I looked it up in the meantime, apparently it's standard Republican Senate fuckery if someone else is reading this.

The Postmaster General gets elected by the nine-member Board of Governors, that the President selects and the Senate confirms the members of. Obama nominated at least five people, the Senate confirmed none of them, and since terms were for seven years, the Board lost quorum, and delegated its powers to a Temporary Emergency Committee.

After Trump got elected, he nominated and the Senate confirmed eight people over his term. This gave the board a 5 member Republican majority, the legal maximum, but the Dem minority was also somewhat made up of Trump appointees.

Biden so far could appoint two people with Senate confirmation. Replacing DeJoy needs five.

It's a historic railroad bridge that has not been used for a while, steel construction, and it has been taken apart and put together many times before, sometimes for maintenance. IIRC the current mayor promised the people not to do it again, and then came Bezos, and then they didn't take it apart, they installed the yacht's masts downstream instead.

This is the bridge in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Hef

The Trump/Biden Post Office under DeJoy

That's the claim being made.

Could Biden have ousted DeJoy by now? Honest question, I really don't know the specifics.

Visegrád don't mean shit these days, the journalist is Polish, and worked with Radio Free Europe.

If anything, she's Western-biased.

The point being made is that you won't solve the issue if you divide society between men and women, instead of normal people and sexist bigots. The point is not to replace existing harmful sexist stereotypes with your own sexist stereotypes, but to come together and listen to each other.

If you at all accept that there are harmful but culturally ingrained gender roles

The problem is that all too often those harmful gender roles are only called out as being harmful to women, not to men, but they are. The solution to the gender roles issue is not digging trenches between genders.

It's not straight people, it's not men or women, or minorities or even white people, it's shitty people being amplified by their favourite billionaire to divide us and have us dig trenches between each other while they rob society blind.

Cali is a hit or miss, the Cali privacy reg has been so watered down compared to the GDPR it feels like the ad industry got it in to prevent future harsher regulations.

Mine is the one where the soldier returns from WWI completely desensitized to murder and fucked in the head.

He starts stabbing little girls, just like in the war. "Poor people" by Móricz if anyone is interested.

How can this GaaS thing be sooo profitable and also such bad press that even mentioning it results in a "sorry we didn't mean that" article?

They don't give out taste or dignity along with every vagina.
