11·3 months agoThere’s actually several scenarios where you can yell fire in a crowded theater
Regardless, they are 2 completely separate situations. Until leadership gets serious about white collar crime, we’re stuck with what we have
Just to add to this, a low volume drug that is not taken regularly doesn’t fit in well with a company that specializes in selling products in bulk

JBar2toUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•AI is eating up Pennsylvania's power, governor threatens to pull state from the grid — new plants aren't being built fast enough to keep up with demand
27·5 months agoI haven’t looked into this, but why aren’t states creating a very expensive tier for energy consumption?
And if the problem is that it would impact other businesses, why not narrowly tailor such a tier that AI companies would be the ones impacted?
If it’s going to take infrastructure to support AI, then the AI companies should fund it via taxes.
Oh, right, that’s socialism according to the GOP
JBar2toPrivacy@fedia.io•I was aware that phone apps hoover up private data but I had no concept of the scope of it until I enabled the DuckDuckGo App Tracking Protection.
3·5 months agoYep it’s ridiculous. Accuweather is pretty bad, but Duckduckgo blocked 3342 tracking attempts on my phone yesterday, all from Google
They’re typically small businesses, what reason do they have to lie about business being down?
I’m sure they have the data, and I’m sure if a local government or journalist wanted to, they could look at tax records to see revenue impact
I don’t think anyone would argue that such enhancements are a bad thing in the long run if 1) If the enhancements ultimately bring in more shoppers/customers, 2) there is still parking available in the area, and 3) the businesses can survive 6-12 months of reduced revenues
My response was really directed at comments implying that the businesses are essentially whining. There’s a very real impact during construction, and certain businesses could be hurt by reduced parking, particularly in the states where the car is king
In defense of business owners, when their customers are trained from birth to drive everywhere, their customers expect parking. When there is no parking, they lose business
Every major US city receives immense backlash from local businesses when roads/parking are unavailable due to added bike lanes, traffic calming projects that reduce parking, or much-needed major construction projects such as water main or sewer work. This is happening right now in downtown Burlington, VT, for example

There’s no easy answer in most cases

General Discussion•I just felt crazy feelings for this one woman at my office
181·6 months agoIt’s one thing to say “I’m really attracted to her, but I’m too much of an introvert to initiate a conversation”
But this is sounding like stalker-type fixation level shit
That’s as kind as I can put it
Beside the point. You want tariffs? Follow the law, it’s that simple
To govern within the boundaries of the law, one often needs to build coalitions. Those are guardrails established by democracy
And tariffs are perfectly legal when they go through the proper channels. So, the administration just needs to go through the proper channels and work with the legislative branch to pass such tariffs. And they shouldn’t be predicated on a bullshit national emergency

/r/50501 Mirror@50501.chat•Any member of Congress who refuses to impeach Trump must be protested and removed from officeEnglish
3·7 months agoJesus fucking christ.
Impeachment requires a simple majority in the House, which is highly, highly unlikely to happen
Conviction and removal requires 2/3 majority in the Senate, which is abso-fucking-lutely not going to happen given that the Repubs have a simple majority and are are lapdogs of Trump
Anyone crying about impeachment are either so completely uninformed that they should be lobotomized for the sake of the Republic, or else they are so delusional that they should be involuntarily committed for observation and treatment
Grow the fuck up and start actually doing something useful. Protest, curb stomp nazis, assassinate fascists
Do anything useful, but stop clutching pearls on social media
He said his manufacturing cost is $650 using US components vs $550 using foreign components. So the manufacturing cost is about 18% more
But he also said that he’s selling the US-made phone for $2000 vs $799 for the one using foreign components, so the consumer (retail) cost is about 150% more
His profit margin on the US phone is a bit more than twice that of the Chinese phone
I don’t know if he’s comparing apples to apples (ha!) when he says his Chinese phone is comparable in cost to an iphone, because the specs could be totally different
To only be $100 more to make it in the US seems surprising, but perhaps less so if they are outdated components
