The toxicity of the ideology vs the toxicity of users describing or supporting an ideology.

It’s like asking if NASA went to the moon because of the NKVD or despite the NKVD.

There are whole portions of red states that currently lack OBGYNs. And the police are patrolling the roads for pregnant people that might appear to be leaving the state to see an OBGYN.

It’s been that way since 2022 though.

(Reference: Idaho.)

This would be a major departure for the EPA in the sense that the engineer would seek efficiency out of it.

Honestly though environmental engineers come up with wild stuff which protects both the environment and human development. Not the budget though: the true opponent of civil engineers, the general public excepted.

I prefer me the multiplayer environment of Fromsoft games where it’s just absolute degeneracy and your own damn pride on the line. Where the sweat and the stupid blurs.

I didn’t see the original comment nor do I need to, but ethnic nationalism, the ‘blood and soil’ kind of nationalism, seeks to forge nationality into the same framework as race. Approaching nation states from this perspective is effectively racist, inherently so.

This is compared to civic nationalism where commitment to national values matters. So one could argue that without clarification it is a stretch, but at the same time… it’s usually pretty clear which version is meant.

Gotem.

Keep in mind business vendors ring up non-food and alcoholic beverages under food stamps all the time. There’s always a gas station or food mart ringing up beer as gatorade and such anyway.

Our lawmakers just tend to refuse to regulate or punish business overall and displace everything onto consumers as means testing for resources.

A nice amount.

That’s why the folks really worried about tankies make alt accounts to go hunting for bad takes to share with the unfederated.

CombatVideos and MeanwhileOnGrad help frame that irony.

…it’d be nice if communities could federate individually so the instances werent such flashpoints for prejudices.

There’s plenty of history of sock puppeting and brigading. Don’t need screenshots to look up post histories and the modlogs themselves, either.

That places gives NCD a run for its money for credibility.

A whole crusade just so Breitbart articles can get posted comfortably with only gentle downvotes as pushback.

An open box A12 for I think $40. Working fine for almost two years now.

My last phone purchase went something like this:

“What phones do you have with a headphone jack?”

“Uh, I don’t think any. Maybe one? I’d have to look.”

“I’ll take that one.”

“But we–”

“Only spec that matters is a headphone jack.”

“There’s bluetoo–”

“Headphone jack.”

In my youth I worked on renovating residences. There were some houses in old town (west coast usa) built in the 1890s I worked on. While trenching for a sprinkler system in the back yard we located a buried roof structure.

Turns out the house used to be an illegal speakeasy during prohibition. A whole room had been excavated and built underground and accessed through a passageway hidden by a workbench in the garage.

So there’s precedent at least.

M’lady.

“I’m doing my part!”

This whole topic has been the crusade of like two or three people.

The result is mostly just a fourth person being able to post shit like breibart without harassment.

Lemmy is still rather small.

It is much closer to severing the militant flank of the left from the rightward flank that can be recouperated into maintaining the status quo.
