I live in a state on the lower-wage side of states in the country.

Fast food places here are advertising $22+ an hour to try to attract talent. Corporations are such fucking liars.

why is everything so broken…

Greed

Can’t believe Johnny Cash actually shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

Yeah, we are not dooming the planet - we are dooming ourselves.

I can see it. I squinted.

The people saying “we’re destroying our planet and need to stop” want to see all humans go extinct

See this is a little bit of a mischaracterization - the Earth will likely recover from climate change. The human race are the sensitive species here.

We need to rethink our rhetoric to make it clear slowing climate change is for the benefit of humans, not “the earth”

Gneiss!

Ah… crab… broke my knife…

Okay, I’m definitely not trying to “both sides” here. I will absolutely be voting for Biden, I wish he was stronger on a few issues but ultimately think he’s done a pretty good job as president. Don’t you think there are a lot of people on the other side of that coin as well, even strategy stated here and elsewhere that people “must” vote for Biden even if it’s just to stop Trump?

Again, not saying I disagree, while I have reasons to welcome a Biden second term I wish we had better options than a 2020 rematch, and part of me will absolutely be voting for Biden because a second Trump term terrifies me and will likely mean the end of any semblance of democracy we have left.

The only thing, literally the only thing, that I liked from Win11 over 10 is that it can run x86 apps on ARM - I could play Final Fantasy XI (20+ year old game) on Windows 11 dual-booted from my M1 MacBook Air, when I had one.

It’s a Car-ty in the USA

From an access to information request, I was able to obtain the documents related to the decision to undo the 4-year long WFH decision.

What does this even mean? Information request to who? Are you sure you didn’t just read it in one of the hundreds of reddit or lemmy comments about this?

(although as a kid I ate plenty of raw cookie dough from regular eggs without incident soo…)

Fun fact, the primary danger in uncooked cookie dough isn’t the eggs - it’s the flour. You’re far more likely to get an E.coli infection from uncooked flour than salmonella from uncooked eggs.

Likely because it just forces you to pay attention to what you are consuming. One of the most important parts of eating healthily is just paying attention to what you’re eating.

I remember this being a talking point when he was running against Obama in 2007. It’s not diminished mental faculties to misspeak sometimes. The guy has been a better president than Trump could ever hope to be. It’s bullshit that it’s going to be these two old fucks facing each other again, but it’s the hand we’ve been dealt.

Vote for Biden and then start laying the groundwork for 2028. Democracy doesn’t happen once every four years.

Haha! That sounds like so much fun!

My wife, whose entire history with video games is Sims 3, Animal Crossing: NH, and Pokémon Go, played through this game start to finish and loved it. It wasn’t really made for “gamers”, it was made for Harry Potter fans that wanted to play a Hogwarts game. It didn’t succeed as a gaming revolution, it succeeded in bringing non-gamers to buy it.

Personally, I love that she got into it whether it’s mid or not, because it introduced her to a lot of the mechanics necessary to play “real” games in the future. And she had a lot of fun.
