halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto Antiwork@slrpnk.net•If you're unemployed, it's not because there isn't any work.English11·4 months agoAfter WW2, there were lots of unempoyed service members. They were given employment opportunities though government beautification projects. Planting trees along roads and the like.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto Technology@beehaw.org•Mom horrified by Character.AI chatbots posing as son who died by suicide - Ars Technica4·4 months agoYeah, I know someone who won’t watch that episode again because of how unsettling it is. Luckily for them, it’s slowly becoming reality.
For the rest of this guy’s life, he will have to lie to himself about why people are laughing in hushed tones to one another whenever he’s at the beach or pool.
I had no idea I was clipping my own wings by avoiding horrendous run-ons.
I put on a bird video for my cat, she was very interested. One of the birds suddenly flew off, and she ran behind the tv in search of it. We laughed right in our cat’s face, at her expense.
Kinda funny seeing a post about the written word so flagrantly disregard appropriate use of punctuation.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Republican town hall drowned out by "tax the rich" chants7·4 months agoIt’s as if the more a population is restricted, the harder it will resist. It’s taking a while for the american people to be roused, but I have hope that it gathers speed and power, not unlike a boulder hurdling down a hill towards a village.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Tesla secures permit needed for applying to operate an autonomous ride-hailing30·4 months agoCall for an uber, driverless tesla pulls up. Call a tow truck, don’t cancel the order. “Yeah hi, thanks for showing up. Yeah I dunno, it just pulled up here and it’s blocking my driveway.”
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•US: Hamas solely to blame for resumption of Gaza hostilities6·4 months agoStop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself!
I fell for the lies every time. I felt like a teenage girl dating a cheating ex, telling myself he really changed this time, it would be different.
Well maybe we needed a dog control button, Peter!
Maybe I’m still not over it. I’ll see myself out.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•Bill presented that would make disliking Trump grounds for an involuntary mental health hold1·4 months agoFor a while, american police were diagnosing people with cases of “excited delirium”. They would say the person was unresponsive to commands, and due to their mental state, were a danger to themselves and others.
The officer feared for their life. That’s why the officer had to be involved in a shooting, resulting in injuries, and the person would later die in an ambulance or hospital.
Sometimes they used it as an excuse to kneel on people’s necks. In some cases, the people they were detaining begged for their lives, only to expire later due to injuries sustained from the arrest.

halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Any recommendations from the Steam Spring Sale?4·4 months agoThey don’t have to, but still can purchase the lower priced game, to get the same sale as you or me. Hence, frugality.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•What if Ukraine decides to fight on without America?6·4 months agoI bet a small portion of the country will remain Ukrainian, but only because no one else is going to willingly add Chernobyl to their country.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Secretary General, Mark Rutte announced that NATO membership for Ukraine is off the table. He also says that relations with Russia need to be normalized post-war.4·4 months agoI suppose time will tell. If it does happen, I’ll be interested in seeing how it’s presented in the media.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto Work Reform@lemmy.world•New Report Shows Working-Class Americans Live 7 Years Fewer Than Rich2·4 months agoCan you elaborate? Most people will not end up as 1% rich, as implied by the name. The average working person is in risk of destitution. We are all much much closer to homelessness than we are to immense wealth.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Any recommendations from the Steam Spring Sale?271·4 months agoFrugality does not imply a lack of wealth.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto Work Reform@lemmy.world•New Report Shows Working-Class Americans Live 7 Years Fewer Than Rich15·4 months agoNot 1% rich, as the article says.
Years of being unable to afford preventative care, and insurance coverage denial for helpful procedures, mean the average person will die sooner. The lifespan of Americans is much lower, despite higher costs of healthcare, when compared against peer countries.
I bet there’s more plastic in poorer people as well.
I can’t wait for Skyblivion. I haven’t been this excited to pay full price for a game since Fable 2.
