Wait, so mandating return to office in the middle of flu season has resulted in more people getting sick? Who could have seen that coming?

You're exactly right. A one day boycott doesn't work. For it to work your need to have a day when you don't consume anything. But even then, that isn't feasible.

Cancel your subscriptions, and don't start them up again.

Divest your 401k from US money markets.

Get involved in your local government and start focusing on ways that your community can provide local services.

If you know where a morally corrupt CEO is going to be staying, let your local Luigi know.

These aren't easy things, but they can be effective.

Yes, that's how it works when one thing is more expensive than another thing. But people do save up money through one part of their life to spend during another part of their life. And they aren't the only people who used to think that Tesla's were cool tech cars.

Think of it as a methadone clinic for doomscrollers.

There's a reason no one lives in fucking Wyoming. Why should they move from their seaside country to middle of nowhere Wyoming?

Let's move them to Florida's South East Coast. There's hardly anyone important there, and we can just relocate the people there a bit further inland.

The man told CBS News Miami his message to the president: "If I get a chance to talk to you, man — please, man — let's work something out. Let me keep my wife here in the United States. She deserves to be here."

And he still thinks trump gives a shit about him and would even entertain having a conversation with him.

And fuck this guy... why does his wife deserve to be in the US and not all of the other people who were grabbed?

Ah yes, just what we need in a burgeoning online community: people discouraging interactions.

HereBeter is saying that trump is a legal criminal... you know, since he has been found guilty of many crimes, yet hasn't had to have any consequences.

This is a lot like how our government is all concerned about National Security™ when it comes to pretty much anything else, but a bipartisan bill, supported by both of the last 2 presidents, and upheld unanimously by our current dysfunctional Supreme Court, with National Security™ as the excuse, and we still have Tiktok.

Laws are only there so the ruling class can keep us in line and them in power, and they will never be enforced homogenously.

Wait, so would this be in exchange for Greenland?

I find it hard to believe that, outside of work computers, many people would be choosing Windows over Mac or Linux, especially is AI is their goal.

I'm also curious why the comments are turned off for this article unless it is a paid ad for Microsoft.

 

I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I'm surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I'm prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I'm the only one.
