OfCourseNot

Don't be fooled, taxes are just a way to extract the fruit of the poor folks' labor and give it to the rich and powerful. Always have been, since their inception. Not just in America, here in the (highly idealized by lemmy) EU I cost my company 3200€ a month, 1850€ go to my bank account and 1350€ to the government, plus up to a 21% vat from the things I purchase. Amazon pays literally 0€ in taxes.

I always thought that about Jessica Fletcher. Too many people dying around that woman.

In the privacy of your home? Like a civilized person.

Light emitted farther than 46 billion light years away will never reach you. While traveling an infinite distance the universe expands faster, and light emitted not that far will get so red-shifted that it won't be visible anymore.

As I said I never put it in my cv, because I know what it implies. In my country we have a similar thing with English proficiency, everyone would put 'mid level English' which actually means 'barely able to order at a restaurant while pointing to things with your finger'.

I mean I've never put it in my resume and I work better in a healthy environment, but under stressful and chaotic circumstances I perform much much better than most.

My secret: I'm always super anxious, you can throw all the chaos you want my way and it'll barely move the stress-o-meter needle a bit.

You literally said 'that doesn't encrypt your storage'. I've read some other comments of yours about it being decrypted after entering a pin or passwords in memory...that's not how it works (again at least in iOS), it's managed by hardware. Basically a chip enters your password for you. So no, an attacker can't access your storage, it's still encrypted, or your password that easily.

iOS encrypts the storage by default. Don't know about android but I'm sure if not by default it can be enabled.

The only realistic option is to try and change the stance of one of the two that can win the election

How would you propose to do that while also offering said party an unconditional vote? I'm not American, but if you have an answer it would be useful here too. Parliamentary systems end up pretty much the same.

Tread cautiously here if you're going to strike. I'm not a lawyer so take this just as a heads up, but Spanish law is tricky in this regard so get informed before risking your job. As per the Ministry of Work and Social Economy it is illegal to strike for 'political reasons, solidarity or support' ('Son ilegales las huelgas por motivos políticos, las de solidaridad o apoyo...'), on top of this you can be not permitted to strike for many other reasons. Pretty fascist I know but what we want is fewer people starving and homeless not more.

Edit: Looked it up, this one's legal (at the time of this comment).

Doesn't those results mean that we all are world class astrologers? Just roll the dice and you're as good as the best.

Doesn't 'piss off' can mean 'leave' in American English too? I use them pretty much interchangeably, maybe 'fuck off' expresses a stronger intention.
