Just once I’d love to see a major government force a company into bankruptcy by making them clean up their own mess.

Company: “We can’t clean up our industrial mining waste, it’s too expensive and we would go under!”

Government: okay well we will have the taxpayers pay for it. Here have a bailout. Remember, daddy loves you so much “Oh then I guess you should have factored that into your costs. Get to work. And when you have no more money to pay for others to clean it up for you, we expect to see the executives and management out there with gloves and a can-do attitude”

Red = ded

If you don’t want ded, make sure no red.

And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.

This was not the case in 2007.

That could come later.

For now it just means reassigned to a desk somewhere not too far from MPs.

Hey, I’ll have you know I only have one alt!

… Don’t tell Keiko, but it’s for porn.

I see no problem with blocking users for their belief that I should be slaughtered over the sin of checks comments being born in the USA.

And I see no problem blocking instances where they gather.

Hey that sounds like studying linguistics to me! ^{Pun mildly intended.}

That’s gotta be a bit of a gut punch though…

I’ve only ever met a few native Germans in person, and understand just enough to get to the bathroom, so I don’t know if I just misheard, or they’re one of the few people who do say it that way.

I’ll take any native German’s word on their own language though! Lol or even anyone who’s studied.

I’ve internally been saying “eesh eel”

… which now seems like calling it "me earl’

Cuba, the “dirty evil communist” country that only struggles because of a bullshit embargo placed on them by people who are dead and whose opinions are irrelevant to modern day?

The Cuba that churns out so many doctors, they basically have to leave the country to find work because they have so many doctors already?

The Cuba that, if I bothered to look at quality of life statistics would almost all point to “Cuba is a generally well run country but suffers because of trade bullshit”?

That Cuba?

Or you could try bringing up occupied Palestine “Israel”, I’m sure you’ll have your “gotcha” moment there!

Lmao calling me a liberal is an insult

Miles Obrien understands the importance of a union, and the importance of the people who actually make the wealth for the owning class.

Miles Obrien also understands that fascists should be stopped at all fronts, including your precious dictator states.

I’m sure you’ll use your spotlight to throw around more school yard insults about people’s intelligence or political leanings, or post gifs or emoji, but all you’ll get from me is pity.

My wife has issues involving texture and trauma specifically at the dentist office, so I usually accompany her to appointments. So far no office has had an issue.

One time though, she needed to have those spacers put in her teeth, and she told the dentist and hygienist that she would throw up if it was in too long, and that she WILL bite down if there’s sharp pain, so use slightly more local anesthetic than normal and wait a little longer for it to work well.

They rushed.

She bit.

The moment I heard the cry of pain and felt my wife squeezing my hand super hard, I already knew what happened without having to look around anything.

I just said “And that’s why we told you to wait longer. You were warned.”

They were Super chill about everything, all things considered. I know I’d be pissed if I got bit by someone while doing my job, even if that job was literally their teeth.

Look, the temporal prime directive means I shouldn’t even be talking to you.

But if I had my ship you bet your arse.

To summarize the comment you are replying to:

“astronauts dying is a price Boeing is willing to pay”

“now pay the executives their bonus because, as executives, they are better than you. They also built this country by themselves with their bare hands, without help”

It’s extremely facetious, and pointing out that Boeing doesn’t give a shit about safety or the people in space, they just want money.

If you’re upset that lemmy isn’t trying to solve this problem… Well then I can’t help you there. This isn’t a place to investigate solutions to global problems or company management issues.

If you want to have one, by all means go make one yourself! unless you turn the speed dial to Plaid, it literally can’t be worse than the shitty job the companies are currently doing.

You know that “men only want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting” meme?

For me it’s an electric Toyota Hilux. And not a new one, unless it’s one of the originals that’s been sealed away for decades.

Ew gross.

This guy doesn’t have a shirt on!

Be pantsless like a normal person.

I had to try and roll down my sleeves after this.

I’m wearing short sleeves and no coat.

I can still feel the sleeves
