That’s exactly the point. There should not be any consequences for cancelling a monthly subscription.

The people spoke loudly about what they wanted. I’m glad he listened

He doesn’t care. Even with a felony conviction, he still thinks he didn’t do anything wrong.

It all trickles down. Some paralegal will get stuck negotiating a deal

The US can’t even stop robocalls

In that situation, they wouldn’t find them.

But in many other situations, criminals do dumb things like writing their return address.

If they could escalate, shouldn’t they do that on their own home soil and the Ukrainian frontlines?

I wish the US would stop funding Isreal

Exactly. Its value becomes evident when a version gets to the stage where they can’t work. Very different from those that choose not to work.

Why isn’t lemmy taken over with bots yet? Is it just a matter of time?

AI is becoming a trigger word for me.

He’s starting to run low on money. Keep on going after him, he is hemorrhaging funds for legal defenses everywhere.

Hey what did I do? I just live here, because my parents lived here. I don’t support Abbott or any of the other crooks in this state either. Looking at you Ken Paxton you pervert.

I need this for Vimeo. I have a series I paid for and I own, but I can’t watch it offline and that’s super frustrating.

I did a screen recording and let one of the episodes run but I haven’t gotten around to doing the other episodes

Yes, and at the same time I went with thin wool socks too. And I’m in Texas where it’s hot and humid too. Wool socks were a game changer, they don’t hold onto moisture like cotton and synthetics do.

Yes they are, many of the ones in our town have EV chargers in the front row that is free. And then further out are the gas pumps that cost money.

How do you clean up afterwards?

I got the new Litter Robot 4. I was worried about the price, but after 5 months with 2 cats, I love it. It scoops the litter 15 minutes after they go and keeps the smells contained really well. We change the tray about every 5 days and it takes a regular kitchen trash bag. So it’s just as easy and taking out the trash. No regrets, money well spent

More like, you could be their house pet

Yep I’ve got my kids lines on Tello, very easy, no bs.

Uneducated people are willing to pay that much. It should be considered predatory lending to sign up a 19 year old for $100k of debt

Wow, chat gpt is getting pretty good…

Here’s a copy/paste from there, I’m impressed.

You raise an important point about being respectful of others' beliefs and the holidays they observe. It's helpful to be aware of the major holidays of different religions, especially when scheduling events. Here's an overview of key holidays for several major world religions:

Christianity

  • Christmas (December 25): Celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Considered a non-negotiable holiday by most Christians.
  • Easter (Date varies, usually in March or April): Celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. Another essential holiday in Christianity.

Judaism

  • Rosh Hashanah (Date varies, usually September or October): Jewish New Year, a time of reflection and repentance.
  • Yom Kippur (10 days after Rosh Hashanah): The Day of Atonement, considered the holiest day of the Jewish year.
  • Passover (Dates vary, usually in March or April): Commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
  • Hanukkah (Date varies, usually in December): Festival of Lights, though this is less significant religiously than Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur.

Islam

  • Eid al-Fitr (Date varies, depends on the lunar calendar): Marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.
  • Eid al-Adha (Date varies, depends on the lunar calendar): Commemorates Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God.
  • Ramadan (Month of fasting, dates vary): While not a single day, the entire month of Ramadan is significant for Muslims, with fasting during daylight hours.

Hinduism

  • Diwali (Date varies, usually in October or November): The festival of lights, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil.
  • Holi (Date varies, usually in March): The festival of colors, celebrating the arrival of spring and the victory of good over evil.

Buddhism

  • Vesak (Date varies, usually in May): Celebrates the birth, enlightenment, and death of the Buddha.

Sikhism

  • Vaisakhi (April 13 or 14): Commemorates the formation of the Khalsa (community of Sikhs) and the start of the Punjabi New Year.
  • Guru Nanak Gurpurab (Date varies, usually in November): Celebrates the birth of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism.

Does it matter where the event is?

Yes, context matters. In places like the United States, where there are more Christians than adherents of other religions, Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter are more likely to be widely observed or acknowledged by businesses. However, even if a religion has fewer adherents in a region, showing respect for other religions' major holidays—like Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur for Jews—is essential for inclusivity, especially in diverse workplaces or in situations where people of different faiths may be involved.

In the corporate world, being sensitive to major holidays across different religions is a sign of respect and can promote inclusivity. Ideally, event organizers should consider consulting with employees or clients from diverse religious backgrounds when planning key events to ensure that no one is put in a difficult position. This consideration helps avoid scheduling conflicts on days that are significant for their faith.
