It’s grammatically correct, afaict.

Maeve ,

It’s funny because it’s true, which makes me incredibly sad. I’m talking about real teachers, who are degreed and actually care about their students.

Maeve ,

Will there be quiche? Vegan is fine.

Maeve ,

Some people can be religious and understand metaphor: some people can be atheist and understand metaphor. Some prime can be religious and interpret religion literally: as can some atheists (eg ” those people believe all the species on earth fit on a boat" when obviously, many religious don’t). I’m reading statements that make good points, either way. Maybe peer review being more stringent would address a lot?

Maeve ,

Animals tend to force sex, as well. Humans call it rape.

In some cases, no consent at all.

Biden administration’s new protections for LGBTQ+ students blocked in 6 more states (www.cnn.com)

The Biden administration cannot enforce new protections for LGBTQ+ students in Ohio, Virginia and four other states, a federal judge ruled Monday, becoming the latest court to rebuff efforts to expand the scope of a decades-old law that prohibits sex-based discrimination....

Maeve ,

In perpetuity. The meager cuts for Joe and Jane average has a ten year maximum.

Maeve ,

It’s supposed to pay reasonable bills and feed, clothes, shelter people and comfort prisoners, but you know…I think we should do that with tax dollars and mutual aid/donations but that’s just me.

Maeve ,

Jesus was a pinko hippie vagrant, what with his transience and homelessness, healing and feeding people for free and quest of all his forgiveness and turning the other cheek. He was also one heck of a magician, multiplying meager food supplies for a few into enough for 5k people and necromancy. I guess healing is magic, the way he did it, though.

Oh and on top of all that, he l didn’t subjugate those of the feminine persuasion and performed most of his miracles for Palestinians, Syrians and other foreigners, crossing borders without legal documentation.

The Jesus of modern religion is just Mammon, in expensive cheap costume, caked on stage makeup and really good lighting.

It’s not in the gospels, but an apostle later said faith without works* is dead. He probably said some abhorrent stuff too, but it’s late and I’m too tired to think.

Maeve ,

I once worked for a multimillionaire who got audited. He did have to sell a bunch of properties, cars and other toys, to pay taxes, interest, and fines, and got ten years in the pen. This was in the nineties, and he was well-liked, but I never* heard, nor heard of, anyone claim it was unfair, including those who benefited from his corruption, except one guy who bought and sold particular high-end products for him who was also audited, and avoided prison, but idk whether he had to pay delinquent taxes, penalties and interest or not.

Maeve ,

Society doesn’t reward intelligence and drive, together or singly. Society rewards mediocrity (make boss look good, not yourself) and undercutting.

Maeve ,

A lot of people aren’t impressed. I’ve seen people who are ten steps ahead while everyone else thinks they are ten steps behind.

Maeve ,

Wow, out and out that it’s 100% okay to sell a marginalized society’s history back to them at a price. What. The. Fuck.

The American way.

Is someone safe if they report income from illegal means to the IRS?

I have seen multiple times on Lemmy that the IRS wants people to report income from illegal means and that they don’t care to bust someone for it. For example, an illicit drug dealer is expected by the IRS to report their drug sale revenue without having to worry about being caught for drug dealing....

Maeve ,

It was the tax man that brought down Capone.

Maeve ,

Or car washes? Night clubs maybe.

Maeve ,

Street preachers?

Maeve ,

Of course!

Maeve ,

Oh?

Maeve ,

American. He’s neoliberal and right wing.

Maeve ,

It’s the most practical tax idea I’ve heard in forty years, tbh.

Maeve ,

You wouldn’t believe how many people think like that, unless it’s the woman caught out.

Maeve ,

It’s probably mostly due to not wanting to pay spousal support and control issues.

Maeve ,

Because it deleted from the cloud, the synced message is already on the device. Once there’s a digital copy, it’s like a carbon physical copy. Just because you shred the white and yellow copy doesn’t mean you’ve shredded the yellow copy in the file cabinet you forgot about.

Maeve ,

Why? My laptop has more storage than my phone. Sometimes I need to save a conversation for future reference, and want photos on my laptop where I have more storage, not on my phone.

