Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•New Delhi - during lockdown vs nowEnglish
2·15 hours agoDisrupt their established power networks and put the fear of gods in the survivors would go a long way.
It’s everywhere. Talking to a hvac guy at a local university. In thirty years his hourly has gone up $7. The Chancellor’s compensation has gone from just over a quarter to just over a million dollars.
The Epstein class brings all the milkshakes to the yard, And they’re like “boo, hoo, my pride”

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•New Delhi - during lockdown vs nowEnglish
8·20 hours agoStraight half? No. A select 3% a year for five years? Maybe. If you’ve seen any of the realistic critiques of the Thanos snap you know that doesn’t go well. Trimming down the fascists, oligarchs, nationalist, theocrats, tech barons, and similar greed and hate mongers should be enough without crashing everything.

Technology@lemmy.world•The New Cold War Is an Alibi for Tech Elites’ ImpunityEnglish
11·21 hours agoThere is a very American explanation for this. Capitalists have to run everything so Communists are seen as evil from the start. If you ignore how US minorities were treated, Russia and China were really up their citizens asses. Russia dropped the ball on the whole consumer electronics sector so you’re left with China and their Great Firewall, social monitoring, etc. Thus information control and Orwellian monitoring = China.
The reality is that both tankies and capitalist dick riders are just two raccoons in the same feed sack, they only came into it from different ends.
Of course the UK also catches flak for being an over monitored nanny state, depending on which way the wind is blowing.

Technology@lemmy.world•The FTC is cracking down on companies that charge you a "personalized price"English
16·2 days agoIf they scaled it to be charging musky $300k for a soda and charging a janitor 8¢ we wouldn’t be complaining.
An hour of labor definitely went up in price, it just doesn’t show on the paycheck side. Unless you look at the withholdings, some of it’s there.
I realized a while ago that I can’t afford to hire myself.

Work Reform@lemmy.world•Solar panels for surveillance but none for affordable power
1·2 days agoLooks like they are 45watt panels. Pull the out of the frame and put them in your own setup and they will look like any other. There is enough variety in panels that nobody can make a guess from looking at them. Especially without being invasive enough to need a warrant.

Technology@lemmy.world•One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their LivesEnglish
4·3 days agoI know a couple people who one could describe as “twat” who turn off traction control and abs, thinking they are going to be rally drivers on the way to McDonalds. They tend to end up in the ditch.
Subaru has been good. The lane warning was the only thing we turned off because it was just obnoxious. If something is beeping constantly and erratically, what’s the point? The lane centering had a tendency to pull towards semis when passing but that seems to have been fixed in an update. The only other thing that is more a quality of life is a way easily and preemptively to turn off the backup warning and breaking assist when pulling a trailer.

Work Reform@lemmy.world•"No precedent in American history!" NYT would have defended child labor.
5·4 days agoAll the big media companies seem to be owned by republican money men. Not having a president for something doesn’t mean anything. It’s one of the lamest arguments for protecting the people that are sitting on lazy money/power.

Technology@lemmy.world•Teen Boys Are Using Meta Glasses to Terrorize Girls at High Schools and Middle SchoolsEnglish
35·4 days agoFrom the opening part of the article, the problem is not just the glasses. The glasses are definitely an issue that needs to be sorted out society wide, but there is a problem with how these boys are raised. Badly raised boys have always been an issue but now they are being raised by manosphere incel influencers. The glasses just let them record their harassment to post for clout and to draw others into their bullying.
I have a ten minute window where it doesn’t matter when I leave the house, I get to work at the same time. If I leave before that I get to work fifteen minutes early and I’m not getting paid for that.
Call the local dojos. Ask if anyone wants to be in an action film. They need to look Asian and stand about the same height as Steven Seagull sitting down. We’ll pay them in exposure.

News@lemmy.world•Army will shut down a unit in Europe focused on learning drone warfare
9·5 days agoBy the end of Trump’s third term the army will be reduced to fighting with muskets and redigging Bunker Hill because that was good enough to beat the British. The Marines will look like the 90s recruiting ads, and the Airforce will be spending everything on the F-47 and bigger pointier missiles. The Navy will go over budget trying to redesign a coal power plant in the Trump class battleship and have nothing to show for it.
Mussolini started the fascist movement and was doing some serious aura farming ,as the kids would say. Going for rebuilding the Roman Empire would be a serious Minion bait.
Hitler passed him in evilness and had a penchant for ridiculous super weapons. Some of the cockups they had could have been Minion level.
Stalin was neck and neck with Hitler for evil, murder, and conquest. However, I think by the time they turn his way, the Minions would have looked at all the purges, holodomor, etc and just decided to take a personal vacation until the CIA showes up.

News@lemmy.world•Nebraska's largest school district asks police to stop using electric shock gloves on students
2·5 days agoBears are cool. Cops are racist. The few times tasers have been used instead of shooting people is almost certainly outnumbered by the total deaths from taser use. Taser use far exceeds the cases when they would be used in place of a bullet. These gloves aren’t anywhere close to being an alternative to shooting. They are gloves with a range of zero. There will be a short honeymoon before it’s just torture with an extra charge of resisting.

News@lemmy.world•Nebraska's largest school district asks police to stop using electric shock gloves on students
61·5 days agoWhat we have seen with Tasers (the company is Axon now and they are doing Flock camera things too) is that the line didn’t noticeably move. The cops still shoot as much as they want and use tasers mostly for “compliance” and laziness. Giving cops shock gloves won’t lower shootings, they will only increase torture. Thought exercise. Person outside of touch range, gun or gloves? Next scenario: cop turns on gloves, grabs civilian, and starts yelling “stop resisting”.
Taser/Axon coined the pseudoscientific term “exited delirium” as a cover for cops killing civilians with their tasers. This was cops tasing people for extended periods of time, even after handcuffed, and using tasers when they were not needed.

News@lemmy.world•Nebraska's largest school district asks police to stop using electric shock gloves on students
6·5 days agoOut all together. The reason for putting them in was to have an immediate response to a shooter. The actual effect is that students, with a very noticeable racial bias, are getting arrested for things that should be an in school issue. And they are doing same crap that we see cops doing in the streets.

Why you right escape clauses, requirements to purchase, minimum prices that are based on yearly market value, and say first right to purchase and not exclusive.
It amazes me how badly so many contracts are written. There are enough horror stories online that you almost shouldn’t need a business lawyer to help with the stipulations.
