  • Why are Republicans/Conservatives embracing fanaticalism these days?

    Jump

  • They figured out that egalitarian secular Democracy wasn't meeting their racist ends, and couldn't ever be forced to through the power of argument, so instead of changing what they want, they're out to destroy the entire construct

  • I’ve been locked out of PayPal for years because of their mistake

    Jump

  • you're going to be giving paypal access to your bank account/debit card if you want to get paid, or send money, giving them a bank statement, like many other financial vendors ask for before setting up and account or a loan, isn't unusual. you've decided it's your line in the sand, but it's no big deal, like, at all at all.

  • What's the reason for the empty comments, lately?

  • curiously, i can see images in both the lemmy.world and lemm.ee post links you included in your comment (as well as the image from the og mastodon post). the originals must have been posted from kbin or mbin instances since i'm using fedia.io which is an mbin instance

  • Internet Archive forced to remove 500,000 books after publishers’ court win

    Jump

  • Before the internet you would have to go to a library to read a book you didn't want to purchase. Libraries are still a thing. You can still go there to borrow a book, read it, and return it, so that others can read it.

    The only difference here is the magnitude of access, where publishers weren't very concerned with at the local library level for token public good, but are very much now alarmed with, in that the internet can distribute content to everyone all the time, content they were very much hoping to continue to monetize.

    It's information gatekeeping, but no one is going to tell the publishing industry they might as well fold up shop and stop publishing because they can't make any money at it any longer.

  • Barcelona will eliminate ALL tourist apartments in 2028 following local backlash: 10,000-plus licences will expire in huge blow for platforms like Airbnb - Olive Press News Spain

    Jump

  • when push comes to shove, local government will either do the right thing (like this), or put their cities on a ticking clock to disaster and implosion. people need places to live. workers need to live where the work is. if only tourists are able to afford to stay in cities, those places will die.

  • Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day?

    Jump

  • well, no, the reason is commercial, chicken is one of the cheapest and easiest proteins to raise in the smallest amount of space, which works out better for those of lesser means. everybody loves fried chicken, sure, but it's not the reason it's always been a stereotypical hallmark of the American Black population

    Jump

  • seeing as how ethnicity and geographic origin of the american slaves were purposefully destroyed and lost, to cut them off from their history by design, their created culture will need to suffice

  • they said because of the tradition of corned beef and cabbage on st patricks day, it's a fair question

  • How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?

    Jump

  • There's a lot of "play" in tasks accomplished when working in an office, not so much when companies have spy software gauging every minute one spend on their corporate owned pc's remotely, some find even less freedom when under that type of 9 hr scrutiny day in day out
