these are just estimates, but similarweb gets it pretty close on the sites where i know the actual traffic numbers.

Unfortunately, the promotion to raccoon manager does not come with a salary bump.

i thought we were just joking around here, but if you're being serious: there's zero chance that's actually Margot Robbie.

or maybe like a 1% chance it's actually Margot Robbie, but for the last three months she's been playing a character on lemmy that's a goofy impersonation of Margot Robbie that breaks character all the time.

Does it make sense for Academy Award nominated actress Margot Robbie to promote her latest movie on her first personal social media account in years?

does it make sense for academy award nominated actress Margot Robbie to cross the picket line to promote the barbie movie on lemmy during the sag-aftra strike? yep, she's well-known for her anti-union politics and general disdain for labour. therefore, this must be a real account.

fun fact: if you try to actually boil a frog, it jumps out of the pot. frogs aren’t that dumb.

Speaking as one of “them”, yes. Yes you are.

I’m pretty sure I recognize this spot - just west of cache creek on hwy 99 - and if it is where I think it is that whole hillside burned last summer.

I think many Americans don’t believe American democracy is currently working in their favor, leading to apathy or outright hostility towards democracy itself.

i think this is basically it. the intellectual left likes to say things like “donald trump made a mockery of our democracy” but the reality is that american democracy has been a mockery of itself for a long time. All donald trump did was make it a bit more difficult to ignore that. Not to say he’s not criminal, and treasonous, and should be in jail. but he’s really only marginally worse than Mitch McConnell. it’s not nearly as shocking as the newspapers want us to believe.

he’s going to “surrender to jail” because that’s what this step of the process is called. he’s not actually going to be locked up

It’s always good to step back from “companies” and think of companies as just a bunch of people.

Is it good for companies to force employees back to the office? Nah, probably not. Is it good for the guy who has to explain why he signed a 10-year lease on all that office space, and now it’s sitting empty? Yup. Is it good for the lonely manager who wants to be surrounded by people, and has the power to make that happen? Yup. Is it good for the exec who has to find some reason why his department is underperforming, and decides remote work is a good scapegoat? Ehhh….

I don’t know about bard, but google doesn’t know any better either. https://ibb.co/7YHpSsq

Shout out to Moninaa on Reddit, which is probably the source of this “fact”, for making the world a little stranger.

people stopped liking discord when they got to use slack or teams and see what a professional chat product looks like.

not that people really love slack or teams either, but they are miles ahead of discord in terms of speed and general usability.

I bet they get really mad if you call them business weebs

It’s any of them

But we’re not talking about salary here. We’re talking residuals, per quarter, paid on top of the salary they received for the original work.

For a show that is 13 years old. Collecting $6k per quarter for work you did 13 years ago and that you have to do absolutely nothing for anymore seems pretty good to me?

There’s a hell of a lot of working class people who would absolutely love to be getting paid like that. Trying to frame this as the working class vs the rich seems really dishonest. Do TV writers even understand what the working class is, or how much we make? I sure as hell don’t collect $6k per quarter for work I did 13 years ago. If I did, I’d be rich.

I can’t stand them on pizza either, and I always thought that meant I didn’t like olives

Turns out I just don’t like the cheap black olives they put on pizza. Good olives are good, but lots of olives aren’t and bad olives just make the whole dish they’re in taste like bad olives.

this always reassures me a little bit. all the tracking and targeting and whatever that we’re supposed to be afraid of on the internet, and they still haven’t figured out a better form of targeting than this.

only if those programs support minorities. government-funded school breakfasts or lunches, healthcare subsidies, and funding for school extracurricular programs are all A-OK as long as we can make sure it only happens at schools that primarily serve rich white christians.

it’s only hypocrisy if you take the most generous possible interpretation of the things the right-wingers say, not what they so obviously mean

it’s always been very clear all along that “don’t tread on me” doesn’t mean the same thing as “don’t tread on anybody”. they want some people to be firmly tread upon, and others not to be.
