Future generations will never experience making this stuff with too little water to create a mixer that hides the taste of cheap booze.

Is creepy people entering women’s bathrooms such a common problem that we need the government to enforce bathroom use? No. This is merely moral panic being used to push conservative ideology, not an effort to address a real problem.

The party of “small government” and “freedom” telling you where you can and cannot pee.

If you saw a federal agent commit a crime, no you didn’t.

It’s basically Word lite: very similar interface, with a stripped-down feature set that covers most basic needs. You should have no problem diving right in and writing CVs and cover letters.

I’m trying to verify this myself and coming up empty-handed. The screenshot says the photo was posted in r/fivethirtyeight 5 days ago, but I don’t see it there. I tried multiple reverse image search tools and haven’t found this exact picture posted anywhere prior to today. This feels like bullshit agitprop.

There are plenty of factual reasons to hate ICE. Let’s not fall for stuff like this.

If you have a Google account, Google Sheets Docs is free and probably does everything you need.

MS Office is also really easy to pirate.

How long until Fanone is labeled a “traitor” and disappeared by ICE?

If we learned anything from 2025 it’s that checks and balances only work when a critical mass of people agree to them. One of the US’s major political parties has abandoned rule of law and sent ICE on a modern day witch hunt against immigrants and perceived enemies. If you don’t like it, time to move. An anarchist would say this situation is a great example of why we shouldn’t outsource governance to entities that have power over us.

As I understand it, anarchism is less about eliminating laws and more about eliminating hierarchy. It’s bottom-up governance that requires lots of participation from everyone involved. You and your peers can establish laws for your neighborhood/town/etc., but everyone affected by that law needs to directly participate in its writing and there must be broad consensus before it is enacted. Law enforcement must be communal; you cannot outsource it to a police force, lest the police become oppressive.

When I think of anarchism I sometimes think of colonial New England: small towns that are largely autonomous, where communal decisions are made at town hall meetings and the locals manage themselves. It’s not a perfect analogy since there were higher levels of government, but day-to-day governance was very grass-roots.

Though I’m having trouble loading the site. Hopefully it’s being heavily used by legit users, and not being DDoS’d to prevent access.

Meaningless legislative theater. It’ll never pass the House. If it did Trump wouldn’t sign it. And even if those things magically happened, the scope is too narrow. Congress needs to take back its constitutional war powers that it’s ceded to the executive branch long ago.

I was referring to the fact that hypothetically one lemmy.world admin could essentially make people disappear.

Which is what ICE is for.

Are you seriously comparing being banned from a small social media site, where you could simply create another account in 5 minutes, to being arrested and imprisoned by a government agency?

All of it.

Would you rather give up oral sex or cheese?

That does suck. However…

Open IPTV streams are cool.

In the broader world of politics, “liberal” usually refers to “classical liberalism”: representative democracy, a capitalist market economy with limited government involvement, and an emphasis on individual liberty over communal well-being. This is the ideology the US was founded upon (for white people, at least) and that it still largely embraces. Both major US political parties are liberal parties.

Within the US, the use of the term is very different. Republicans use “liberal” as a pejorative to describe anyone even slightly to their left. You could be a progressive, a social democrat, a communist, an anarchist, or simply a pragmatic individual who wants to fund libraries and public schools, and you would be branded a “lib.”

The infidelity will continue until morale improves.

Sitting at a desk all day, starting at screens, can become so banal. Variety is the spice of life, no? If you aren’t using black-market RPGs to blast vaguely identified boats from the open side of a Vietnam-era helicopter then are you even living?
