  • Texas lawmakers file FURRIES Act, targeting animal roleplay in schools

    Jump

  • Is this happening so often that it requires a law?

    Not in any amount worth anyone's energy.

    Why not put that money, time, and effort into providing sexual education so people better understand how to not get pregnant, reducing the occurrence of abortions?

    Because the law must have those it binds, but does not protect..

    It's wild how often it helps answer "why are they doing this?!"

  • What is "surface"?

    In this context, I believe this is limiting to planets whose water is not deep inside the planet's crust somewhere, but exposed to its atmosphere.

  • Is it wrong to put your career first and push getting into a relationship further later?

  • I've gotten the most interest from others when I've been focused on my own goals, anyway.

    Try to relax and enjoy the ride. Relaxed people are attractive.

    Trust your future self to make good dating choices, when the opportunity arrives.

    That said, it took me awhile to wise up and establish some very basic fashion sense.

    If I could tell my past self one thing about dating, it would be:

    Classic looks never go out of style, but "not even trying" never goes into style.

    I took too long to figure that one out.

  • How should we approach taxing the wealthy in a practical manner?

    Jump

  • Another discussion point that always comes up is "Jeff Bezos can't pay that tax rate, it's all tied up in shares of Amazon. He would have to sell huge portions of Amazon to keep up with the taxes."

    And yes. That is the intent.

    But I'm not upset if folks would rather just eat him than deal with the logistics of it.

  • Recent examples of companies increasing exec pay and firing workers?

  • Might be easiest just to look up which ones aren't publicly traded on the stock market - which are the only ones that might not be doing that crap.

  • Hold a silent reverse auction. Whichever billionaires agree to the highest tax rate don't get eaten. The new billionaire tax rate is whatever the uneaten billionaires agreed to.

    Edit: Also, roll 4d10+50 and add it as a secret bid. If it happens to be the highest bid, eat all of the billionaires. This roll is the "public option" to prevent the billionaires from colluding to cheat the system.

  • MR. GOLEMBIEWSKI: Well, Your Honor, it is well known in this country that kids are addicted to these platforms. This is a mental health —

    THE COURT: It was well known when I was growing up that I was going to become a Satanist because I played Dungeons & Dragons. Is that — I don’t know what really that means. You can say that there’s studies, Judge, and you can’t ignore expert reports that say X.

    Delightful.

  • That's what the media cycles misses. There's been no better time in history to be a rich uninformed idiot. History will look back on this as the golden age of the rich idiot

  • House hearing abruptly ends after GOP lawmaker misgenders Sarah McBride

    Jump

  • Agreed. We can all give each-other a break for misgendering by mistake. But this was pretty clearly an intentional asshole. They even repeated it and defended it after being given a chance in case it was a mistake.)

  • Lemmy, what is your "I'm calling it now" prediction for the next 10 years?

  • $1000/month? Really?

    Some exaggeration may have occurred.

    But yes, 10x increases from previous business to business prices have been common lately. I'm just waiting to see which direct to consumer service tried it first.

  • Keating replied, “You will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way.” Self then adjourned the hearing.

    Good for him, standing up for a colleage and due process, too.

    If the government feels the need to recognize what's in our pants, the government needs reninded exactly where our boundaries lie.

    What's in my pants is whatever the fuck I tell them is in my pants.

  • I think they mean all Google docs gone unless we buy a $1,000.00 per month subscription, or something.

    We see that kind of massive price shift in business to business contracts all the time.

    Someone is bound to try it on regular consumers, and Google currently has the most leverage.

    In fairness to Google, they actually have better data export tools than most of their competitors... At least today.

    That said, not my prediction, I don't think it'll happen in ten years. I do think someone will try it. My money was on Evernote, but I think their best opportunity passed already.

  • Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit

  • No worries. Also I'm a little jealous of you, that today, for you, Tim Curry returned to life.

    That would brighten my day.

    I hope the rest of your day also is at least as good as learning Tim Curry is still alive.

  • ”"I’m not here to fight about bathrooms. I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families," she said."

    Fuck yeah. Rock on. I'm sorry she has to face this bullshit, but Delaware is lucky to have her.

  • Claudio Verequete lives about 200m from where the road will be. He used to make an income from harvesting açaí berries from trees that once occupied the space.

    "Everything was destroyed," he says, gesturing at the clearing.

    "Our harvest has already been cut down. We no longer have that income to support our family."

    He says he has received no compensation from the state government and is currently relying on savings.

    In case it's unclear that these people claiming to care about the climate are genuinely as bad as any cartoon villain out of Fern Gully.

    Edit: I wonder if we can get Tim Curry to record a public scolding of them. That would be a fitting publicity stunt to draw attention to this.

  • It feels like remote online conferencing should be mandatory for anyone claiming - during the meeting - to give a shit about the climate.

    This feels like a bare minimum guideline.
