If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • I’ve noticed this problem got far worse the older my bottle got. It doesn’t seal super well, so I wondered if it could be avoided degrading in a better bottle.

    My favorite adjacent ink that I’ve used is diamine enchanted ocean, but that has particles. It has a similar red sheen on dark blue that can look beautiful when the pen sits in the sweet spot of flow. The least susceptible to dry out inks I’ve used have been from pennonia, but I also have not tried very many brands tbf. Nothing I’ve seen sheens as intensely as nitrogen. If I got another bottle I’d definitely consider plumbers tape at the least unless I was going to use it every refill.











  • I find them to be far more customizable, less throw away, and more expressive for what I’m trying to write. It combines to make your writing feel more like you. I also just like them because they’re built with longevity in mind without much concern for cost in most cases, with the exceptions being customizable to bring back to life if desired.





  • Didn’t really address the argument. It’s not out of context and Google is free.

    Your other argument is that it’s a slippery slope between not supporting a genociding ethnostate and not liking minorities in your own nation? Maybe when you’re an ethnonationalist. Do you think Lemmy is majority ethnonationalist? Are you one? Ironically it’s almost explicitly ethnonationalists that do support Israel because they can see the narrative of a, “successful ethnostate” as a justification for having their own, usually white Christian, version.

    I have no idea where you’re seeing rampant antisemitism from the left, I highly highly suspect it’s actually from the right and you’re being bamboozled. If anything we often ignore the fact that there’s majority support for Israel amongst Jews because we understand there’s also a lot of jews standing strong against the genocide and we don’t want to antisemetically lump them all in the way people who talk like you often do, where you’re cagey about insulting a nation state to spare the feelings of Jewish supremacists or god forbid Jews who just like the place (I wonder why). I can freely say “fuck jewish supremacists” knowing anyone who would read between the lines to more than supremacists is not arguing in good faith anyways. Being a liberal identity politics obsessive person sounds EXHAUSTING dude.



  • I will bite. Not unlike an increase in minimum wage, it increases competition at the margin among landlords, which increases amenities, and encourages families and economic activity. It needs to also be accompanied by enforcement of landlord citations as well as empty housing penalties though in order to have its full effect of reversing the trend of out of state management of private residential property and encourages self-ownership over time and better landlords. The empty housing penalties are because the landlords primary use of the properties is capital and so an empty unit is often more profitable in value than the cost of it sitting empty. Laws need to tip the scale to increase supply of housing and force their hands to release it back to people who can take on personal responsibility of the unit, whether that be a next door landlord or ideally a rent to own tenant or owner living there.
