If he were said to be omnipotent, this would be an interesting conundrum. But he isn’t so it doesn’t really work?

Is this another thing that the rest of the world didn’t know the US doesn’t have?
Why could that possibly be?
(Hint: The answer is in the article you didn’t continue reading the moment you found an excuse for inaction.)
I’m not sure it’s ever legit for the job-hunter to be paying the recruiters. It would normally be the employer.
A % commission doesn’t give that much incentive to find you the very best job as opposed to the first one that will do. You’re paying them a percentage but they’re looking at the return per hour of work they put in. You’ll come under a lot of pressure to accept the first job on offer simply because that job gives them the best return even if it is a smaller cash amount than the best job they could possibly find (if they put the time in).
Their incentives do not align well with your incentives. So best avoided, IMO.
Using the wrong picture is almost as ridiculous as reducing his career to Dumbledore. For shame.
Comfortably-off customers casting aspersions on “minimum wage workers” are the absolute pits.
There is lots to say here but you are too clueless to say any of it. FFS
“90% of content moderators are foreigners. What we have experienced during the process is very hard… spending three months without receiving a salary, in a country that isn’t yours. You cannot pay the rent, you cannot buy food,” Nkuzimana explains. Cori Crider – co-director of Foxglove, a British organization that is supporting the workers in this process – adds that this situation “forces [the content moderators] to continue accepting insecure jobs to remain in [Kenya], despite the serious risk to their mental health.” Moderators have resorted to crowdfunding, so that they can support their families as the legal fight unfolds.
Just highlighting the exploitation of migrant workers here, like much of Twitter’s remaining workforce, apparently. It also reminded me of this story: The fishermen:
On November 22, Joanne circulated a letter among the migrant crew. “I have been made aware the crew members are contacting an outside representative,” it read, possibly referencing a call Quezon made to Stella Maris seeking help for Susada. “I am also aware that crew members have been leaving their port without permission or making our office aware. Sadly the actions by these crew members are beginning to ruin the trust and faith we have placed in our Filipino crew.” It concluded by noting they would make reports to local police and UK immigration authorities “if necessary”.
These people are fucking sick. The whole system that denies people the legal right to work just so they can be more easily exploited is fucking sick.
I’m going to go and punch some walls. Laters.
There’s only so much time in the day. And far too easy to waste it arguing pointless things with random strangers on the internet.
In this case, their motive does not matter. They did you a favour shutting it down before you wasted any more time thinking about something that does not matter at all.
Kbin does Lemmy and Mastadon.
You can follow Lemmy communities on your Mastadon account. But I wouldn’t recommend it. You get a string of out-of-context posts dominating your feed.
You can follow Lemmy communities from Mastadon but not the other way around. And it doesn’t work well anyway.
You can use Kbin for both Lemmy and Mastadon.
But Mastadon content is not very Lemmy-like so if all you want is the BBC toots, but not a Mastadon account, you might as well bookmark bbc.social and scroll it occasionally.
Ah yes, the massive (pun intended) drawback of hashtags. Unless you actually wanted to follow a mix of news and porn.
It’s instant verification for all their accounts and an instance that won’t disappear on them.
For those who boycott, Sodastream are an Israeli company. I believe Drinkmate has its origins in wanting an alternative to that. Just so everyone can choose their side.
Read it yourself, but think it through this time.
And having seen your edit of the OP, I quit Facebook something like 15 years ago and only ever had fake name accounts.
I quit Twitter the day Musk took over. I quit Reddit the night before it went dark. I’ve been boycotting Google as much as is possible for well over a decade.
Have I polished my halo enough for you to stop sneering and start growing up?
FFS
I have trouble believing that humans can’t get by without meat, or cars, or carbon fuel, or mass-produced clothes, or supermarkets, or <insert your pet obsession here>.
It does not matter what you believe, or what you prioritise. Other people have different beliefs and have made different choices. If you want them to think and choose differently, don’t start off by telling them that they’re scum while you polish your imaginary halo.
And for fucks sake don’t fill the Fediverse up with so much narcissistic, whiny crap that everyone who isn’t you fucks off somewhere else.
This is not hard.
Neither time nor energy are infinite. We all have to make choices. If you want people to make different choices, try carrots instead of sticks.
And if you want people to decide that the Fediverse a better place to be, stop filling it up with whining about how not everyone has joined it yet.
You insult billions of people on the basis that they don’t do exactly what you do but find it insulting when someone points out your hypocrisy?
Grow the fuck up.
Yes they are. Probably not in the country that calls it transit, mind. And lots of people would like to be able to have more private conversations in public, whether or not they’re travelling at the time.
Plus, I’ve seen a lot of threads over the years from gamers, or the people who have to live with them, looking for something exactly like this.
