Look, I know it's idealist, but corporate profits are at an all time high. C-level execs make hundreds to thousands times what their lowest level employee does. It's disgusting. The greed and their assumption that we will just let them continually be more greedy is disgusting. Maybe they don't need all that. They can actually pay their employees better. They choose not to because we have barely any social nets in this country, what does exist can be really hard to get, and people have to eat and have a home. They prey on desperate people, hide behind the idea that minimum wage is "supposed to be for teenagers, and refuse to entertain the notion that they are the problem.

This has some "written in blood" vibes. We have absolutely killed people by working them too hard.

I'm in. Freaking do it. We need to have some strikes.

And this is exactly why Republicans yell about people abusing the system.

Yeah, the only time I made boys pants fit was when I was a late teen/young adult before I had kids. Now there's just no way it would ever work.

That said, all the new shorts and pants I buy have pockets. The shorts are basically women's versions of men's basketball shorts and the pants are yoga ones. Super comfy.

This is so ridiculous. Continual growth just can't work.

My kid is into bugs, so we spend a lot of time looking them up. I really like dragonflies. And I added my favorite numbers plus one more because I had to make a new account on a different instance and didn't want it shot down just in case.

Volcanoes typically erupt with a lot of ash which blocks the sun and cools the planet. Get a big enough volcano and the earth stays cooler for years, disrupting crops and creating a potential famine.

Very telling that it doesn't include heterosexuality but specifically mentions homosexuality. Freaking homophobes.

Because you put everything in your mouth as a baby. Some things might be an extrapolation, but most of it is memory from babyhood.

So cute! I don't have a bunny, but they're adorable.

We had street cars. We had trains transport people. We had real mass transit. It was all killed by the auto lobbyists.

And then there's a small subset who is tech adjacent, kind of understands what's going on, and is fed up with Reddit's CEO being a dick. 😅 I genuinely like Lemmy and try to understand the techy posts.

I have a very hard time believing that.

My six year old asked me if dvd's were used when I was a kid in the 50's. I'm 32. 3,000 years for VHS tracks.

Hahaha, so many ends. That's partially because I didn't count correctly on the vest and had to go back in and add another row. So the vest was technically six pieces. Then the body of doll itself... 😳

I almost always end up fudging things and just wing it. It turns out ok to me. The picture the OP posted looks adorable.

No, I know it's not mutually inclusive. I just think that profit is going somewhere. It's not just hanging out in the ether. Maybe it's not execs, sure. Maybe it's someone else. But someone is absolutely taking the money that every day employees should be getting.

I don't think you really have to go very far back. Since I was old enough to remember, I heard basically every adult say that they voted for the lesser of two evils. Maybe it wasn't as overt then, but it was definitely the mind set.

That was condescending. They likely phrased it that way because they thought the other poster didn't know. Not that they just found out. You were rude.
