Someone called me "Grateful Dead Grampa" the other day, and that pretty much sums it up.
Frederick Douglass, arguing for unity among black and white laborers in 1883, said that “experience teaches us that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other.”
NSFL doesn't exist as a tag. Your only choice is to tag it NSFW.
Nah, man. If your views involve forcing the birth of a baby with spina-bifida or my wife carrying a dead fetus for three months or more, you can get fucked.
What's that? Oh shit, can they hear us? Turn it off, TURN IT OFF!
If you don't think that economic slavery is real and exists in modern society, there's no point in further conversation.

I'm not looking at your account because there is no way you can live up to what just happened in my brain.
He did. It was a plea bargain that included dropping the charges of improper gun ownership.
All your online interactions are with bots.

Ginger Beer with lime is fantastic.
Digg.com is still around as well.
County jails usually have a lot of pretrial detainees.
I'm a felon, and I can vote.
Not a bullshit felony, either. I pled to 3 armed robbery charges, got 14 years with a mandatory 7 in North Carolina.
My sentence made me ineligible for parole, and when I was released they presented me with a document called "Restoration of Citizenship" which restored all rights (except firearm ownership I think. Not gonna test that one.)
No ads on Mastodon. They'll write about it when they figure out how to monetize it.
Firefighter is the best of these.
A piece of creative writing presented at the WEF and baldly stating the goal of agenda 2030.
Oh, man. How'd I miss that?
It must be awful to base your personality on outrage.
I hope it gets better for you.
Edit: , then*
I love that someone explained unironically.
I live in a solid red state. I'll vote third party.
I've been out more than 25 years, with no recidivism.
Not all states restore your rights automatically, but the wording on the document is quite clear about restoring voting rights.
Restoration of Citizenship is a vital document, just like a birth certificate.
Edit to add a bit of the relevant law:
All rights are automatically restored upon “unconditional discharge” of sentence or unconditional pardon. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 13-1. This language has been interpreted to include payment of all court debt, a barrier to voting ruled unconstitutional under the State constitution in September, 2020, that is the subject of ongoing litigation.1 The agency releasing the prisoner (or probationer) must file a certificate evidencing unconditional discharge and restoration of the rights of citizenship with the court in the county of conviction (North Carolina state offenses) or the county of residence (for offenses under federal law or the law of another state). § 13-2.
The paperwork I have mentions "...all rights including the right to vote..." I have gotten conflicting advice on whether that includes firearms, but I'm not pushing it. I can hunt with a bow.
Host on your own instance until you die unexpectedly from a heart attack at age 42.
Now your !pinball@dumbass.haha community with 2 million subscribers isn't available to anyone. Because you're dead and didn't pay your server bill.
Kinda off topic, but there are a lot of replies on mastodon.social that aren't showing on lemmy.
Why? Isn't federation supposed to consolidate these discussions?

US lawmakers have a tendency to exempt themselves from the laws they pass.
Including the parts you type out and don't post.

Everything old is new again!
Maybe Israel should abide by even one of the treaties they signed.
I would say the evidence available suggests that I would not want Hunter Biden in a position of power in my government. Good thing he's not.
The plea bargain is its own thing, first offenders generally get a pass unless they've done something heinous.
STRAP ONE ON, IT'S TIME TO JAM!
That is some seriously uncomfortable shit to watch.
They're using the authority of the executive branch. Granted by themselves and validated by the judicial branch.
We could seek balance through the legislative branch.

I'm playing No Man's Sky for the first time. I consider myself fortunate to have missed the launch debacle.
He could have pushed to have it codified.
He could have also pushed student loan forgiveness for all borrowers instead of the bullshit means testing that got it shut down.
It's more plausible that some random someone on a tour left their cocaine in a place they weren't returning to rather than someone with regular access left their stash for later.
Ok, I guess.
Profitable companies should be required to dispense a minimum percentage of profits as wages.
Sh.itjust.works uses matrix like any normal lemmy instance would.
