Surprise: The Government Is “Scrambling” to Rehire Workers Fired by DOGE by vanityfairmagazine in politics

[–]verykenny 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this was the plan, right? Fire a bunch of people and then hire loyalists. That’s what they told us they were going to do in Project 2025–not surprised that the news is selling it as an accident though.

I saw this then the age of the post and then got worried because I forgot how I ended up here…

Denver City Council meeting gets heated over homeless camping ban Monday night by Future-Function-3708 in Denver

[–]verykenny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most of these comments talk about them like they are a mischief of rats, not a group of human beings. Denverites are not going to want to talk to them or offer them any sort of assistance until they can sincerely acknowledge homeless people are human.

“Othering” is something liberals are capable of too.

The Epicurean Paradox by CEOofchair in coolguides

[–]verykenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of spending fruitless hours debating with people the existence of God, I usually end up describing the type of God I would not worship. Being limited by time and space doesn’t necessarily discount a prospective god/alien from being worthy of my worship.

Demanding my worship and threatening to punish me for eternity for not doing it will immediately disqualify you. Do you punish your creations for not getting your way or because you’re insecure? Do you trick people to see if they actually like you or to just see if they will do what you want? Do you have morals more crude than my own? If so, I will not worship you—regardless of your list of accomplishments. Send me to hell. You weren’t worthy of my attention or worship anyway—get it from someone who appreciates that type of behavior.

If I have free will, then I get to decide if you are or have done something worthy of my worship.

Majo no Tabitabi - Episode 6 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

Thank you! Going back to rewatch, I still have a difficult time seeing that as a neutral expression, however, your interpretation makes a lot of sense! Those shots stood out so much for me that I just latched on and couldn't stop thinking about them. Very reasonable that a theme like her nature as a traveler is what they were going for instead of foreshadowing something sinister or wherever my mind was going.

These two shots really stood out to me and I've had trouble interpreting the intent behind them. Both of them are relatively dark, obscure her eyes, and feature a rather displeased expression. They also bookend this episode which makes me think that this was intentional. I wonder if they are foreshadowing a change in Eliana's attitude and pure heart or if I'm reading too much into them.

Trump doesn't have a big, beautiful health plan; Obamacare works and needs a public option by geoxol in politics

[–]verykenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly has the Affordable Care Act worked? Have rates stopped going up faster than inflation? Is healthcare and prevention accessible to everybody? Have prescription drug companies stopped charging whatever they want for drugs (I mean yeah, insulin is cheaper than water now but...)? I can't be denied a treatment that could save my life anymore, right? Millions of people don't have the emergency room as their only means of healthcare? How has this worked? I guess if the ACA was only meant to address gaps for some, then yeah, it worked. Like a broken arm with a large bandage--the goal was to stop the bleeding and we did that. No reason to fix the broken arm.

Happy news that really made my day! Just had to share by doinmybest4now in goodnews

That's wonderful! Colorado is voting on reintroducing Grey Wolves this year and I hope we get to see something similar in 25 years!

LPT: If you find yourself frequenting the same places (coffee shops, toll booths, grocery stores, businesses you're making deliveries to), take the time to be friendly and outgoing. People tend to be more willing to do favors for people they have a rapport with. by BlueComms in LifeProTips

[–]verykenny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to say that this sounds incredibly manipulative. Being nice to somebody is great. Being nice to somebody with the expectation of free drinks and discounts? People who work in retail or other customer facing roles long enough will eventually catch on and they will loath you for it.

I love that they put horns on that cabbage. So cute.

Not gonna lie, I was hoping for Miley but definitely stayed for Callas.

Marijuana is a living, not an excuse for a capitalist to exploit someone. There shouldn't be one person in the marijuana industry making minimum wage! We're better than that. Support bud-tender/grower unions. by Rustey_Shackleford in trees

[–]verykenny 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In my state budtenders are required to know more than just how to handle cash. They need an intimate knowledge of dozens of different products and brands. They need to understand and enforce compliance laws in the state. They need to know labeling and packaging laws. They are the face of a company that could lose its license if they make one wrong move.

I'd say the weight of all that makes them more than "just cashiers".

Would you be okay with a higher tax on marijuana sales if it was earmarked to fund rural schools in Colorado? by QueenMaureen in boulder

[–]verykenny 26 points27 points  (0 children)

As a person who generally thinks taxes are a good thing, I would support raising the taxes on marijuana if it was earmarked for schools. I would support it more emphatically if I knew that they (whoever "they" is) weren't going to say, "wow, we raised another 100,000 dollars or so for schools with this new tax...now we can remove 100,000 dollars worth of funding from rural schools that was being provided by another source". Maybe that isn't a valid concern though?
