his defense and his followers call for an mistrial on bias.

They will anyway. Is this really the hill we are going to die on? After 8(?) years of this shit are we really going to keep spouting this rhetoric?

Trump has proven that he intends to keep violating gag orders. So it is not only clean but perfectly within the judicial systems legal power to imprison him. There's no need to build a case here. Just do it.

Someone who relates to employers as though they were benevolent would be incorrect in the case against unions though? Unions have shown to be nearly universally beneficial to the workers that participate in them. That is not my opinion. That is verifiable fact.

If a company was strictly benevolent as you've claimed then why contest the union? Why negotiate terms at all? Just hear what the employees en mass want and sign your name on the dotted line. The fact that this does not happen, and we constantly see company's hire law firms to bust the unions or otherwise drag their feet to apply changes to company structure upon reaching a compromise is objectively evidence that the company is not benevolent.

If unions didn't work then there would not be unions.

That's funny because anytime I hear Kyle's cousin Kyle from south park it reminds me of Boston lmao

Are you trying to say that these videos work because most people do not know the truth?

If that's your point then I agree. But it sounds kinda like you're implying that everyone already knows unions are good and for that reason we should stop saying that they are. Which is patently false.

Only way he wins is if half the country stays home.

I don't have any reported statistics to back up my claims but I am fairly confident that 2020 saw an unprecedented turnout specifically because people were able to bolster their friends and family to go vote against Trump. Notably not for Biden. If I'm right then it's not so much Trump getting more votes but Biden getting less that's the worry

I'm thinking Dem turnout is going to be a lot lower this year just because of the general feeling of apathy around so many people of voting age. They won't want to get peer pressured again by their friends and family. God knows the 4-5 people I convinced to go in 2020 have made it clear that they dont care for Biden and won't want to vote for his second term.

I think if the Dems throw up a younger, more relatable candidate you'd be right on the money. But you know.. Something something snatching defeat from the Jaws of victory

It's a food item and a day of the week.

Yeah, "super bowl" also shouldn't be trade marked, It's far too generalized to be reasonable. Zoidberg should be as that is a character in a show and should be claimed by the creators with exception given to people whom have that name in real life referring to their own products.

I'm lovin' it also shouldn't be trademarked. It's literally just an expression of joy.

I don't get why this has to be a difficult concept. McDonald's didn't create anything new. The NFL didn't fabricate the concept of extraordinary dishware. It is absolutely nonsense that anyone with enough money and influence can just choose a couple pre-existing words out of the English language and claim ownership.

Which ones cyborg

Ehhhh there's pros and cons to that. r/all on any given day is just bots karma farming off eachother with maybe 1 or 2 good posts mixed in alongside the occasionally genuinely interesting news article, which obviously sucks.

But on the other side there is a TON of threads from the past decade that I know I still read once in a while and I'm sure others do too. Hell just yesterday I was looking for some info on mettalurgy and found a reddit thread where some guy asked my exact question and got good answers like 5 years ago. Having those be more accessible would be great... Plus a lot of niche communities are unfortunately just too small on Lemmy to produce the level of content they do on Reddit

That guy is obviously exaggerating for effect and you are technically correct, but he's not wrong.

Companies like Inuit and H&R Block have been lobbying for ages to keep the free file forms ridiculously overcomplicated, difficult to navigate/complete, and dangerously generalized to the point where if you mis-interpret a line on one of your several non-intuitively named financial forms you will be committing tax fraud

It is objectively easier, safer, and more convenient to file taxes through one of these private companies and the is by design.

Abortion is a sin

Abortion doesn't have anything to do with the church

🤔

I mean I'm no expert but I do have some knowledge on the subject.

The difference is how you injest it. Our stomachs are much more resilient than our lungs. Your stomach is, for all intents and purposes, a sac of acid that dissolves mostly anything you put in it, your lungs on the other hand literally only do 1 thing all day and it's breathe air. There are different qualities of air of course, and microparticles in it that could cause harm, but on the whole it's more or less all the same.

Its like dumping garbage into a sink vs. a paper bag. The sink will get disgusting, and you may end up with a clogged drain, messed up pipes, or worse. But at the end of the day if you just clean the mess and don't do it too often it will probably be fine. The paper bag on the other hand is gonna get Soggy, gross, and start falling apart in your hands. You can dry it out but it will never quite be the same..

Younger folks in there late 20s older ones early 40s?

Meaning that the older half of the generation didn't have internet access at all hours of the day during their childhood since home computers were a rarity until the mid nineties and those were generally shared with the whole family. Vs. Personal devices with internet access (first smartphones, Gen 1 Ipods, cheaper and more common home computers) which Gen Z children en mass have had since the early 2000s, which is when the oldest Gen Z'ers were 5-6.

There is Grey area in the few years where the generations changed and it's basically indistinguishable but don't even try to make the argument that someone born in 1986 had the same childhood as someone born in 2000

You know a substantial number of Zoomers are not teenagers and haven't been for many years yeah?

I'm not sure why it has to be a controversial take that the first generation to grow up with unfettered internet access and subsequently the most awareness of any and every global crisis, has a disproportionately large number of people with anxiety disorders. It's not like it's all or nothing either, you can have mild-moderate anxiety and still have a diagnosable disorder

To be fair I feel like college is way less about teaching you anything specific and way more about teaching you critical thinking and abstract conceptualization.

Like I didn't learn jack shit from my "American economical development in the 14th century" class but I did genuinely get good at telling good sources from bad ones while writing essays, and that IS a skill that has uses in life

I FUCKING LOVE POINTLESS MIDNIGHT ANXIETY! ISN'T IT SO FUNNY HOW BEING HOME ALONE CAN BE SO COMFORTABLE UNTIL IT'S 1AM AND YOUR PARTNER IS SLEEPING NEXT TO YOU AND YOU GET A COMPLETELY NONSENSICAL FEELING OF DREAD THAT YOU WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE IF THERE WAS A BREA-IN? HAHAHA HA SO FUNNY THANKS ANXIETY!

Tbf most conservatives probably haven't played BG3 or know much of anything about it/forgotten realms. They aren't exactly the target audience

I can't speak for that guy but I personally agree these people should be portioned as well

He bought several, if anything this is less about antagonizing the US and more of an open application

I'm not denying it's impact on modern gaming, I'm just saying it's old. Like it certainly deserves a spot in the gaming hall of fame but it doesn't really stack up against more modern RPGs. Technology is moving forward and so should games, yet Bethesda is so stuck on Skyrim they have refused to innovate for a comically long time

I mean I'm gonna have to agree with the guy though. Skyrim was all but earth shattering.. In 2011. Have you tried playing it recently? It feels old and repetitive. There is obviously still some fun to be had and some memorable bits but on the whole it's just outdated plain and simple.

I think the vast majority of enjoyment people derive from it is nostalgia driven which I can totally respect, but that only lasts for like 4-5 hours once a year tops. I feel like a new player who never touched it in the golden years would likely get bored fast
