Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Americans would you consider wearing a Guy Fawks mask on election day?
0·2 years agoConsidering voter ID is required in most states now, you have to show your face in order to vote.
Also, this really wouldn’t work in Oregon since it’s all vote by mail there.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Adult daughter. Should I disown her!?English
0·3 years agoMy daughter is not an adult, she’s a teenager. But it’s her job to put away the dishes. And no matter what I do, she can’t understand that, in the silverware drawer, THE BIG SPOONS GO IN THE BIG SPOON SLOT AND THE LITTLE SPOONS GO IN THE LITTLE SPOON SLOT!
And she thinks this is acceptable.
I understand the compulsion to disown.

Technology@lemmy.world•In the Google antitrust trial, defaults are everything and nobody likes BingEnglish
0·3 years agoI really hate saying this because it pisses me off, but I primarily use DuckDuckGo, which is based on Bing, and I sometimes have to switch over to Google because the search isn’t as effective. Especially if I want to put something in quotes, which DuckDuckGo doesn’t even seem to recognize. Their image search is not as good either.
I don’t want to use Google at all. I hate that it’s still necessary sometimes for a decent search.
And yes, I realize that a lot of Google searches suck too. But I still shouldn’t have to ever go there. Especially not for something as simple as that.

Technology@lemmy.world•SAG-AFTRA Seeks Approval for Second Strike Against Video Game CompaniesEnglish
0·3 years agoYes, blame your co-workers for everything. It must be their faults. They’re all “deadbeats” and “abusers.”
Also, your job is supposed to provide for you when you’re injured.

0·3 years agoDo you like weekends? Thank unions. Do you like sick pay? Thank unions. Do you like overtime pay? Thank unions.
Unions make your job better even if you’re not in one by fighting for your rights as much as theirs. They want your pay to be as good as their pay.

0·3 years agoCool. I hope it gets other areas of the game industry to unionize. They deserve it.
