The studios are just going to keep doing this as using streaming services as a loss leader has failed them, so please, support the strike.

Alexstarfire , in White supremacist accused of threatening jury and witnesses in trial of Pittsburgh synagogue gunman

“self proclaimed white supremacist” They are getting real brazen. But maybe it’s better when they don’t try to hide. Easier to avoid and dismiss.

chunkystyles ,

I disagree. When people are openly fascist, it makes it more acceptable to be fascist. They should be scared. They should be timid and afraid. They should be paranoid to congregate with their kind.

Bash the fash.

I searched his name. There's lots of pics of him out there. He's not trying to hide ... he likes the fame. Although that might change if he does 2+ years in jail.

Yeah… Being asked to defend the pro-pedophilia position of your company may be a sign that you should quit. Or be the guy who defended pedophiles in parliament. I dunno.

I hate to break it to them, but I’d wager 80% or more of qualifying MH calls come through outside those hours

canthidium , in Dog abandoned at Pittsburgh airport after owner learns it needs crate to fly
@canthidium@lemmy.world avatar

I couldn’t imagine just leaving my dog there because I didn’t have a crate. If my dogs are with me, and they can’t fly, then I can’t fly. Pisses me off how some people treat animals. My dogs are my whole world. If you do something like this you should be blacklisted from every owning a dog again.

AttackBunny ,

Yes, I’m in 100% agreement, I wish we could treat people how they treat animals.

That aside, the article says it’s a license French bulldog. Those fuckers are EXPENSIVE. I can’t imagine just ditching thousand of dollars like that (morality of it aside).

canthidium ,
@canthidium@lemmy.world avatar

Oh no, I missed that part. Jeez, someone has more money than they know what to do with. Money makes some people so shitty. Not that they weren’t before, but seems like it really brings it out of some people.

Also, if you’ve got that kind of money surely you can find someone to bring a crate or take the dog elsewhere.

Enkers ,

Based. Stick cattle farmers in feedlots when they’re 4 and slaughter them at 8. Macerate all the male chicken farmers.

aeternum , (edited )

eh, dairy cows are slaughtered at 4-6, and they're the oldest animals to be slaughtered. Most animals are MONTHS or WEEKS old. not years.

Also, male chicks are macerated (mashed up alive) at just one to two hours old, because they're "useless". THey won't ever lay eggs, and they won't grow big enough to be worth it for meat chickens, so they're mashed up alive at a few hours. This is what you support when you support animal ag.

Name021 ,

I support animal agriculture and I love eating chicken nuggets.

Enkers ,

Yeup. IIRC, cattle are generally killed for their flesh from 1-2 years old, or about 5-10% of their natural lifespan. I was just saying 4-8 years for humans to be a more relatable comparison.

I live in a college town. Several of our dogs came from the shelter, one of them was found in an empty apartment. Her owner moved and just left her, probably assumed someone would take her to the shelter.

It’s apparently pretty common around here. Luckily someone found her, but some of these apartments don’t immediately have a new tenant and the dog dies.

I just can’t imagine doing this. Our dogs are part of the family.

partial_accumen ,

one of them was found in an empty apartment. Her owner moved and just left her,

So a warrant for animal abuse was issued for her arrest, yes? If she was a college student she may be gone for years, but it would be great if she were to be arrested when she returns for her 10 year reunion.

amnesiacrobat ,
@amnesiacrobat@lemmy.world avatar

I can’t comment since I didn’t find her, only got her from the shelter, but I sure hope so. She’s an amazingly sweet dog too so that just breaks my heart even more for her. At least she’s in good hands now.

aeternum ,

You should see how they treat animals in animal agriculture!

FlashMobOfOne , in Abortion rights have won in every election since Roe v. Wade was overturned
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

It doesn’t matter.

Democrats are never going to kill the golden goose. The Roe leak alone made them $80,000,000 in contributions. Being anti-choice accomplishes the same objective for Republicans: lots and lots of money, money that candidates can legally pay themselves by making loans to their campaigns at 20% interest.

They had their chance when Obama had a supermajority.

They took Pharma money instead. They left for-profit health care in place because it helped them stay rich. They do not give a fuck about any of us.

