Israel builds their own weapons and have for many years. The US and many others but them though and that supports them.

That’s what I was thinking… Here come the bots

I’m sure government agencies buy commercially available products all the time. The problem is that we are no longer just consumers in the market, we are also unwillingly the product.

I’ll see the same post on 2 or 3 subs and it will just be something I saw a year or more ago.

I guess there is good and bad with either style. I generally prefer the self checkout because I can bag my own stuff

True. I remember thinking it was a load of crap, but it certainly got the message across that I’d be alone and out of a job if I tried to form a union.

And I also remember lessons in class where the textbook weren’t l went into great detail about the corruption and mob ties of some unions, but very little about anything positive. There has definitely been an effort on the part of powerful folks to denigrate unions.

I remember reading The Jungle in college and getting a much different perspective of labor laws and union value

Depending on where you lived you were plied with anti-union rhetoric. I remember back in the '80s and working at a department store and they had us watch “training” videos about how we were a big family and how unions broke up that family and made us adversaries. I thought it was a bunch of bull, but I’m sure there were plenty of folks that bought into it.

When has there not been a genocide going on there?

They act like there are actually fair elections in Russia. Stupid headline only tries to bring some sort of normalcy to an insane dictator

Developers won’t do it though. Otherwise, we’d already have this happening. What they do now is call it a loss and get a break on their taxes.

I’ve been looking to replace my car this year. The used cars I’m looking at (2-3 years old) are almost as expensive as the new cars. Maybe I will save $5000-7000 on it. So why buy a used car with dubious history?

Maybe I’ll stop getting those “He Gets Us” ads if I cruise the atheist subreddits.

Lately it is getting more like we are not just the consumers, we are the product. It is very uncomfortable.

I hate to say it, but 90% of the articles on Gizmodo could be written by AI and we’d not know it.

Everyday. You can put the baking soda on dry or mix it into a paste. Make sure you massage it into your scalp (not too hard). Then you rinse that out and put on a rinse of vinegar water. I comb my hair out at this point and then rinse out the vinegar then apply a little vitamin E oil after I towel dry it.

I stopped using shampoo years ago because I’m allergic to a lot of the stuff that goes in them. I use baking soda and apple cider vinegar (you rinse in between so you don’t make a volcano). My hair has always been brittle and frizzy, but now the texture is really nice.

And for the record, no my hair doesn’t stink. You can use vitamin E oil after with essential oils if you really want your hair to smell pretty.

Pretty much what I’m thinking. Wagner Group is essentially Nazis.

I didn’t go and check things out. But I gotta say, before I was an only Reddit user. Now I don’t expect to totally forgo Reddit forever, but I now know there are alternatives and it is a nicer community so far here.

At least here I’m not getting spammed with bots and “Satan Gets Us” ads.
