mean_bean279to politics •Reporters Without Borders Decries 'Wave of Violence' Against Journalists at LA ProtestsEnglish14·19 天前Completely agree. We should have gotten rid of the law. It was born out of racism and restricts our rights in Cali.
mean_bean279to politics •Reporters Without Borders Decries 'Wave of Violence' Against Journalists at LA ProtestsEnglish302·19 天前The people of sh.it.just.works and Lemmy.world both loved to try and act like I was out of line for calling for open carry the other night. Unfortunately California state law doesn’t allow for it. I think that it’s the only way to get them to back off with the Marines, the National Guard and with ICE though. If they’re not going to be afraid of us then they’re never going to change and the people saying “don’t give them a reason to escalate” will keep saying that up to the first battles at which point they’ll run and cower.

It’s not an escalation of violence if you don’t use it. It’s a threat to escalate to violence. If they aren’t afraid of you then they’re not going to change.
When they declare martial law are you going to be saying the same thing and hoping by just chanting loudly you change their mind?
mean_bean279to News•2,000 National Guard troops will be sent to L.A. amid clashes over immigration raids - Los Angeles TimesEnglish3·20 天前What’s the acceptable number of dead people before also showing you’re armed is acceptable? Is it 5? 10? Maybe 1000?
If you pull up with guns they may kill you, but you have a better fighting chance than not. Plus if you were already going to die, since you’re so kind to sacrifice some people, wouldn’t you rather take some of them with you?
You’re playing by a made up set of rules where you think you being more moral than them makes you superior but it makes you dead and a loser.
mean_bean279to News•2,000 National Guard troops will be sent to L.A. amid clashes over immigration raids - Los Angeles TimesEnglish10·20 天前You act like I’m advocating murder. I’m advocating letting the government know that we can also have weapons and fight back. That doesn’t make me a fucking nut job, it makes me someone who has read a history book.
Civil disobedience has almost never worked, compared to armed disobedience. Even if those weapons are never fired. The point isn’t to go in shooting, it’s to get the military and police to back down and give the people what they demand.
You’re advocating for us to all roll over and wait until this administration gives us what we’re politely but firmly asking for. Which will never happen. They live for a show of force.
Keep holding your beliefs, it’ll be the last thing through your smug brain before the government executes you.
mean_bean279to News•2,000 National Guard troops will be sent to L.A. amid clashes over immigration raids - Los Angeles TimesEnglish31·20 天前I love how you mention “they” aren’t going to kill unarmed protestors, and then proceed to mention a literal event in which they did. This country is founded on the government and corporations killing unarmed protestors.
mean_bean279to Lemmy Shitpost•I'm still not sure how to do this actually oh wait maybe... nope.English4·21 天前You can also just breath onto the bag too. Just enough to get the condensation to lightly form and it does the same thing. Although I also just grab a drop of water that’s on the produce container where it sprays sometimes.
mean_bean279to News•2,000 National Guard troops will be sent to L.A. amid clashes over immigration raids - Los Angeles TimesEnglish448·21 天前My only complaint (and I get to blame Regan) is that we can’t open carry here in Cali. That would help stop a lot of federal response if we had that capacity again.
I’m not for destroying government property since that’s property that belongs to the people, but I also respect that change doesn’t happen with complacency. Plus if it was a peaceful protest for Jan 6ers then why is this not considered one?
Every day I wish we didn’t have the current admin in charge since they lack capacity and bandwidth to take care of the real economic issues facing our generation and time.
Completely agree though that the national guard is in control of the governor. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if Newsom agrees to bring them in if the feds kick in FEMA funding like they’re supposed to.
mean_bean279toUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Family of Boulder suspect detained by immigration officersEnglish161·25 天前Fuck that guy, but also this is some North Korea style shit of making a whole family pay for his crimes. As far as we have heard the wife even brought the police his other phone and told them they didn’t know about it, but did, so far it seems, easily provide answers for them.
mean_bean279to Lemmy Shitpost•Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄English192·25 天前There’s a great video from WSJ with their exec team that talks about how those notifications are hugely beneficial both to their users, and to their revenue. Even if you pay for the full thing like I do you still get those notifications. They aren’t “desperate” they’re targeted specifically to get people to come back and keep learning. They also don’t care about showing you ads as much since their majority of money comes from paying users. If anything the ads are to just get you to pay for the app.
The stock market did not in fact hit its all time high today.
The stock market works in quarters mostly. Check back in post Q2/H1 and you’re likely to see the impacts then.
They still have shoppers in them. Plus their suits/business attire can be nice to look through if you don’t want to pay Nordstrom or higher prices.
That said, it isn’t just Macy’s. When everyone is cutting their forecasts this early in the year (most started early in Q2) then it adds to a bigger picture.
mean_bean279to Transit•This led to a very confusing discussion in the replies about the varying fares and systems of public transit in the Oakland-San Francisco areaEnglish121·1 个月前It’s the Bay Area. Money perspective is completely different. The cost just to across the bay bridge is like $10 (might still be $8) already now. Either way you’re still saving money, but the time savings is huge. That drive from Oakland into SF can take 1+ hour to go that 12 miles. It’s brutal.
mean_bean279to politics •Influencer who attended Trump’s memecoin dinner says he got a ‘Walmart steak’—and no access to the presidentEnglish891·1 个月前People are acting like this man got conned or like they’re stupid. This was a bribe for a get out of jail free card. If you’re rich and make your money in black market ways this is the best possible decision you can make. Your name is on a list in front of the president even if you didn’t meet him. That means a pardon in the future.
mean_bean279to News•Target calls price hikes a 'very last resort' for offsetting tariffs as sales slumpEnglish182·1 个月前In the article it says the CEO specifically called out the political pushback from pulling those programs in their quarterly earnings report…
In this case the main point of his conversation was that raising prices was inevitable due to tariffs, but that they’re going to try and “hold out” as long as possible. Whatever that means, but I suspect it’s trump appeasement so he doesn’t try and call them out. Which is also stupid.
mean_bean279to Cars - For Car Enthusiasts•Tesla starts accepting Cybertruck trade-ins, confirms insane depreciation (35-45%)English151·1 个月前Maybe you should read the article then before commenting since it calls out that the car has been on sale for 1.5 years.
mean_bean279to Showerthoughts•The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities.English10·1 个月前If you scroll just a little pass the surface level of their account you can see that OP has posted a dozen times in the Bills community.
Modern family.
It’s just funny enough to be entertaining and has some loose plot that’s fine to follow. Easily forgettable, but great for throwing on. Also, it’s cool to watch the kids on that show grow up over its 10 year run.
Community
Parks and rec
Are others I would toss on for easy to watch. Although community and P&R hide a TON of jokes that make it even funnier if you pay attention.
