This last job search was between Amazon and Meta. I was at the offer stage of both. Then a third smaller company came in. I’m pretty sure the third could have been a whaling company and it would have been a less bad option. Was very happy to turn both of them down.

Eh, I like them, but once we get more memes going I could see them being relegated to their own community

Legends say she was the first person on the fediverse

She really wants to make friends!

Same. Groups were merged a while ago but I’ve never seen them

I’m simply happy that they’re seeing what they wanted for other people. They voted for the man who openly said he would make life harder and kick people out of their homes, and they gleefully enjoyed it thinking it was only people they disliked.

I’m all for people learning lessons the hard way when they refused to see reason. Especially when the reason was to be kind and empathetic in the first place.

And on top of that for most government workers their paychecks have been remarkably stable. Assuming you’ll always be employed plus easy credit and bad financial habits are a bad combination

It never means anything until it effects them personally. Their family, their friends. Until then it’s nothing.

We really are dealing with people who do not have empathy.

They’ve been spoonfed for so long that they forget that they’re the poor people. That sounds mean, but holy fuck, I don’t need snap. I personally don’t need welfare. I’m doing okay - but I voted for those things because I know people do depend on them. But hooray I guess they voted to lower my taxes probably? I guess enjoy not being able to afford food when I voted to try to protect that?

I think these next 4 years we’re going to see a lot of Americans see how much the depend on the federal government. My brain broke when I saw the woman a couple weeks ago who said “I voted for you, but now you’re cutting SNAP?”

He literally said he was going to. You voted that you wanted that

I did not understand this. “I cant vote for her because she is bad on the issue i care about, so i will vote for the candidate with an even worse stance!” And to those who didnt vote, well no vote in our shit system is a vote against whatever you prefer.
