This is stupid. That said, calling for the FCC to regulate Fox isn’t going to happen. They don’t have jurisdiction over cable channels. Find another way to get fox to fire their aspiring mass murderer.

And in a way that makes people believe that they’re doing good and that we can trust the billionaires to have society’s best interests at heart. They’re laundering their image while continuing to enrich themselves.

I didn’t realize this was happening. Where can I find out more about this?

It typically is pasteurized if it comes from a woman other than the baby’s own mother. If it is donated milk, for example.

So, essentially, one Mexican senator spouted off on Fox News about welcoming US military intervention. This isn’t a widely held position and is just the position of one extremist senator. Is that right?

No, it says that hard work “leads to success” not that “hard work is success”. Typically, when applied to people, success doesn’t mean working hard. It means attaining something the person wants. In the case of a donkey, their personal definition of success is likely different than for a person. That is what I meant by my comment.

If I’m a donkey, I define it as having good apples, tasty carrots, lots of oats, and companionship from other animals and humans.

I’m also amazed that this comment, of all of my comments, is one of my most downvoted on lemmy. I thought it was pretty tame and just pointed out the silliness of the meme.

This depends on how you define success.

Edit: Huh, I thought this was a pretty tame comment. I just mean that donkeys likely have a different idea of “success” than people do. I’m not quite sure why this is being taken so negatively. I just thought the meme was kind of silly and dumb.

As I keep telling people, they’re not upset about it because their media aren’t telling them about things like this, at least not in the same terms.

A lot of the other light patches in this image are city lights.

Complaining that something good isn’t good enough is certainly helpful. Maybe go find somewhere more appropriate to complain about all of the shitty stuff. Let people enjoy the small wins. There are few enough of them right now that spoiling them with doomerism just makes things worse for everyone.

So you’re going to complain that the people who are actually doing something useful aren’t doing enough rather than doing something useful yourself. Seems a little hypocritical.

I was sure you were wrong ant that $150 was just an incentive to be in the program. That battery owners would be paid for their power.

You were right, though. It really is a flat $150 per year. The company who manages the energy from the batteries gets paid for the energy, not the battery owner.

Why do we always need to complain that something good isn’t good enough? Yes, they didn’t solve the world’s problems. They did make a nice step in the right direction.

If a opiate addict went clean for 72 hours for a drug test they would be in very bad shape by the time they get tested again. It would be completely obvious that they are in withdrawal. They would be very anxious, shivering, vomiting, and shitting.

Retesting after 72 hours is a pretty good indicator that someone isn’t using so long as you also observe physical symptoms.

The law there allows the redistricting to happen if there is a majority vote for redistricting. The law also requires at least 2/3 of members to be present to actually hold a vote. So, this is a tactic that can be used by the minority party to avoid a vote happening at all.

Its a weird law. The democrats have only taken advantage of it a few times and, so far, only for votes relating to redistricting or vote suppression. They did this twice in 2003, once in 2021, and again now. All to stop redistricting or voter suppression votes.

Also in 2003. In fact, that time was due to the GOP doing the same redistricting shit they’re doing now!

I get why they’d use something like this to save money and time but, is suspect that correct use would include a human check before charging people.

We need to start pushing for laws on this kind of thing. Automated checks are fine if you, as the company, trust they won’t have too many false negatives. If you aren’t checking for false positives, though, you should be heavily fined for each false report. $25,000 per false report sounds like a good place to start. Hopefully that would be large enough to not just be the cost of doing business.

This is what we need! Less science, more militarized law enforcement!
