So up front, I’m not a native Spanish speaker, but I would imagine it’s the male and female versions of the word saint. Which is why you get San Sebastion and Santa Maria.

I hate how accurate this is.

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but if you aren’t from the US you probably don’t understand. We don’t generally have the same protections workers in other countries have. There’s no guaranteed sick days or PTO. Healthcare is usually tied to - or at least heavily subsidized by - your employment. Education has been defunded for decades. Housing costs are so high and minimum wages so low that many struggle to afford rent, let alone get onto the property ownership ladder.

On the contrary, entertainment is relatively cheap and plentiful. Even those in poverty are generally able to escape their woes temporarily with the TV or online. The system is designed to keep people helpless and complacent, and it’s been working beautifully from the perspective of the ruling class.

What this all results in is people with jobs that barely pay enough to afford to meet their basic needs, and can’t go without work because they can’t afford the risk of no healthcare or income, and aren’t inclined or educated enough to better their situations.

Back in 2016, if not before.

The headline is technically correct. The best worst kind of correct.

They should check the Oval Office. There’s plenty to be found there.

Thanks for the correction. And now that you mention it, Interview was set in New Orleans and not Miami, right?

If I’m not mistaken, this is the opening to Interview with the Vampire, which was turned into a movie with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.

The name Lestat was also used in the film Queen of the Damned for the main vampire protagonist IIRC.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

I’m not LGBT myself, but it sounds like lemmy.blahaj.zone should have what you’re looking for.

Never heard of that. It’s not exactly a difficult joke to make and I’m sure I’m not the only one to ever come up with it.

I’d honestly be more surprised if he didn’t try something along those lines.

I always used to say that Gates named the company after his dick.

They are actually, and it’s pretty fucking sad.

That’s only for hourly workers. Salaried employees get the opposite.

Fair enough. I was just trying to work in a double-entendre.

Looks like Wednesday came a little early this week.

For an administration that hates preferred names, they sure do love renaming shit. Gulf of America, Department of War, Trump Kennedy Center, etc.

Why would they even need to know? You can save it in .docx if you need to share it with someone.
