No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is AOC a big deal? She just speaks common sense and calls out absurdity. Have we really gone that far off the rails where we don't do it ourselves?English
1·12 hours agoPretty much. She’s currently in their crossfires.
Which honestly, is good. AoC is tough. Shes been doing this for a few years now, picking up the torch that Bernie Sanders lit three decades ago.
And behind her are hundreds of politicians who are empowered by people like her to rise up. AoC (and Bernie) walked so these new folks can run.
I’ll never forget when American Republicans went to go meet with European Republicans and the European Republicans were like… “Oh you guys are fucking Nazis.”
There’s a famous story at my job about this.
The hiring team kept saying they had trouble finding designers and developers because nobody wants to work on a Windows computer.
And the owner went. “So why are we forcing everyone to use windows?”
And then one department pointed fingers at another, to another, to another. Apparently a decade ago, some IT dude got Microsoft kickbacks and left the company. The next month, the whole “Microsoft” rule faded away and now my department is running Linux laptops, the designers and devs have their macs, and the accountants are using windows.
I was on team Dreamcast and never owned a Sony console! Welcome to my world!
Can confirm this.
My first job had a manager who loved “making examples out of people”. One time, he threatened to fire a girl because she didn’t organize something the way he wanted, and went on a speech about how he is to be respected and when the girl told the owner, they hired a second manager to potentially remove him.
He later went to jail for stabbing a guy at a bar, probably drunk. So he removed himself. He then became a cop. So that’s cool.

7·1 day agoIt’s just here to piss off the MAGAs.
I would love it if the Lincoln Project was the one who started it. Theyre conservatives who fucking hate Trump.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When I don't sleep for sometime, I start laughing at silly things maniacally. Why? Is that common with insomniaEnglish
8·2 days agoNo need to apologize.
Understand the symptoms. The last thing you want to do is make some really bad decisions that you can never fix because of it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was your worst dating app experience?English

Going to need context here or a source.
VitoRobles@lemmy.todaytointerestingasfuck@lemmy.world•Downtown Houston in 1970s was a massive parking lot. It was estimated that nearly 50% of the downtown land area was dedicated solely to parking.English
181·2 days agoThat reminds me! I had friends who lived in a small town and would drive to the city to work. They were complaining about spending half an hour looking for parking every day or pay the $25 all-day parking lot fee. They were walking distances near the train, so I recommended that to them as an option.
What does this car brain do? They DRIVE to the train station one stop away from the job, and park there for free. Then ride the 2 minutes (one stop) to work.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was your worst dating app experience?English
17·2 days agoIt’s really easy to feed into the rage bait here. So I’ll try to be brief.
There’s an app called Hinge, and their whole premise was women are required to message first. The root issue they were trying to solve was that on dating apps, men were 90% of the ones who started a convo, and women would get bombarded with hundreds of messages. So this was to flip the script.
Well, it turns out a vast majority of women (and honestly, men too.) really suck at openers.
So you had a bunch of women going, “Hey” as their opening line to flirt with a potential match. And then we were back at the same problem.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•When Stephen Colbert had The Colbert Report did the right ever realize he was doing a parody of them?English
8·2 days agoYep! Very rarely, they were too polite to address how insane Stephen’s comment was.
Because most of the time, they agreed with how batshit it was!

America has been steadily decreasing investments in public education over the last few decades. We have high schoolers who can’t read.
But that’s okay. Because we have absolute geniuses right now who are going to make America Great Again by making our Epstein class richer.
