And Lemmy is like… we’re just happy you’re here and posting. Stick around for a while.
Oh Onion, why you gotta be so on point all the time.
At press time, Sikora warned that if the United States failed to act now, it would have no plausible deniability for the death and destruction that record-breaking storms, heat, floods, and drought will inevitably bring.
Reminder that just because you don’t have children, doesn’t mean you have to achieve a certain level of career or academia. You’re still valid. I’m still valid…
But… we’re talking French and Adam and Eve was written in Hebrew. Is it the same for Hebrew?
This interpretation gives him a lot of credit for thinking things through and caring about contracts.
Disappointing
Ehh. I hear you, and definitely.
But another reason to use to term unhoused is to point to the solution, we need more affordable houses. I work in government and I don’t mind the shift, helps frame the problem a bit better and makes it more of a society problem (something we as a government could do something about) vs an individual problem. Build houses. We can do that as government/society. We could provide housing to vulnerable populations in ways that work for them.
For those like me who wondered “why”… $1000 a pop.
The agents searched her heavy duffle bag and found 29 live eastern box turtles individually wrapped in socks, the affidavit states. Eastern box turtles are known to be sold on the Chinese black market for $1,000 each, the affidavit stated.
It sounds like the combination of the Persian folklore and the rise of animation having to depict internal struggles is what miniaturized them and put them on shoulders. Is that right?
How are people dealing with senior pets when they live alone?
I have a wonderful senior dog and he’s my best friend. And I’m so scared of his aging. As he’s slowing down and I keep an eye out for medical issues I just can’t imagine how and when to make a call about his life.
I work all day away from home and live by myself, which was not the situation when I’d adopted him initially. I don’t have a community or friends or family around to help during the day if and when it comes to that. I can’t afford dog sitters especially not ones with training.
What if he could be fine with more support and money, should I give him back to animal rescue?
Are there any Canadian news and current events comedy options?
I watch a lot of late night shows and British current events shows (have I got news for you, the bugle podcast). Really wish there was something equivalent for Canada. I know there was “this hour has 22 minutes” and Rick Mercer but I don’t think they’re around any more.
Any other Canadian comedic current events options?
I doubt future generations will have “basement dwellers” because none of us can afford to own basements.
“Basement dwellers” implies parents with multi level houses. I feel like the kid living with their parents for a long time will become more of a thing but they’ll be lucky to have the privacy and space of a whole basement.
And so I say, basement dwellers? In this economy?
In depth debate about Gnosticism
I am not an atheist, I genuinely believe that God exists and he is evil, like a toddler who fries little ants with a lens.
I enjoyed the exchange of ideas here and the way things were described and debated. Made me happy to be on Lemmy.
What the process for people getting their driving licenses where you live?
Saw this comment from someone in Germany, 3000-4000 euros and very intensive process. https://feddit.de/comment/7204601
YSK about the different “ways of knowing”
On these types of forums it’s easy to jump into an argument about the technicalities or a post or comment.
You should know, though, that there is a theory called Ways of Knowing which defines Separate Knowing and Connected Knowing. It’s been a part of my masters program I’m taking.
Separate knowing disconnects the humanity and context from what’s being said and tries to only argue the “facts”. But facts, and the things people say, don’t just occur in a vacuum. It often is the case when people are arguing past each other, like on the internet.
Connected Knowing is approaching the thing someone said with the understanding that there is a context, humanity, biases, different experiences, and human error that can all jumble up when people are sharing information.
Maybe even just knowing that there’s different ways to know would be helpful for us to engage in a different level of conversation here. I’m not sure. I just wanted to share!

Christofascist should be an oxymoron.
I swear I’d not seen the term “christofascism” until this year. It’s an apt term for all the talk about the new speaker of the house, rolling back of Roe v Wade, banning books and increased persecution of LGBT+ rights…
But if I was Christ I’d be pretty darn upset right now. I talk about love and tolerance and peace and you’re going to use my name to make shitty, power grabbing, political, oppressive moves? The fuckin audacity. I’d be flipping tables and calling out the hypocrites.
I know it’s a conversation as old as time. I also don’t believe Christian’s should be able to point at it and say “yeh but that’s not MY Jesus.” Doesn’t fucking matter, they’re identifying as a You so if You don’t do something about it then it’s as good as doin it yourself.
Sigh.
How do you like to sort your Lemmy feed?
Hot seems meh. I usually go for Top: Day but then I run out. Recently tried most active by comments and liked it.
How y’all sorting your feeds?
How do poor people in the states give birth without money?
I’m Canadian. And I’m already sorry for asking an ignorant question.
I know you have to pay for hospital visits in the states. I know lower economic status can come with lower access to birth control and sex education. But then, how do they afford to give birth? Do people ever avoid hospital visits because they don’t feel like they can’t afford it?
Do hospitals put people on a payment plan? Is it possible to give birth and not pay if you don’t have the means? How does it work in the states?
How does it all work?
Again. Canadian. And sorry.
My work intranet said the IT manager’s office is in room 404. I went to find him but it’s some other random persons office.
I thought it was an intentional joke but he didn’t seem to think it was funny, even when I explained the “404: Office Not Found”.
I still think it’s objectively funny.
What do you like about the vehicle you drive and would you have changed anythin about it?
Realized that with my new job I’m at $500/month for gas. Starting to seriously consider a hybrid or electric but damn they expensive. Either way might just need something more reliable than my 320k+ car.
Whatchya driving, do you like it, and why?
What happened to online computer games?
In like, 2005-2010ish I remember there being these awesome online games through sites like Mini Clip. All disappeared from the internet.
I understood it had something to do with Java? Or… some plug in? I don’t really understand what either of those mean.
