He’s a cop, of course he knows how law enforcement will go through and find something incriminating

Even ranked choice voting couldn’t save NYC from picking the most bonkers mayors you can imagine

I’d hesitate to call it a replacement but it is very fun! Top of the Stardew-likes imo

Just curious, but why is your description of an entirely different incident than the headline?

Not to be completely pedantic, but isn’t New Jersey’s next senator the one replacing Menendez now that he’s resigned? George Samir Helmy?

Normally I’d agree with you, but do we really think the guy tweeting about Kristin Stewart and Rob Pattinson’s breakup doesn’t know who Taylor Swift is? Now ask him who Charlie XCX or Chappell Roan are, and he definitely wouldn’t have a clue.

If you’re particularly clever, you might see something before the event that makes you go, huh, that seems weird, I wonder why that is. And then the event happens and you’re like, ohh, it was the event! It was telling me the whole time!

So for him it totally tracks to be married to a type of person that you hate.

Women, for example

She’s a Stan Shunpike- radicalized offscreen, leaving everyone else confused

*She. Please don’t misgender her, it plays right into these transphobes’ hands of questioning her gender.

Yeah, but are they paying any of their own money to take care of those kids for two decades?

Yes. Taxes. People without kids still pay taxes for things like education, meal programs, etc. People with kids get a tax break to compensate for the cost of raising kids. You’re asking for something already built into how we support parents and children in America.

Correct, I should clarify, you are likely safe brewing sun tea at those ambient temperatures because the glass of the brewing vessel will trap the sun and heat the tea higher than that, like a car traps heat on a hot day. You’ll likely hit 130F+ easily and be out of the danger zone!

And for those of you who only know temperatures based on brewing tea or coffee:

123F: Probably insufficient for even fairly delicate teas. You could probably make “sun tea” at this temperature by leaving tea in room temperature water to be heated by the sun, but this is not recommended as anything below ~130F is considered the danger zone for bacterial growth.

170F: This is the appropriate temperature for delicate or green teas to preserve flavor, antioxidants, and prevent bitterness.

200F: An acceptable temperature below boiling (212F) for black teas and coffee where overextraction is minimal.

109F: Unacceptable for tea brewing, barely above body temperature.

Biden isn’t running for office, so I don’t see how that would apply. This is just a tantrum from someone used to the media following him around as the most interesting thing, and now that he’s not, he’s pissed.

Yeah, I’m suspicious that at least Warren isn’t on that list given her performance in the last primary was higher than several of the folks there. Bernie could be more polarizing (and is also quite old, if that’s the problem) but obviously I’d be interested in his statistics as well.

I think the point is, human discomfort shouldn’t play a role in scientific reporting. Humans have projected a lot of human social elements (sex and gender roles, etc) onto animals and called it science, but it’s not objective. If we are self censoring, we can’t effectively share knowledge with others and we might miss important things down the line.

I’m not seeing fried chicken on that article though, just barbecue (which could be chicken or not, but wouldn’t be fried). Judging by the company response, someone over there is definitely being an asshole, even if there are elements that are traditional.

Anyone thinking that lemmy is a welcoming space to women should read through that thread first.

Edit: the current state of Lemmy and the fediverse reminds me heavily of early reddit, for better and for worse. You can curate some pretty supportive communities if you are careful picking them out, they remain well moderated, etc. But there are plenty of places where you’ll get scummy content if you wander or if posts attract too much attention.

They’ve actually slightly improved this lately, they ask about what they determine are risky sexual behaviors (ie hookups) with no gender attached now. The one thing is that you can’t be actively taking PrEP and donate because it would obscure the HIV testing results (that they ought to be doing every time, multiple times!).

It also normalizes the practice, the more people do it for just that shiny checkmark. Unless you are legit a public figure who could be impersonated, it’s actively detrimental to everyone else’s privacy to get verified.
