I have a vacation to the EU planned in December. Wondering how much more expensive it’s gonna get by then.
Wow. I’m looking at all these “no” responses and they ring so much of the MAGAt’s yelling about “anchor babies”.
I mean that’s credit cards in general. The alternative would be to switch to a debit card, but as a consumer there’s quite a few protections I’d lose out on like charge backs and fraud protection.
I have one of their cards but I pay my balance off every month. They have got to hate me.
Only 150 miles? Damn that’s bad. Minimum is 300 and that’s on the low end.
I could tell recently. They’ve been seriously fucked up for Closed Captions. Only made worse by a bug recently where every episode starts with them enabled even if I have them turned off in the settings.
So she was completely fine with everything else, it’s only because of one small exemption that she thinks people shouldn’t vote for it… riiiight.
I remember that Publisher could make web pages too. How? Since it was supposed to be WYSIWYG it exported the entire thing as a single image and used an html image map for the links.
To all those people saying “well I’ll just show up late”, wait till they start denying entry if you are past a certain point with no refund, forcing people to sit through the ads.
Alamo Drafthouse already does this. Their pre-movie things are all related to the movie being shown, usually featurettes or meme videos related to it.
Anyone ask her point blank why she voted for it then?
If a hacker can do it, you can damn well bet multiple nation-states are just chilling in the systems slurping everything up.
Okay MacGoober, my point was if you ever did meet anyone as a result of your post here, you’d be tying your profile to who you are IRL.
Are you’re kidding, that’s the best time to go. Make them regret their choices, both then and now.
Brave that you’re using your Lemmy profile for your dating profile and that you’re willing to tie those comments to who who actually are in the real world.
Granted… you’re born in a house of someone living in the school district when your mom who was making ends meet by cleaning houses went into labor and couldn’t make it to a hospital.
(Couldn’t resist)
Didn’t say that it wasn’t there. Just that it got a lot worse after 9/11 and the following years.
It honestly still felt like a “sky’s the limit” mentality like it probably was in the 50s. The internet and computers were just really starting to catch on and everyone was talking about how great they would make our lives and people were doing what they could to deliver on that promise.
Terror was something that wasn’t really on peoples radars. You could still go directly to the gate to meet your loved ones when they travelled, people were endeavoring to be inclusive as you could see from TV and other media, and racists we’re very much immediately dismissed without much of a platform.
It wasn’t the best for LGBTQ people, especially with Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, but it was generally just considered a matter of time before it would be accepted.
And finally the climate wasn’t trying to actively kill you and people were talking about things we could do around renewables and other energy initiatives.
I’ll take off the rose colored glasses as I know there are some bad things, but it’s hard not to say that objectively it was a good time.
I dunno. I kinda consider 9/11 to be the shifting point. That’s when racism came roaring back and also the introduction of the Patriot Act. The 2008 crash was just the solidification of the shit show to come.
No, he uses a different outfit when he’s doing that.

Where do you wish you were born, and why?
No control over to whom, just where.

Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be?
May be phrasing it wrong, but I look at actions like Labor rights, Pride, Civil Rights, Black Panthers, etc. where actions of protesters felt much intense and made more of an impact in actually changing things vs now where there are protests but it feels like it constantly falls of deaf ears.
Have we just not hit that breaking point yet? Have we collectively been beat down so hard? Or have we forgotten how to truly fight for rights? Or… am I just completely off the mark and missing something else?

What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?
Edit: What do you judge them for?

What was life like for the "average" person living in Nazi Germany
We’re seeing in the US that majority of the people are being apathetic or ignorant to what is going on as it doesn’t directly affect them, and others are pointing out that we’re on the same route as Germany. Once Hitler seized power and then later when the county split, what was life like for those people that didn’t say or do anything? Assuming they weren’t in a targeted class, did they just go on and live their lives normally? I know there was a drop in the quality of living for them, but did they not know any better? Was it a state of constant fear, or was there “no war in Ba Sing Se”
I’m just curious what majority of the population here would potentially experience.

Just want to leave a goodbye


And hope my new account reaches these numbers soon
