They aren't rights when they can be taken away. We have temporary privileges.

If there was a proper way for people to express the problem then that would be great. But, as it stands with F2P games, and ones as complicated as Overwatchs history, well, fucking Steam slaughter is AN option for most. Fuck the game and company, there are no redeeming values. Even if these there is a dilution of review efficacy, oh well.

Same fucking thing Putin does. Be confident AND kind -- it's beyond these pricks....

Such a depressing world.

Traitors, both he and his wife.

Contracting isn't always that cut and dry. Different industries and sectors of employment can use it for indefinite employment, and as such, many people can end up relying and hoping for longest possible work. I.e., USA Federal Contracting. Creating a union to protect workers and fight for financial fairness isn't something that Contractors should be excluded from -- it is still work after all. And in the case above-mentioned the actual workers do not negotiate with the contract issuer, but the middleman, a contract company -- human capital.

I love her. This is my people.

Fucking lol. I like this.

Light bulb stealing whores

100% this. It feels like sabotage.

Now give us EverQuest for that proper 1999 experience!

Thank you for sharing this.

Lol, amazing!

100%. Contractors are largely left out of any coverage when these issues arise. The functional dynamic between military, civilian, and contractors is beyond intertwined (in general), but the contractor workforce is left out of discussions and follow-on support constantly. As bizarre as it may sound, I think Federal Contractors should unionize. Most contractors are regular working people (not the millionaire contract company executives). These employees are not the people negotiating with the government, they go through traditional interviews with the company awarded a contract -- and in general, wages and contract value are not transparent whatsoever.

Many contractors can also end up working along side mil/civ for years and sometimes their entire career in the same role, but have their pay and other benefits reset whenever the contract changes companies (5 years is a common contract duration), this has burned soo many people, especially those not adept at advocating/negotiating... but even then, sometimes every aspect of compensation and benefits simply plummets and the incumbents have to take it if they want to continue supporting that mission. Civilians on the other hand enjoy amazing stability. Long rant and everyone's experience will vary, but there is a lot of truth above in general terms.

Sure thing, Dingdong.

Many Samsung devices have a quick button for NFC toggling in their drop down menu, not sure about other phones though.

If only imperialism was relegated to the past. Imagine all this energy going towards building up neighbors and allies... Either way though, Slava Ukraini!!

Wow some of those streets are so bright it looks close to daylight.

I'm not arguing to do nothing, just attempting some clarity on the broader strokes of the issues. Much of our understandings of natural processes are still immature and incomplete - appreciating that fact should be a guiding principle for any near-to-hand actions.

Also consider climate cycles such as ice ages. Imagine a coalition finds a wildy successful heat reduction strategy and it impacts well beyond what was anticipated? How would things go if we accelerrated glaciation down to the gulf of Mexico? The Earth's wobble and axial tilt are part of this process over incredible periods of time.. CFC's and the ozone are a good example of rapid and unanticipated results of human inputs. No easy answer even with stakes as high as they appear.

10 years. Quit the moment Bacon Reader lost API comms, did a data request and nuked my account. I've made a few accounts on Lemmy and Mastodon, set up an RSS feed - its a big change, but wonderful. Still want to sort out the Kbin piece, is it just an instance with only browser front-end?

She makes my skin crawl - fucking horrific person.

Check out this YouTube channel for some insight into the Russian populations opinions on their politics... spoiler: it's mostly depressing.

Godspeed. Slava Ukraini!

$250-$300k is the new $100k from the 90's imo. It's rough out here.

I run a PopSocket on my S22Ultra (no case) and keep a couple of these around:

PopSockets Flexible Phone Mount - Black https://a.co/d/0aYtsed

When bent correctly for different orientations it's absolutely fantastic, and can make interacting with the S-Pen highly ergonomic. Adapt and overcome!

Never say never.

What are the two terms please?

Thank you.

Do we have a c/thalassaphobia (sp?)?

I enjoyed reading this, hopefully you share more stories on Lemmy in the future.

Toats not I! Genuine af.

Pure projection.

It has disc brakes lol! So badass!

That's my experience as well, the bell has never functioned as I thought it would. But it may be user error on my end, I've never been able to get a notification for Instagram Live either.
