Most firefighters in the U.S. are volunteer, and make no money at all. Being paid per call is not the norm.

Volunteer firefighters are unpaid. That is what volunteer means in this context. They make $0.

There are some places where they get tossed a few bucks per call, but most of them don’t make a cent.

I don’t think there’s a whole lot going on right now and I don’t think we’ll have another great decade of cartoons unfortunately.

Adventures Time and the new Avatar show are just continuations of shows spawned in the 2000’s. I can almost guarantee that the new Avatar show will not be good. Steven Universe another existing IP. Lowe Decks is great but has been cancelled.

Even if you counted all of these cartoons as new, fresh, and greats, they pale in comparison to that 98-2010 run with literally dozens of new and iconic shows. Kinda seems like the era of cartoons is coming to a close. With these last vestiges just milking what nostalgia there is left.

It was also the period of time where Cartoon Network started making new TV shows instead of just airing Hannah Barbera reruns. This led to what was essentially a third golden age for children’s cartoons, and subsequently spawned Adult Swim and Toonami.

We haven’t had anything like that since and due to the downfall of network TV likely never will again.

This is a difficult question to answer in a generic sense because right now there are a lot of external factors that are progressively making people unhappier and it’s not really to do with age.

They ship with zsh

The president largely doesn’t have too much power. Problem is the other two branches of government conceding theirs.

Only if that country doesn’t have info sharing treaties with the US. So much of Europe isn’t any safer than in the US.

Reddit is headquartered in San Francisco

That is what I said

I am no fan of reddit but in this case Reddit appears to have championed this users anonymity going so far as to actively draw the ire of the administration.

• Reddit refused to comply with the initial administrative subpoena
• the Federal government came back with this grand jury subpoena and warned Reddit not to disclose the existence of the subpoena or they’d consider it interference in federal law enforcement
• Reddit complied with this new legally binding subpoena, but did not comply with the demand to keep it a secret. In the contrary, they immediately alerted the user of the subpoena which allowed him time to immediately lawyer up.

You’re not wrong that you’re not safe posting on Reddit, but if this case is any indication you’re not any less safe posting in Reddit than any other site, including Lemmy.

Signing it verifies that the software was made by company that it says it was. It’s a method to avoid installing fake or malicious software.

It is on its face a good thing, with the major caveat being who is in charge of who gets to sign what.

You think the guys who don’t get paid at all are paid pretty damn well? I don’t follow.

And yet there are still people who those strings completely for free.

For sure. Most people likely would, but not as much.

The United States

She was a Sunday school teacher so it’s possible that’s where he got this one

For geographical purposes he’s still wrong. If you’re Canadian you were taught the 7-continent model in school growing up. There is no “American” continent.

That fella is using a primitive and culturally reductive unified America continent model which does not apply to the people who live here.

You just heard it from a Canadian, but also the US has not appropriated the name of entire continents for itself. The continent it shares with Canada and Mexico is “North America” and “North American” still applies to people from those countries. The US hasn’t taken anything away from anyone else in this naming scheme, and nobody who actually lives here will get confused by these terms and who they apply to.

The “critique” is a non-issue pushed mainly by uppity Europeans that nobody in this side of the pond cares about at all.
