I started working as a cook at 14

I walked to the restaurant close to my house, told the first person I saw “I want a job, but I don’t want to work with people”. They stuck me in the kitchen and taught me everything. Did that for 14 years.

The current Congress has been one of the least productive in terms of passing laws… But one they did pass was the Epstein Files Transparency Act. It was the best chance to hold perpetrators to account, and had bipartisan support (which is hard to come by these days).

What I’m getting at is nobody has said “oh well”, but a handful of people appointed to the right positions have blocked anything from moving forward with it. And that’s frustrating as hell. There are also tons of distractions, such as the war in Iran or anything about the ballroom, which can make it feel like The Trump-Epstein Files™ are behind us. But they’re not.

(Though they should be)

I’m freaking out trying to think of what I could pivot to as the industry implodes

So far, nothing that pays as well

You right

The People Under the Step

For some people, sure - actively choosing chrome despite knowing the kind of company Google has become is silly

But then I think about the people who have chrome pre-installed on their phones, with no ability to remove it. Despite using a different browser, they still got burned by this.

I do believe lemmings have a higher tech literacy than the average internet user, but I also believe tech literacy shouldn’t be a requirement to hide from ai.

The people who boast about using chrome and insist other browsers are trash absolutely had their faces eaten… But the people who did their best to avoid chrome did not

This is not a “leopards ate my face” situation.

I keep falling out of the hobby because I don’t want a printer to be my hobby - I want printing to be my hobby. But no matter how many times I try to pick it back up, my printer never produces a good print.

I’m on the other end of the swing again - looking for tuning tutorials to help get my cr10 printing well. I am very open to suggestions.

I do like tinkering with the printer, and I do want that control, but eventually it gets to a point where I just want it to work

Pizza pie!

People who give their cars a human name. “Jack got a flat tire” or “I need to get Petunia an oil change”

Don’t get me wrong, I certainly have had unique names for my car - “The White Wonder”, “The Papa Mobile”, “The truck” - but something about using human names is important to the people who do this, and I just don’t get it.

I like to braid my pubes for her pleasure

Frog and Toad are GOAT

That’s the one!

There is a word for people having jobs their name destined them to have, and there is a whole community on Lemmy dedicated to it that I found because of exactly what you’re pointing out.

I’ll try to find it and report back

… What?

I just read it for the first time and the things that really stood out to me were the parts about Israel

During these times, there will be an evil ruler in Israel who will wage war and cause cities to become desolate

And

The Antichrist will form an alliance with the ruler of Israel and will desire to occupy the coastal area. Where the author specifically calls out Gaza.

This was last updated June of 2020, well before the October 7th attacks that led to the (ongoing) genocide

Cool, sounds legit

The law is meant to be fair (which is a separate can of worms, but the goal is fairness). It is not meant to be moral, though it often follows what people generally consider to be moral, like don’t rape or murder people.

And, honestly, using the “reasonable person” argument here goes against your point - it indicates that people with different morals exist, and therefore morality must be subjective.

Honestly this is a pretty big topic in philosophy. It could be argued that morality is a human construct and therefore must be subjective.

Some people believe that not going to church each week is amoral, but some atheists think organized religion is amoral - who is right?

You and I can agree that murder is immoral. Would that stance change if we were on the jury for a murder trial and, if found guilty, the offender would be sentenced to death? If that doesn’t make us murderers, what makes the death penalty an appropriate and moral punishment?

Simply replying “false” indicates little to no thought on the subject or its nuance, and gives off strong “I’m 13 and this is deep” vibes
