Biden used a policy called Humanitarian Parole, an extended temporary process stay which requires presidential renewal every 2 years.
That is to say, their current temporary status is itself the achievement that Biden has accomplished (once initially and one renewal so far), and that Harris will presumably continue and Trump will presumably revoke.
Dhalgren by Samuel Delany
(Close race with House of Leaves, but ultimately House of Leaves was telling a specific story, whereas Dhalgren is a semi-incoherent drug trip. Loved both books, though.)
Here, this link describes it pretty well: https://www.androidauthority.com/android-16-bubble-anything-3489112/
…is this loss?
It’s admittedly low, but not nobody – 1.3% of hourly workers from this report: https://usafacts.org/articles/minimum-wage-america-how-many-people-are-earning-725-hour/
Yikes! Stripes. :'(
Cums with the territory.
Often a low-effort alternative to this is to use the “plus addressing” trick: username+whateveryoulike@domain.tld
The example above routes to username@domain.tld, but you can track and filter on the extra tag portion.
Granted, it doesn’t have universal support, but it’s somewhat widespread at least.
To be fair, it did really tie the room together.
Now I really want to know what the sexual equivalent of en passant would be.
The character is an asshole AND that episode is transphobic. More telling is the creator (Graham Linehan) who is a vocal TERF. I don’t really want to pollute this space with his toxicity, but search if you’re curious.
IT Crowd
As an engr manager, I’ve often seen disparity as a result of being hired during good years vs bad years for the company. Or when someone gets a better offer to leave, the company may change their pay but no one else’s. Or hiring externally vs a transfer from another internal team. Or whether the team is coding for frontend web vs dev tools, even if using the same language. Or if female.
It’s always a challenge for one person to fix – with HR, with the department head, with yearly budget. And sometimes fixing one disparity means not having the sway to fix another as well.
Which is to say – pay transparency and unions are good for everyone. And if the company can’t afford to treat the employees equitably, then the company shouldn’t exist. (Or it should reduce its avocado toast budget.)
Not sure why the Lemmy headline says “pill form” – the article says “oral form” does not work.
So if you’re reading this and wondering about pill vs liquid, then you’re missing the actual message.
Help is cumming.
Unresolved Textual Tension is a great YouTube / podcast for book reviews and/or roasts. Generally a mix of fantasy and sci-fi, largely newer stuff (The Locked Tomb, Murderbot, Kushiel) with some classics thrown in (Dune, Hyperion). The show features 3 people with great chemistry.
On the other hand, if we’re afraid to prosecute insurrection leaders because of fear of resulting violence, that’s kinda definitionally terrorism (and specifically losing to the terrorists).
I mean, LGBTQ rights are only “not a major problem” to those who aren’t LGBTQ. But to many they’re absolutely critical too.
There can be multiple horrifying problems to fix. “All” would be stellar to fix, but “some” is still better than “none.”
“sh! it just works!”
