Yeah, here in the US almost every state has "at will" employment, so any protections could really be circumvented by just firing a worker for whatever other reason (or no reason at all) they want. Hopefully labor has it better in the land down under.

It is currently closed because of an Israeli air strike. Might open again tomorrow. Or it might be bombed again.

The 18-21 year olds in 1980? The Baby Boomers who are 61-64 now?

Five years of dictatorship and a permanent end to the republic, with his grand-nephew becoming the next dictator.

I've loved the cyberpunk genre since its inception, and loved Witcher 3, but skipped this game because I don't like vomiting. Some of us just can't play FPS games without terrible nausea, especially when they have a field of view that can't be zoomed out very far.

A "performance improvement plan." Basically a way for employers to set unrealistic expectations and fire the employee with less risk of a lawsuit for wrongful termination. Although since almost every state has "at will" employment now, it hardly seems necessary.

The Rafah border crossing is currently closed due to an Israeli air strike. Might reopen tomorrow. Might be bombed again.

If you haven't bought a bidet (like $50-100 and a few minutes to install) or shower every time you poop, you are probably covered in feces right now. Toilet paper alone is kind of gross.

Yeah, nicotine is a vasoconstrictor. Smaller blood vessels = higher blood pressure and higher risk of heart attacks and stroke.

If only they supported it enough to actually show up at the elections that would have affected the chance of the amendment passing.

The "problem of evil" has been a topic of serious scholarship for millenia. No "theodicy" makes logical sense, but more than just teenagers examine it.

I've never really seen the appeal.

Wearing t-shirts has helped me to meet folks with similar interests in real life. Critical Role, Onewheel, mountain bike brand merch, etc. I could see striking up a conversation with someone wearing a Lemmy logo, if one exists.

I would think their gravity technology would work on the surface of a planet just as well as in space, making whatever surface one wants into a floor, but yeah, why would you?

I use a site called airdates.tv. I color code shows green if I definitely want to watch and yellow if shows Ill watch if there's nothing else to do. If I see a show I haven't heard of, there's a bunch of links when I click on the show to find out what it is.

The hens are more relaxed with a rooster around, too, so they are good to have if you care about animal welfare. Just wish people stopped buying them in residential areas.

For an AR-15 you can just use an AR Maglock and Kingpin, then it's just a button press to very slightly separate the upper and lower receiver, allowing for magazine ejection. It's almost as fast to change magazines as in other states.

There's also zero chance a criminal would follow these laws. It takes maybe a minute to disable a maglock and swap on whatever stock you want. "Freedom Week" or old 30 round mags are prevalent as well.

Interesting. Not sure if it is at related, but this made me think of the singularly before the Big Bang.

Relay is the app I've been using for the past decade. It's great, and I would pay a subscription fee even though I paid for the app, but it wouldn't solve the other issues with the site. Mods still wouldn't have the tools they need to be effective and NSFW posts wouldn't be accessible, for example. Plus I don't like the idea of giving money to companies run by the likes of Steve Huffman.
