politics @lemmy.world•Feds forcibly yank woman in medical scrubs from car as she screams she's a US citizen
2·3 months agoWho knows. I’m more likely to hear the complaints in spring, about not being able to find good workers any more. My money is on that one.

18·3 months agoIt makes a point of slapping people who truly believe, even now, that all the ICE activity thus far has been against illegals.
Illegal only. For real. They believe that.
A maga relative in landscaping was mystified as to why half his employees had either left or were leaving and weren’t coming back for the next season. In his words: they’re believing all the lies and hype being spewed by the media.
In his mind, even now, ICE is only doing their job: removing people here illegally. Because media can’t be believed and is filled not with lies but terrible twisting of the truth.
So putting a face on this, that looks like MAGA, is about all that’s left to try to get their attention.

politics @lemmy.world•Young Democrats challenge aging incumbents in California's safe blue seats
1·3 months agoPeople keep voting for Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, and Ron Johnson on repeat, to name a few turds who have made headlines.
The Skyrim mod that plays Danger Zone when a dragon shows up.
Single player do whatever you like. Play your way. Example: the old DnD games like Neverwinter Nights and Baldurs Gate, I’d start a game by console commanding a Light/Lore (scholar iirc) ring and a stack of identify scrolls. Do what you like to remove the irritating part. Bag weight mods in Fallout, anyone?
Multiplayer, no, never.
You could argue that mod use is cheating, in the same sense that console commands are. That would mean almost everyone who has ever played Skyrim is a cheater alongside everyone who modded out Inquisition’s beige pajamas before BioWare added an alternative.

35·3 months agoThe AOC method. If they have a good record and actually care, like Bernie, (doubtful there are many), sure, leave them, otherwise, AOC them.
2-3 star reviews. This will help color in which 1 star reviews to believe.
Sadly, the 5 star review is the most questionable.
Aside about Amazon. What didn’t work. I do woodworking so I wear a respirator. 3M, dual cartridge. I found a carton of 30 pairs of P100 for $85 on Amazon. It was through the 3M store on Amazon. Legit, right? The filters that came appeared legit, and nowhere near expiration. The issue is, they sent a box of 6 pairs not a carton of 30 pairs. Customer service fixed it, or so they said. Again, my carton of 30 pairs was a single box of 6 pairs (5 to a carton, probably). Amazon did issue a refund but would not order a replacement. I couldn’t order a replacement, I didn’t trust it.
So, I went to 3M. There is no way to contact their customer service unless you’re a large contractor or seller. 3M store? I guess it’s just a pretty frame on Amazon. The 3M site itself links back to Amazon and 2 others for purchase. The two others: one has no availability and the other wants $100+ for that box of 6 pairs of P100 filters.
This isn’t uncommon. You try to buy direct, and may end up on Amazon anyway.
I never did get my carton of 30 pairs of P100 filters.

politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr.’s new CDC deputy director prefers “natural immunity” over vaccines
31·3 months agoWe wouldn’t need a shingles vaccine if it did.
Let’s be real. These guys will still be getting vaccines. It’s the plebs who will not.

8·3 months agoLet him go first. This dipshit should get the measles, have the immune restart, then (if he survives) go to Christmas dinner with all the sick relatives hiding that they’re sick.
Alternatively, the poster calculated the wrong answer, thus assuming this guy was wrong.

politics @lemmy.world•Senate Committee to Challenge Auto-Safety Mandates That Hurt ‘Affordability’ | Republicans question value of automatic braking, rear-seat reminders
4·3 months agoThe same basic, 2x4, light trucks, no frills, Nissan Frontier and Chevy Colorado have increased from $19k to $29k, last check, between 2019 and 2024. 4 cylinder, “truck shaped sedan” models, in terms of capacity and the ability to fit in any parking space.
That’s quite a reduction in MSRP.
Wage increases are not there. You typing it feels like a Mike Johnson sound byte. Jobs that paid $20-$24 in 2019 still pay $20-24 in 2025. Federal minimum wage remains at $7.25/hr, or $1160 a month for 40h/wk.
I’ll grant you, healthcare saw a jump, but with Covid, had it not, more of the work force would have switched careers. Most of those hourly personnel had not seen much in the way of pay increases since pre-2008, until Covid.

Technology@beehaw.org•Booking.com cancelled woman's $4K hotel reservation, then offered her same rooms for $17K
26·3 months agoBooking.com seems great until something goes wrong. Then, there’s no remediation.
Show up and discover a dirty, roach motel homeless flophouse instead of a vacation rental. The pictures are of the hotel but from a different time.
Good odds you won’t be able to get a refund.
Booking.com customer services words: We just talked to the owner, and they say it’s not like that, denied.
Send pictures. “Your picture…”. You mean pictures, plural? “No, there’s only one picture.” Try again. “Ok, I have multiple pictures.” And? “I don’t see the problem.” Mold isn’t a problem? “The owner says there’s no mold.” And the picture? “The owner says there’s no mold.”
Booking.com is awful.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is socialization so hard in the 2020s?
1·3 months agoI’m old, I know about magazines. I was curious about Gen Z. LPs shot up in price and scarcity due to younger generations so why not this. They even display LPs like visual art.




Literal spam, look at that guy.
