got a little worried about the pushback regarding the most recent bombing of aid vans. Like, even the most pro Israeli outlets and groups online were saying “wow… that was a huge fuck up…”
Of course, none of them were acknowledging it was likely intentional. But I think in terms of gauging “are the Israeli people cool with us literally starving civilians to death” IDF leadership got a fairly affirmative “no”.
It’s interesting that DF has been around for just year and years and whenever I think it’s fully faded out some YouTuber makes a video about it and back it goes.
It’s like a cycle. People play dwarf fortress, people make a video on it. Then they forget. And then a new, young audience is around and another video comes out about Dwarf fortress and they watch it and get into it.

You haven’t said ‘at first’ at any point in talking to me.
Yeah I’m not sure how much of an ethical stand that is if all the content is still imported from “big tech”.
It’s like starting a farming commune but then still buying everything from Walmart
No, but it’s not really indicative of a healthy, long lasting website if essentially all of its posts are just coming from other websites. Why would anyone come here if they could just go on twitter or Reddit or wherever else and see the content directly?
Yeah, it’s interesting what lives and what doesn’t. Star Trek stuff…? Still big on the website. LOTR stuff? Basically a dead corpse.
I really wonder how long Lemmy will really last. It really feels like a website sustained by like 5 dudes mostly reposting content, with any actual discussion becoming increasingly circlejerk-y as time goes on.
Not a ton because my app crashes every time I use the search function. I get what the lord gives me
Yeah, it is a little silly
This post makes a sweeping assumption Linux users would have women flirt with them.
