Them:" I saw someone once who spoke a different language than me once. What is that if not GLOBALISM?"

Depends on which pope you are talking about. One of them got allied planes in his sights to get shot down.

I have selected premium several times and then the tank stopped filling 30¢ early and my receipt said regular despite selecting premium when filling up my moped. I think the machines try to account for the gas type difference sometimes or maybe the pumps I was using were a bit dodgy.

If the US gets poor enough can a fast food combo cost less than an hour of working an assembly line?

Or if China sells a product at half the cost or less of getting it elsewhere

So many gun laws exist today because Black Panthers doing cop watch. Basically they were across the street from police watching them during traffic stops with their guns out and it lead to a lot less people getting killed or mistreated during traffic stops. That’s kind of a simplified history of it.

In my area police made some policies that lasted for more than a decade about not patrolling a certain area and then needing to respond with a shitton of officers if there’s more than 2 people involved in a “potentially volatile situation” due to a bunch of people shaking a cop car and telling them to f off 20 years ago.

So blasting all quasi legal unmarked cops/ice isn’t realistic or necessarily what most 2A people advocate there’s plenty of history and merit in letting them know that people can potentially fight back, probably easier than you think to scare them considering a lot of the modern training is fear based

I think that should count the same

I always thought it was a major fuck you to veterans that the big state funded fireworks display where I live is launched like 10 feet from the veterans hospital where they have people living there and being treated for PTSD.

Also I worked second shift so driving home through low visibility “fog” a few hours after everyone stops shooting them off feels eerie when you live in a city that doesn’t get fog. That’s probably not good for breathing, but I don’t really know about just kind of being anecdotal

It’s still deflective. Saying someone else called these events a war crime is distancing their news agency from calling it that even as they spell out details of an event that’s a war crime

So the premise is supposed to be “don’t use phone” is supposed to magically turn into “healthy relationship with technology”? Yeah that doesn’t make sense on a fundamental level.

Try applying that logic elsewhere. Having an rocky relationship with your spouse? Just stop talking to them and it will be fixed. Genius solutions, or perhaps it’s not anything more than an excuse to control teens painted as something else

You can tell it’s gay because it’s not his aunt’s house it’s his aunts house meaning his aunt and her wife which also makes that his other aunt.

Maybe whales know something we don’t. They have land ancestry, so they started as something in the ocean came out for a bit and decided to go back

Flex is more to show off. You can show off without bragging about it, although everyone who runs marathons seems to brag…

This actually works incredibly poorly or very well depending on your opinion if you just applied it to random problems in the US that are like micro issues.

Toilet clogged? Reagan’s fault

Ah the old Arbeit macht frei point… ok

Science is also for artificers.

Also people aren’t necessarily able to monetize their interest in science. Maybe if there were no barriers like people needing to pay for education, food, shelter, transportation, medical care, and the air they breathe then maybe a larger portion of those people would be the mage they want to be or at least closer to it. As it stands you are right, but things can be different than they are right now

“They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them”

I don’t recommend them at all, conservative shitholes I mean unless maybe you are very well off and have passive income. Living in a place where people are basically ready to freak out over someone saying good morning as they pass and all the weird hate and suspicion towards everyone around them isn’t healthy. It’s like a culture built around having an enemy freaks out when there’s no immediate external one and looks for enemies within.

Maybe it’ll be gay people maybe it won’t necessarily be that bad for them, hate culture is fickle and not based around logic, sometimes it’s something of a comfort blanket for some people. Some people respond to be controlling and and others that claim to be in power and project control. People who grow up under “My house, my rules” type of homes grow up and vote for people who project that aura.

Yeah other comments have a point that you can run into assholes anywhere, but politics most definitely shape communities no matter how much people say they don’t. Redlining shaped entire communities for over half a century, to pretend a neighborhood built around being held down because it’s primarily an out group is suddenly going to have a drastically different way of life after some policies stopped is moronic. That’s only one thing that causes a culture built around stratification, there’s plenty of problems. Sometimes the damage is already done and actual policies need to be done to reverse it or else people are just stuck. Some policies are hard to really get into detail and convey just exactly how damaging they are especially to people who were never even taught those policies exist to begin with.

I know that this isn’t exactly what you were getting into, I guess I just wanted to dig a bit further into my points seeing as how people are still interested days later. Getting into the politics of it requires some knowledge of history. Basically political landscapes shape culture for better or worse

I feel that. Tried getting into my niche interests and hobbies, but they are dead on Lemmy. I think being cognizant of problems in the world isn’t a bad thing, but sometimes you don’t want news and I wish the spaces on Lemmy for other stuff weren’t so dead

Compare LA to Phoenix AZ and you go from the description of all the things the green text says are aren’t true to them being reality. 4 Chan is probably filled with people from conservative shitholes hating life because they live in a conservative shithole
