I disagree. I think it's more helplessness than apathy.

I don't approve of all the spying, but I don't "own" any congress critters, so what can I do? I can't even opt out of the spying by cancelling my Internet plan and smashing my phone -- there's still tracking through CCTV, face recognition, license plate scanners, etc. I'd have to move to some remote middle of nowhere and live as a subsistence farmer -- and even on the way there, I'd be thoroughly tracked. There's no escape, it's like we're all in a giant digital cage.

I just hope they actually have their social security card. A quick googling told me that you need a current ID to get the social security administration to issue a replacement card. Talk about a vicious cycle!

Hmm, and what about fish?

I used to be subbed to several local subreddits, including a [mylocation]-social.

The difference in tone between people I knew from the `social meetups vs. the people in the generic city/state subreddits was truly amazing.

I read the wiki page. Pretty barebones, but it did link to https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34705968

In theory, I could entertain an argument about having criminals repay some of the costs of dealing with them, that's not what's going on here.

The sum that is able to be collected doesn't go straight into the county coffers, either - the jail contracts with a company

The jail gets 30%, the company gets 70%.

It really just looks like just another way to exploit prisoners for profit.

What if I told you both were bad?

I read the situation as: Expectations are so low that you can work the job for merely 3 hours a day and still get your work done. It's an indictment on the companies: Workers doing this should be making triple their current salaries in one job and doing so much more there -- but that capacity is wasted.

Less ... bigoted? Were there themes of bigotry in Harry Potter that I missed? Or are you simply looking for a better-regarded author?

Huh, TIL I'm a little short for a Stormtrooper at 1.68m

As an example, if I go to the starting guide and click on the top comment, I get the following response:

"This site can’t be reached The webpage at https://lemmy.world/comment/97159 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE"

Dev tools shows response code: 400 (from service worker) for this request.

I don't see this behavior on every single comment link, but it shows up for a lot of them, seemingly randomly.

I see it across different browsers and normal vs. incognito mode.

Any clues on what's broken?
