Agreed. Not everybody can or wants to own a home even with a 25k bonus. Some people want the freedom to move around and explore without being bound for any more than a monthly or yearly term.

The solution is to pump up availability and let the prices correct themselves. Bind pay CEO as a multiple of their employee wages, and address economic shenanigans like stock buybacks and tax loopholes so that people end up with a larger piece of the pie--that way people can do what they want instead of being forced into one option or another.

Yeah, I thought Google was so cool around 2004. Now I can't wait for them to become irrelevant. I need to stop using "googling" as a verb...

One of the fundamental principals of the RCRA is that dilution is not an allowable solution to pollution. Otherwise, you could just say that any amount of pollution is below applicable concentrations after it mixed into the oceans, atmosphere, whatever. And any company could emit as much as they wanted as long as they diluted it. Oil spills could simply be left alone because they'd eventually distribute throughout the earth.

Concentrations must be considered as they occur in their process streams. The process stream must meet certain requirements first and foremost, and it must be further checked to see if that could significantly affect the air or water in which it is emitted, just to make sure its good to go since water flow, temperature, and wildlife migration change throughout the year. The same is true for air emissions as well.

Tbh, I don't consider these officers to be human. They don't really deserve human rights.

I used to joke that Republicans were Russian sycophants, bought and paid for by Putin himself to destroy America. But it's not actually, and maybe never was, a joke.

Yeesh

That might have been the original point. Men wear lifts to feel more "manly", reaffirming their perceived gender. Trans people undergo gender affirming care to feel more like their own perceived gender. The difference is just that other people may not perceive the trans person's gender the same as they do.

It's easy to tolerate price increases on products when you don't buy that product. The thing that concerns me though, is that if people stop buying McDonald's and instead buy canned beans... is my chili going to get more expensive because McDonald's wants 3 dollar hash browns? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes.

It's not really a debate when your opponent's metrics for winning is simply to speak more loudly, more aggressively, and to refuse to shut the fuck up more intensely than anybody else in the room.

Tbh, I'm not sure what liberals could deepfake Trump that would be worse than what he actually says haha

Jury nullification. Stand in solidarity.

I've found myself looking for a really good can opener. I purchased my last one, a KitchenAid, from Target and I've been disappointed in it the whole time. Sometimes it doesn't puncture the lid right, and it feels like it got rusty kinda fast--not at all what I want out of a utensil I hoped would last for a decade or more (who wants to keep buying can openers? lol).

I'm looking for a manual handheld can opener. I've always had the type that opens from the top, but a little bit of Googling shows that there are types that open from the side. I'm in the USA if that matters!

What does Lemmy think?
