Can’t we just agree that religions that teach women are subservient to men should be opposed? A concept of religious freedom that gives parents/fathers the right to compel observance on their children under threat of beatings or death is a fucked up sense of freedom. I don’t blame France for trying to protect their secular society by banning religiously-derived garb in public schools - removing the power of parents to dictate such garb gives kids a chance early on to make up their own mind - do they like the freedom from family-mandated othering they experience at school, or do they like displaying that they are subserviant to men when compelled by their family?

What’s the female equivalent of an Uncle Tom? Aunt Tina?

All I know is that the pointless waste of coastal rebuilding goes hand in hand with coastal states like NC literally outlawing using actual data to support their coastal policies. Instead of climate adaptation it’s epic waste and denialism.

Which somehow means that Europeans suddenly have headlights that makes sense while we’re over here dying from aftermarket HIDs that should be treated like the VA Highway Patrol treats radar detectors ( rip ‘em out and smash them with a sledgehammer on the side of the road)

I.e., taxpayers nationwide have their income tax dollars diverted so that people can have their homes rebuilt indefinitely on a glorified sandbar in a known high risk hurricane area.

Seriously. Emulating the USA’s criminal “policies” is stupid, and I live here. Next thing he’s going to suggest all your cops have guns, and then suddenly you’ll have black market firearms everywhere.

The German colonizers of Germany. The word is getting tired, friends.

The thing that I find surprising is that I’ve always heard variations of “no one knows what they REALLY meant” when the drafters wrote 2A. I’ve known there were historical militias but I didn’t realize that they were either organized by the state or state-sanctioned. I didn’t think the drafters meant to create autonomous militias that are sedition prone (like the current private “militias” that play apocalypse games in the woods of the Midwest). And that’s because they FUCKING didn’t. It’s a relic and the current interpretation (guns for everyone at birth so they can blow anyone’s face off at the slightest provocation or accident) is a sham.

I’m just saying that we might need to get away from the idea that a car battery is solely an owner expense. They’d have to be subsidized or there would be huge equity issues. And yes “I do know about net metering,right.”

I get that way a month ago. And yeah, I quickly run into duplicate content, but over the last couple weeks the duplicate content has been strongly peppered with new content that is highly engaging. With less churn, I find that I spend more time commenting as well.

You just sent me down a rabbit hole of US state militia history, and now I feel like the 2d Amendment actually makes sense—people were expected to have their own weapons so they could be called by the state into militia duty if needed. Our current 2A precedent is so far off base it’s insane.

Upvoted for use of British English word “schtoom,” a Yiddish loan word. I always thought Yiddish loan words were an American thing, thanks for the learning opportunity.

My GF is an analyst and she was showing me all of the ways the new API is going to piss off her firm’s clients with all of the changes. I won’t pretend to understand it. Excessive rounding making it difficult to get the resolution some clients expect? Something about midnight causing duplicate counts… there was a lot. Mainly it seemed like issue would be the major corpos being mad at the firm because the reporting can’t be exactly the same as it was before.

Hello fellow Bronie.

I’d love to feel the warm glow of firelight in deep midwinter as these places burn. Not advocating actually doing anything. It’s just a mental image.

Opinions are fine. Being disingenuous/an asshole at the same time as having an opinion definitely provokes smackdowns, even on lemmy.

He expects empathy without having any to offer. It’s bizarre.

These organizations exist to actively deny women the ability to choose by (1) not making it crystal clear that they do not provide abortion services, (2) surreptitiously eating up the time a woman is legally allowed to get an abortion. They are designed to fool unsophisticated women into NOT HAVING A CHOICE, and purposefully increasing the emotional toll of the decision to have an abortion. Fuck them all. EDIT: I’m an attorney. When I use the word “unsophisticated” in this context, I mean “unfamiliar with the phenomenon of religious organizations pretending to be pregnancy centers, that are designed to run out the clock from having an abortion.” If you’ve got limited time to make a decision, and you make an appointment with one of these places saying you need an abortion, they will tell you to come in, and will not volunteer that they don’t offer abortions. It is well documented that women have run out of time to have an abortion because of these asshats. But go ahead, fuckface, be a disingenuous shill.
