We live at a time of artificial plenty and everyone’s stressed. It literally doesn’t have to be a bad thing, either. We don’t judge people who take on prestigious corporate jobs that will by nature make them more stressed and worn down. They get money, 75% of us get to eat tasty food and treats.

before anyone says ACHSKULLY The prESidEnT doEsn’t HAve Any auThOritY to StoP tHIS, yes they do. they’re a politician. negotiate. presidents break the law all the time.

THE SAVIOR HAS RISEN

GOD BLESS KING TRUKMP

all animals are waaay more aware than we realize (or can bear to realize), but it’s going to take forever to officially prove because we have to start from the place of them needing to prove that they:

may also have an internal awareness of their own bodies

i don’t get why people complain about this – i’d so so much rather type my order in myself, see what’s in everything, make modifications easily, etc without having to talk to someone. get those workers on the line and help ease the load on the kitchen

he sounded awful, practically as bad as the debate. absolute shambles of a man, i’d feel sad if i could. he’s a stubborn, angry old man who can’t face reality.

can’t get a fucking job because they’re allowed to demand your piss and inspect it

oh well that seems like such an elegant system, thank god it’s working so well. let’s keep defending it.

since this country has such a long evil and stupid history there are probably more documents you could pull out against this, rather than just being normal and evaluating the law on ‘does it seem normal or moral to ban this’ like a human fucking being would. almost like ConStITuTUiOnALiTy is a dumb fucking way validate the law.

oh and what, at least half of these guys are outlandishly corrupt but still get to sit there?

just send out little ballots in the mail for every case instead of relying on these scum, jesus.

so why can’t anybody do anything? why does he still get to wear the robe and have such a say in the world? maybe the good guys should start breaking rules as well to get things done since the right has already established that precedent. they’re not gonna just start playing nice because the democrats are.

lmao it’s unempathetic to say people should be able to say goodbye to loved ones. covid was spreading everywhere anyway! if that hugely meaningful interaction didn’t get them infected, work or school or the gas station or a hotel or a restaurant would the next day anyway.

to be fair the pandemic handling did fucking suck and ruin lives. there were stories about how people couldn’t say goodbye to dying relatives because of “distancing rules” (which the Washington Post confirmed were basically picked out of thin air, obviously) which is just blatantly inhumane and obviously careless. you’re not building public trust or respect with rules like that. i’d happily get covid if i could say goodbye to my mom before she dies, fuck you.

why doesn’t this result in immediate repeal of the legislation if this comes out??

only some? i was in fifth grade worrying about getting a job and how i’d stay alive otherwise. we need FDR back god fucking dammit. give us another WPA.

In one of its most famous projects, Federal Project Number One, the WPA employed musicians, artists, writers, actors and directors in arts, drama, media, and literacy projects.[1] The five projects dedicated to these were the Federal Writers’ Project (FWP), the Historical Records Survey (HRS), the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), the Federal Music Project (FMP), and the Federal Art Project (FAP). In the Historical Records Survey, for instance, many former slaves in the South were interviewed; these documents are of immense importance to American history. Theater and music groups toured throughout the United States and gave more than 225,000 performances. Archaeological investigations under the WPA were influential in the rediscovery of pre-Columbian Native American cultures, and the development of professional archaeology in the US.

i haven’t gotten fast food regularly in years (only once this year, trip to taco bell, feelin a bit proud tbh), but i have been lucky enough to WFH for a lot of that. when you’re starving and want something you just want it, even if it’s overpriced garbage. i dread the day of having to work an office job again.

what really pisses me off is the psychological manipulation: these companies think they can just rewire our brains with their dogshit marketing. ohh $3 is actually fair for 1 hashbrown. there was never a ““dollar menu””. they don’t even list the damn prices on their website like a normal restaurant. it’s so fucking shady and dishonest, the whole damn thing, the gray prison architecture, taking away the soda fountains from customers (and making the kitchen people worry about drinks as well). it’s so so fucking sick. WE’RE the ones suffering, they’re the ones looking at graphs and DESIGNING our suffering. they don’t have to pinch pennies, they don’t have to pinch shit. fuck mcdonal i CANNOT wait to see them fall.

condemned breaking the law

really novel stuff here. thank god we have a competent president there to say breaking the law is bad

also

We can never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was “legal” and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was “illegal.” It was “illegal” to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler’s Germany. But I am sure that if I had lived in Germany during that time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers even though it was illegal. If I lived in a Communist country today where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I believe I would openly advocate disobeying these anti-religious laws.

[serious] why are there so many ‘moderate’ biden stans on this site (not you, but generally)? i thought lemmy was the sort of leftist reddit alternative

this is what always makes me insane. police presence inherently increases tension because oh now here’s a gang of jackbooted thugs with guns and tasers and the power to ruin your life and/or murder you and get away with it, just hangin out. just tryna keep people safe.

i mean that shit must only work on the boomeriest boomers, right? that would only help at a particularly rowdy Kenny Chesney concert

i’m pretty sure trans people have a longer and richer history than mormons as well

even assuming the truth of the idea that it’s good for children to have jobs, do they have to be cruelest and most grueling upton-sinclair ass jobs you can find? at least adults can drink after a long shift at the meat processing factory. kids should be working the register at a movie theater or something. also i can’t imagine a small child is as efficient at cleaning out vats of blood as an adult would be
