Major retail theft is almost always done by employees, anyway. Very intellectually lazy reporting to just drop that factoid (produced by retail stores, not independent studies) without that context.

Guy who just got his shit wrecked: it was a social experiment

The only way that they should ever stop being able to federate would be if the Lemmy or Piefed devs decided to make the software intentionally closed off instead, which seems very unlikely.

There are often some mild issues any time two different federated instances running on different software interact, just by virtue of the fact they have different features. For example, Piefed has an events post category that I don’t think Lemmy does, but the devs account for this and it just shows up as a normal post for Lemmy users.

God, it would be great if this led to actual consequences

Imagine going outside for a smoke and the crows just start circling. Frantically puffing and fighting them off with your spare hand.

Same in Los Angeles. Maybe we’ll be spared?

Sounds great on paper, in practice it’s almost entirely old white men who want to get rid of age of consent laws or people who want to be able to do insane, dangerous to others shit like feeding bears without anyone being able to stop them.

In summary, the ideology of selfish jackasses at best and pedophiles at worst.

1. Cool, that’s why my original comment says might. I don’t keep track of where random organizations employ people.

2. You linked to a page about minimum wage, not the law related to job postings. Again, this law does not state that the posting must be for employee positions.

Any criticism you don’t like hearing isn’t FUD. This would be a shit practice even if it wasn’t illegal in California.

1. doesn’t matter as long as they have employees in California

2. doesn’t state it must be for employees only, it’s for any job posting

Tech workers try to have any spine when it comes to worker’s rights challenge

Salary and remuneration will be commensurate with experience and aligned with industry standards

Neat, this might violate California law!

The law states that any employer with “15 or more employees” must include “the pay scale for a position in any job posting.”

At least 1 of those 15 employees “must be currently located in California,” according to the Department of Industrial Relations website. And, for the companies this applies to, a job posting must have a pay range “if the position may ever be filled in California, either in-person or remotely.”

Not my story, but it’s so good I have to share it: my classmate told me about how she was on a bus and some guy was arguing with the bus driver about fare or something, and the bus driver just gets up, takes off his bus driver vest thing, and fucking walks off the job! She said everyone on the bus was like WTF. Then when she left the bus and went to another bus stop to try to get home the driver was also just waiting at that stop, because obviously he drove the bus there and had no other way to get anywhere 😂

That’s an offensive stereotype. Some of us are autistic humanities nerds who are trying to be helpful, but come off as know-it-all and rude!

If you have an underlying psychiatric condition like depression then bringing your vitamin D levels to normal might improve your mood and it might not. When I got put on a vitamin D supplement after the doctor caught how low I was my biggest improvement was my energy more than my mood, but being tired all the time will make you feel like shit too.

People have already mentioned you should make sure you’re actually deficient by going to the doctor, but it’s also important to determine why you’re deficient. If you know you just don’t ever get sunlight, well, mystery solved. But if you do then vitamin D deficiencies can also be caused by things like intestinal disorders.

If the issue is not getting enough sunlight, check out the Sunbeam app. I have it as a safety thing because the UV here is godawful, but it also gives you a timer based on the current UV strength for how long you need to stay outside to get your daily vitamin D. Because it’s winter it’s like 40 minutes where I am today, but in the summer it can be as low as 5-10.

If you go here you can sort by size, uptime, etc, I’m not sure if anyone has made a curated list anywhere. There’s only a few instances with 100+ users, but since you’re seeing all the same fediverse content anyway it doesn’t matter much. My policy was to just pick an instance I trusted (already trusted Blahaj, so that was easy).

I would say it’s probably a good idea to pick an instance with at least 30-40 people, because the more people who have subscribed to remote communities, the more content will automatically federate to the instance (therefor making it easier for you to find new content).

If you like Blahaj then there is also a Piefed Blahaj instance now! I like Piefed over lemmy, I don’t know if they’ve added it to lemmy since I left but I really like being able to mute replies. It has other features lemmy lacks too, like being able to block an entire instance or make feeds (multireddit like function).

5. This is a reflection of the tendency of this particular social group (chavs? Not a Brit spotting expert) to spot and act immediately in response to emergencies rather than ignoring it, waiting for others to act, or pulling out a phone to film

6. Something else we haven’t thought of

Keep your words out of my mouth

If you meant something else by:

ain’t no way she wrote a book.

I’m open to hearing it. But I’m not sure how you believed that statement gave the impression you thought she was literate.

It’s depressing to me that one of the top upvoted comments here is ‘there’s no way a deaf blind person could have been literate.’

You’re absolutely correct that her legacy has been used as inspiration porn, but that doesn’t reflect on her intellectual abilities at all, just what stories society and the powerful want us to hear. Even during her own life Keller experienced exactly that once she became a socialist, and suddenly all the newspapers and people who went on at length about how capable she was suddenly believed her unable to reason because she was blind and deaf. Keller herself even spoke out against using her story as a way to tell people that anyone can do anything, and specifically that the poor didn’t have the opportunities she had.

Fr, my phone was over 3x as old when I traded it in, and it wasn’t even broken. I just knew I had to replace it in the next 4 years and didn’t want to get hit with tariffs.

2 years is a good start for people who trade in annually, though. Gotta start somewhere!
