I’ll allow it on the basis of it being funny.

The one security dude I see standing by the door in some US grocery stores isn’t kitted out like this. The difference is the level of violence they’re prepared for.

This looks like an archived link to the front page of Gizmodo? I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be seeing here.

❌ “Yeah they’re given their contract to an other company” <- this is defeatist and invites doing nothing

✅ ‘This is great, we can build on this momentum and pursue the city council to make sure no other companies get a contract to do the same thing!’ <- recognizes the win, gives direction for more action

If you want to actually know what position I hold about something you can ask instead of making things up about what you assume I must think because I… disapprove of using an explicitly uplifting community to shit on a genuine accomplishment. Please get some perspective.

‘This is fake and you accomplished nothing’ is definitely a great way to get people to engage meaningfully and long term, I totally agree.

Nobody on lemmy is ever going to know what actions I do or do not take outside of voting and legal protest, and anyone baiting you into posting more is a fed.

Having a win doesn’t mean you’re done fighting forever. That is called winning the war.

Shitting on every win sure does a great job of discouraging future action, though.

I am begging lemmy to learn how to take a win.

When I visited a place in Central America this was what the grocery store looked like. Although the guards probably had a lot less authority to just kill anyone, and their faces were uncovered.

Lmao. Whatever makes you feel better. Would like to know how calling someone a traitor doesn’t involve throwing them under the bus, how criticizing you for making shit up is MAGA, or why you need to tag someone you blocked, but I guess someone else will have to do it.

She was a college student doing sex work, he wasn’t introduced to her by name and title. She says she didn’t recognize him until later and I have no reason to disbelieve her.

Plus, if you bother to read the article, she has been trying to speak out about this for over a decade.

Because this is not the first time I’ve actually talked about this. I’ve talked about this at least five or six times over the last 11 years. And every other time that I have tried to bring it up, I’ve either been silenced, shut down or no one really takes it seriously and they just think I’m lying or I’m making something up. But now that the late senator has passed away, it’s like now everyone cares.

Being that ready to throw a trans woman under the bus based on a bunch of shit you imagined isn’t a great look.

Goddamn, an 80/20 split is pretty big. I’m sure there have been bigger, but I can’t imagine that many.

Making people see that Republicans don’t want this is as much a strategy as trying to pass the bill itself. ‘Only try to pass legislation if you know it will pass’ is why Senate Democrats are weak babies who are more concerned with getting along with their Republican colleagues than playing the game.

What did you think the P stood for?

Wow, I wasn’t expecting mislabeled and dad is maneless 😂 Thanks for the links, I wonder if lions are smart enough to have their self esteem affected by it or if he’s just sitting there enjoying the breeze on his noggin

The cubs’ father, Khari, pictured with one of the cubs, was the last African Lion to be born at the zoo

Dad‘s either maneless or this is miscaptioned.

To me they look too dark to be mosquito larvae and aren’t quite moving the way larvae would (jerky sudden motions). It’s hard to tell with the video quality though

Only poll likely voters and you’ve already accepted you’re not getting new votes. You just finished saying how important it was to bring new people in, but you think a candidate’s popularity among the overall voting eligible population is irrelevant?

Is ‘this one poll found AOC is tied with Ossof’ supposed to convince me that he’s actually the better candidate? Am I supposed to be giving him extra credit for being a white man?

Yeah man, I psychically divined those details about violations that are in the article but not the headline. You got me.

‘Business broke a code so the state government must be completely innocent’ is a ridiculous way to be acting in this day and age in a state that went to Trump both times he won the presidency.

Do you think the town near where I lived didn’t also have justifications for what they did? Do you think they’re going to put in writing “you can’t have a liquor license because we don’t like your anti-Trump social media posts”? If they moved on these violations faster than other businesses with similar violations, that can be used as evidence of prejudice and targeting on the basis of political speech.
