“It’s the Democrats’ fault because they let Trump win!”

Probably remasters or remakes. They don’t want to compete with themselves.

There’s an entire website dedicated to relating each passage in the bible about the antichrist to trump. I don’t remember what the site was, but a quick google search should get the result.

This could probably be used to check for authentic game cartridges. I’m not going to be licking used games to find out if they’re real, though.

Yeah, there’s lots of places with rampant toxicity. I was just comparing reddit and lemmy, and I consider the Federated nature of lemmy to help prevent (not necessarily stop) toxicity from growing.

I’m not an expert on this whole Federated thing, but to me, it sounds like if one community is having problems with another, they can just disassociate and not have to deal with it anymore.

True, but Reddit had the right conditions for toxicity to grow and begin to run rampant. Lemmy, with its decentralized nature, should limit the spread of any toxic communities.

We have a big maple in our yard and more through the neighborhood. The sound of wind running through their leaves is very calming.

Whoops I’m a nerd.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what is turning (and has been turning) the US into a shithole country.

Animal Cruelty is basically every K9 Unit’s motto.

But my Maga coworker just told me she wants to make everything more expensive! Now I don’t know who to believe; you both sound equally sensible. /s

I always turned them off, unless I was just going to eat dinner and couldn’t save. The lasers for old systems like the PS2 and Sega Saturn have a longevity, and will wear out over time. I’d rather not speed that up since I plan on keeping them around. I was also scolded for wasting electricity growing up, so that is burned into my habits as well.

SE Michigan isn’t nearly as bad as Northern Michigan as far as snow goes. A few inches usually doesn’t need shoveling, but a lot of people will do it to keep their driveways clear. Tire-tracks in snow will freeze into ice, making it harder to shovel later.

Growing up, we would almost never get snow-days off from school, even during a deep freeze + blizzard. Don’t expect things to shut down, and your boss will probably expect you to show up for work. Roads will get plowed and salted, but the first heavy snow causes driving problems until they clear it up. The last few years weren’t very bad for SE Michigan. Last winter, there were probably only a couple of mornings where I avoided the highway due to weather and the traffic problems it caused.

So then… these factory farms are the ones creating the “weapons of mass destruction,” and the activists are the ones trying to stop them…?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The FBI has been collaborating […] to gather information on animal rights activism […] under its directive to counter weapons of mass destruction

[…] charging activists who break into factory farms under federal criminal statutes that carry a possible sentence of up to life in prison - including for the “attempted use” of WMD

Can someone explain to me, in simple terms, how animal rights activism is connected to weapons of mass destruction?

Employers and workers together are spending close to $20,000 for family health insurance coverage in 2018, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation report.

Companies pick up most of the tab, shelling out $14,100 a year, on average. Still, workers have to pay an average of $5,550, up 65% from a decade ago.

For single coverage, total premiums have reached $6,900, on average, up 47% from 2008. Workers contribute roughly $1,200 a year.

Headline is misleading; most of the cost is being paid by employers, and the $20k number is for the coverage of a full family. Most people on single-person coverage are paying $1,200 a year for their insurance, with the employer paying the larger portion of the bill.

The article almost makes it sound like we should be sorry for big corporations eating the cost of having employees.

Not to defent the corporate dystopia, but usually to qualify for whatever kind of insurance these companies have, they are required by the insurance company to drug test. At least, that’s how it is at the company I work for. If they don’t drug test, the company is held liable for anything the employee does, and insurance won’t cover it.

She wants to fill your farmland with trees! Useless trees! No more taters or pipe weed! Good luck digging a new burrow with all those roots. Speaking of roots, did you hear about the Ents? All they do is destroy our towns, ripping our dams apart so they can drink all our water. Horrible, horrible creatures, and they will tread all over your flower gardens if you let this self-centered “elf queen” have her way!

Sarcasm tag isn’t necessary. Those who benefit from it see these as legitimate questions.

I remember when this happened. I think it’s wild that she is still being detained for it.
