Hmmm 🤔

Not that I think it is a good idea, but she’s SUPPOSED to say that she’s going to slap price controls on as much as possible of whatever food middle-class and blue-collar Americans buy at the supermarket.

jeez louise, how pathetic: She can’t even remember two words.

Price controls!

Or whatever policies she has planned, which are a big fat ZERO as far as we know. Other than welcoming more undocumented Democrats of course, and maybe another trillion dollar anti-inflation bill. The same people who run America now (lord knows who they are, as Biden, Kamala, Mayor Pete, Yellen, Grisholm, and Jake Sullivan don’t seem to be in charge) will have another four years to do more of the same to us.

‘This isn’t a joke’: $1,000,000 offer to hold Pride rally in Gaza or West Bank gets no takers
No surprise: So far, there are no takers on a $1 million offer to hold a gay Pride parade in Gaza or the West Bank.
BizPac Review
Okay, which rainbow group wants to put their ass where their mouth is? They say Gaza is alphabet friendly.

Prove it

There won’t being any takers, not while Hamas and the PLO rule Gaza and the West Bank, respectively.

KAMALA FOR PRESIDENT 2024 Campaign Ad (Parody)
🇺🇸🫏🗳️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️

Sad but entirely true.

Depressing to contemplate but amusing enough to remember that the situation isn’t hopeless. There IS a better alternative to the Cackler! I pray that he continues to stay a step ahead of the assassins, will be #47

So THAT is the official logo of Hezbollah

lololool this is excellent!

Truly, it is such a perfect post! I haven’t been having much success in my job search. Recently, I’ve been thinking that if no one wants to hire me for what I used to do for banks (and other companies with lots of overseas customers), I could do a career transition like it says in the many employment advice columns that my family and friends email or even print out and give to me in person.

Specifically, instead of working in my former role as a Sanctions Solutions Specialist, I could do a job transition and become a Sanctions Evasion Consultant!

…but then I would be in the same situation as someone with that resume, and I don’t want that!

_____________________________________________________

About those links: I found two REALLY bad links and one mediocre one, to illustrate the platitudes of career transition advice. The first, from reddit, is just sad. I felt sad from looking at it. The second is from Harvard Business School, and assumes that your prior career was rather successful; if so, then why do you need to do a career transition?! The last one links to 100+ answers from Quora which I wouldn’t wish on anyone to have to read!

Lucille Ball

She is so elegantly, classically beautiful. Her clothes and shoes and handbag are timeless. She could walk around Manhattan right now dressed like that, and no one would be surprised, other than that she looked so amazing and stylish.

No wonder Desi Arnaz and America loved Lucy so much!

rca transmitting tubes (1956)

Oh wow!

Vacuum tubes made by RCA!

They were in all televisions and radios back then. I have it on good authority that vacuum tubes produced better sound quality than modern solid-state electronics. One problem with them was that they were oh so fragile in their glass housings. Also, they were BIG.

I don’t know if vacuum tubes were still in use when I lived at home with my parents in the 1980s. They were mostly gone by the mid-1970s, I think. I was in the United States. In other countries, it may have been different.

Vacuum tubes are still used now, occasionally. Users are audiophiles or people who work with old electronics equipment for whatever reason. I saw vacuum tubes for sale once, sometime in the 2010s. What a surprise! (Well, it was to me.) They were spread out on tables that had been covered with soft cloth, to prevent scratching. Customers were sorting through them, trying to find the size and whatever other criteria (voltage? amperes?) they needed.

Top 10 Complaints About Reddit in User Reviews
by codeconut

I lol’d at “toxicity concerns”. It is in 6th place. Toxicity (outside of toxicology) is so nebulous.

Harassment issues shouldn’t be a complaint that makes it into the top 10 on reddit, not at this point. I feel sad that it does.

CENSORSHIP

The appearance of censorship, TWICE, is very bad. I understand what “content censorship” pertains to: Submissions that are links or self dot whatever, which are user-written text submissions.

I do NOT understand what “censorship concerns” is, as a complaint type. Let me rephrase that, I don’t understand how it is distinct from content censorship.

Either this survey wasn’t designed well because it confused respondents, i.e. the difference between “content censorship” and “censorship concerns” wasn’t clearly delineated, OR there’s really a lot of repressed speech on reddit.

Hmmm, I suppose censorship concerns could also include allowed reddits, but that too could be considered content censorship. No, I’ll stop with that, as I need to look at the survey methodology, presumably available from the link given by OP.

CENSORSHIP Number One?

If both categories were glommed together, then censorship would be the top user complaint with reddit at 34. That’s an even higher count than “mod complaints” at 33.

Why are there so many censorship-related complaints from redditors?
