How about we get someone who can win in a swing state so we can avoid Trump? Because right now from the polling it looks like Biden can't.

I'd vote for a literal corpse with a (D), but there's voters who are somehow undecided or ambivalent about fascism. The fact remains that the polling shows this hurts Biden in required swing states which is extremely concerning.

Saying that Biden needs to be replaced is not the same as saying don't vote for whoever is the Democratic candidate. I've been screaming into the void telling people to vote on Lemmy and even I think he needs to be switched out. The post debate polling is that damning.

If the dems shove it down our throats I'm still voting for him, but there's still a narrow window to get a better candidate and we should take it.

If a highschool student cannot be instructed on Shakespeare without it being a crime, the law is too far gone to be reasonable in anyway. The same goes for Brave New World and A Handmaid's Tale. There are graphic depictions of sex in many major works of literature and we need to quit pretending teenagers don't know what sex is or that reading about it will indelibly harm them.

Thought this was a good article. If its not on topic enough for the community it can be removed.

We are growing alfalfa in the deserts of Arizona with water from aquifers, so it sadly needs to be said.

The article might have been well-informed and factual

Like many substacks purporting to give health information, its a massive link dump filled with unsupported suppositions in between. Reading all the links provided would give much more accurate information.

In the final paragraphs his insistence that everyone should be keto and not use any form of sunscreen gives away the fact he's a crank.

The point of an armorer on set is that they ensure that the guns aren't dangerous. The typical rules about "don't aim at something you don't want to destroy" doesn't apply in a movie because otherwise all the action sequences would look dumb with people firing wildly at the ground. How stupid would it look if John Wick shoots at the floor and blood spurts out of the guys face.

That said, anyone who hires a scab armorer gets what they pay for and deserve to be prosecuted.

I think its collapse-y as the idea that companies know full well the danger of these chemicals, yet they still sell them in their products perfectly characterizes why were in the situation we are currently.

That said I had no idea the clothing community existed and I like putting the spotlight on more niche communities so in the future I'll post relevant stuff there instead.

As the US slides further towards fascist Christian Nationalism the more common restrictions like this will become.

I talked recently with a consultant who specialized in food sovereignty and security work and they didn't see the industry as fully developed as mariculture for muscles and clams. Seafood Processing facilities are wary preparing it for market and prefer to stick to what they know. Allegedly there was only a single grower in my state who was reliably turning a profit without major subsidies. Perhaps its more developed in Europe and this is less applicable.