Maeve ,

I had to turn it on, but that was a 6s. Currently running android without much storage and I’m loathe to back up to cloud, unless it’s business that doesn’t require extra privacy, but may needed as a reference, later.

Maeve ,

Why can’t we discuss both if both apply?

Maeve ,

There are two people using resources. Should’ve broadened my set, let me revise that now: greed and control issues. Thanks for the catch.

Maeve ,

I chuckled. I think there is deep seated shame of being gay, or soft, in toxic masculinity (and toxic femininity), that people probably go to extremes to hide it. Like being a player, spousal “discipline,” etc. and it gets passed down from generation to generation. But that’s a whole other topic.

Maeve ,

Well it worked with me, because I paid it.

Maeve ,

Interesting note in this mint sauce recipe.

Maeve ,

“just am unfortunate accident.” How do you not see people on the beach?

Maeve ,

Understood from reading, but he should have seen something from a distance. Did he forget? Not care? Was looking at something else? Hard agree with no trucks on the beach. An ATV or some sort is sufficient.

Top EU Court Says There’s No Right To Online Anonymity, Because Copyright Is More Important (www.techdirt.com)

The key problem is that copyright infringement by a private individual is regarded by the court as something so serious that it negates the right to privacy. It’s a sign of the twisted values that copyright has succeeded on imposing on many legal systems. It equates the mere copying of a digital file with serious crimes that...

MAC addresses serious have to be spoofed.

Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI (arstechnica.com)

Microsoft is pivoting its company culture to make security a top priority, President Brad Smith testified to Congress on Thursday, promising that security will be “more important even than the company’s work on artificial intelligence.”...

It would take ripping apart and rewriting hundreds of thousands of lines of source code, if not millions. Not just bloat from one off bright ideas, that led to the next bright ideas, but the deliberate obsfucation to protect proprietary code, in more instances than I can imagine. I’m not a programmer, so I could be wrong, obviously, but from my admittedly limited perspective, they’d be better off writing a whole new OS without all the built-in garbage nobody wants.

Maeve ,

That’s all week and good for the minority of jobs that didn’t cling to it like a codependent partner.

Maeve ,

It wasn’t even Bill’s software iirc.

Maeve ,

That’s … TFW words aren’t enough and too much, at once.

Maeve ,

100% agree. I follow a few content creators who include a Cash App or Paypal information in the description box. They don’t demand cash** because they do it for the love of what they do, and don’t demand subscriptions or anything else. If I have an extra dollar, I send it. I’m guessing this either isn’t their only revenue stream or do well enough that it is. If everyone who is appreciative would do a dollar or few donations, maybe it is a livble wage, with or without youtube’s payment?

Maeve ,

Jean Luc just died a little, inside.

Maeve ,

Yes it does. I just gave a tfal stainless skillet to a buddy who complained he’d burned his no-stick up, by falling asleep while cooking on low (obviously I can’t vouch for the veracity of this). He cooked once in it and promptly burned food onto it and bought a cheap, non-stick electric skillet. He has the funds to afford better, too.

I hung on to my well -seasoned cast iron.

Maeve ,

Reverse osmosis, which wastes a lot.

Maeve ,

Neolibs can’t countenance that their darling politicians are actually right of Nixon, let alone admit it.

Maeve ,

I remember users on another platform went into full rage mode when I said the stock market was just legalized gambling, telling me how SAFE!!! IT IS IF YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!>

Okay. Black Friday and Too Big to Fail only happened in my dreams.

Workers at TJ Maxx and Marshalls are wearing police-like body cameras. Here’s how it’s going (www.cnn.com)

Retail chains like TJX, the parent company of TJ Maxx and Marshalls, are equipping some store employees with body cameras to deter shoplifting and improve safety. This is part of a growing trend in the retail industry, as stores respond to an increase in organized retail theft and violence against workers. However, some...

Maeve ,

Can’t have people who can’t afford to eat actually eat? This is sad, and it doesn’t bode well, for global society.

Maeve ,

They do follow certain people around who may or not be of certain demographic representation.

Maeve ,

Hearsay has it it’s been found in the Southeastern seaboard as well.
