    A grift in broad daylight.

    • is the New King James version of the Old and New Testament
    • has no commentary

    The tail end of the article:

    People alleging workplace bias have to show “background circumstances,” including that LGBTQ people made the decisions affecting Ames or statistical evidence showing a pattern of discrimination against members of the majority group.

    The appeals court noted that Ames didn’t provide any such circumstances.

    I'm horrible about checking what the boss blind is until it's too late. I got the game on steam a week before it came out on mobile and still building habits.

    This is the same basis that certain conservative Lemmy communities run on. "Since nobody is saying good things about us, we need a place to circlejerk so hard that people might respect us" but instead they put all their fish in one barrel for us.

    JD Vance puts out $5 in quarters when he visits a restaurant and each time he thinks the waitress fucks up, he removes $0.50. The remaining money is his tip at the end of the meal.

    I just have one simple wish: after taking a temp, give me a 1 tap way to take the temp again. Currently you have to tap a reset button and then tap again to take a measurement. These kinds of inefficiencies drive me up the wall.

    Watching our senators and congresspersons in how they respond to Ukraine and simultaneously how they respond to Israel is absolutely sickening. We're not Russia but it seems like our representatives want us to be just as authoritarian, just as ruthless, just as disconnected from reality. I know it's not the whole of the house, but the bad apples are the loudest.

    And...

    The Iranian motivation to kill Trump is believed to stem from a desire for revenge over his decision when he was president to order the US strike that killed Maj Gen Qassim Soleimani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds force in January 2020.

    I paid for Google Music back before it was YouTube Music. It came with YouTube Red (I think they still called it that at the time). I'm still paying for premium because no ads is important to me. Also, according to now ancient videos by Hank Green, YouTube Red made a considerable, good impact for the content creators and I don't care that other video platforms are cheaper because I'm not watching random videos, I'm following particular channels. I can almost never get the same content somewhere else. I'm locked in because of that. If my channels put their content on other sites, I'd drop YouTube in a heartbeat. If every video went on patreon and not just the exclusive videos, I'd drop YouTube in a heartbeat. I believe in the patreon model and am not a member of a single YouTube channel.

    I wish YouTube understood that they are not the content I watch, they are between me and the content I watch. Maybe then the relationship could be more respectful than ads on the pause screen.

    Trump and other company insiders were bound by lockup agreements that barred them from selling their shares in the initial months after Trump Media went public.

    Those restrictions expired at the closing bell Thursday.

    I bet he won't sell on Friday, which will lead to people having faith that Trump will stand by his word for once, the stock will go up a little, Monday he sells it all.
