Yeah took me a second, but definitely AI. I thought 2 Scream posters was weird, but the Space Jam one is all whacked, she has one shoe and one bare foot, and that’s almost crystal Pepsi. Explains the uncanny appearance of her face.

Does it classify overtime as “more than 160 hours worked in a 4 week period”, because that’s the original language I saw. Can still work you to death and not pay extra.

Black coffee, medium to light roast.

Tea with a touch of honey, maybe a bit of milk or cream depending on the flavor.

I’m wondering what her specialty is, it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s something the administration wants to ban. Of course, that’s pure supposition since it’s not listed in the article, but an effective way to ban women’s health and affirming care would be to remove those that provide that care.

Top. Men.

I think Brave New World is really a cut above most of the other dystopian novels. The themes of conditioning and being overwhelmed with work, games, drugs and sex so much you don’t care about anything else are incredibly relevant in the current era.

Don’t leave your friends alone at the bar.

Tried calling mine, got a generic “the wireless customer is not available” response. Wtf

Edit: was ab to get through after repeated calls. Keep trying!

I’m in the process of getting certified to be a nurse in New Zealand. Fuck this country.

Myself. No one is looking out for me.

It’s somehow even worse if you’re trans and American. Honestly I almost wish blatant oppression would begin so I could seek asylum somewhere.

Thank you, that was a good read.

I’d like to leave the United States first. Someplace diverse where I can walk or use public transit, and that has clean water and air. If there’s wilderness, hiking trails, or any other kind of nature relatively close that would be pretty swell.

Enjoy it. As long as you aren’t busting out laughing at a funeral this sounds like a gift.

Folks like you are why I love lemmy. Thanks!

I’m not being dismissive of their view, I understand the need for self-preservation. I think the crux of it is how do I get folks who agree things are going wrong to move from that space into one of more action? Almost everyone I’m talking to at work agrees with me, but no one is interested in organizing or preparing, and that’s what baffles me most.

I don’t know myself - I don’t have some grand plan or idea. Im a regular person (albeit one with a better historical understanding of history due to education). I’m just scared about what’s coming next, and I’m completely isolated at the end of the day. Rather than buy a bunch of guns and ammo, I would prefer to connect with folks to build mutual support, or to prepare to strike/protest/boycott (or whatever seems most effective at the time).

Thank you.

I’m not lecturing, I’m asking for help on how to approach this. This is closer to frustrated bitching than lecturing.

Most of the folks I talk to hear agree with me that things are going wrong, or that x,y, or z is a problem, but not enough to do anything about it. I have heard a few times that, " I want to do something, but I have to protect myself."

I used that term to show that they are privileged folks who likely won’t be directly targeted by the administration, at least at first.
