I have gotten conflicting information from a number of sources. Are ICE agents generally under compensated or well compensated compared to the average American salary? I know that law enforcement is generally well paid and usually takes home above the average US income. I know their are government pay scales and multiple other factors that go into calculating someone's salary.

I am not saying that I don't agree with you. But this country is still not even close to considering nationalizing its own telecommunication infrastructure. Much less a privately held space company and a service of communication satellites. A large chunk of America believes that a for-profit business model for every good and service possible in life is the best course of action.

I recommend purging the vengeful ghost or whatever evil spirit is haunting that place and getting out of whatever rural or abandoned town that building is located in. It's likely in the upper northeast or midwest and would be the kind of place that Stephen King would set his next novel in.

I disagree. I am in no way a fan of Amazon. But there are some niche products that are only sold through the platform by the supplying vendor or are so specialized that there's really no other retailer that is going to make an effort to list it for sale.

Listen, I am a Lemmy supporter at the highest level. I believe that the Fediverse model for social media is the next step in evolution for the industry. But Lemmy itself, in terms of the front end, is a near exact copy of Reddit. And was created, at least in part, with the idea that from the beginning, it couldn't be heavily monetized and become a profit-driven and publicly traded company. That it wouldn't sacrifice the quality of the product and lead to the enshittification of the service like so many other digital offerings.

But currently, if you were to compare Reddit and Lemmy. Reddit's digital content offerings are significantly better than Lemmy's. Which makes sense. Reddit has been around for much longer than Lemmy and is much more known by the general public. It has a much larger user base as a result. Which for a user generated content platform is everything when it comes to the pool of individuals that can generate and submit interesting content.

That's because the nature of the marketing model has changed. Mcdonald's has shifted their marketing demographic to exclusively adults due to the decades of growing backlash and lawsuits over the nutritional value and predatory practices of targeting children. Among many other controversies. Of all the businesses in any industry, this is probably one of the worst examples to give.

Yes, their's truth from an architectural stance that does show a shift to contemporary minimalism. But McDonald's, while perhaps not the most inherently evil company in the world, at least by the amount of true harm they purposely do or the product they provide and those who voluntary choose to consume it. Is still a reflection of many of the United State's problems. Everything from issues concerning wages, labor relations, nutritional literacy, and lifestyle practices, to name a few.

Almost all non-gender bathrooms I have ever seen are just single occupent restrooms. Would that be covered under the ban, or would their be more nuance than that?

“Not even in the face of Armageddon. Never compromise.”

I am not against the actual act itself. It's more the mindless routine many people partake and advocate for without questioning it in the first place. It's more a lack of critical thinking and understanding of the general public. Which I know is a criticism that goes well beyond this simple act.

They say anyone can cook. But that doesn't mean that anyone should cook.

I understand the idea of removing the basic dirt and grim that could still be left on the surface of the lettuce. But the idea that running the vegetable under the water has any help in sterilizing it has to be pseudoscience. Too many adults have this mentality that washing produce purchased from the grocery store drastically reduces your chance of food born illness. If your food is contaminated with harmful microscopic organisms in a food outbreak. I doubt washing it is going to change much.
