I mean, there was that post earlier today about someone having about 100 hours of voice recordings of interviews with Epstein about shit Trump told him, about the white house and otherwise.

So what you're saying is that the democrats should be the ones interfering with the elections on election day /s :D

It'd be nice if they rejected the result if he won instead but no, of course the Republicans can't have a spine like that.

I recently learned about the great auk, it's so sad that they no longer exist. Humans really suck, so many species went extinct because of us. And in this case it wasn't even necessary for survival, they just killed a ton of them for their feathers to make fancier pillows (and other stuff) but they weren't eaten I believe...

After working in a role that I didn't necessarily like at a company that wasn't a good fit for me I quit at the end of august. Up until last week I hadn't really had any new potential jobs come up but now it seems I got multiple options :) Looks like it's going to work out after all.

The American reaction in the second frame should've been: cool, here's more weapons.

Haha it's so ridiculous that these articles never take into consideration that people in the office don't have a lot of productive time.

I had the same, I would have a somewhat easy first hour, then spend 2 to 3 hours really focusing and then I'd basically be done for the day and would spend some time idling after lunch until I deemed it was an appropriate time to leave and "work some more from home".

My best year billability wise was the first year of the covid lockdowns, I managed to generate something like 25% more just because of being able to work from home and cutting back on the travel time to customers and being able to multi-task occasionally when I had a quiet day for a customer. I'm glad I live in the Netherlands, hybrid/remote working seems like it'll remain over here at least.

As an outsider I honestly just don't get what people see in this idiot. How can you take someone that talk like that seriously? He sounds like a nutter that is promising crazy stuff that would literally mean the end of the USA as we know it.

If he'd get his way with this and the other project 2025 stuff it'd honestly be the end of America I think.

I'm still happy that I went through the effort to delete all my old posts when I left Reddit a while back. I periodically check if they've restored them and luckily it hasn't happened so far. I do miss some of the bigger communities but overall I'm having a good time on Lemmy.

If only our public transport was affordable. We pay way more than other European countries (besides maybe Germany and the Scandinavian countries), especially when you consider how little distance you're really travelling. As an example, to get from Eindhoven central station to Amsterdam central station you take 1 train, it takes you 1 hour and 20 minutes and you pay €22,70 for a one way ticket. If we're looking at distance, this is about 120 km. This means that to get there and go back home you pay €45,40.

If you travel by yourself you can argue that it's worth it to take the train there since parking + fuel isn't that cheap here either. However, as soon as you have more than 1 person the car quickly becomes the cheaper option, even with parking included. As long as they don't solve this issue I don't see any success in their push to get people to use public transport. And I know the solution will probably be to make everything even more expensive but that's not going to help in the long run either...

Besides the amount of content (and the occasional server issues) on Lemmy I haven't missed anything about Reddit after switching.

Speaking as a Dutch person, our infrastructure just isn't made for cars this size. People basically need to enlarge their driveways to park something like this. So if you need to park a car like this it's almost impossible. That would stop most people from getting one, except the type of person that does buy one...
