I’m in this picture and I don’t like it :-D

No, no, you see, it’s actually so empowering for the worker because they can quit at any time with no notice! Isn’t that so empowering! In fact, I almost think that the balance of power goes too far in the workers favor on this and we need to give some of it back to the poor employers who are just always walking on eggshells since they can be quit on at any time!

/s just in case

It’s so insane that anyone can argue that at-will employment is anything other than a shitty employer’s wet dream.

When I installed fdroid from their website a month or two back it was like 2 or 3 clicks. Then whenever I want to install anything from there it’s an extra click or two over what it would be from Play.

I’ve seen people click through way more complicated processes than this without even knowing they did it. Modern computing has taught people to just keep hitting whatever the approval text is (yes windows, I really do want to copy all of these god damn files. Yes, really, I still do! Yep, again, ALL of them!)

I’m a millennial that doesn’t like avocado at all, so, speaking of disgraces!

We managed to get a house, but there are also 3 of us with no kids, I can’t imagine managing with two people in todays economy. We got in just before the rates skyrocketed in 2021, the house price is basically what the inflation calculators say the original owners bought it for decades ago, so, there’s that at least, that we only paid the equivalent of the original list price for a 5-6 decades old house with decades of shoddy repairs such as every single plug with a ground having the ground pin tied to the neutral!

It’s a real rough time out there right now though with ownership out of the realm of possibility for so many :-\

ok, Millennial … look at you over there ::checks notes:: loving the woman you married! What a disgrace!

Seriously though, best of luck through this and hopefully the 1st Amendment is upheld

ETA: Not sure on your age here, was just a joke to play on the boomer ‘wife bad’ stereotype that in my experience is way too accurate.

Regardless of anything else, it’s a medical procedure, your employer shouldn’t be privy to private medical details just because they don’t agree with them. You should be able to get a doctors note that you’re having a procedure, will require time to heal and be done with it, in any reasonable world, but … here we are.

SCOTUS declaring this illegal in 3…2…1!

/S (I hope)

Conversely, maybe she thinks there will be MORE opportunity for $200k speeches if Trump wins!

Same, but for the red ones for me.

In a right to work stste

Some cities and counties have additional protections, but at the state level, the only one that’s not at-will is Montana and the entire population of that state would fit in a single decently sized city. So, I think that’s a distinction that wasn’t really necessary, but you do you.

Aw man! I thought they raced the owls!

No wonder I lost my bet!

To add to what herrcaptain said, her saying that being a Republican in Hollywood was like being a Jew during the Holocost seemed to have been the breaking point.

Before that she also made a lot of tweets making fun of pronouns and such too, but nothing overtly hateful, so she had managed to skate by until she upped the stupidity.

Do you just throw your garbage on the ground so janitors have something to do too? Pat yourself on the back while doing it?

From what I’ve seen: Linus didn’t ever typically rip into first time contributors, it was usually always the people that he either expected better of or people that just kept submitting crap after crap.

Still sucks to be on the receiving end of it though.

From what I understand due to the way that Lemmy handles federation, it doesn’t (currently?) have a way to handle an instance changing its domain name and still being able to communicate or even an individual user changing their instance and retaining their comments/votes/etc… (this might be more ActivityPub limited since the way Mastodon does it still seems pretty hacky and just a work around for underlying issues).

From a website perspective, yeah, just change some settings and you’re good to go and accessible on the web, but that doesn’t mean that anything regarding Lemmy is going to actually work.

Firing the people that do the work to make the company money is just good business! They’re a dime a dozen, just hire another 2 managers and a couple marketing execs and soon you’ll be printing money! /s [these companies are freaking dumb]

It’s crazy what you can get away with when you have some money and no sense!

For the people that don’t want to read the article, this seems especially relevant:
But much has changed since 2022: Embracer, which owns Gearbox, bet the house on a $2 billion deal with a Saudi investment group that fell through in 2023. Ever since, its many, many properties have been hit by layoffs on a near-monthly basis.

When I was a cashier, I’d tell people that and they’d respond that it wouldn’t fill out the carbon copy, so they’d just manually continuing to fill out the check anyways and hold up the line :-\

With the machine filling out the checks, it’s no slower than running a credit/debit card.

It doesn’t map, just makes a bunch of straight lines throughout the room and goes around things it bumps into.

Same, mines like a $40 one from a few years back on black friday. Does it do a great job? No, each individual run is objectively not good and it misses some stuff, but over the course of a week it averages out to pretty freaking great and all I’ve gotta do is empty its bin when I get home from work at least once or twice. 10/10, would recommend and seeing the amount of cat hair its picked up is pretty disgusting.
