Being honest isn't discouraging, it's not being infantilizing.

Obama won pretty hard though despite the racism, there were more people excited to see a black president than there were racists (although obviously there as a lot of vocal racism as well).

If Kamala tells a convincing story, I could see it working well.

That does not meet my experiences of reality in the US at least, very few businesses open to walk-in customers would be closed at 5pm, and parking lots usually serve for multiple businesss or just a spot to park and then go downtown.

There are many full grown adults who aren't self aware.

I kind of figured but it was really funny given the context 😂😂

Yes exactly, Bernie has similar politics but doesn't get the same hatred. There were some Bernie voters who even hopped to Trump. They care more about sexism/racism than actual politics.

The youngest millenial is not 40 ... there are millennials in their late 20s. That would be maybe youngest gen X? Did you forget about Gen X?

They are a younger millenial, and talking about how not playing online games is a signifier of that. Not sure how you get this so wrong you think you can correct me about what it straight up says.

I don't think employees on the edge of brokeness are getting stock options, that's more a thing to get with a 100k paycheck vs a 150k paycheck.

Okay I get this. The dude with stock could sell the stock, which would be a useful protest, or financially support the worker's rights movement.

One thing to note if you get one, you will get comments on your phone 😅

 

I am trying to make a decision. curious about your thoughts on my personal situation, and what you think in general. or your own stories if you have anything relevant...

 

I bought a cheap suit with the intention of making it look good through tailoring, but I don't know how to actually get that done. The local stores don't have websites and haven't picked up when I called, should I just walk in with the suit? Do I need an appointment? Also, how much should I expect to pay? (California)

I live a fair drive from the local alternation/tailor shops (rural life), so I figured I'd try to ask before making the drive out just to make a fool of myself.

 

Trying to wrap my head around the fediverse. Is each instance like another person with a server? Could that person just shut it down whenever they wanted to?

Are there any companies that have invested in hosting Lemmy/ other fediverse servers?

Sorry I'm sure I messed up some of the terminology, I hope my questions make sense! I love the idea of the fediverse as I understand it, but I like to dig into these details.
