PugJesus , in Immigrants Are Becoming U.S. Citizens at Fastest Clip in Years: The government has reduced a backlog of applications that built up during the Trump administration. New citizens look forward to voting

Immigrants are the finest Americans, because they have went above and beyond what those of us who are native-born can do - they have chosen to become Americans. I hope someday we can make a society worth their respect and not their disappointment.

SendMePhotos ,

Oh Jesus Christ that is one hell of a perspective! I have never thought about it like that before.

Milk_Sheikh ,

It’s not cheap either, you gotta WANT it. Between application cost, prerequisite fees, and lawyers for paperwork, it’s common to be out of pocket a few grand.

papertowels ,

Yup, we regularly joke that my non-english speaking immigrant dad is the greatest American who ever lived.

His WeChat account gets regularly suspended/blocked because every day he sends chinese language news published in the US, decrying the censorship that happens there.

SarcasticMan , in Elon Musk draws fire for playing down impact of America’s atomic bombing of Japan: ‘Not as scary as people think’

Elon is like that greasy kid in high school who would correct the History teacher with facts he learned by posting on /pol/. “Actually, the slaves loved being slaves because they got free housing and healthcare.”

Can someone please line his shit ass up against the wall already?

Organized Religion is the root of all evil. As a woman I want a world without religion. please and thank you

teamevil ,

People would find a new evil to worship if given the opportunity.

MissJinx ,
@MissJinx@lemmy.world avatar

tbf they can worship anything they want. My problem is not so much with having faith but with the mass control, kid rape, women killing part of things, that comes from organized religion. When someone gives a dude the power to talk like god it’s never good. Why do people need to have other people teling them how to think all the time?!!! Idiocracy

WhyFlip ,

Organized religion for the most part is a good thing as it tends to control the masses, setting boundaries as to what is right and wrong. Now we have digital pacifiers, the latest means of mass control.

Humans are perfectly capable of dividing themselves into factions and fostering hatred of the other without religion, don’t you worry.

anubis119 , in A Wisconsin Tribe Built a Lending Empire Charging 600% Annual Rates to Borrowers

Reminds me of this old commercial I used to see. I think they got shut down for predatory lending IIRC. youtu.be/xgLMgVq4p_E?feature=shared

billiam0202 ,

I remember those! Also the fine print:

The APR for a typical loan of $10,000 is 89.66% with 84 monthly payments of $743.99.

For the curious, that means you pay

$743.99 x 84 = $62,495.16

How the fuck that commercial aired more than once without any sort of federal intervention boggles the mind.

Another way to look at this is that you’ve linked to an article that necessarily lacks the entire last eight years of context necessary to discuss an article written in 2024. Please, join the rest of us in our current reality if you want to discuss what’s happening now.

AlternatePersonMan , in Texas judge steps aside in Elon Musk's X case against advertisers

I know our courts are corrupt, but I have to believe there is a virtually zero percent chance Musk wins this. Aside from being idiotic, a win would completely break advertising and business in general.

Musk was always a piece of garbage, but I really believe having a billion+ in wealth breaks your brain. He’s just astounded that anyone could cross him and get away with it.

Kolanaki , in Locking up items to deter shoplifting is pushing shoppers online
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

I just bought my own key for those cabinets because even if I order something from my local Walmart for delivery or pickup that is in one of these, they will say it’s sold out even if they have a full shelf of shit.

TrickDacy ,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

You’re claiming they all use the exact same key and also no one sees you on a security camera and kicks you out…? Also they just refuse to sell you things they have but lie about…?

PriorityMotif ,
@PriorityMotif@lemmy.world avatar

They’re shitty wafer locks, you can rake them open in 2 seconds with a random key.

TrickDacy ,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

Lol, so “security through no-one-would-expect-this-stupidity”

PriorityMotif ,
@PriorityMotif@lemmy.world avatar

I think you could get an additional charge for having “lockpicking” tools in some states, so instead of a minor shoplifting charge, it could get enhanced to a felony.

AA5B ,

I always heard it proved intent. Lock picks are not illegal, but if you bring them to a robbery you’ve clearly planned ahead

Kolanaki ,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

You ever work at Walmart? Nobody actively monitors the cameras and the cabinets all use a T-shaped barrel key. Usually only a single employee carries the keys and with the time constraints set by OGP (the team that fills pickup and delivery orders), nobody wants to waste time looking for that person.

TrickDacy ,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

Never worked retail. All this is surprising to me, especially that they’re consistently refusing to sell you in-stock items

cm0002 ,

Having worked in a closely related industry, fast food, none of this is surprising.

When I worked FF I definitely told people the Ice Cream/Shake machine was broken/off/down for cleaning all the time when it was busy because I couldn’t be bothered to deal with it (it’s annoying AF to make shakes and it ALWAYS broke your workflow when you were getting to a good speed)

I’ve also told people we were out of something just because it required me to go to the back because we ran out of what was stocked in front

So yea, if I worked retail and I had to find someone with a key to fulfill a pickup order and I had the ability to simply mark it as out of stock…yea I think you know what action I’d take.

That’s what happens when they pay you the bare minimum. Minimum pay, minimum effort.

TrickDacy ,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

You just validated so many suspicions that I’ve had.

SendMePhotos ,

That is what you call a shit worker. I’ve worked retail and service and was did go in the back when I said I would. I would go dig for the stupid $2 item because customer satisfaction.

Half of those “cameras” are likely fake…
