Unironically? Maybe not. But using something ironically is still using it.

I have a savings account with a credit union, they can offer some pretty good rates and will generally have a very open investment strategy. Customer service has been rather good, at least when accessed via phone. I don’t think my union offers things like current accounts, but I hear some do.

You experience is going to be heavily dependent on your specific union, they tend not to have as much money to throw around as major banks do, so don’t expect a bespoke app or anything like that.

Why did you, personally, leave Reddit?

Just don’t read The Mirror. Generally not worth the effort of moving your eyes from one word to the next.

A lot of it is follow the leader type bullshit. For companies in areas where AI is actually beneficial they have already been implementing it for years, quietly because it isn’t something new or exceptional. It is just the tool you use for solving certain problems.

Investors going to bubble though.

Not going to be useful. They don’t want a democracy, they don’t want a justice system. They want a king and the ability to use state power to shit on other people.

But what are they filtering for?

This is why I like finest as percentage of turnover like what the GDPR does. Even the big shits pay attention of you are willing to make the fines actually significant.

Or we can just start nationalising businesses that break the law. No compensation for the leaches, just now the company serves the state. Lots of folk have no problem imprisoning and nationalising the labour of human criminals.

If we are going to suffer states we should at least make good use of them.

If it isn’t on your shelves (or server) it isn’t your library, it’s someone else’s access.

The persistent thing I get from right wing folk is that they can not, on a fundamental level get their head round the idea that some people think differently to them. They fear the loss of their power because they know what they do with it, and fear someone else having it. They say other people are triggered because of the unreasoning fury they respond to cognitive dissonance with. They are worried about people ‘making children gay’ because they will happily imprison and torture people until they present cis/hetero. They make women cover up because they know that any excuse to rape would be enough for them. They support the police because the threat of the police is the only thing keeping their neighbours safe from them. They are scared of the feds because they know what they have used the feds to do.

Don’t trust them. Especially when they think no one is watching.

If we lived in a socialist utopia we wouldn’t have to criticise landlords. Your arguement doesn’t even rise to the level of sophistry.

There comes an issue when a private citizen seeks to use the engines of state to punish those whose speech offends them.

It’s one thing to withdraw society and business from someone who offends you, quite another to demand that the state crush them for you. Of course, most states will do that to a greater or lesser degree. No state extends an absolute freedom of speech.

I stand corrected.

I suspect they will graciously provide the necessities in return for your labour and any remaining rights you have.

Take a look at how company stores and scrip worked. As the song goes: Saint Peter don’t you call me 'cause I can’t go/Sold my soul to the company store.

I heard more than a few US states decided to expend a law on requiring it because taught, your grandson might be a victim of such a policy.

Man, this must be what it feels like to be a teacher, all the time. It’s cool though, much better than I can manage.

Irreverence.

Or sometimes it’s yogh.

Vacuum is another good one, or anniversary.
