It’s like the US only realized the cost of trump’s bullshit after the fact.
NATO made European nuclear ambitions less essential and thus helped reduce nuclear proliferation. When the US threatens that alliance and shows itself to be completely unreliable (does anyone expect donald to launch nukes in defence of Europe?) Then Europe is almost forced to get a European nuclear deterrent.
In the meantime, thank fuck for Charles deGaulle.
Oh wow, I haven’t heard autotune the news since they raping everybody in here!
Oh fully agree. I’m in a similar spot though I’m an okay-ish manager, I don’t like it and much prefer my actual job.
I’m not sure how common my experience is as I work in a large non profit and while union, my union group is pretty free wheeling (fewer protections but fewer restrictions.) Anyway, we’ve gotten around the problem by just adding words to or changing words in my title.
This has had the effect of allowing me to do my job, get raises as basically deserved and look like I’m advancing. Admittedly, my manager etc are very understanding and most of the senior leadership knows me, so take from that what you will.
I wouldn’t want the hardest worker to be the automatic promotion. We’ve all worked with someone who means well, works hard but is dumb as a brick. God help us if they get promoted.
Edit: Okay, I guess I’m the only one who has ever been managed by a hard working, well meaning idiot?
Not mine but one day my buddy’s 6 year old asked “what’s parking tips?” My buddy being a veteran dad gives him some generic parking advice, doesn’t think much of it until later when he hears his kid singing along to the shaboozy song but instead of “everyone at the bar getting tipsy” he’s sing about how everyone getting parking tips.
Ahhh, thank you! I didn’t look particularly closely. Neat that Lemmy has that system, wonder if it always did.
Did you mean to screenshot the post?
Or if this is a “but you participate in society…” Comment, cool. I like spreading the word about piefed so folks know there is a system where you can note users and thus moderate your responses before expending good faith effort etc.

Admittedly, the .ml works too. I just hate tarring everyone with the same brush but damned if y’all don’t keep reinforcing the stereotype.
(No idea how a note only I can see is social credit but hey, what are facts to a fool?)
Lemmy didn’t have a system like that when I was using it. But yeah, it’s super useful.
I just asserting that people generally had more down time in the past.
By using total instead of share. Which also means there is even a more gigantic number of people with more wealth and leisure than any point in human history.
Do you see why using total number is mind numbingly silly?
Posts like these make me so happy for piefed’s note system so I now know never to engage with your ignorant ass.

Are you trolling?
The number of people living happily in luxury unimaginable to 99% of people who have ever lived is also FAR greater than at any time in human history.
About .6% of the world is considered as living in modern slavery.
In say, the feudal era, that percentage would be some 70 or 80 times higher.
Maybe you should do some reading?
Is that an actual question?
I imagine any number of slaves would disagree with you on the downtime.
Life back in the day was so much easier!
Just so dumb on so many counts.
Never watched the new one but I occasionally get Springtime for Hitler stuck in my head because I guess my brain wants to see what happens if I accidentally mumble lyrics around people.
… Any chance one of you fine folks knows an easy, Linux friendly software so I can make something like this? I just wanna put the crude moving captions/images on gifs etc and make gif meme content but am held back by a complete and utter lack of knowledge.
