$1 $2 per month is expensive? 🤣

[edit: I can’t do simple math]

Yeah this is what the Republicans failed to understand is that elections are there to convince the losers to step aside… without a bloody civil war. All of Trump’s election denialism basically ensures bloodshed. 😔

This feels so weird to me. I don’t know anyone who has used SMS for communication in many years.

I don’t like the implication that people working for non-profits should make less money than people working for for-profit companies.

If a network engineer makes $130k at a non-profit versus $140k at a for-profit, they are effectively donating $10k a year to the cause. Very few people making $130k are donating $10k a year.

Yes, there are always more efficient and cheaper ways to work, but forcing non-profits to grind and answer and defend every penny spent just makes them shitty places to work on top of the financial hit the employees are taking. 😔

Those answers can be used to convict you. Don’t say anything!

For real. US history is replete with supporting dictators, military coups, and so on.

That sucks. A miscarriage is basically losing a baby, if you’ve been thinking about it like one. I still think about life with the son that my wife and I lost in a miscarriage.

I got Caves of Qud on sale over at itch.io, and have been struggling to get anywhere. The learning curve is steep, so when it gets too much I go back to my Dwarf Fortress game that I started over Christmas.

I almost never pause. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You’re never going to get public transport to every street corner. It can always be better, but honestly having big sections of green without streets running through them is a good idea, not something to plan away…

Maoz falafel is still awesome!

Amsterdammers hate public transport.

I had an English friend who learned to bicycle. It opens the city up in ways that are not possible with even great public transport.

For example, the Vondelpark goes roughly east/west for some distance. Crossing that north/south by bicycle takes a few minutes. Crossing by public transport means going around it, basically.

Some cyclists ignore lights and crosswalks, like some pedestrians. But overall it basically works. Just look left and right before stepping into a street and you’ll probably be fine.

God literally says that he is a jealous god in The Bible. Hardly beyond emotion!

I love how the fact checker rules the original post false… because there are fewer homeless people and more homes than the original Facebook post? Meaning that the waste is even more egregious than claimed? 🤔

This is probably partially true, but some of those apartments are closer than some of those parking spaces. 😆

This is why it’s important to work for class consciousness and worker solidarity. Look for ways that management and capital tries to divide us and point them out to your peers!

If you ask Americans about socialist policies without mentioning parties or ideology, then they overwhelmingly support them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

From the study:

Between 2015 and 2019, following discussions between public sector employers and trade unions, Iceland saw two major public sector trials of a shorter working week for no loss in pay.

The article is unclear, but the introduction on the study says:

Between 2015 and 2019, following discussions between public sector employers and trade unions, Iceland saw two major public sector trials of a shorter working week for no loss in pay.

I’m learning Chinese now and it seems to have a similar change in pitch as European languages when asking a question. 你说汉语吗？
