New is generous, a lot of these were employees that had worked for the federal government for years that recently took promotions. Those promotions were “new” appointments even though they’ve worked for years.

Plus the admin is planning Reductions in Force so many of these workers will unfortunately be fired again.

Well boys see you on the front lines when we get shipped to Canada.

I think we know why and it’s not good

Keep the po and the ta

Just toes for me thanks

Mexico is really cashing in on the US’s failures

Luckily the common parliamentary system does seem more effective at slowing them down

Truly the majority don’t even realize they’re racist. They adamantly believe they’re not. They focus their hate on “illegals”, “thugs”, “welfare queens”, etc. When confronted by the fact that these are racist dog whistles they tend to get mad that you’d dare bring race into this and you’re the racist. They seem to actually believe that their beliefs transcend race.

It’s up to you to decide if you believe they are generally ignorant or wearing a mask. I tend to believe these people are ignorant based on my personal experiences. These people will have non-white “friends” (usually just acquaintances) or even have non-white family members that they do care for. But at the same time they’ll celebrate the death of a minority because they were a “thug” that deserved it. The cognitive disodence is amazing.

Truthfully we’ll see if these ignorant people are the majority or not shortly. The current administration is emboldening the racists so it’s only a matter of time before more go “mask off”

Congrats to the EU. With the destabilization of one of it’s largest allies it seems the most of the continent is uniting to make up the difference. Seems like Europe as a whole will dominate the next few decades

I think what truly did it in was having a black president. The casual racists got so mad that a black man was president they became hellbent on destroying the country.

It’s quite sad.

Yep the learning curve from logging in to finding communities took about 45 minutes or so for me.

I can see that being a turn off for many users

Greasing the wheels of oppression with an identified “other” group before turning it against the rest of the American populace

Once I read the caption I can only see the bag of popcorn now. The effect is gone

I don’t know, are we sure the Tesla didn’t spontaneously combust? They’re known to do that. Wouldn’t want a manufacturing error pinned on an innocent person…

It will take the world a while to move away from the US. It’s built itself as a relatively trusted, albeit flawed, nation to all the major western powers.

It’s sad to see the destruction of my country’s reputation, sadder to see 50% of the population take pride in it. I’d leave if I could

I didn’t say it was magic. Part of the issue is we don’t know what modifications he made in making his artificial version. I won’t pretend like there aren’t a lot of unknowns there. It could alter the effectiveness in numerous ways.

Having a heterozygous deletion is still effecting the right gene. Without knowing both of her parents genetics it’s hard to say if it was natural. What he did could produce either a heterozygous or homozygous result on the gene, but only the homozygous presentation is effective at prevention.

So 1 was a full success and the other showed activation on the appropriate gene, but not enough to confer resistance. Although it is possible it does since he used an artificial gene. We know the natural one is not effective in a heterozygous presentation. I still think that was his greatest mistake. He should have just used the naturally effective gene.

You do make a good point with the full backing rigor of the scientific method this procedure would always be successful.

So far I’m liking lemmy more because there is a lot less per post. I find I’m enjoying each thread more fully. It’s like I’m not endless scrolling because I can’t. I’ve actually read more articles in the day since I’ve joined than in my last 3 months on reddit.
