I have had trouble with it finding addresses as well. I use Magic Earth for driving because it can actually find most all the locations I search for.

You don’t need to apologize: that user could have clicked your link to the cricut site and easily figured it out. They are being willfully ignorant and intentionally vauge.

I have ranked choice voting. 🙂 I even had to vote for it three times for my damn state government to recognize the will of the voters and implement it. Currently I think only Alaska and Maine have it. I really hope other states push for it, but judging by the last election cycle where several states voted against it, it’s not looking good.

This is part of the terrible fallout of people not voting; people across several states stayed home when they literally could have voted for a better system of voting. It’s crazymaking.

I actually voted both third party and for Harris, so maybe don’t assume you know how people voted or what they want.

Not all the people who didn’t vote for Harris are Trump supporters; there are a lot of leftists and progressives who believe that they can’t survive any more late-stage capitalism. They recognize that the only peaceful chance to stop the wealthiest 1% from ruling is to stop electing them and stop electing the people who are bought by them.

Corporate democrats are better on certain social issues but they’ll still put wealth over people, and they’ll never move left. It’s why we have the cruel health system we have today. It’s why the banks got bailed out and never got regulated. It’s why the Digital Millennium Copyright Act passed. Heck, 81 Congressional house democrats just voted for a military spending bill that denies medical care to trans kids.

Kamala Harris is a corporate democrat.

Man, fuck the police.

That is amazing!

And don’t forget about track skipping!

Fast Forward…wait…Stop. Play. Fast Forward a little more…wait. Stop. Play. Rewind a little. Stop. Play. “Ehh, close enough.”

It is absolutely horrible and unethical to make money on misfortune of others.

It’s not just making money on the misfortune of others; it’s active and intentional cruelty on the most vulnerable people who are the least able to fight back. It’s active choices that hurt these people, bankrupt them, or send them to their deaths, all for maximizing profits.

It’s cruel, it’s inhumane, it’s vile, and ALL the US health insurance companies do it. They are all guilty of these crimes against humanity.

“I’m sorry, we don’t currently have a code for ‘face intentionally ripped off by black bear’, so your claim was auto-denied.“

“I’m sorry, since you can still breathe and eat, your appeal of our initial denial was rejected, as the facial reconstructive procedures are considered ‘cosmetic’ in this case.”

“I’m sorry, your second level appeal of our denial was rejected because, in the year and a half it took to get this far, we changed the laws in our favor and are no longer required to cover the procedures and care required for your condition. It’s also nearly impossible to successfully sue us because we have infinitely more money than you and have congress in our pocket. Thank you for paying your ever-increasing premiums for absolutely minimal coverage.”

Always have been 🧑‍🚀🔫

They absolutely will, as soon as the media spotlight is off them. Or, they’ll come up with an alternative cut to the health plans that’s even more cruel and profitable. It is what the system demands.

That’ll create a martyr for sure.

Yes, and also all these companies are evil and they all are more than worthy of the UHC CEO treatment.

Doesn’t Google Messages require access to your contacts to even run? My experience was that it didn’t even ask permission; it just gave itself permission when I first launched it.

I learned about Swappa years ago and exclusively use them for buying and selling all my smartphones. I have no idea why they aren’t more popular, except for the fact that repair shop resellers use it too, but they are pretty easy to avoid.

Even in this comment, you didn’t offer an alternative for “biological male”

I absolutely did: “trans woman”.

I was educating. It’s 2024 and trans people are dying and having their basic human rights taken away, due in part to the pervasive rhetoric I originally called out. I expect better of people, and transphobic comments on lemmy are not welcome and break the rule of civility in the lemmy.world news community.

Also, you’re telling me - a trans person - that they are virtue signaling about trans issues.

It’s not virtue signaling. The language the other person used is what the republicans constantly say when they are describing trans women because they don’t believe trans women are women, and it’s used to take away the rights of trans people, and it’s working.

There are plenty of ways to say that she isn’t cis and doesn’t have a uterus while being respectful – like I just did.

I’m as left as they come, but the virtue signaling you just did is why so many people get so turned off by so much rhetoric of our political side.

I think you want the trans community and its allies to not confront you on dangerous rhetoric then, while they constantly have to fight people on the left and right to keep from having their rights stripped away.

Being an ally means being open to learning when we make mistakes, and the language the other person used wasn’t appropriate. I hope you and others here can understand why.
