Perhaps poverty and a living wage are different. I often get caught up in the difference between one million and $75k.
What's fifty grand to a
like me, can you please remind me?
(A lot. That's... a life-changing amount of money for normal people)
Banning ownership becomes a game of catch. Use whatever you have: 7.62x51mm, arrows, rocks, ect.
Roast pumpkin puree can be added as filler to sauces. Bottom right option seems fine too. Why kink shame?
The $75k figure is from 2010. The article seems to be https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1011492107.
You acknowledge $75k as a living wage in 2010. How would research from 2010 be used for wage suppression today? Was it wage suppression in 2010?
Wanting an end to needless slaughter, healthcare and working equipment sounds reasonable. I am glad there are reasonable voices on Lemmy.
I am probably missing a lot of information on Israel, but continued learning is important. I recently learned about the USS Liberty incident in 1967. I am not sure how Israeli's could mess up that bad. There are still individuals maintaining the incident was deliberate. Who knows? Troubling history abounds.
People have different reasons for being on Lemmy. Examples are looking to feel validated or to pick a fight. I think these folk also existed in ye olde times. Maybe the attention economy is amplifying specific behaviors that would not have been amplified in the olde times.
Being fair, I usually come to Lemmy to argue. I am probably part of the problem.
The vote is worthless outside of swing states. May as well vote your conscience when fptp and Electoral College enshrine disenfranchisement.
Informative. Well written. Seems like the short version of my Intro to American Politics class at Uni. I classified myself as a social democrat back then. I was told I would get more conservative when I was older. Now I classify myself as an anarchist. Not sure what went wrong.
I am grateful local debates are posted online. Instead of listening to music at work I listened to the debates. Living in a one party state is unfortunate. The opposition tends to have similar political convictions to the incumbent.
Agreed. Voting shouldn't be the only activism we are involved in. My comment was about solidarity against the oligarchs that can decide to make life harder for people they deem icky.
Two weeks is short. Six weeks seems more reasonable since that's when child care will take infants.
As far as expectations of being a parent to a newborn: you will be tired, emotionally drained and fatigued to memory loss. You can actively be involved in easing and sharing this burden with paternity leave.
Republicans and Democrats were unable to stop legislation from the Judiciary with Roe v. Wade and later Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. Super PAC's donate multiple lifetimes of dollars to Presidential candidates in a quid pro quo system protected by the first amendment under Citizens United v. FEC. Americans outside the oligarchy will never exhibit their influence.
If oligarchs find your existence icky, they have the power to remove your "right" to exist. You lack the power to prevent it. Instead of thanking anyone, I suggest we take the power back. Punch up.
I can agree that the current usage imparts more effort during conversation to establish a consensus of definitions. My hypothesis is that the effort for that establishment scales non-polynomially.
I wonder if there is research on how many people can walk away from a conversation with consensus of definitions. My guess is less than 20.
Sometimes the units are given cute names like "wiggly waggly units" to make physicists cringe. Acknowledging a unit with cute names when the unit is not important is entertaining.
