If you keep away from certain instances and communities, it’s not too hard to avoid them.

Blocking users helps too. Lemmy is still small enough to curate your experience significantly by blocking users you don’t want to see.

You also should consider that tankies isn’t what this group calls themselves.

OP said jack shit about the US.

Wow, what a surprise. This is my surprised face. The character they’ve been assassinating for use as fap bait for ages gets an honest to god fetish comic.

I had thought that the general consensus online from the moment of the announcement was that this was pretty clearly fetish material, but I guess a site named “Batman News” has to maintain an absolutely absurd level of “benefit of the doubt” lest they drive away their readers.

Why can a shape tool not be pixel based? There’s no intrinsic requirement for vectors.

Technically yes, but bypasses are easily and widely available for all non-cloud stuff. MS licenses are a joke for anyone already unconcerned about following the rules. MASgrave is your friend in that regard.

Also, Microsoft fucked over the IRS to degree that they still haven’t recovered from when the IRS tried to get them to stop using tax loopholes more than a decade ago. They aren’t going to let the US government bully them. You have to remember that MS has the US government IT infrastructure by the balls, for better or worse.

Buddy, they already skipped those ones. I can dream though. Those were jank but had charm.

No, because you can literally look this shit up, or talk to most hiring managers or business owners.

Surely if that was how it worked then someone would have posted the documents, or emails, or any sort of paper trail. Come on, we’re all waiting.

Thanks! You want some glue? I brought extra!

For warehouse positions, at least a decade ago, “hiring events” consisted of showing up with a valid driver’s license. I think they did a background check. No interview. Boom, you’ve got a job.

They effectively have an infinite labor supply and have everything structured to be incredibly resistant to what little room there is for error.

Careful citizen, it seems you’ve had a little too much to think.

More seriously, I wish you all the luck in the world with convincing people that their personal two minutes hate isn’t a good thing.

Doesn’t help that there’s a lot of people down so low that idealogical elitism and self righteousness is nearly all they have going for them. It’s a legitimate issue that there are a bunch of people who are so depressed about the state of the world that they end up defining themselves by the fact that they aren’t part of the “bad group”, so any humanization of that group robs them of something vital to them.
