The beauty of this fediverse thing is, that… if you don’t like it you can make your own instance and do the thing you want there instead. Bye.

Unfortunately, she’s dead which means she will never even have the capacity to understand what her decision meant.
I don’t know, I like Sotomayor. And Brown-Jackson seems alright. And I really don’t have much opinion on Kagan aside from the fact that I usually agree with her rulings. As for Conservatives, I disagree with all of them almost always, but Gorsuch at least seems to care about consistency, and I think his views on Native affairs is admirable.
Ok, so we just have to hold out for another 30 years or so.
Let’s not pretend that he conservative justices didn’t already know how they were going to rule on this. They just needed to do a little parallel construction before issuing their opinion.
This is like when fast food places ask if you want to round your order up to the next dollar to donate to x cause.
Like, no, Taco Bell, I don’t want to pay you so you can turn around and get credit (both in terms of laundering their image, and for tax purposes) for my donation.
And who are they going to have take over mod responsibilities (for free) in all of these communities at once? This is why mods need to call their bluff and force them to try to replace them.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I haven’t been back to reddit since the blackouts started. No desire to.
“Landed gentry”… Because that’s what I think about when I think about unpaid employees.
Can we stop trying to coin cute terms like “enshittification”? What that term describes is just capitalism working as intended.
There is a term that describes this behavior that we’ve been using for at least decades (to describe behavior that has happened since the inception of capitalism): rent seeking.
If you are getting this upset and offended by “Peaches Christ…” By those words. By a silly pseudonym of a performer… Maybe it’s time to reevaluate your life, and what you consider important.
Are you also offended by the title “Jesus Christ Superstar”?
You got paid, because it’s required by law that you do.
That’s not true. Maybe it varies from state to state, I dunno, but I live in an otherwise very blue state, and there’s no statute on the books saying that a private employer must pay for time missed for jury duty.
They are required to allow you to go if you’re summoned, but beyond that, it’s their choice. Obviously, most (if not all) choose not to.
I got called up once and was picked for a case… It was dope. Luckily, it was during break when I was in college, so I didn’t miss any (real) work. And it was only for maybe four days. And it was for a pretty boring insurance fraud case…
But it was still super interesting. Really cool experience.
Real life dystopia shit.
To anyone considering this, just remember that there is a reason that the FDA exists. Fish antibiotics aren’t FDA regulated, so you really have no idea what you’re taking and how much.
Who would know that? Surely not the average user, since we weren’t all invited to this meeting, and everyone who was would be under NDA…
I haven’t really messed with Lemmy at all yet, but Kbin is almost exactly like signing up for/using reddit. if you can use reddit, you can figure out Kbin very easily.
So, because us laymen can’t think of exactly how they would do it, that means it’s not possible?
The best (and often only) indicator of future behavior is past behavior. And if we go on that, I think we all know how Meta looks.
You would only ever know what Meta would be willing to tell you anyway. Also, there’s the whole NDA thing.
I’m sure they’re watching the reddit situation very closely.
