There aren't any that corporations can get behind.

The democrats don't care, as long as they don't offend their base. And then doing any sort of legit challenge/change/effort, would offend that base.

The average democratic voter is incredibly complacent and happy with the status quo in this country.

Where I live the people in the towns with 5 million dollar home think those of us in the 1 million dollar homes are a criminal element that will invade their town.

It's a national problem, but policies that affect housing are mostly local. So you need to override local control with state/federal policy, or convince a 50,000 municipalities to change their laws.

And the few states that have passed reforms for zoning, etc. are getting sued to shit in court by the city/towns.

This problem was 50 years in the making, it would take more than 50 years to fix.

That's usually the radical leftists who prioritize ideology and loyalty to the cause.

What gets me is a lot of people in the education world are starting adopting this bullshit attitude. My city removed advanced level math courses from middle/high school because it was 'unfair' to students who lacked the talent/drive to be good at maths... basically handicapping everyone because a subset of the students were bad at math. Basically nobody is allowed to be better than someone at something and pursue their talents... because that is 'mean and hurtful'. WTF

Thanks for having a good attitude. Way too many folks these days... are whiny and entitled and think nothing should be enjoyed by anyone if they can't enjoy it. I'm athletic and I enjoy difficult/complex video games... and it's always bizarre to me how some folks get some angry at me for enjoying things they don't/can't. I can't play grandmaster level chess or a musical instrument, but I'm not angry about it.

I'm 75% through and have had very few issues with the game man. But yeah, bosses take time to learn and figure out. Takes me about a dozen tries per boss then I'm smoking them.

Learn the patterns, equip the right buffs, and it's really not that hard.

most proms are held in a the gym with a shitty dj and shitty catered food. but you're not gonna see that portrayed in media. parents drop them off, there are no limos.

because the rules only apply to bad people. good people don't need no rules!

she's still around. she's just getting old and getting crazier. she's likely mentally ill and not treating it.

i met her once. she's a completely insane nutbag whose only joy in life is her internet sex celebrity status.

ok, now we have moved to 'if you don't volunteer you are less than as a person.'

seriously, volunteering has zero to do with one's moral worth in life. tons of good people never volunteer. lots of shitheads do. volunteering isn't some inherently moral/good act. lots of people volunteer for shitty reasons and do shitty things.

the reality is that incompetent managers love to blame their employees for not doing shit they never told them to do.

That isn't true at all. Plenty of volunteers are shitty people.

A group I was recently with just had a huge scandal because someone who joined had a sexual offender records and we were working with kids... he basically fucked everyone over and the entire org had to stop operations for months until every member clear background checks.

My father was a great anti-role model.

I tried my hardest to not be like him and his shittiness.

it's usually simpler than that. conservatives pay more than liberals.

i know a few leftists who have now gone hard right... because they got paid more to spout conservative conspiracy nonsense than they did liberal/socialist stuff.

nah bro, it's a black hole bomb that destroys the solar system.

Truth on lemmy gets downvoted. It's really that simple. Most of our Nukes are the same age as our grandparents at this point. Our ICBMs are running on 5.25" floppy disks from the 70s. All this shit is OLD and desperately needs modernization for safety and security.

But if the headline was 'USA to replace ICE nukes with EV nukes" it would be upvoted and celebrated.

Should have let Hitler take over Europe and massacre all the Jews in Europe too.

Yeah, let's just let China take over the world and nuke us when we get uppity.
