Computers have never been something that everyone is knowledgeable about. The IT industry has kinda trended like that, but to the general population they've always been boxes filled with magic smoke.
And that's perfectly fine. If everyone was as knowledgeable about computers as you or I am, I wouldn't have a job (well, I'm currently unemployed, but that's because of Musk).
Technology literacy is specialized knowledge. You're portraying the comic.
99% of people have no need or desire to know anything more about technology than the bare minimum to use it. The fact that you're on Lemmy alone means you have way more tech knowledge than the average person.
That's a pretty good analogy.
That's the satanic temple. The church of Satan is a completely different thing.
It's weird that you're framing a company taking less of a profit during a financial downturn as a bad thing.
Planning for it could easily mean that they kept extra cash on hand to float them through a trump presidency, which is what smart companies should be doing.
Yeah, that one was definitely weird. I get her not being into Eugene, but Gabriel was out of left field.
Tbh I wouldn't have been surprised if he had turned out to be gay and ended up with Aaron.
Yeah, it's pretty naive to think that the party of, "every accusation is a confession," who screamed about election fraud for 4 years didn't commit election fraud.
Musk lotteries, bullet ballots being orders of magnitude higher than previous years only in swing states, bomb threats in blue areas and judges not extending voting times to accommodate, Trump saying Musk was going to help him out and voting machines using Starlink internet, etc.
That still doesn't cover the need to verify that you are who you say you are.
If government issued IDs were free for everyone, this wouldn't be an issue. The issue isn't showing an ID to vote, it's that not everyone has one, and those who don't are usually lower income.
Just an fyi, the gender tags are for the genders present in the picture.
He literally said, "They rigged the election and now I'm president again."
I mean, we're all talking about it, aren't we? His actions might spur others into taking action.
MLK didn't really do a ton of direct action, but his speeches were still very influential.
It's really just more proof that the election was rigged, like Trump confessed to on air.
That and IT is often seen as the redhead step child because they're not revenue generating. I've had a purchase request for a single bag of zip ties denied before.
A parking spot is only a handicapped spot if it has both the painted symbol on the ground and a sign visible while you're parked in the spot. Maybe not completely ethical to park there, but it's 100% legal.
Just listen to like half of the rock from the 70s and 80s. Lyrics do not hold up over time.
It's super sad when wait staff remember my wife and I because we treated them like human beings.
They're a source, for sure, but they're definitely not the largest source.
I think it's the motorcycle equivalent to having a hentai girl tattooed on your arm.
