I’m aware that, at the moment, Florida is deemed unsafe for people to travel to, but what is generally the worst state to live in? Factors such as education, religious extremism, crime, cost of food, healthcare, and access to other resources are relevant. Will “Deep South” states remain one of the worst places to live in...
i just left austin because it’s becoming an increasingly facist shithole because anyone with above room temperature iq in austin knows that the state will continue to do everything in its power to reign in austin so they leave; like i did.
the only gem in that place is houston and that is a much bigger target in the texas government’s eyes than austin ever was.
there are holdouts and they will continue to hold out; ineffectually and pointlessly struggling for the rest of their lives.
The seven-months-pregnant officer reported contraction-like pains at work, but said she wasn’t allowed to leave for hours. The anti-abortion state is fighting her lawsuit, in part by saying her fetus didn’t clearly have rights.
i didnt bother to read it because texas does whatever it wants and only the federal gov’t can give this woman a reprieve of any kind; but so long as that ass hat biden is in charge; nothing will happen.
Biden is a long term establishment politician w a recorded history of racist, homophobic, and classist behavior that he’s on record of still being proud about despite it no longer being politically popular. He’s a Democrat, so liberals will refuse to believe the reality of his political beliefs and he also he won’t shake the boat and force the rich to take action.
Trump is a clueless dumbass whose foolish actions as president forced the rich to react and that’s the sole reason I’ve been employed since 2017.
Both suck but only one doesn’t try hard to falsify his racist, homophobic, and classist beliefs and also only one will openly shake the trees of his enemies to see what falls out and Biden is neither; which is why trump is very slightly better.
I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?
The Fediverse is undeniably very left leaning currently, which is surprising to me since you’d think the anti-censorship design on paper would appeal more to people on the right who are against big tech and censorship, but I guess not? It’s interesting.
american conservatives care more about denying rights and liberties than anything else as evidenced by their leaders and publicly shared platforms; so if you believe that censorship has anything to do w it, you’re not a conservative.
yes, it’s the definition of privilege since most don’t have that privilege and i’ve recently become a member to that privileged class (for now atleast); which is how i can recognize it.
i also do software and i was in austin and left a couple of weeks ago because i’m not cishet nor white but still experienced enough bigotry (especially from gay texans) that it was impacting my psyche, so i had to leave and i feel sorry for whomever is like me but is stuck there because of something as silly as not having the opportunity to do software.

it depends on the carrier; (ime) most of the ones in north america use some kind packet encapsulation technique to find out if you request originated from a phone and auto reject it.

it’s clearly a need and like other clear needs in this country (eg health insurance) it’ll continue to get ignored until it sparks some sort of revolution or our country’s owners figure out to perpetually put it off like health insurance
Police in Montgomery issued four arrest warrants for individuals involved in a massive brawl between white boaters and a Black dock employee at Riverfront Park.
Boot camps and training programs are popular, but the bar to professionally practicing programming is artificially high and it will remain a nich so long as that bar remains artificially high.
Both are true and there’s a difference between doing fine and excelling
I prefer Lemmy’s slant towards technology-related news, and polite discussion in earnest without painfully unfunny “and my axe” responses.
I used to think so also; but Red Hat’s earth shaking move to stop sharing its source w the public was a non-event in all of the fediverse instances I could find. I missed it’s since I don’t do Reddit anymore and became aware almost 2 weeks after the fact when my employer released a statement condemning it.
A society in which it’s everyone for themselves, that refuses to care for one another, is no society at all. Then everyone acts shocked and horrified at someone who understandably snaps, like modern western culture doesn’t run entirely on schadenfreude....
social contract was only a construct that the privileged push upon people like republicans push crt; gays, blacks, most women never agreed to it because i had no benefit to them, but where still forced into it with beatings, arrests, and/or having their livelihoods ruined for simply being what they were.
i WISH i had this problem; it’s so difficult to find the porn i used to get from reddit and ALL of porn instances i found were either straight or dildo/ass/dick pics.
Lemmy world was growing at a decent pace leading up to July 1st, then had a big influx following the API deadline. However the last week in particular has seen a decline....
anecdotally; the lack of content and relatively steep learning fediverse learning curve compared to reddit both make it easy enough to understand why lemmy & the fediverse haven’t reached into the millions of users yet.
i’m a reddit refugee and i’ve handcuffed my ability to participate in reddit because i’m still angry about the api changes. i also work in technical, but i still struggle to understand all of lemmy’s (and the fediverse’s) quirks. both result me me still spending more time on reddit as an unregistered lurker than with lemmy as a member who can participate.
that makes sense to me because reddit has all of the content that lemmy has plus a LOT more.
i suspect that i will have to rejoin reddit so that i don’t miss (my) world shaking events like the recent red hat shift that lemmy completely ignored.
I’ve come across Red Hat allot lately and am wondering if I need to get studying. I’m an avid Ubuntu server user but don’t want to get stuck only knowing one distro. What is the way to go if i want to know as much as I can for use in real world situations.
I’ve learned the hard way from Reddit that these kinds of requests will only result in my wasted time and it’s not my responsibility to educate you; use Google
none since too many people support him completely out of ignorance of what he’s done and said; like you did.
it’s mind blowing that there are literally videos of him doing shitty things that a 30 second google search will show you, but people will still refused to believe it; we’re no better than maga-ites
lmfao take your own medicine: i’ve provided proof that he’s a 2-faced politician that gives into peer pressure and whatever gets him votes while avoiding anything unpopular and you’re still rejecting it like a maga-ite.
secondly: they’re not the same document, it’s merely you actively refusing proof that contradicts your beliefs
finally: i’m old enough for doma, dont-ask-dont-tell and student loan debt to fuck me over permanently which is why i’m so salty when ignorant fools point to him as a worthy candidate.
“people change” is a seemingly reasonable cover for that doesn’t work for him because he staunchly stands by his wrong decisions for decades until it’s politically convenient for him to “change” despite it impacting his own life and he’s done it for every single one of his decisions and only “changes” once there’s no political back lash.
in ten years time (assuming he’s still alive) he’s going to back pedal on permanent student loan debt once an overwhelming majority of voters make it a core issue.
he supported doma, dont-ask-dont-tell, and spearheaded permanent student loan debt.
so when i graduated high, school military service was not an option because because of don’t-ask-don’t-tell and my parents were migrant farm workers who had no provisions for me. so the only option left to me was to go to college where i racked up enough permanently undischargable student loan debt that grew exponentially between the 2008 and covid collapses thanks to biden’s student loan debt bill. I’ll be paying for it for the rest of my life as a result.
between 2008 and covid, i wanted to marry another immigrant who had no legal status and, thanks to doma, i couldn’t marry and sponsor him so he got deported. he moved on and got married when it was politically convenient for biden to decide that gay marriage was okay and i’m too old of an incouragable fart to date.
thank you for re-affirming my belief that liberals are just a stubborn and willfully ignorant as maga when presented with evidence that their beliefs are wrong.
this world so fucked; but the the silver lining for me is that i’m old enough to be dead before the shit fully hits the fan and i hope that you get to enjoy its full affects.
