You know the Boy Who Cried Wolf? That's basically the situation we're in, the boy has been crying wolf (technology is going to kill us!) for decades and decades with every new invention. Now you don't believe the boy anymore.

But the wolf still comes at the end of the story. Don't forget that.

Put some sweet pea pods and chopped green onions into your ramen. Doesn't add much time or effort but adds tons of flavor.

EDIT Behold!

Sure, but you seem to be under the impression the only bots are the people that disagree with you.

There's nothing stopping bots from grooming you by agreeing with everything you say.

Yeah, and this time masks will be illegal.

Everyone who disagrees with you is a bot, probably from Russia. You are very smart.

Do you still think you're going to be allowed to vote for the next president?

The poverty is the result of the US economic siege war, don't pretend like they did it to themselves.

That was just a sensationalized story - they sealed the extra doors on a building but left one open, so they could do controlled screening. I think it was actually just that one building too. They didn't weld people inside buildings to die 🙄

As a result they had one of the best COVID responses in the world and saved countless lives.

Life in China is immensely better now than it was in 1999, what are you talking about?

There are plenty examples of communal matriarchal preindustrial societies, enough that anthropologists suspect that was the norm for prehistory. It's the invention of property, and thus inheritance and wealth accumulation and lineage, that leads to patriarchy and domination.

Harris decided she'd rather help Trump get reelected than break with Biden on Israel. It's her fault that she lost an extremely winnable election. She is the one that got Trump elected, more than any voter.

 

Another reddit.world community got mad at me for saying "death to US" and now I'm banned. That's fine! But why can't I block them now? I am forced to see their posts every time I go to /all and can't comment or vote, so am effectively forced to view content without any ability to interact.

I don't want to see their posts and should be able to block them from my /all feed

Here look! When I'm not banned there's a clear option to block the community:

But after being banned I now can't block the community, I'm forced to keep seeing it in my feed!

SOLVED: From the user settings page there is a tab for Blocks next to the tab for Settings, and you can manually search for the community you wish to block in a search bar. That worked, even if the UI on the community page was messed up by the block message.

 

It's got onion and tomato and lettuce and cucumbers and jalapenos and bell peppers and smokey tvp and some spicy sauce 🤤

 

The potatoes are mixed with fried tvp, peas, and carrots. The cauliflower are breaded and airfried, coated with a spicy buffalo barbecue sauce.

Miiiight have cooked a little too much tho 😅

Also here's an action shot

 

And you all told me the blue maga border bill that Republicans rejected was 4d chess.

 

The end of the article jumped out at me:

The Palestinian health ministry said 40 patients died on Tuesday, after five days without the fuel needed to power generators that fed dialysis machines and other vital medical equipment. The hospital had also run out of clean water, and doctors said they were subsisting on dates to survive as food supplies dwindled to nothing.

Corpses were piled in front of the hospital, with staff too terrified to move between buildings. The UN’s office for humanitarian affairs said staff at al-Shifa, for decades the linchpin of Gaza’s medical system, had begun preparations for a mass grave to entomb 180 bodies in front of the facility, as there was no way for them to leave in order to bury the dead.

 

Of particular note:

The Association of American Railroads, which represents freight railway operators, said its members have been hiring in recent years to address staffing needs and recognize employees' desire for better scheduling. The group said the number of overtime hours worked by BMWE union members increased to 4.7 hours per week in 2022, compared to 4 hours in 2016.

Cory Ludwig, who works as a machine operator repairing railway tracks in Iowa, said he’s been working Saturdays and some Sundays along with 10- to 12-hour shifts since September. Recently, he worked 13 days without a day off. With the mandatory Saturday work, he’s had to rely on friends and relatives to take care of his five-year-old and nine-year-old kids. He said the overtime demands have increased as he’s seen the number of workers assigned to his crew go down.

“You fall asleep and then you wake up in the morning and you go right back to work. It can really break a person down, it gets really wearing on a person after a while,” Ludwig said. “With less people trying to do the same amount of work, working long hours, working multiple weeks in a row without one day off, you get irritated and you get burnt out.”

Recently one of the union’s members had been working 22 hours straight when he fell asleep on the job, an error that could have put his colleagues’ lives at risk but also could have been avoided had the employee had a rest period, said Ballew. Another member was recently disciplined for refusing to work through his scheduled days off on short notice so he could care for a family member having health issues, Ballew said.

“The stress it puts on marriages and parenting and the things you leave behind for your spouse to deal with or the things you miss, that kind of stress builds up,” said Ballew. “In the rail industry, we have noticed recently a spat of suicides and I can’t help but think there is a correlation there.”

Thank God Biden stopped the railroad strike!

I swear if I hear another fucker say that the railroad workers got everything they wanted because Biden helped them negotiate I'll lose it.

Good thing I voted for the lesser evil in 2020! Gosh if I had stuck to principles we'd have had a genocide or something 😒

 

Look at it! What is that? It looks kind of like a cross section of a human, kind of, except the eyes are pools of blackened fire and the brain is sending electrical pulses out to... are those Jupiters? Why? Why??? This is absolute nightmare shit lol

 

Do you get it now?

The law doesn't apply to them.

 

Most of the incident was captured on video from multiple angles. Rather than argue that he didn't do it, Huston's defense is arguing that he had the right to drive through the protestors because his traffic light was green.

In the videos shown in court, many of which haven't been seen before, Huston's truck appears to approach a car at the light. When the light turned green, the truck is seen swerving around the car and comes up to the protestors who are crossing, before stopping when it collided with a pedestrian.

It's truly amazing what motorists think they can get away with.

 

The mention that this is happening because of actions of creditors made me look up wtf they're talking about.

Y'all? It's not good

Preston Hollow Community Capital, a specialty finance company that claims Mercy is in “a financial freefall,” wants a district court judge to appoint a receiver who will take control of the hospital’s assets. Preston Hollow claims the 234-bed, acute care hospital is incurring “unsustainable financial losses” and argues that a receiver is needed to avoid a shutdown of the hospital.

Mercy is now seeking dismissal of Preston Hollow’s petition for receivership, calling it a “pretextual power play by an investment fund that puts the medical team, employees, patients and larger community at risk.”

In new court filings, Mercy argues that Preston Hollow’s legal action was triggered by the Mercy board of directors’ refusal to go along with the finance company’s “aggressive and improper demands to abruptly change management.”

American healthcare everybody!

 

Abolish the border.

 

I'm not out to my parents as non-binary (they would reject it most possibly). I want to come out at school to all new teachers, that way i can just slowly come out. this law would be a disaster to any of my plans, which is why I find it scary to imagine me in Iowa.I'm not out to my parents as non-binary (they would reject it most possibly).

If "First, do no harm" is a principle in caring professions, Iowa elected officials are demanding adults cause harm to vulnerable kids in schools, and teachers have an obligation to resist policies whose purpose is to inflict cruelty. In fact, we know that using chosen names can literally be life-saving for transgender kids, as being able to use chosen names is directly linked to a decrease in depression and suicide. As a basic human courtesy, it’s the bare minimum, costs us nothing, yet can mean everything.

I like Bleeding Heartland, but one criticism I have is how they don't actually ascribe motives to fascists. They still try to maintain this bizarre appearance of """neutrality""" by just presenting the facts and not actually examining our enemies.

The entire point is to harm queer children. They want us to commit suicide before we're old enough to vote against them or spread our deviant ideas to other children. They want to increase depression and suicide. "The cruelty is the point" is trite, they're not just meanies that want to hurt us.

They're fascists. This is social Darwinism.
