Some dingbat that occasionally builds neat stuff without breaking others. The person running this public-but-not-promoted instance because reasons.
Because scrapping existing things just because they’re not a throwback to the old gas guzzler days is surely going to save money and make things great again.
I’m kind of waiting for him to throw out a maximum fuel efficiency standard. You know, get them back to the good ol days of the 1970s 8/mpg Lincoln that weigh 2 tons.
.world is hardly the home of the tankie, what you see might be posts from lemmy.ml
There are two other places known as lemmygrad and hexbear that are outright communist/tankie that you’ll see occasionally brigade when someone posts anything positive about the USA.
This and most others are pretty sane. One that comes to mind for what you’re asking particularly might be https://slrpnk.net/signup who seem kind of left but not Stalin left.
Otherwise there’s the join Lemmy link at the bottom of any given instance to look through.
Pride disinvited them after their pullback, and there has been plenty of chatter of people moving to Costco. Recent CNN piece talks about it as well.
So wait a damn minute here. Target, a MN company, had (past tense) an expansive DEI program that they recently scrapped following along with the trend from multiple other outfits.
Unlike many other places the public actually got mobilized in some level to show they’re pissed off at Target for ditching the program and refusing to shop there.
NOW the FL attorney general decided they should try and file a suit against them for being ‘woke’?
What kind of backwards response is that? It hardly even makes sense from a political theater perspective much less in any practical way. Fascists, still unable to find their own ass with both hands and a flashlight…
Edit: It occured to me that as conspiratorial as it sounds it’s possible Target begged for this treatment to try and gain some sympathy points for being picked on by the big bad far right. Give the people someone else they already hate to point at and maybe some ‘forget’ that you the company just gave a big FU to a sizable portion of your customers/employees/suppliers.
That last part sounds like grand idea, and likely not too hard to do on the client side. Perhaps just a way to sort things by tagging a comm with some flag and all the ones with a specific flag show up in a custom feed. That way even if the names are not quite the same you could create these merged comms to read from.
The hard part there would be posting, you would want some kind of easy way to send a new post to a specific one, but I can’t say having a ‘post to all’ would be a good idea, that sounds like a spam poster’s best friend.
In the simplest sense, a separation of duties. If the judge was to be the sole decider of what is worth consideration then you have this individual functioning as an unquestioned king.
No single person is going to know every case, consider every angle, and have an inclination to pursue all points of view. Even the supreme court receives amicus briefs to guide a case.
An attorney has a duty to get the best possible outcome for their client, even if they disagree with what the client may have done. A single person judiciary could never have that position because they are effectively advocating both sides to themselves.
I’m at 200+ owned on GOG here, takes a lot less physical space than all those GME disks I used to pick up.
Yes… but not really relevant to discussions of businesses not actively trying to completely crush the middle class here?
Nearest Costco is about 45 minutes from me so while it looks like a decent replacement to Target, it’s going to have be a bit more planned that just pop out for a quick thing.
Still sort of working on how to keep track of who all I need to avoid. It may only be a small amount but I’m a stubborn one when it comes to avoiding shops. The city pissed me off once so I refused to use their municipal beer shop for like a decade after.
Ford used to say something to the effect of ‘pay your workers well enough to afford the product they’re building’ and it seemed to work well.
Nothing really aside from the annoyance of living where everything is 20 miles apart makes shopping at multiple small shops quite time consuming.
Somehow advanced quantum computing ends up with a steampunk aesthetic.
That too, though I haven’t had reason to go there just yet. Curious to see some stats over the year to see if there’s a notable bump for them due to standing against the trend to kill DEI.
At the rate these chains are telling me to fuck off with my business and ignore them I’m gonna end up with nothing but farmer markets and crafts shows to shop at…
Got to wonder what some lawyer told them was going have them bent over to suddenly say Musk is just an advisor with no authority and try and erase things like this. I’m guessing we find out soon enough while Donnie tries to scramble to gaslight everyone about what he said before.
Tooke a bit to explain to my kid why I was giggling when I realized the spirit of B&B was alive in a show he was watching.
You wouldn’t have happened to grow up watching a lot of Beavis and Butthead did you?
This user particularly has been a lot of them that I’ve seen.
Should clarify that you mean the Trump admin, otherwise people might get the wrong idea.
Which is exactly why he stuck himself in there.
