My brother/sister, it’s 2025. We’re 45 years into American conservatives shrieking “bias” every time something less conservative than Goebbles says something. If you think anyone with any level of exposure to American conservative media (i.e., most of Lemmy) is going to react any way other than extremely negatively to you obstinately tossing around “biased” every third word and “just asking questions,” you’re gonna have a bad time.

Imagine making an account here and, within 4 days of migrating from reddit, whining about how anyone being even remotely critical of your comments belongs on reddit lol

As an American, frankly, there shouldn’t have been much goodwill to begin with. But yeah, it feels pretty bad watching these vermin stab Ukraine in the back. And let’s be honest, these people and the ones that voted for them, my loved ones included, are fucking vermin.

What are little green men again?

In this economy???

Also, the way most people use “per se” and “it begs the question” drives me crazy.

I feel like this is the Musk thing all over again. The moment these coddled, silver spoon baby fucks stop getting endless praise from progressives they turn to the right because progressive people “owe” them for… something? It’s such a ridiculous sense of entitlement.

I work for an American company and we have to use PTO for sick days. Unfortunately.

What the fuck are you talking about? Civics are squarely average in loudness and unless you need to go like 120 mph their speed shouldn’t be a problem lol, they’re basically the same as every other standard 4- cylinder sedan.

Lol shitty style guides are redditor brain, okay. Do you also wear beanies in the summer and wax your mustache?

“SLAM”

fuck out of here with that, come on

looks at Hungary, Poland, Italy, Germany, and whatever Greece calls it’s Coast Guard Suuuuuuuure it’s definitely just an us problem.

WAT???

That’s what I don’t get though, these people seem to be delusional in that they think that they’re a hard worker and looooove in person, so therefore every hard worker loves in person and the chaff will quit. Then they act shocked when their high performers largely leave to pursue remote or hybrid options. It’s such a glaring inability to see people different from them as having any value.

Well a couple things, if possible I call ahead and see if anything can be modified, and if not I find some reason to bail. If it’s spontaneous, I benefit from, frankly, being a pretty heteronormative man so I can always manage to get beer and a large side. I really only have to let people know ahead of time if it’s some kind of work event, in which case the staff member in charge of us attending the event handles it but I’m not in that situation a lot. Of course, most of the time I’m eating it with people who already know me well so they already know I’m vegan.

I realize the irony in this opening statement, but as someone who’s been vegan a long time and never brings it up unless directly asked I can say that this people who are vocal about it tend to be the new vegans who are gonna drop out in six months because they just so happened to have a 1 in 6,000,000,000 person medical condition that makes it literally impossible for them to be vegan, which they discovered for the first time right after bbq season started back up. Definitely not just because they have a different outlook now, no sir.

Ghost in the Shell called it thirty years ago.

Okay but if something for sale for $420.69 we would all agree that was intentional, right?

Looking at you NJ, you ridiculous grift if a state.

It is, but that’s also a defining feature of the presidential system as opposed to the parliamentary system.
