I deleted my 14 year old reddit account when they pulled their shit. Then I recently created a new account because I need to be able to get answers to specific programming questions sometimes, and lemmy doesn’t have the population of users that reddit still has. I generally post on both lemmy and reddit, but I almost always get more answers on reddit.

Why are you traveling to make a call? You could just call.

Lol nerd. Good one though

That’s what I heard. That’s what people are saying.

No, I haven’t. He keeps getting away with shit.

I haven’t seen any evidence he will ever face consequences. I hope I’m wrong.

That’s exactly what this is.

Unfortunately, you are correct. We’re doomed.

I once saw a comment where a guy said that before the internet, if someone wanted to fuck toasters and told anyone, he would be shamed and made fun of to the point where he’d never bring it up again.

With the internet, if someone wants to fuck a toaster, they can go online and find a while community of people who also enjoy fucking toasters, complete with guides and recommendations on the best toasters to fuck.

Its absurd, but it illustrates a great point. So yeah, we are fucked. Pandoras box is open.

Agreed. I also believe we should all stop showing up for work until we are guaranteed health care, a living wage, and reasonable housing prices. We shouldn’t contribute to system that works against us.

Everyone I know has to work multiple jobs and have roommates to be able to afford housing. What is this free time you speak of?

No. The divide between the rich and everyone else is growing. We will be able to afford less and less.

We shame them for being shitty. Don’t engage them in debate, they are used to that. Don’t try to use facts, because they don’t care about facts. Don’t try to convince them of shit.

Make them feel like outcasts and bad people. Brush off what they say when they say horrible shit. Make them have emotional responses to their shitty views. Conservative news targets these people by exploiting their emotions.

And vote. Vote for people who will fix our education system so that our next generation knows how to think for themselves.

That money goes to administrators instead of teachers.

Yep. He is who the U.S. has become. We are an embarrassment.

Yes. But even unorganized labor can stand up for themselves.

There would be no risk if everyone did the same thing. You’re only replaceable if there’s someone willing to replace you.

I’m a construction worker. I’m also an adult. If I’m working in the heat, I take a water break whenever I feel like I need one. If I need to go sit in my truck with the ac on, that’s what i do. If anyone has a problem with it, they can fuck right off and find someone else.

All it would take is everyone adopting this same attitude for things to change. Water and rest breaks are taken, not given. It’s your body, not your boss’s. Take care of yourself. Solidarity saves lives.

Isn’t going to happen. People in power, especially Republicans, don’t get in trouble for anything.

She’s absolutely not fucked. She’s a republican. They don’t get in trouble for doing shit.

She should become a sex offender for this. Any normal person would get sentenced to prison if they did this, yet somehow i don’t think she’ll get in any real trouble for this.

What the fuck can we do about this? I’m so sick of seeing powerful people get away with all types of crimes every single day while there are regular people serving 30 year sentences for getting caught with some weed.

We are past the point where we should be revolting. I don’t think we should resort to violence, but we should put our collective foot down.

We have all the power. This country’s economy would grind to a screeching halt if we stopped showing up for work. We need to make some demands and stop contributing until they are met. Accountability for the powerful should be among those demands. I also say we demand the ability to pay for housing, goof, and health care by working a full time job. If we don’t have those bare minimums, then what are we even doing?
