Why would you wonder?
They’ve been complaining for like a decade at least. I think the big one they started was a Wolfenstein from 2014? But I’m sure it was happening on a smaller scale much earlier.
Hell, even during WW2 lots of capitalism and Republicans openly argued for staying out of the war or even joining the actual Nazis.
Spray tan and/or makeup
Without it he looks like a ghost, for rallys and TV appareances he gets a touchup right before, but candids you can see what it looks like without in the edges.
It’s not that it looks good, it’s that without it he’d look a hell of a lot worse.
Yeah. I was just making up numbers for illustrative purposes.
As much as people shit on the VA, they’ve been my healthcare provider for over a decade and I just legitimately don’t know what numbers look like anymore.
It’s not perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than the majority have to deal with
Yep, and it’s not like it’s just cheaper, benefits packages are tied into compensation.
Say you pay $400, insurance says the real price is $800, and your employer only pays another $200 as a “discount” but the real cost is actually $600. But turn down coverage, you don’t get that $200 in extra pay.
Without an employer, you have to pay the whole $800.
With a co-op you’d pay the actual real cost of $600.
It needs a critical mass of people.
And OP doesn’t understand a non profit still has a CEO that can be paid millions. The organization can’t make a profit, but lots of corrupt people make a lot of money running non profits.
It’s not like the guys dead, or old.
He’s 26, and they’ll almost definitely say it’s terrorism linked, so 20 to life in NY.
He could be out before he’s 50 even if he loses.
Guy is from a very wealthy family and has access to the best lawyers. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s bailed out even. It’s a thing in NY for murder charges, and sometimes there’s not even bail, you get out but up $0, even for murder.
This guy wasn’t a mass shooter, he walked right past witnesses, but most importantly rich as fuck.
We’ll know what’s in it, because he can just tell us even if the cops keep it.
Pick a hobby, literally anything.
Our brains want us to be productive, so it’s likes doing something and seeing a result. Even the most inconsequential thing will stop your brain from freaking out.
If you also feel like you need more social interaction, a good hobby would be online videogames. Play something with voice chat and just be super helpful. Teammates want to do something stupid? Back em 100% and they’ll be appreciative.
You went off on dating too, but it’s 2024. Throw up an online profile here and there, but dont make it your priority like you can fix everything else by getting a partner. Fix the other stuff to make yourself a better person, and just make yourself available.
Don’t try to fix everything with your life at once. You can (and should) work on multiple things, but pick one thing to focus, knock it down, and make a new priority. Basically don’t try to fix your life, it’s a giant task for anyone. Pick easy attainable goals that will improve your life, and knock them out one at a time to feel like.peogress is being made.
I thought Modi’s policies were generally bad for the populace at large
But it gets worse the further down the ladder you go.
trump will be bad for his white voters, but he’ll treat the people they view as below them even worse
Some people compare themselves to others to judge their worth, so they’ll settle for less if others get nothing.
But somehow Modi has a high approval rating,
Because 50%+ of India that votes benefits from it…
I think we’re just using different definitions of “hold things together”
From what I’ve heard about Modi it’s pretty much the opposite…
It’s not a unified system where everyone gets along, it’s a rigid caste system (I think technically outlawed but not enforced) where people with power are ok with it because they’re not on the bottom, and the people on the bottom don’t have enough power to change anything.
There’s a reasons Modi’s friends are trump, putin, and kim.
Pretty much any ex British colony is heavily biased against darker skin tones, America, India, Israel, it happened to pretty much all of them
For India specifically it’s more a continent than a country. There’s a bunch of different ethnic groups lumped together, and for most of its history it was never unified. Then the Brits decided they’re all Indian and combined them because that makes corruption easier.
Your account is an hour old and Lemmy doesn’t have Karma…
So did you make a post complaining about Reddit and just forget youre not on Reddit?
You think they’re the only ones with lead poisoning?!
You could be born today and still quickly accumulate enough lead to cause effects, especially living in a city because plants can soak up lead too. If it’s all concrete, that lead just keeps moving around till something alive picks it up.
