Hi there!
Nobody cares. You’re homeless? Nobody cares. You just got dumped? Nobody cares. You’re sick? Nobody cares. You’re struggling? Nobody cares.
Sure you might have some friends who care in a very superficial way, but when the going gets tough, everybody leaves.
There’s just no hope, and you’re on your own.
To answer your question:

The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the president to use active-duty military personnel to perform law-enforcement duties inside the US.
Once invoked, troops could be tasked with a range of duties, from quelling civil unrest and enforcing court orders to arresting and detaining migrants.
Because the Insurrection Act was written in broad terms, with little specific guidance on how and when the powers can be used, it gives presidents wide latitude in deciding when to mobilise military personnel for domestic operations.
Time to bring in the army to oppress the citizenry. Hoo rah!
Indicators?
Yes, only pillocks don’t use their indicators. They’re an essential method of communication between vehicles and for pedestrians, and an essential safety feature.
I cannot stress this enough, people who don’t use their indicators are massive twats and shouldn’t be on the road.
They’re a danger to themselves and everybody around them.
Nothing, I’m not buying anything special from that country they can fuck off.
Slowly but surely we will move all our ongoing needs away from the USA and back within the EU fully, so that they can burn in their own little corner of the dark ages as they desire, while we continue to live in present day.
Given he’s destroying his own country while the rest of us laugh at him, I expect the civil war will kick off eventually.
That’s his plan though, much easier to reshape a democracy into an Empire during huge societal upheaval like that.
Just gotta keep giving himself more Emergency Powers until he can get it done.
When they’re struggling to eat two meals a day and threatened with homelessness, they’ll work and job they’re given, no matter how awful.
You think the parents of yesteryear wanted to send their kids off to the workhouses, when they knew an education would be better for them, and safer than the workshops?
They didn’t have a choice, because that’s how their society was structured.
The USA is regressing in many small ways that taken together gave a big impact, it’s not crazy to think that they’re reaching a point where many families will be forced to have their kids work to make ends meet.
The kids aren’t privileged, they don’t have a choice, that’s the point. If they choose not to work because they’re moody teens, then they’ll starve. That won’t happen.
Wait until that 20/20 hindsight
It’s about time! I’ve wanted to buy a European for years but never knew where to look
I wonder if it’s English, or American English 😅
(Thank you for the tip by the way I had no idea!)
Yes you’re right, the government should absolutely make child rape jokes, if people get angry about it you should just ignore them. Of course. That’s just wise government policy, it shows how highly respectable those in the government are.
How do you accidentally sack someone?
You have to specifically choose a person, presumably with an actual reason for sacking them, then reach out to them specifically to inform them of their sacking.
In my country you also require a valid reason for doing so, you can’t just randomly sack someone, I imagine in this case it would be being made redundant.
So, you decide your staff are no longer required and if their contract allows you to let them go (or you just pay the big severance or whatever), okay cool.
Then you… change your mind? What?
That’d be a deeply incompetent employer. Like, buffoon levels. I wouldn’t go back to working for someone like that. If nothing else, they’ve shown how little they care about their staff. Not worth it.
If the Republican Party can purge the United Kingdom they deserve the win that’s impressive range.
Boost, it was the perfect Reddit client for me and now it’s the perfect Lemmy client, I didn’t have to sacrifice any aspect of the experience.
God I love you, Boost my beloved 😍
I’m on Android. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I give Steve Jobs a penny.
Peertube, a voyeurism site for vids of people peering in through window curtains? :P
Ah, the USA. I wish that didn’t make sense :-(
When they try to get into the back of the car in front of us.
Drivers seem to forget that they always must maintain minimum emergency breaking distance from the car in front, which changes with weather conditions, speed limit, and the reaction times of the driver themselves.
Any exercise is better than none :-)
We all have varied, busy lives that never fit the neat structured exercise plans we read about, or make for ourselves. Sometimes we only find 15 minutes free in a day for some quick exercise. And if that’s the only time we have available that day, then that’s enough.
Ideally you’ll find time for more structured exercise at least once a week, but don’t beat yourself up if you struggle with your schedule, you’re only human, just do what you can, that already puts you ahead of most people <3
Because how else am I going to get those deep creases out of my blouses!
It’s good to have a positive outlook, but it’s also important to be realistic, and know when to move your energies elsewhere, I think.
I could set my mind to becoming a good orchestral composer, but all I’d be doing is wasting years of my life and a lot of money and effort, because I know I’m not at all creative in that way. My creative strengths lie elsewhere.
I could stick with it, and become at best a very derivative boring composer, but I wouldn’t reach my dream or being a good one.
And I’d miss out on other dreams I could have been following that were more realistic and would bring me more happiness in the end, you know?
But yeah, you also have to weigh that against pushing yourself past your limits, because maybe you’ll be great at something you wouldn’t have expected!
I think in the end as with most things in life, it’s about finding a balance between idealism and realism that works best for you :-)
