What blows my mind is that segmented runs were ever allowed. I understand it for longer runs, multiple hours, but a sub 4 minute run should never allow cuts.

I did that for a long time, but some posts are NSFW for other reasons and I hate missing those. So I just manually block the random adult content myself.

New Zealand has made itself the best country for those in sex work in c/globalpolitics

I think sex work isn't seen as work in many countries, so globally, it's relevant to highlight the right way to protect people.

That's a good point, didn't they want to make it illegal to be against racism?

I prefer a more stochastic approach.

The paying for boosted accounts to be on a leaderboard for a game he can't play is just peek cringe.

I was actually bummed to have to stop eating McDonald's. It was my go to comfort fast food. Between Trump's photo op and Luigi, I just can't support them anymore.

Imagine getting assigned Lemmy. Reddit and Facebook are massive departments and Lemmy is one cubicle with a Linux machine and two chairs.

Text from article:

David Rice, a disabled Army paratrooper who has been on probation since joining the U.S. Department of Energy in September, also learned Thursday night that he had lost his job.

Rice, who has been working as a foreign affairs specialist on health matters relating to radiation exposure, said he’d been led to believe that his job would likely be safe. But on Thursday night, when he logged into his computer for a meeting with Japanese representatives, he saw an email saying he’d been fired.

“It’s just been chaos,” said Rice, 50, who had just bought a house in Melbourne, Florida, after he got the job.

Rice said he agrees with the Trump administration’s goal of making the government more efficient, but objects to the random, scattershot approach being taken.

Alt Text: A screenshot of two posts on Lemmy in continuous scroll mode. Top post is a quote from George Carlin saying, "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers." The post immediately after is a group photo of Moms For Liberty, a radically stupid and racist group of KKKarens smiling with dead eyes.