Kalkaline ,
@Kalkaline@programming.dev avatar

Which is why I vote as progressive as possible in the primaries.

mosiacmango ,

That wasent the main issue.

Senator Kennedy died and Obama lost his seat to a republican. It came down to Senator Lieberman, who was deep in insurance company pockets, as several were headquartered in his state. He killed single payer, not obama.

Obamas fuck up was doing things “the right way” by negotiating with the GOP for nearly a year, only to have every single one of them vote nea. His second fuck up was waiting until the special election of Kennedy’s replacement was over instead of just going ham and forcing a vote.

His third and more esoteric fuck up for single payer was years later, when he did not decalre that the senate had opted to abandon its right to “affirm and assent” a supreme court justice, and just flat out seat Justice Merrick, forcing a constitutional crisis that would have most likely resolved in locking down that seat.

So yes, big pharma was a big part of the fuck you that happened , but it wasn’t as simple as “obama big pharma buddy buddy.”

girlfreddy ,
@girlfreddy@mastodon.social avatar

@FlashMobOfOne @Kalkaline

Doing things by the rules is a messy process. Obama ran his Presidency by the rules, yet was often blocked from doing good things.

Maybe check out the GOP shenanigans pulled to subvert Obama rather than simply blame him for what Republicans did.

FlashMobOfOne , (edited )
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Obama ran his Presidency by the rules, yet was often blocked from doing good things.

He had a supermajority long enough to get anything done.

Fuck the excuses. He chose to get rich instead.

If anything, these times demand a president who no longer gives a shit about Senate rules.

girlfreddy ,

Hate to tell you but he was rich before he ran cause both he and his wife are lawyers. So greed is off the table.

Got anything else?

LOL at the downvotes.

So, so many voters in absolute denial here. We could have real change if the 49% that votes Democrat voted Green instead. The Greens would actually try to get you legal abortion at the federal level, too.

I’d just like to sit in on the closed door leadership meetings where they admit they think Paul masterfully hijacked the gospels and grew Christianity into a tool for oppression. Then divise ways to fuck over their own congregations.

partial_accumen , in New school bus route is a 'disaster,' Kentucky superintendent admits. Last kids got home at 10 pm

Even after increasing pay

Hmm, so what did they increase it to? Oh look only $20.65/hour., and I’ve heard of some school districts only paying during the driving meaning you show up for work early AM to pick up your bus as a driver and start being paid. You pick up and drop off kids for your routes. Now its maybe 9am. No more pay for you until you go back to the school and pick kids up again to take them home at maybe 2pm. I don’t know if this district does this, BTW.

$20.65/hour is way WAY too low for a job with lots of unpaid hours in the middle of the shift, and having to be responsible and deal with kids that can’t behave enough on a school bus.

IphtashuFitz ,

Unless the bus company let me drive somewhere else since I’m not being paid then I’d be filing wage complaints with the state department of labor…

RavenFellBlade ,
@RavenFellBlade@startrek.website avatar

From experience, there is nothing preventing you from leaving, except that anything you do has to be close enough to the bus lot and meticulously scheduled to allow for you to drive from the bus lot to where you need to be and back while also allowing any prep time, especially if you need to pretrip your bus.

In other words, in theory, you can do whatever you want. In practice, you’re straight up tethered to that lot. I worked out my actual pay last year. I made $22/hrs working for a major national transportation service. My average paid time was about 6.5 hours. My layover time was two separate segments. I had 2.5 hours of driving in the AM, about 1.5 in the late AM, and another 2.5 in the PM. These were separate by 2 hours, and then 2.5 hours. So, the reality of this schedule meant that I couldn’t do much of anything on my downtime. I was obligated to 11 hours, only 6.5 of which I was paid. So, the reality was that I was making $13/hr. That math convinced me not to return this year. That, and my shit benefits caused me to get a $1,400 lab bill for work that was only $45 on my previous insurance. They screw you. They screw you coming, they screw you going, and anything that goes wrong is always your fault, while they’re quick to take credit when things go well.

It ain’t worth it.

We were one of the places nailed with Fiona last year, not looking forward to another potentially active hurricane season, many still haven’t fully recovered from last year.
