Who tf is upvoting this? It’s highly unlikely this person has the acreage, time, equipment, and knowledge to grow all their own food.

Even if they did, it’s not a real solution to the vast majority of people.

Or a bidet

I think it’s a cautionary tale against forcing women to have kids.

We need access to birth control, healthcare (including abortion), sex education, and quality education.

These horrible things cannot be hidden, just like war images shouldn’t be hidden. This is reality and we can’t turn a blind eye. We have to address real shit that happens in the real world to learn from it and get better. Or at least face the reality of the things we force people into.

Grocery shopping and food prep is always an option. Cheaper and healthier too.

If you have time to browse Lemmy, you got time to throw some shit in an air fryer/insta pot/slow cooker.

Jesus, it’s like they want you to order online from a third party instead of paying them.

The argument I keep seeing against fast food being too expensive is “use the app! It’s cheaper”. Fuck that. I bought frozen junk food and an air fryer. McDonald’s can keep their 15$ meals*

*Disclaimer that I don’t actually know how much a meal is these days, but I know it’s gone way up. Also, I do still buy from McD when I need to shit out a hangover. Sue me.

Dunno why you’re getting downvoted, you’re 100% correct.

Most people aren’t on social media talking politics or thinking about any of this outside what they might overhear at church, from family/friends, on TV, shared on Facebook.

“No bad mugshots,” Dedmon added in another text. The other deputies understood what he meant: They had the green light to use “excessive force” on areas of a person’s body that would not be captured in a mugshot, prosecutors said.

I agree with the person I’m responding to. It’s worse than you think, go read the article

How is this upvoted? Didn’t the US go in there, destabilize everything, then just pull out, leaving a power void for the Taliban to waltz in and seize?

What if we were finally able to get insurance companies out of healthcare in the US? Thousands would lose their jobs, but millions would suddenly be able to get care. So much money would be saved, but so many people would suddenly be out of work.

I don’t know about you, but I hate paying several hundred dollars a month (and 100s or 1000s if I actually get care) to prop up a whole ass middleman between me and my care.

Anyway, my point is we can’t keep old systems only for the sake of preserving jobs. The guy you’re replying to is short sighted and relying too heavily on a language imitation program, but he’s essentially right about not keeping jobs just because.

Value in tradition? What traditions are these people valuing?

Yes? If you choose to be a homophobic racist sexist asshole, you should be discriminated against.

Sexual orientation, gender, sex, skin color are all things you don’t choose, you’re just born that way.

I fucking hope so? Tf else do these exist

If I had time enough to ponder my injuries after being stabbed, the thought “at least I wasn’t shot” would absolutely cross my mind. But maybe that’s just an American thing

At least he had access to a weapon that could kill someone in an instance.

I think it’s relevant to note that someone mentally unwell enough to kill another person (especially their own spouse) was able to hoard such a large amount of weapons.

I guess the rest of us are just lucky that he only wanted to kill one person, instead of several.

It’s not actually for little kids. I’d def recommend watching before bringing your little

I hope so. Can they hate on people for something they chose for once? Damn

When we got on the wait-list for Starlink I thought he was a cool innovator type.

Luckily we’ve had the Starlink for a couple years now and I typically forget that his embarrassing ass has anything to do with it!

Glad we got it back then, I’d probably write it off now and not trust it/him enough to spend the money (it was a decent investment for equipment).

I do SEO as my day job.

I’ve only ever done white hat, and it’s all about content relevance to user intent, creating a site that loads quickly and functions in an intuitive way, and is coded so that search engines can easily understand the site.

Of course the goal is almost always to get you to buy something, but all it really is is best practices for online publishing.
