they sound like a better person than i.

i left reddit because i couldn’t stomach the absurdity and now my stomach hurts from seeing yet another rally cry for defederation on lemmy.world and i find myself wishing that they would.

but there are so many of them that can easily drown out any voice

The worst part was that I was already paranoid about literally this exact thing happening.

same here except i accidentally smeared roach guts on my bare chest while scratching the itch that disturbed my sleep.

i’m starting to think that’s what biden wants; alienating all progressives

i take it to mean that the definition depends on how you've learned about it.

a real world example is world war 2: if you're an american it started in 1941; meanwhile if you're chinese, it started in 1931; and if you're swiss or scandinavian it lasted until the 1950's

even in the same country it can be different, another real world example is the mexican rebellion of the early 20th century. if you're a religious/social conservative it went from 1921 to 1933; if you're not, it went from 1921 to 1923 and then there several followup wars like the cristero rebellion that lasted until 1933

conflicts don't cleanly start and end; they windup and then winddown slowly and it's up to you to define where the start and end are; and since we're all have different definitions, others will have different dates.

it's not a theory, it's fact: the smell is rotting flesh (and dairy for most) and animals on earth rely on it to know if something is nearby them.

If it makes you feel any better: I got to experience number 1, 2 and 3 of the "best" passenger train systems in this country and it's crystal clear that each city's elected officials would gleefully destroy the trains like Los Angeles did, if weren't so politically toxic to suggest it now:

NYC's is BEARLY passable as a primary means of transportation (unless you're in Manhattan) and it gets exponentially worse the further from the city center you are located. Chicago is number two on that list and is so unreliable past 9pm that you either have depend on uber or a bus (buses are just as bad after 9pm) and number 3 is so disappointing that I won't acknowledge it by name because it literally shutsdown a majority of its tracks after 8pm forcing everything through such a circuitous paths that it turned my 12 minute drive into a 2.5 hour long exercise in patience and it completely stops before 10pm; before 7pm on the weekends.

The streets were empty back from 2007 to 2019 and it was pretty clear the whole time that it wasn't sustainable, but back then the bars and clubs were blamed

in addition to what others have said: this is also a classic symptom of territorial insecurity so maybe there’s a stray cat spraying the outsides of the walls of your home.

I’d be really curious to see material addressing contagious diseases and prevention specifically for promiscuous people, I wonder how it would differ from information addressed to a general audience.

i’ve learned from reddit and the knowledge i’ve gain feels less delusional and much more grounded in reality than anything a doctor has ever told me; try using a condom in a sex club (bathhouses not so much) and you’ll end up learning how to enjoy your own company and block out being surrounding by men very enthusiastically enjoying their time with each other. lol

i came here to say something similar: reddit is the only place that has more than basic information on something like this and i wish there was a way that i didn’ t have to recommend reddit.

thus giving abbott the political boost that he wanted from his base while simultaneous giving him the ability to say that he never really wanted the law but executed the will of the people in one fell swoop; abbott is smarter than he looks.

i was a huge couch potato addicted to all the trek content i could find and i somehow missed this; thanks for the nostalgia and the icing on the cake is that i had the same remote control during the same period.

Try not to judge the city based on a single incident by a scared white man.

a scared white man; plus hundreds to thousands of people in an entire organization of people tasked with safety of the public protecting that white man; plus the hundreds to thousands of people in a judicial system that can openly sweep it under the run to protect that white man; plus the hundreds of thousands to millions of people that make up the plebiscite that doesn’t give a rat’s ass about it effectively protecting that white man.

yes, it happens anywhere else in the world too and the only indictment that matter is if any of philadelphia’s organizations with clout doesn’t at lest try to do something about it; lip service and/or promises don’t count, that shit just for the dumbasses and texans who accept eating shit like democrats do and why i moved away.

i was considering moving to philadelphia and now i’m glad i didn’t and i understand that the corrupt police and courts are everywhere; i’m just glad i got to dodge this one bullet out of many.

tldr:

the left needs to convince voters that it can provide adequate protection against social, fiscal and environmental “dumping” – if necessary through unilateral action.

things will not change and there nothing i can do about the student load debt situation that i created. - Biden

and then immediately the article gives you a good reason to discount it:

Our findings do give cause for optimism: indeed, the lack of public services in rural areas, deindustrialisation, unequal access to property and widening inequality are all issues that can be addressed by implementing adequate policies. Identity politics, on the other hand, tends only to lead to increased tensions and conflict within society.

dog whistle translation: the white centered majority politics is the only viable politics; anything else is problematic.

i would expect the biden administration to act in secret to break up these strikes since doing so hurt them so bad politically during the railroad strike and now i wonder if we will ever learn about that they are/will-be doing.

The meso American version of this is so fascinating because they built so many civilization supporting infrastructures and then seemingly forgot or just stopped how to using them leading to a collapse several times over.

I want to believe that religion or politics prevented them from enduring to the present day as they were at their height and that we’ll meet the same fate for the same reasons.
