I’ll forget all about this post in about 5-7 lemmy posts. Higher than my normal 3-4 lemmy post memory-wipe because I’m commenting.

With the government executing this message to our youth, I think they’ll work as well as the anti-piracy ones back in the day.

You Wouldn’t Steal a Car

Okay. Don’t stop there Alabama. So if an embryo is now a child, let’s talk now about dependents and tax exemptions, protective services, custodial rights and responsibilities, welfare benefits, insurance requirements, HOV rules, census counts, adoption and fostering rules, school districts and education funds, estate planning and probate… You wanted to open Pandora’s damn box - now every piece of state legislation that involves a child now needs to be adjusted.

Might get interesting in the news as questions arise over what the new guidelines are. But of course they won’t get addressed. Of course, of course.

Wow that sounds extensive enough to where there should be an expectation of higher pay. There’s an argument that for civic duties such as jury duty or political positions, pay should not incentivize prople to seek those duties or positions or you attract the wrong candidates…but I dont really believe thats true. Still, kudos to you for taking on a front line job like that - I’ve been to the ER a few times and the environment is just so surreal and depressing. I cant imagine the daily amounts of human suffering that you are exposed to. That’d be enough to justify the weed IMO.

On another note, you should totally do an AMA.

Had the same question when I read the headline and this was super informative. Out of curiosity, do 911 operators have to pass extensive background checks and psych exams to be able to access those databases? Also, I’ve heard the pay was abysmal - is that still true?

Death ambivalence? I feel like I’ve seen that term floated somewhere.

I literally thought Spirit airlines too. Sometimes there’s partnerships where a segment might be operated by a smaller regional company so thought that was the case at first glance.

Yep. And bad news just sells better.

I think the 2020 election and the pandemic are largely to blame for some spiraling plummets in our feelings about our system as a whole. Both of these events caused some pretty large divides in our government, communities, and even family and friend units.

War and human suffering were already there. Corporate greed and late-stage capitalism effects were already there, as well. We’re all just critically assessing everything together at this point because some of those divides removed a security net of reliability and trust.

That kid’s gotta be around 11 or 12 now. Wonder how he’s doing.

Locks you out if it detects an Android device on you or any of your passengers.

I agree with you on this one. There’s public sentiment and then there’s market reality. The hard truth is that most people have a need for a practical flight route within a certain window and there’s limited choices. Delta, United, etc. only have so many aircraft servicing so many routes and they already bought the aircraft and have to use them. While I’d personally like to avoid the 737 MAX, if it’s the only feasible choice, then that’s the one I gotta roll the dice on. I guess I’ll avoid window seats if possible.

I don’t see the 737 Max being taken off the market even with these options and rebranding wont help as airlines will still list the new model which will be publicly announced by Boeing. So what’s the market adjustment going to be? Cheaper fare? I can honestly see people surging to buy a seat on this deathcraft if prices fall enough. It’ll be like choosing between organic and pesticide-riddled.

Yeah I think people might be more thinking automation vs AI or AI automation. Two different scales but similar elements.

Had a couple of rabbits as pets and almost never had this problem. I was always tooling around in the produce shelf looking for a treat for them. Made me more aware of produce that was expiring.

Caveat: If you do have a rabbit or are thinking of getting one, stay informed on what they can eat and how much. Learned from their vet that too much calcium-rich produce was not good for their urinary tract. Fruit and carrots were bad for their teeth and should be given sparingly.

If you let them in, make sure you get them scanned for a microchip. Someone’s probably out there worried sick…

I’m having a similar peaceful Sunday morning.

I have young nieces and nephews that I visit every now and then. There is no morning decompression allowed when I visit. Not even a minute on my phone to check the day’s events. As soon as I’m awake they’re on me like crows. They’ve been told not to wake visitors, so instead they hover over me and wait and watch my eyelids while I feign sleep. It’s a literal battle of wills that can go on for over an hour until one of us caves in.

I can’t wait to give them shit for it when they get older.

I had to look this up, and this is so nuts, but there are currently 12 states that stilll have sodomy laws as of late 2023: Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas.

I think a lot of people might not realize that sodomy is often legally defined as anything that is not PIV intercourse. So most foreplay and obviously any sex practiced by homosexual couples. I absolutely don’t get why there isn’t a stronger push to get rid of this and other dumb laws against offenses that are widely committed and/or are hard to enforce.

Well I guess this one kind of makes sense in this current state of political turmoil.

You Receive: judgy looks

Wanted an electric car but it’s just a too expensive for me right now with both the purchase and my house electric panel upgrade I’ll have to do for a charging feature.

I got an ebike instead and have been using the crap out of it. Using the ebike instead of the car for simple trips like going to nearby cafes and grocery stores totally changes my day in a positive way. It’s actually postponed my want to get an electric car. I can say im partially green now but without having to have made such a huge financial sacrifice.
