Buy Canadian@lemmy.ca•Campbell’s Soup VP mocks ‘poor people’ who buy its food in secret recording

13·2 months agoI didn’t get chicken pox until I was a Freshman in high school. It fucking sucked and I missed a lot of wrestling season because of it.
One of my biggest regrets is that I didn’t ask to be vaccinated. Sure that’s kinda my parents’ fault but I never asked about it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•As an asexual girl who still wants a male partner, would “scheduled sex” be a dealbreaker for men?
11·2 months agoAlso late 90s Midwest here and I got similar information. We also got completely untrue info like if you jizz in a hot tub and a girl gets in she can get pregnant because the sperm will swim into her vagina and from long distances away.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Regulations restricting pay disclosure?English
4·2 months agoIANAL, but employment law is generally “it’s allowed unless explicitly forbidden”.
There is no right to be hired so they’re allowed to include any limitations on who they might hire except for those that are illegal. For instance they can say “we refuse to hire people who live in Illinois” but they can’t say “we refuse to hire Muslims.”

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it weird that i talk to my pets more articulately than i sometimes talk to actual people?
2·3 months agoYes this is weird, but it’s OK to be weird. Keep doing it if you enjoy it. Anyone who tells you to stop can fuck themselves.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are physical mail generally not under surveillance? If everyone suddently ditched electronic communications and start writing letters, would governments be able to surveil everyone? (Is it practial?)
1·3 months agoIf you’re just a rando, yeah you’re not going to have much to worry about. They also can’t track everyone. But it is certainly possible for high value targets.

1·3 months agoMy understanding is that there is an expectation of privacy in the USA in the contents of a sealed envelope. I don’t believe that the government can legally open one without a warrant. According to the case Ex Parte Jackson they can’t. However…
You have to trust that they wouldn’t break that law or someone else wouldn’t open it. Depends on your threat model. And as others have said, the government would know who you are communicating with, just not what you’re saying.
You’re statistically lucky. That’s about it.
Also I exist as a testament to the fact that pulling out doesn’t work very well.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Should I try to reconnect with a friend who's chosen to self isolate?English
4·3 months agoIt’s the only answer. Worst case she ignores you. Best case, you save her life.
Just don’t think you need to do more than that. You can’t help people who don’t want help.
You have to determine if asking for help is worse than not asking for help. It will be hard either way. I don’t know your relationship with your parents but if they care about you and can afford it they probably will help. And if they don’t you can make a plan for how to deal with that. At least you’ll know.

25·3 months agoATCs shouldn’t show up to work until they get paid.
They’re losing because they’re going to get tired of all the winning. Which is why the Republicans losing is actually winning. They’re no longer tired of winning. So they can win again.

stinerman@midwest.socialtoAsk the Midwest@midwest.social•What's your opinion of Zohran Mamdani?English
8·3 months agoSeems fine. I don’t have a strong opinion because I haven’t paid attention to him. I generally don’t when it comes to local politicians who I can’t vote for.
I hope he does well and makes the people of NYC proud.
