Military recruiting continues to trend down in the U.S. but one area of growth against that was legal immigrants and children of illegal immigrants.

I’d wager we’ll have a lot fewer of those folks to recruit in the coming years.

We usually get the Cascade pods but tried Kirkland this year and haven’t noticed a difference.

Agreed it’s a combo of higher seat density and way more checked bags.

I swear in the 90s getting off a plane felt way quicker.

Surprised that nowhere is negative actually.

This one of those hobbies that sounds so cool but so impractical to get into. Like it makes getting a boat sound like a cheap and easy hobby.

It’s always been a great low pressure avenue for opening up to potentially like minded people and starting conversations.

I just wish people would show some more IRL decorum, generally. For example we’re responding to an OP talking about “stupid, stupid” people or whatever. I’d be a little more positive off the bat if we were having this conversation at a party.

Somewhere there is a sales deck estimating ROI for uncomfortable toilets.

The martinis are a legit glam shot. Nice work.

In a work environment I can only assume they just leave that box in the flow but the actual session duration limit is set by your IT policy.

Wait until you hear about people who leave butter outside the fridge for days at a time.

Scrolling from your first meme to this version was too perfect.

Probably your mom, the whale.

I don’t get it. The border is north of the UP.

Why do the straights count?

Thanks! This one copied clean into imessage

The people making the big bucks in Silicon Valley are often the people really good at understanding psychology and manipulating people’s behavior.

I honestly would have never thought of this either. I’m one of those traditional losers who thinks providing a good value/service at a sustainable margin is a good way to run a business.

We’re still in the first act of the scenario you think is certain. Meanwhile WDET is going to be short $700,000 next fiscal year and that’s what I was thinking about when I originally commented. Had I realized we were not on the same page I wouldn’t have replied to your comment directly.

Dawg I was like how tf did a Lemmy post get 48k votes.

Also NAL and different sizes of platforms have different obligations. Could be wrong that the scenario I described applies to Lemmy.

I’m ignoring the US politics for a moment…

If I flag a comment on Lemmy for abuse, breaking community rules, or other reasons, do you y’all think I am individually owed a response from the mod team on whether the content stays approved, or was removed, that includes the specific criteria behind the decision?

That’s what the DSA requires among many other requirements.
