During jury duty, we got all sorts of shit for even whispering which court room we are going to. We were all numbers and even addressed ourselves as a number. And we were threatened repeatedly with fines and prison sentences.

This motherfucker gets to say whatever the fuck he wants and gets a bunch of verbal warnings and finger wagging.

This is why we lose trust in various govt systems

I can't imagine who would be opposed to this that isn't brainwashed by corporations.

We went on one date and didn't make future plans. A few weeks later, they message me 15 times.

Asus 202c from 2016. They're EoL, so they don't get chrome OS updates. Which means the Play Store is also outdated.

Overall, they're pretty nifty. Battery life is still solid. Keyboard and case is pretty durable.

I actually have a few of these chromebooks! (You can buy them from schools) I've reformatted one with Linux. Another is Chromebook + side loaded for coding. This one is just for browsing and taking notes.

But just the thought that some old person buying a computer and going, "Lemme pick up these Google Things that are $100" only to end up with these errors makes me sad.

Probably because he's offering them a solution to there problems, deport the immigrants and bring manufacturing back. His plan is dumb and won't work but at least he's putting something forward unlike Harris who says everything will stay the same.

This is exactly what I was pointing out to my friends. Every one of us are making six figures, and could not understand why anybody would vote Trump.

And I asked them how many people in their lives are poor, living paycheck to paycheck. I have family members who are working two or three jobs to get by. All the work Biden did is not being seen or recognized by them.

Are they are under-educated yokels? Are they morons for not keeping up with politics? You can call them what ever you want. Theyre still a voter.

Face it: what they're hearing from Democrats vs what they're hearing from Trump are pretty clear cut and we can stay in this echo chamber all we want on Lemmy. Those folks aren't listening to us. They're just trying to survive and will vote accordingly.

They arrested him in front of his church.

How exactly is making America great again?

Is there a way to apply and be a scab?

But id be the absolute worst employee. Like they'd tell me to do something and I'd do bare minimum while also shouting, "Well shit y'all can use a union."

I'm fully employed already in a salary position in a major tech company.

Looks like we share a cat!

Yep! That was my next action! :-)

As someone who lives here:

This is real.

Because there is enjoyment from watching people suffer. Probably a German word

That's my take.

Bro I was alive during Rodney King riots.

Doesn't mean my opinion is more valid than someone actually there.

I lived in Salem and visited the small towns between Portland/Salem.

It's backwaters AF. Pro-Trump, people who were really angry that a dude bend the knee at a sports game.

Jesus vs Gandalf power scalers go!!!

It's moreso theft.

This was actually my life a few years ago.

I was hardening our applications to stop scraping and automation bots.

Then contributing to open-source to have better scraping and automation.

I wasn't purposely creating loop holes or anything because that's highly illegal. It's about making sure both sides "play nice", because the automation bots are frequently used by spammers/evildoers.

You lumped a huge percentage of people as putting their fingers in their ears.

Maga is going to vote maga. And there's a huge chunk that didn't vote or were surprised Biden dropped out. Those folks didn't put their fingers in their ears. Like Bernie said, they were ignored.

I worked at a few local boutique stores supplying them with IT work. Boutique like they sell art, hand crafted stuff, book stores, local hardware shop, etc.

None of them are breaking past $25 million in revenue.

Many are happy to hit $2-3 million, which gives them enough to pay their staff of 5-10 ppl.

Understandable. Staff is overworked and not supported, and the "clients" aren't exactly receptive to help.
