You’d think people who want to live forever would care more about the environment. But I guess the worst consequences they’ll face is a shorter ski season.

Standard furniture kink, just in water? Sounds like fun. I’m curious about buoyancy though.

Etcetera knows what it did. 😤

I support gay rights but I LOVE gay wrongs.

Throughout history, a terrible number of people have died because some zealot thought they were doing the right thing.

If a police officer “knows” someone is guilty, what do you think about breaking the rules to ensure they are punished?

She drinks wine while playing with her niece. He steals from cancer patients. It all evens out. /s

Most restaurants keep reservations in a $2.75 spiral notebook.

I doubt an online reservation calendar would be $10k for a single restaurant, but still…the only profit is marginal: the people who eat there who would have without the online calendar, and I doubt it would recoup the costs in a quarter or two. Especially considering that the wealth gap and tech gap mean that the number of people who want to schedule online is inversely related to the people who can afford to eat out a lot.

When I said “more data than is publicly available now”, did you think I was referring to a title on Lemmy?

The article includes someone they refer to as a “whistleblower”. The analogy with ACORN would be noted liar Jacob Wohl.

The article also includes a statement from FEMA Agency head, Deanne Criswell. I was talking about her when I said “idiot Democrats who fired the accused without even the slightest inquiry”.

On second thought, I’m not sure she’s a Democrat. I assume she was appointed by Biden. But the article does not indicate any sort of inquiry or have a statement from the manager involved.

Are you under the impression that only NC Republicans hate FEMA? This conspiracy theory is decades old. I suspect you are referring to Helene because you are ignorant of the long standing antipathy between Republicans and FEMA.

If you have any reason to believe Republicans aren’t threatening FEMA workers after Milton, feel free to share it. Otherwise, maybe wait for an investigation before jumping to conclusions.

No, you should not have any “takeaway” without way more information than is publicly available now. This is the same thing that happened with ACORN: Republicans made a bunch of false accusations and idiot Democrats were way too fast about accepting their premise and firing the accused without even the slightest inquiry into what actually happens. I see we have learned nothing.

My money says this was entirely about keeping their crews safe. It doesn’t make sense for them to just arbitrarily not help Republicans, so I want to hear from the manager before they are pilloried.

I get where you’re coming from, but the reason I disagree is because you’re assuming these people are acting in good faith. Why do they need a title?

Queer folk have always used symbols to distinguish ourselves and find others. We’re ~10% of the population and it’s necessary. Straight people do not commonly do so, and 100% of the people who feel the need to wear it like a badge are actually signaling their refusal to let the rest of us exist.

I, for one, would feel perfectly comfortable in an MMO with 90% straight people. (This is just called existing in public.) I would leave immediately if 90% of people wore a “Straight” title for no discernable reason.

Coward

I’ve decided to believe that there was a grueling audition process and he ultimately had to go forward with his second choice.

Korra was good. TLA was one of the best animated series of all time, so nothing would fill it’s shoes. But Korra was a solid show.

I am a fan of the Netflix version and looking forward to the next season.

I am honored to accept the Earth King’s invitation. 😛

This is just astoundingly out of touch. When I asked “why”, I was looking for evidence. What evidence do you have to support your supposition? Nothing.

To the contrary, polling says that only 10% of people cared about Gaza. The American people are largely tuned out of politics. Democrats’ first instinct is to always blame leftists, but the problem is that people don’t want to vote for more of the same.

I watched the Last Airbender movie before seeing the cartoon.

It’s not a bad kung fu movie, except for the casting. Not great, but it was a fun watch. Now that I’ve seen the cartoon, I understand why the folx who grew up with it refuse to acknowledge it’s existence.

Yeah, I’d call it heavy handed. It felt like it was a message first. Not as bad as the Daily Wire stuff, but going down that road. Even if I agree with the message, it felt contrived.

Just my two cents though.

Harems seem to seldom be consensual. It’s too bad really. But also one just doesn’t hear about consensual nonmonogamy much in the mainstream, so I suppose there probably are some.

It is on the candidate to inspire people. Yeah, the left was lukewarm to a candidate that was trying her best to court Republicans. How else could you expect that to play out?

Only 10% of the electorate even cared about Gaza. You’re giving the American people entirely too much credit.

You really think the 15 million people who voted for Biden but not Kamala was “misplaced sense of moral superiority”? Why?
