How does public facing statements make trans people vulnerable? Legislation is the power of legislators.

Being quiet about an issue during the campaign makes little difference if they are supportive in office.

Being strategically quiet during a campaign is a good strategy, if only they were smart enough to use it on even more divisive issues, like the genocide.

Pride month. It should be a federal holiday.

Get an old color laser printer, that is not aimed at the home market. Get whatever boring printer box your local library has. Toner stores very well, and it takes almost a decade for a normal person to print an office sized amount of toner.

To do that you will need a separate scanner. Most desktop printer/scanners are aimed at home users where they do much more of the, “cannot scan low magenta.”

But who enforces the decisions made by councils? Are they chosen by lottery too?

Why is it beamed to the metre instead of the lyrics? Is that a modern thing? I only work with old music and its always beamed to the text.

Sex work is a more respectable career than debt collector, or CEO.

Going around the earth in 3 hours would require you to travel at 11 times the speed of sound, and that is without including the time it would take to accelerate or slow down.

The concorde flew at a maximum speed of twice the speed of sound. It would take the concorde 18h30m to fly around the world if it had enough fuel to do it.

Supersonic travel has some major issues. It takes a huge amount of energy to go that fast. Concorde could only cross the atlantic ocean, because it didn’t have enough fuel to cross the pacific. The other issue is sonic booms, which means you can’t fly supersonic over populated areas, like land.

Maglevs have the same issue as all other high-speed overland transport, it requires expensive infrastructure to be built the entire route. The faster you want to go, the flatter, smoother and more expensive the track will be to build.

Supersonic air is more plausible as it only requires a faster airplane. With wealth inequality, there are rich people who can afford their own supersonic plane, but an infrastructure project to build a global maglev network is far more expensive than that.

The olympics let literal nazis host the games, this is entirely on brand for them.

I bought an old business monochrome laser printer ten years ago. Still hasn’t needed a new toner cartridge.

Under because that way you can model it by making a cylinder and adding a plane to it, because the plane is attached to the back you don’t have to do the extra work of making sure the textures line up.

If the us supported the two state solution, they wouldn’t have vetoed Palestine’s UN membership.

They use a cold silicon gel that sets from your body heat to make the molds. It is an interesting expierence having a cold viscous gel squeezed into your ears.

That’s a strange response when they claim they don’t recognize the court.

Either sign on to the agreement and file a motion in opposition, or refuse to recognize the court and ignore it, like a responsible adult.

They are acting like a baby having a temper tantrum. Grow up.

When american companies gutted american manufacturing to outsource those jobs to china, they did nothing to stop it. Apparently there was nothing wrong with any of what china does when it benefits american companies.

But now china has their own companies, now the profits from chinese business will stay in china, so they do a trade war.

This trade war with china is entirely driven by corruption and racism.

I made the mistake of buying an ebook once. I will never make that mistake again.

Fuck drm forever. Physical only. I will never pay for a file I can’t even open using my normal document viewer.

Healthcare in the US is run for profit. From 2020 estimates, they charge $1.6 million for a heart transplant. $1.3 million to transplant a pair of lungs, $880 thousand for a liver, and $440 thousand for a kidney. This is what for profit hospitals charge patients while giving your next of kin nothing for the organs that made it possible.

They don’t pay you for your organs. They will still bill your estate for any care other than the organ removal despite your generosity.

I would happily be an organ donor in a country with a non-profit healthcare system. But because of how heathcare is run in this country, I would rather my organs be left to rot.

First check its plugged in. Then check the power supply is turned on. Then check that the power button is connected to the motherboard.

It’s probably something dumb keeping your PC from working. You probably were worried about the memory or CPU so you paid attention. It’s the trivial things that are missed.

The first paragraph is autobiographical. I messed all those up on my first attempt. :-/

So what would stop them from shadow profiling you by scraping content, or using a different domain? Most lemmy instances are configured to federate with a blocklist, meaning any unblocked instance can download data. Facebook can just make an instance under a different domain and download the data that way. Or they can just scrape user data from the web facing interface.

Posts and comments on lemmy are public. If facebook wants your publicly accessible data from the fediverse, de-federating from threads isn’t going to stop them.

the us has two right wing parties

its fascism

Whether it is legal to distribute that key does not depend on which platform is distributing it.
