politics @lemmy.world•MTG warns Epstein clients she’ll ‘say every damn name’ on House floor as she tells sex abuse victims, ‘Give me a list’
13·2 months agoThat’s the thing about reading the list out loud. You can just skip over the names of the people you want to protect.
Release the files.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•FTC Sues Gym Chains for Making It Hard to Cancel MembershipsEnglish
6·3 months agoI remember during the covid shutdown my gym was closed (NYSC) . I called their main support line or whatever and was like “I need to cancel my membership” and they told me that I needed to go into the gym to cancel. I told them that the gym was closed and I can’t go in. They then told me I needed to get in touch with the manager of that gym somehow.
Called my credit card company. Disputed the charges, and told them to block any further charges from NYSC. That gym shut down before the lock down even ended.
Bought some weights and bands for my apartment. Downloaded a free app for calisthenics routines. Haven’t been to a gym since.
It’s not quite the same as having all of the machines and weights, but it sure as hell is more convinient. If I ever get the pleasure of owning a home, building out a more complete gym in the basement/garage is a goal.
This may be anecdotal, but I ran into this exact same issue a few weeks ago. The suggested 20% was significantly higher than the 20% on the bill. It took me a little bit to figure out, but we were at the restaurant for a steak special and happy hour. The 20% tip was for the non-special price. For example, the steak and two sides special was $18, but the normal price was $28. The drinks were $5 but the normal price was $8. So the suggested tip was 20% of $36, not 20% of $23. These aren’t the exact numbers, and there were two of us, but you get the idea. The POS/Tip suggestion is setup so the servers don’t get the shit end of the stick when the restaurant is doing a deal/special. I’m not sure I fully agree with it, and I have my own beef with tipping culture in general, but I’m just looking to explain what might be seen in OP’s photo.

Europe@feddit.org•Who kills whom in French road accidentsEnglish
10·3 months agoVery curious about the three “question mark vs question mark” fatalities. UFO collision? Skateboard jousting?
This is the part I love. There are MAGA folk who are like “Bill Clinton is in the files too” and I’m like “hell yeah, lock him up”. Shit, lock up every person that visited that island. Drain the swamp, as it was said. If there were democrats that went there, lock them all up. Lock up the movie stars, and whoever else. These are fucking pedophiles.
Adding on “The customer is always right”.
People often forget the next few words which are “in matters of taste”.
In which case, yes, absolutely. If a paying customer wants a well done steak with ketchup, sure. Or if they want some ugly clothing. Hell yeah, as long as they’re paying.
It’s not an excuse to act like an entitled asshole.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK Employers do NOT verify your total work history unless you're applying for a government position.
7·4 months agoThis one is so crazy to me. I have two friends that seem to be facing this issue right now. One took 6 months off after being laid off from his job because he wanted to, had enough money to, and just wanted to take some time off and travel etc. He keeps getting grilled about it, and has been job hunting for another 6 months on top of it. Now he’s been unemployed for a year and is getting grilled even harder for it. Why is that a problem? Like why do people see that as some kind of flaw? “I had the resources to take some time off so I did” seems perfectly fine to me
The other friend was suffering from severe burnout and decided to take a year off to get his own mental health in order. Once again, I don’t see the problem with that. If you can afford to take a year off and that’s what you want to do with your time and money, then right on, go do that. Life is for living. But now he’s having a very hard time getting a job because of it.
Its kinda bullshit.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump State Department official has called for mass sterilization of ‘low-IQ trash’
14·5 months agoYeah, I feel like people are missing the part where he literally said “Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.)”
He is very clearly talking about a certain demographic, but because he didn’t explicitly say it, he can still deny it. But we all know exactly what he meant.

1·6 months agoWell they ain’t gonna brick my SreamDeck, so I say go for it Nintendo.
Not that I think this is acceptable behavior, but I’m okay with them pushing people away from their systems into using alternatives.
This is a self-own.

politics @lemmy.world•Here Comes Trump's Privatization of the Social Security Administration
2·8 months agoI like AI for a couple things here and there when I elect to use it. When I am forced to use it and I did not elect it, I fucking hate it.
I’m not even sure I would call it “low income households”, more like “older building/houses”. Plenty of expensive apartment units are in old buildings (I’m looking at you NYC) without proper ventilation.
I own a unit in a co-op in a building that is over 100 years old. I have a gas stove. There is a vent on my above-range microwave but it’s just a filter that blows it back into the room. I do a lot of cooking. I’m in danger.
Why is nobody talking about how dirty that power strip is? And one of the plugs isn’t all the way seated. That thing poses more danger than Luigi.

Music@lemmy.world•What are your thoughts on “The fat of the land” by Prodigy ?English
3·10 months agoHa! Very funny that you mention Jock Jams Volume 2.
When my wife was in labor with our first daughter, and it came time to push, the album she wanted to listen to was Jock Jams Volume 1.
We just had our second daughter yesterday, we are still in the Maternity ward. Guess what album we listened to during the pushing part of labor? That’s right…
Jock Jams Volume 2.
