Biden rejects growing pressure to abandon his campaign, vows to stay 'to the end'
  • What made them "not serious"? Did they have shit opinions? Did they forget their lines? Or was it just that they weren't popular enough?

    I bet you it's the latter. Well who makes people popular? We fucking do. We share their shit on social media. We talk about them on forums, with family, friends, and strangers. We buy their merch and plaster it all over the place. But because the US population was told "Biden's your only chance", they rallied behind him.

    Not behind some independent with values, with new proposals, with credentials, with opinions of this age, with the ability to stay awake during a debate. No. The citizens of the USA got behind some old fart they were told to.

  • What generation are you?
  • This separation into "generations" is such bullshit. It's just another way to divide the haves from the have-nots. If you blindly believe that generations define you, you're the problem. You're making it easy to be controlled and find another person to concentrate on while your rights, your liberties, your opportunities, and your privacy get slowly taken away from you.

  • What was your most intrusive thought?
  • Always felt like stabbing footballs when practicing juggling. Knowing I felt that kind of anger towards inanimate objects was a big reason not to have kids. Destroying your own property is fine. It's just property. A kid though...

  • Biden rejects growing pressure to abandon his campaign, vows to stay 'to the end'
  • The DNC and the American people are once again to blame for the rise of fascism in their own country. They knew Biden was too old to run again, they knew he's senile, they didn't try and find another candidate, didn't rally behind one, didn't bother to vote for anybody younger.

  • "Travel" by TheSquareComic
  • Some people when they travel: go to a new place to eat the same shit as at home, and if that isn't possible, complain about "how everything is different here". If you wanted more of the same, why did you travel?

  • "Travel" by TheSquareComic
  • Maybe in the US. Go to London and you'll get some really good takeaway from Indian, Pakistani, West Indies, and many other nationalities that are so much better than Mc Donalds. Same goes for pretty much any place outside of the US. Walk into pretty much any bakery in France, Croatia, Lithuania, Finland or Poland and they'll have better stuff.

  • Answered: Is there such a thing as "overqualified"?

    Or is it just a term made up to find an easier reason to reject job applicants?

    ---------

    So it looks like the consensus is "overqualified" is a euphemism for

    • "I'm afraid you'll leave this job because I'm assuming you'll have better chances elsewhere" aka "you won't accept being my slave forever due to lack of opportunities"
    • "I'm afraid you might actually understand how shitty it is here and want to improve things. can't have that"
    • "I don't want to figure out how much to pay you when you know your worth"
    • "You cost too much"
    • "I have other reasons, but won't say them"

    Why don't low birth-rate countries make immigration to their country easier?

    Wouldn't they benefit from more people? Of course it would come with the condition of learning the language at an acceptable level and that being tied to residency.

    Is feddit.de working?

    Sometimes I click on instances to check them out, but feddit.de has consistently been returning a 500 error however there are people posting from there. What kind of magic is this? Have the Germans figured out how to have a private instance that's somehow still connected to the fediverse?

    https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/feddit.de says it's down
