@masukomi don't forget how we allow them to pay themselves better reimbursement rates (because they're both the pharmacy and the pharmacy benefit provider!) than independent pharmacies, thus building/enforcing their own monopoly-level dominance!

Ooh, Signal has usernames these days? How did I miss that?

@matt5sean3 if that were the case I'd at least expect them to sell me scalped tickets!

(Sadly I am serious about wanting to do my part, and equally serious about not knowing where to start / how to actually organize. 😞 )

I went on Ticketmaster and they don't have anything available for the upcoming revolution yet. Are we selling tickets somewhere else? How do I join?

I specifically gave the positive example of Jesse Watters' mom, who clearly didn't cut her son off. But he's not invited to Thanksgiving. She's not playing the "Just don't talk politics!" game that so many people play at Thanksgiving, so that they don't have to reckon with who's a hateful bigot.

I'm also pretty sure that Jesse Watters' mom isn't making excuses for her son, or cursing out Black men online like I got cursed out on this website before the election.

After an unprecedented Election Week ULP strike, we returned to work today and have called off the NYT Games and Cooking boycotts.

That's a first, just saw a truck towing a near full size replica of the Iwo Jima memorial. Unclear if it was being delivered or just... Driving around for Veterans' Day.

@skinnylatte sounds like as amazing of a workplace as it is a place to visit!

@skinnylatte what's it used for? Can fish get themselves in trouble by swimming too deep or something? I have so many fascinated questions!

@thegibson don't do it, it's a trap!

@bob sure, do you want to DM (here or elsewhere) and I can give you the lowdown on what I have working? Can't guarantee anything but happy to try.

@bob yeah I've "always" had it working, routing through Gmail (workspace) with an IP allow-list.

For you geeks: it wasn't DNS. It was SMTP. If it's not DNS, it's always SMTP.

Well technically it wasn't really SMTP either, it was Mastodon's implementation of SMTP, poor documentation, and undocumented features changing behavior between versions.

Howdy #UnionPlace (and prospective Union Placers)!

I just discovered that email confirmations haven't been going out since we upgraded to Mastodon 4.3 a couple of weeks ago. The issue has been fixed and stuck confirmation mails are going out now, but if you recently signed up or tried to login and couldn't get email, please try again or let me know and I can resend as appropriate.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

@oneunderscore__ maybe you should be one who deactivates instead of watching

@skinnylatte kale is evil!

But whales are great! :)

@adhdeanasl whereas I'm a fat old white guy who's disappointed he might have to play civil war.

@StefanThinks (and I hope this doesn't come out terrible and I'm sorry if it does but I felt it deserved acknolwedgment and you deserved appreciation for your take)

@StefanThinks ugh that is such a terrible take.

Thank you for calling this out; internally I've found myself wondering "how could Latinos vote this way?" and I now realize I'm still not being fair.

I tell myself I expect white (men|women) to be idiots/racists/etc but I assume better of the people of color when saying I don't understand, but really, I just ... don't understand.

But ultimately it's very importantly NOT THEIR FAULT. It's much more us white people's fault, you're totally right.
