Made no sense to me neither till I read the article..

The company gives people a card signed by other employees whenever they resign or whatever. Only 3 people signed it so they didn't give it to her. She then sues.

But it would be an easy war of attrition no? How many died/almost died because Texas couldn't handle a lil iced? How long could those states last without resources from outside? How much of their materials are usable raw?

Do the "much guns" states actually have a decent bit of knowledgeable people? Being able to shoot a gun is fine and all but a war is far more than that.

The biggest worry would probably be the ones already in the military who could/would easily sabotage any efforts. And yes, drones are easily beating rifles when it comes to depleting each other's resources.

I know fuck-all about guns and war but my armchair is warmed up.

How do you stay accountable when you don’t set limits in your own term?

You don't. Even if they're in office, there's nothing you can do. What do you think they'd do to Biden? Jail him? Fine him? You vote in people who align with what you want put in place, then have the separate parts of government check each other.

I don’t mind long-term goals, we need them, but there should be milestones

I addressed that in my previous comment. Nobody's wasting time and resources. Such a limitation would cripple every president and make them damn near useless. They'd spend most of their time in office recalculating milestones, which would be incredibly small, at best, and impossible at worst.

frankly I’m surprised it’s apparently an unpopular opinion.

Because it kinda indicates that you haven't really thought about this or you're just not aware of how things happen in life. You're coming off as management that's never worked on the floor and have no idea about what's actually feasible. It's a good way to have everybody despise you.

Using this as an example, let's say it was done at the start of Biden's 1st year, what percentage should he set per what time period, and do you really expect car manufacturers to recreate their vehicles each period?

Manufacturers need time to meet targets. And the final percentage would be incredibly small, because it would be only four years. Whenever you see a product hit the market, development has starts years prior.

What targets exactly? Should every policy be limited to just their term? That completely removes the possibility of any target that takes a long time to reach. It would be a waste of time and resources to do smaller increments and then revisit them.

Almost every policy put into place will have effects that future presidents have to deal with. Do you actually care about this in principle or do you just not like this policy?

Finally, a sane response. Of course they'll "sound similar" because they're both female voices attempting to come off as friendly with an American accent.

I'm more on the side of opposing AI implementations but people are really reaching with this one. I'm assuming it was pulled just so they can get their legal defense in order.

This will be another case like any other, where they take it to court, and there is no real basis for anything

Because then they'll give up whoever it was that they used to voice the AI and it'll be mostly over. The thing is though that if they rush into a lawsuit too eagerly, nobody's going to want to work with them under a similar contract.

What are the job titles of the people on these teams? I would suppose physics and CS. How are those job sectors looking in terms of vacancies? I'd think that there are more workers than jobs and that this is a ploy to get less experienced people for cheaper but they're trying to rehire the same employees.

So they essentially broke even? What sense does that make?

[–] Dexx1s@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I'd be thinking more about how they'd plan to do it. Trump does have the Secret Service.

But good luck impeaching a man who can make his enemies disappear with a waive of his hand.

Friend, that's why you just sign something in your office with the doors closed and not make it public.

Honestly, I didn't even think enough about the whole thing enough to realize that the President could possibly get away with murder. Wouldn't that make it an obvious ruling then? Could then appoint new judges to the Supreme Court. There would magically be a few openings all of a sudden after all. How is this ruling really something they're actually considering?

It’s the second ruling in favor of trans rights this month from the 4th Circuit, a once-conservative court that has become a trailblazer in the realm of transgender rights.

Not bad. Definitely not something I expected to read.

The decision will be appealed to the Supreme Court, which recently allowed Idaho to enforce a ban on gender-affirming care for minors.

Of course. This Supreme Court's really gonna do a number on the justice system for decades to come huh?

You really should look up how much Meta makes per quarter. They're doing the equivalent of setting aside a budget for hobbies.

Most definitely. They were complaining about them not making a profit, and they really thought blaming the few people using an Adblock made sense.

It's all to get more Premium subscriptions. The ads are an intentional problem with the "obvious solution" being advertised right there on the homepage.

Sure, it's possible, but no one on lemmy is actually doing that

I literally did.

Democrats did a good thing. Stop there.

Nah. You can't give me a good reason to do so because there isn't.
