In my line of work, the reply button should be hidden. It's so annoying when you have to forward a bunch of emails because some dingus decides all the people purposefully cc'd in don't need to be kept in the loop.

And at the rate we all send each other emails, this is an annoyance.

Also now I have like 3 different threads all with the same subject, yay! Email definitely works for this and isn't a pain at all! (Would be nice if an email client handled this better, but I'm stuck with Outlook for work)

Please, if there's an email chain, by the second reply-all, you had better hit reply all, or reply with a different subject.

Or basically, it'd be nice if people used reply and reply all appropriately for the situation in general haha

It's to eliminate the vapour-space of the tank (by having the roof rise and fall as the liquid level changes), commonly used for oil storage.

USA definitely is a shithole, but it's not racist to criticise a government... (Pretty obviously implied)

He's not very socialist, no. But based on your take that socialists on the west are imperialist simply for existing within an imperialist nation, something tells me you think anyone who's the enemy of the USA must be great. (Do correct me). And that usually ends up being tankies.

He's been outspoken on the genocide in Gaza, at least. Which is one of the USA's proxy imperialist projects.

USA, Russia, China, they're all terrible in their own way. We don't get to choose where we're born.

I'm a socialist (edit: not a "democratic socialist", like actually a socialist who wants revolution and institution of a worker controlled society) in Australia. Am I okay with imperialism too because of Australia's actions?

In conclusion, Mamdani isn't gonna bring about socialism, but he's certainly not as bad as you're describing (that I can tell, so far).

Isn't he self-described as a "democratic socialist"? (I mean, his faction aren't super radical socialist as far as I'm aware, in terms of trying to bring about a workers democracy. The NYC "city run" grocery stores are just contacted out, not actually city run. But hey, it's way, way, way better than what other US political factions are doing)

From what I can tell Mamdani has been speaking our against these events. So he's spoken about Gaza at least once since election... Though I am neither from NYC nor the US, so don't know in great detail.

Again, Mamdani isn't a socialist, and isn't gonna bring about any sort of meaningful restructure of US society. But it seems like a stretch to say he's actively supporting US imperialism given the scope of his power.

Lesser evilism only really applies when no other choice exists. In the US voting system, you must vote for the lesser evil, because first past the post is trash. The part that people haven't been doing at large scale is still continuing to bring about change outside the terrible voting system, 1. at a minimum to fix the voting system and 2. to build workers movements that use things like, unionism, general strikes, protests, boycotts and eventually revolution to overthrow the ruling class by (mostly) peaceful means by numbers (and probably some violence when there's inevitably a retaliation by the ruling class).

But not voting in the US and feeling high and mighty about it is really stupid.

Luckily, in Australia, we can at least preference, meaning we don't need to deal with that particular hurdle. Though it's still not democratic as representatives are unrecallable, and like all capitalist counties, the real power is with the capitalist class who put their finger on the scale to get their desired outcomes.

Lesser evilism in the context of world governments is absurd (i.e. supporting Russia, China, Iran, etc just because they're not the USA), especially socialists who believe in international worker solidarity.

We get absolutely nothing but supporting totalitarian regimes, be they in the US, Russia, China etc. We ought to be supporting workers in all countries to achieve socialism, not bloody the ones in power just because their ruling class are enemies of the US ruling class... (and for the record, China, Russia and Vietnam are all capitalist countries... one needs to delude themselves to believe otherwise).

In conclusion, it's weird that you don't mind being called a tankie, because it hints are your disregard for democracy and self-determination.

And by definition you can't really call yourself a socialist if you don't believe in democracy, since how else can a society be "worker controlled" if the workers don't get a say over society....

Oh I don't disagree. Just pointing out that 1. Socialism isn't a dirty world like the meme above implies and 2. That Mamdani calls himself a democratic socialist

End capitalism. It's no coincidence all these countries are pushing this in lockstep.

End goal is the death of online freedom.

Get angry, get involved in your local politics to bring democracy to the workplace and the economy.

It's not gonna get better otherwise.

If they try to retire classic outlook I'm gonna riot.

Windows 11 is bad and I was unhappy when I got moved onto it, but is bearable. New outlook is unusable if you get a large number of emails every day for work.

They decided: let's rebuild it with none of the features!!

Requests the app made today.

This is my phone I own outright, by the way. I don't have any creditors.

I know this is a joke, but a bad dog is so much more of a problem than a bad cat. (Not counting feral animals)

Bad cat: angry, wants you to leave them the fuck alone, scratches you at the slightest provocation

Bad dog: hyperactive or jumps all over you or barks at you, can seriously injure or kill you.

Our society takes for granted that you can take your dog anywhere (in Australia at least), and I don't think enough emphasis is placed on the fact if you can't 100% control your dog, don't bring it anywhere near people.

The number of people saying "oh he's friendly" as their dog scares someone afraid of dogs because they're jumping up on them is stupid.

This society values dogs more, and I just don't get it.

Because of the Reddit migration, 196 is coming up in my Lemmy feed a lot, I have no idea what it is (because you haven't made a description).

This could be your chance to gain more community members if you update your description

In other countries, not only would the voter suppression be illegal, but racial hate speech would also land this fucker in jail.

I think this logic is silly.

Employers don't own you, so witholding wages for services you provided isn't stealing. Getting a haircut and not paying isn't stealing.

I think the better justification is: rights holders make it a pain in the arse to access content affordably, so fuck you, just going to steal it.

I echo the dissatisfaction people have with this and won't be donating again. This is Lemmy.world not Lemmy.(we need a safe space from the communists)

The fact you were upset about Beehaw's defederation but then turn around and do this is massive hypocrisy.

This is you imposing your personal ideology on your users. The fact you lead with those 3 "concerning statements" tells us everything. You only like free speech when it aligns with your own beliefs.

Shame.
