Texas teen suffering miscarriage dies days after baby shower due to abortion ban as mom begs doctors to ‘do something’ in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] john89@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

There needs to be a cultural change.

Unfortunately, one person or even the minority cannot do this.

Until more people actually want to solve these problems, these problems won't get solved. Wow.

It's not a turnout issue. US "democracy" is fundamentally broken and favors those already in power. It's important for those in power that gridlock issues such as abortion and gun control never get solved yet remain the focal point of elections to distract from the ever-growing disparity in wealth.

The fuck? You don't have to pay people to attend a funeral...

Especially not with taxpayer money...

They don't have to be.

Should the minimum wage be lower for workers who get tipped? Two states are set to decide in c/news@lemmy.world

If they make more with tips, then they don't get to complain when somebody doesn't tip them.

plus the minimum 20% tax tip

Where are you eating that has a 20% minimum tip? I've only seen stuff like that for big groups.

You got a lot of people from the 'pro-tip' crowd glad to say "I make more with tips!" whenever someone suggest replacing tips with fair wages.

If they make more with tips, then they also have to deal with not getting tipped from people like me.

I never tip. Tipping culture should die.

Misleading title, the company must still pay its workers.

Are there any animes or TV shows you can't stop recommending? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] john89@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I recommend watching Undone especially if you liked Bojack Horseman; it's created by the same guy.

You can stream it for free here: https://hydrahd.com/ or check out the c/piracy wiki for one that suits you.

Mushishi is fantastic.

Undone, it's created by the same guy who made Bojack Horseman.

I think most people haven't seen/heard of it because it's an amazon streaming exclusive, but you can watch it (and most other things) for free here: https://hydrahd.com/

How can I add wireless functionality to a simple electric motor? (lemmy.ca)

I have one of those basic motor kits you can buy off of Amazon. I was wondering what steps I should take to make it so that I can turn the motor on/off with the press of a button, wirelessly.

I'm still very new, so any information you can offer no matter how basic will probably be useful to me.

How can I extend the auto-shutoff timer for a generic PS4 controller? (lemmy.ca)
 

The controller I'm using shuts off after about 5 minutes of idle time. I tried adjusting the value in Steam, but it doesn't have any effect.

Does anyone know where this value may be stored or how I can change it to be much longer?

Can we consolidate identical streaming sites under the same group? (lemmy.ca)

The streaming sites listed on https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv#streaming have plenty of duplicates. Essentially, they're the same sites with different names/skins but the exact same content.

It would be beneficial to the community if we could consolidate these down into groups according to which ones are the same.

We can still list all of them, but perhaps do it together so people don't waste their time trying out the same site under a different name.

How come Windows and macOS users don't have to enter their password every time they need administrator privileges? (lemmy.ca)
 

Isn't it enough to just enter your password once to login, then receive a warning whenever you're about to do something potentially dangerous?

If it's such a big security risk, how come the most popular and widely used operating systems in the world and their users seem to be unaffected by it?

I guarantee, most new users coming to Linux from Windows/macOS are going to laugh and look at you funny if you try to justify entering your password again and again and again.

Today I learned an oil company prevented the rescue of contracted divers working on their pipe to save money. (www.youtube.com)
 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinidad_Petroleum_Holdings#Paria_Fuel_Trading_Company_diving_tragedy

Of course, there is no direct admittance of "we knew it would be cheaper to let them die."

Instead, they say "we had no legal obligation to rescue them." That's the answer for the people who were born yesterday.

Big oil truly is a disgusting thing.