Because you’re assuming everyone thinks the same, so what would convince you would convince anyone else.
That isn’t true.
That makes FEMA bad and ICE good in their hate filled minds
Humans are animals…
We need socialized at a young age so our ingroup/outgroup doesn’t form along racial lines.
If it does, it can be overcome with logic, but that takes constant effort, and as we age our minds go on “autopilot” more day to day, which is why old people who grew up pre-civil rights movement “become” racist as they age. Or after drinking or sleeping aids.
For them it’s a conscious effort to remember “they” are really “us”.
This isn’t my opinion or something I’m guessing at, it’s actual psychology.
Like, people laugh at Alabama being so backwards for banning Sesame Street when it became racially inclusive, and they get called paranoid for calling it “brainwashing” but even just seeing people of different ethnicities on TV is enough to blur the line for their entire lives. Banning it helped prolong the next generations forming their in/out groups along racial lines.
I swear to God only the fascist option paying attention to science is the most maddening part of this.
Their voters are idiots, their politicians are idiots, but the people calling the shots aren’t idiots.
If you’re reducing them to “hate filled minds” then history will keep fucking repeating like it always does.
And it’s fucking getting old to have fascists keep showing up.
So I stead of imitating them and dehumanizing them, how about we do something with a snowballs chance in hell of working?
Although I’m sure there was some genetic adaptation
It wasn’t so much spontaneous adaption…
There’s more genetic diversity inside of Africa than outside of it combined.
Very very few mutations have occured outside of Africa. Blue eyes is one of the few examples, but that was a perfect storm of something just breaking (what made pigment in the eye), allowing for greater nonverbal communication (pupil dilation became more obvious), and being very very obvious no matter how much clothes you were bundled up with.
It’s just Africa is so fucking diverse, that it’s rare for populations to become truly isolated and for the same certain recessive genes to become the most popular variation within a fixed population. It’s mostly just things like sickle cell that provides a benefit against a common cause of death even when recessive and only one copy is present. It’s been a minute, but I think when one copy is the most beneficial is the fastest way to get rid of the dominant for some reason I can’t recall.
So I wasn’t talking about tribes mutating on the march North.
I meant the people who would expand north were more likely to have the recessive traits, mate with others, and consolidate them.
Besides, neanderthals had better tech then we did. The advantage was our faster reproduction cycle which allowed not just for greater numbers, but faster concentration of beneficial recessive traits to suit changing environments.
So like…
We have a real example that tech was second place to biology. This ain’t a hypothetical. You’re right tech played a part, just a smaller part.
Yep.
And it’s not like someone went from Africa to Greenland on a walkabout.
It took generations for that kind of migration, some people decided they went far enough and stopped. But at every stop, the ones who could handle colder would expand North/South where there’s less competition.
They were repeatedly being selected for the people who could handle a slightly colder environment, so by the time the population reached the polar regions, all that was left was people with traits to handle the cold. Any remotely beneficial recessive gene would quickly replace dominant alleles in the population.
People think of evolution as spontaneous mutations, but really it’s just the concentration of recessive genes that have been around basically forever
Probably something with federation running behind.
Like, you’re instance A, one of those accounts is on instance B, and the ones you can’t see are from instance C.
So A has an issue with C, but B doesn’t.
So A (you) can see comments from A and B. But B can see comments from A,B, and C.
A doesn’t see the C’s, but knows B has replied.
It’s also possible your app is the issue if not using web client.
Drake is suing Kendrick and a label (UMG) that he’s worked with is friends with a board member, and parties with his kid…
Not because of all the accusations in the songs.
But because he can’t believe the song was really that popular and he’s saying they pumped it’s numbers just to hurt Drake personally.
Pretty sure the song went back in the top 20, maybe top 10.
Despite Kendrick just dropped an entire album, but this made people pause that and go back to Not Like Us.
This is about to be more embarrassing than Scott’s Tots.
Everything with “middle men” is like that.
Numbers get inflated then discounted.
It’s why it’s present at every step of capitalism, at every step someone takes a cut, so the price is inflated, then “discounted” to what consumers are willing to pay which is still an insane profit margin.
