  • My dude, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. That’s me in fact.

    Even if I had a contract it wouldn’t matter as I live in a right to work state, they can fire me at any point without warning or cause.

    Having any real employment contract is NOT the norm here.

    Non office jobs are more likely to be unionized and this have a contract than office jobs.

    That’s the type of thing non W2 self employed contractors or union members might have to lean back on, not rank and file full time office employees.











  • So why dont we have tarrifs on the ones that are produced in Mexico too?

    Mexico is not China.

    It is in our best interest to have a stable and economically improving neighbor on our southern border.

    Your all or nothing / black or white view of the world is extremely childish & naive. Simple solutions to complex problems are just how politicians manipulate those who don’t want to think to hard. Stop pretending that global trade policy is a simple solution arena & try thinking a little harder.

    I’m not pretending.

    I’m pointing out the flaw it the whining.

    There’s a lot of should and shouldn’t statements that are just wish fulfillment and not reality.

    Now that you’re done bitching about the housing crisis…what’s your actual proposed solution?

    Should we take the home from the guy renting you that apartment so you can have it? Force lower rents, leaving him unmotivated to bother renting it?

    What’s your point beyond rents are too high? We all know there’s a problem, how do you propose we fix it, because landlords aren’t the root of the issue but this whole thread seems to want to pretend they are.

    It’s almost like, in such a huge country, there exist people with different tastes.

    I, an American, went to India once. The hotel restaurant had a breakfast buffet. On one side was a glorious Indian spread. The other was some nauseating English breakfast spread, with like baked beans (that’s for summer BBQs not breakfast!).

    Anyway me and my buddy head straight to the good side, when the hotel staff woman came running over to warn us that it was too spicy. She gently walked us to the gross English food. We confirmed with her, numerous times, that the Indian food was very spicy. We then dug in on the eatible food (the Indian side) and made a friend with the hotel staff lady.

    It was somewhat spicy, but amazing.

    Some Americans think black pepper is too spicy, some eat ghost peppers as a light snack, I am in between.



  • Because it’s shit.

    If I apt install an app, I expect it NOT to be a snap. I want it to use shared libraries, not bring its own along. They hide from you that they are installing the snap not deb package.

    Then you run into all sorts of permissions issues accessing the filesystem from the snap app… Because snap is rather broken in this regard.

    Functionally snap is a worse solution then deb, but I guess it’s easier on the developer/maintainer as you don’t get lost in shared dependincy hell.

    I feel snaps should be an option if you need cutting edge version of a software that can’t use your shared libs, but never the default install method.


  • I would say isreal has a right to defend itself, but not if they keep stealing land and oppressing the people who attack them.

    If you want to defend yourself, first, you have to stop attacking the people who you claim to be defending against.

    Hamnas is human garbage, but one can not separate the creation of Israel from the ghettoizing of the Palestinian people.

    Nobody deserves terrorist attacks, but this didn’t come out of the blue.

    Isreal needs to own up to it’s complicity in the violence before they try to claim to be the sole victims of it.
