You go to your father’s funeral to honor your father’s memory. He isn’t going to bar his sisters from attending his funeral, that would be wildly out of the norm. When your dad dies, go to his damn funeral. This beef you have with his sisters is immaterial.

placating him on a thing like this means accepting my father has become a 5 year old

Your father expecting you to attend his funeral is pretty fucking standard. It’s a colossally large dick move to not attend your own father’s funeral just because you have a grudge against his sisters. Be a fucking adult and bear the presence of a few people you don’t like for a few hours.

The US was paying them to build wind power projects in the US, now the US is paying them to build gas power projects in the US.

Strong disagree. Microsoft does this on the regular. They get no credit for their repeated ‘we’re sorry’.

Southpark: “We’re sorry”

In this case, corporations have the exact same rules as the everyday man: you can import Chinese EVs for a 127.5% tariff. Waymo is doing exactly that, just as you can.

The title of the article (that Americans can’t buy Chinese EVs buy Waymo can) is refuted by the very first paragraph of the same article.

Just like Waymo, you pay a 127.5% tariff. Americans can buy Chinese EVs; the title is simply a lie that is refuted by the very first paragraph of the exact same article.

Yeah, fast food used to be fast and cheap, now it is neither. No reason to waste money there, so now 98% of my food comes from the grocery store. So. Much. Cheaper.

Burger parts cost ~$2 at the grocery store.

Don’t spend $25 for a burger.

That’s not surprising. People may be open to an idea in their head, then in practice realize that long-term, committed relationships (particularly with multiple children) don’t mesh with having sex with others.

Yeah, when I was a kid growing up in the US, no cell phones during class was the standard. If you took it out (or if it wasn’t on silent and rang during class) you got a warning, then next time it would be taken away and given back at the end of class or end of the school day with escalating consequences for repeated violations.

Exactly! Set the minimum wage to a reasonable level; mandating tip buttons by law is asinine. The government should be discouraging paying people via tips, not mandating it.

All the different lemmys (by default) will show up for all the others. Though some lemmy servers block specific other ones from syncing with their instance. Notably the tanky-heavy lemmy instances tend to get blocked.

If you go over to hexbear (a lemmy instance), you will hear significantly more people tell you Russia invading their neighbors in wars of conquest is good, actually.

You also cannot view it without being logged in now. Which gets a groan from everyone in chat when a friend shares a Reddit link.

I have no clue why they decided chasing off users and being less useful was somehow going to help them. Particularly when they were the place to go for huge segments of the population.

the only way to block it is to get AI to differentiate instructions from data, which is impossible today

Input sanitation, basically security 101. And it can’t currently do it…
