He doesn’t think much of anything himself. He’s a scared little boy, because that’s where he cut his teeth. He has no vision for anything, just reaction and fear.

Spontaneous combustion

Are you a white house staffer carrying a heavy stack of top secret documents? Do you desperately need both hands to vape or to text roger stone a progress report? Try DOCDASH!

Just request a docdasher in app and a helpful person like Yvegeny, Dmitri or Boris will show up to the white house on a motorcycle, take your documents from you, not copy and transmit them, and just keep them very safe, like tippy top safe.

Whole point is to give the aesthetics of a standalone app… Ridiculous executive slop.

Not assuming. I just didn’t see you express that disgust, so even the omission says something.

IMO you need a lot more passion in your response, here and IRL to colleagues. These are obviously broken people around you. You smiling and nodding and coming here to quietly discuss away from them helps perpetuate their nonsense. Alternatively, if you had a gut reaction of “Dude, what the fuck are you talking about? How are you supporting your partner if you aren’t taking that full leave? A newborn is 24/7 physical/emotional/mental gauntlet. Are you just leaving them to deal with all that, that’s horrible, man… Do better.” might have knocked some sense into them.

We break these toxic cycles by speaking to our peers with confidence and putting idiots on the spot by holding a mirror up to their childish bullshit. Sounds like you have the right position generally, I’m encouraging you to express it openly and forcefully to be a part of the change you seem to be in support of.

Not sure what this post is about, OP… What are you actually asking?

Paternity leave is obviously vital if you’re a decent parent and partner. If you have it available you take it and you focus on your family. Your mentioned group of coworkers sound like fucking degenerate scumbags stuck on a pointless treadmill. I feel sorry for their partners and their children.

You should take some time to consider why you didn’t have a visceral reaction of outright disgust and had to come here and ask for others to chime in. Tune in, bud. It’s all about your kids now. Don’t look for worthless approval from worthless people.

The headline incorrectly suggests zelensky had a meltdown in white house, as it’s worded.

These headlines man… “After TRUMP white house meltdown”

Finally a fucking accurate headline. All of this “argument between zelensky and trump” horseshit was so immediate and widespread. Trump couldn’t even handle his own unjustified attack. They needed vance to to start with verbal diarrhea and buzz words so dementia donny dipshit had things to free associate with. They ganged up and bullied to try to force him to break, and he held.

President Krasnov is a fucking bitch

Alright, let’s do it then?

Blackout Friday

• Every Friday until he’s gone and damage is reversed

• We don’t transact at all each Friday.

• We directly call the businesses we would have shopped at that day to tell them the dollar amount we’d be spending with them if democracy wasn’t under attack.

• And/or email their corporate with the same message.

Maybe they can dismiss a total boycott that as a hollow, reactionary promise that will pass, but saying “I will shop with you much less” feels much more real and they can see it being enough to reverse their endless growth line. They care about one thing.

Who wants to post and get this started?

SO MUCH commerce surrounds a day at school. You disrupt that along with everything else.

If Mom doesn’t have to go to work, she doesn’t have to stop for that Starbucks on the way in and fill the gas tank. She doesn’t have to pay to park or feed the meter. If she’s not taking the kid to school, she doesn’t have to drop them off early at early day care and doesn’t have to give them lunch money to spend. If you’re not at work, you wouldn’t eat that shitty Subway at lunch and wouldn’t have to go to that gathering at TGI Fridays after work. Little things that add up. Point is to show them that there is a light switch. You turn it off for a day to tell them you could turn it off longer if needed .

Headline doesn’t want to say someone’s name…

Remember that if you can see something that obvious, imagine all the quiet changes people are making that aren’t being immediately found. Not only the deliberate horseshit from musk and his facsy tots, but other attempts to distort data from traditional bad actors like China and Russia

Good point

A savvy consumer, glad you mentioned. Felt better than hitting it on the nose.

Sure, the app that nailed this might separate itself as the popular option for zeitgeist to grab onto, but then it distributes users to many servers (as the app itself is an aggregator that’s agnostic to server. But yes, rush of that single app becoming “Lemmy” in many people’s minds.

But you likely need to treat migration and understanding nuance of the tech as two different user journeys. Rather than solving problem though, likely better to stop and ask why we even want more users (if we even do?).

Something something… Only phone number I remember is your mother’s phone number (Implying that is for when I’m calling her to arrange a session of sexual intercourse, that she willingly and enthusiastically participates in).

Corporations and politicians: “oh great news everyone… It worked. Time to kick off phase 2…”

• Replace all the water trump wasted in California with brawndo
• Sell mortgages for eggs, but call them patriot pods
• Welcome to Costco, I love you
• All medicine replaced with raw milk enemas
• Handjobs at Starbucks
• Ow my balls, Tuesdays this fall on CBS
• Chocolate rations have gone up from 10 to 6
• All government vehicles are cybertrucks
• trump nft cartoons on all USD, incest legal, Ivanka new first lady.
• Public executions on pay per view, lowered into deep fried turkey fryer on white house lawn, your meat is then mixed in with the other mechanically separated protein on the Tyson foods processing line (run exclusively by 3rd graders) and packaged without distinction on label.
• FDA doesn’t inspect food or drugs. Everything approved and officially change acronym to F(uck You) D(umb) A(ss)
