Shit, that's a bad look for Disney. The idea that someone could sign up for a 30-day trial to some product and completely lose their right to a jury trial for life against any and all companies associated with the parent company is absurd.

The attorney was right to describe that as preposterous. And if the court cedes and tosses the trial, it sets a chilling precedent against consumer rights.

This probably one of those fake job postings I heard about.

I would be willing to bet that it is a Ghost Job. I sympathize with that struggle. I'm sure I have applied to a couple of those recently, too.

I found that many ghost jobs stay up for a while, so what I started doing to find leads was utilize search engine operators to find recent postings. Something like: (site:greenhouse.io | site:workday.com) after:2024-07-24 "system admin" That should find "system admin" jobs posted on workday and greenhouse, commonly used as internal job boards, posted in the last couple of days.

You could even add more job boards to the list by using site: between the parenthesis and separated with bars to expand your search. Or you could change the after statement to today to find very fresh jobs to try to find posts less than 24 hours old and be among the first applicants.

That trick (or maybe just my persistence with an overwhelming portion of luck, idk) managed to eventually get me something new, so I'm hopeful it wasn't a fluke and it can help someone else, too.

Best of luck.

Oof. Y'all are correct about the misunderstanding. I apologize for the heated response. Being wrong kinda takes the fire out of my indignation and now I just feel foolish. Thanks for the lesson, y'all

the "do nothing congress" was miles better

This sentiment is wrong. Making some effort to correct course should be a bare minimum. Accepting the broken system as irreversibly corrupt and doing nothing about it is objectively worse than using the institutions as they are intended. Even if these impeachments go nowhere, let it excite voters to turn out.

If you show up and vote for the party that actually wants to accomplish something, here is an example of what can be done. If you want to see checks and balances in action, vote for the party that is willing to make it happen.

With all the talk of the corruption of the most powerful court in the country, here is what the process looks like to fix it.

Conversely, if you just want to lie down and allow the court to continue to tear down the other "co-equal" branches of government, and regress our rights in an overtly corrupt way, then go ahead and sit back down. Do what you seem to prefer our elected leaders do: Shut up and fuck off. Find another place to commiserate with other self defeated losers.

Conservatives. Shitting their pants to own the libs.

We have children who need help! Someone call in the "pro-life" conservatives! Don't worry, gang, we know those God-loving righteous people will come through to solve this. Surely, they will be stumbling over each other help. Nobody talks a bigger game of saving the kids.

Same, bro. I wanted to know what they had to say, so I read a couple paragraphs of "I'm a liberal elite democrat, just like you" followed by "Trump did nothing wrong" and knew I had to stop. It is dishonest to look at the Mueller report and come to the conclusion that there was nothing worth investigating when Mueller explicitly said that he recommends charges against the then president -- specifically several counts of obstruction by him and his administration that effectively stonewalled the investigation about collusion with Russia.

If that's how they felt was the strongest opening argument, it reveals how weak that whole angle was. It certainly did reveal a bias, but not on the part of NPR, and it is certainly clear that this author deserves no more time or attention.

Take the L, m8.

I'm literate. They clearly meant "vessel."

I'm less convinced of either of those statements now than I was before.

[-] SpaceBishop@lemmy.zip 32 points 5 months ago

Hello friend. Vassal is actually not misspelled, and is a different word from vessel. In this context, the vassal of horror would be an emissary or owner of lands of horror.

Don't let trolls bring you down. Some people just are not happy without making someone else sad.

While I personally do appreciate the level of detail and amount of options provided in this reply, the more straightforward and longer-term solution is to eat the rich.

could hurt pedestrians and cyclists

I dare you to convince me that anyone still buying Tesla would not see that as a benefit. That's going to be the number one selling point of this thing after articles like this make their rounds.
