Slavery was about 99% of what drove the entire thing, so it makes sense to me.
To stay in compliance with weekly Lemmy AI image memes, here this is.
No, you're not imagining things.
It's security footage of Sailor Moon stealing from a Target whilst eating a fried spaghetti sandwich.
Yeah, we may be at checkmate. Unlike the end of the age of the robber barons, when we reformed capitalism in the late 1800s / early 1900s in the US... this time the capitalists have purchased enough politicians to stop reform completely and forever.
In order for us to vote for change, change has to be on the ballot.

"I'm sorry, fairly-right-of-center Southern Democrats. You're not quite evil enough for me anymore, I need to spread my wings."
I'm getting major "I'm asking for a friend" vibes off of this post.
Oh, you've got a behavior there, but the wrong motivation.
I sit at home, but I don't sit on public toilets precisely because dudes have been whizzing all over the seat.

Which seems to me to be when you'd WANT your food service employee (whom you probably forced to work while sick) to wear one, so that they don't spread it to the rest of your staff. But I guess I'm not a fast food company corporate executive, so what do I know?
You all might not be aware, but I think Rudd started this server only at the beginning of June for funsies, probably only expecting a couple of hundred users.
Then, of course, came Reddit API-calypse. Now, here we are barely 4 weeks later, almost 80k users on the instance. From nothing, to a respectable chuck of the fediverse, just that fast. Pretty amazing.
Thanks, I'd forgotten about this one. Our AC will be out for a few days. I've already started loading water bottles into the freezer.
