I was thinking of appealing my parking ticket to the Supreme Court by using the defense that the officer that issued the ticket did it to keep me from voting and … uh … freedom.

Yes. but those people that lose their jobs wouldn’t have to stress about either paying for or using healthcare - This freedom can give many people the opportunity to do something they love (or like to do). Maybe that is starting a new business or creating a new product? Or they could go work in a different industry that they find more fulfilling where previous they couldn’t because of the lack of health benefits.

I think in the long run the people that lose their job grinding away in a huge faceless health insurance job might actually be a good thing for them?

Some people just don’t like silly videos I guess …

A true “Patriot” would follow the trail of the filter. Where did the raw materials come from for the filter? where was it manufactured? how was it shipped to the store? Who put it on the shelf? If a dirty librul ever touched it then it can’t be certified as “non-woke”

I think the way you need to do it is The Onion style of journalism, with a wink and a nod. BUT when your crazy ass right wing theories get shared as “FACTS” on other social media sites you don’t dispute it. I kinda think that is how most right wing YouTubers do it.

If the system was working as it should congress can impeach him. But that’s not going to happen we know that he knows that.

I also think that he is using this GOP congressional firewall to keep doing it because why not?

I’ve got nothing to add other than, Alex Jones is a big piece of shit

Holy shit those pictures just pissed me off again.

Furthermore, working under the diplomatic cover provided by ambiguous language in the COP28 decision text, ADNOC plans to produce vast amounts of oil and gas for decades to come. In the year that the UAE hosted COP28, ADNOC sought oil, gas and petrochemical deals potentially worth close to $100 billion, a five-fold increase on what it pursued in 2022 and significantly more in dollar terms than in the previous four years combined. Our analysis shows that ADNOC sought or closed deals in 2023 with firms owned by or domiciled within 12 countries, including 11 of the 16 nations targeted in the leaked COP28 country briefing documents. In all, ADNOC and its subsidiaries either clinched or targeted at least 20 deals with international firms in 2023.

why the fuck would younger generations forgive you, if you treat these conferences as opportunities to secure more business for your oil empire?

I have a feeling this will sit in a garage most days. It will only come out for July 4th parades and to drive through some brown persons house “accidentally” during a welfare check.

I’m a little biased but I do look down on men that lack any handyman skills

That is a lot biased to the point that you can’t even see that other men’s lives may have put them in a position of not learning those things or even wanting to learn those things. It’s great that you know how to do those things but just because someone has a penis doesn’t mean they have to learn how to be handy. That doesn’t make them any less of a man, just different from you.

I didn’t voluntarily leave reddit I got banned for some random comment (I honestly don’t know what it was) and the appeals process was bullshit. So I found Lemmy. Haven’t been back to reddit since don’t miss it.

To take a side route and just say that I agree that Bush deserves the hatred for his actions and decisions but I think the evil moniker should be place on the chest of Cheney and Rumsfeld. Bush was just a weak President that allowed those two to call the shots.

I get allowing former felons to run for office - they served time that society said was their punishment. They are done with it.

But a law that bans a felon that has not completed their punishment is a different story.

That is true it is a big part of society and how to get along, and you would think that because this is one of the foundations of this society it would be a bigger part of someone’s education. This shouldn’t be something people should have to figure out on their own in order to feed themselves and their family

One semester of Schmooze 101 could go along way in helping an awkward yet brilliant scientist get the funding they need.

I do appreciate posts like those.

My objective when I look through a comment thread, especially in a topic I don’t know much about, I’m looking for the well reasoned posts. I admit I’m a human (confirmed via captchas) and love to have my opinions validated, but I also like to read a different take on a situation or issue. And because I am not in a situation where I don’t feel like I have to defend my opinion I’m more open to seeing a different perspective.

So thank you for taking the time to write those out - and to others that do that thank you as well.
