FlashMobOfOne , in Biden, US officials warn of hunger for millions in a government shutdown
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

LOL

The guys who’ve made 100+ billion appear out of thin air for another country’s war are totally concerned about hunger.

Captainvaqina ,

You people are so fucking stupid it’s insane.

Manifish_Destiny ,

You mean 5% of what we spent on Iraq every year?

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

You say that like it’s an actual rebuttal.

kimpilled ,

Literally just old shit we had in the closet. It’s not pallets of cash, it’s the value of the old equipment that we no longer need to store.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Your argument would have legs if the cost of those expenditures were to be deducted from the next budget, but you know it won’t be, and you know I’m right.

That said, yes, Congress has appropriated over $100,000,000,000 for another country’s war.

My point stands.

kimpilled ,

So instead of what you originally said (that we magicked up extra money for Ukraine), your argument is that we’re using money that we spent anyway, and would keep spending regardless in order to maintain our global standing? Very persuasive.

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

So your saying that the majority of congress would vote to feed the poor? Last I checked they voted to not feed even the poor children.

Seriously a stupid take.

Rapidcreek , in Biden, US officials warn of hunger for millions in a government shutdown

Republicans don’t care until they, themselves, start missing meals.

AssPennies ,

Even when starving, they’ll still find a way to blame democrats, cognitive dissonance be damned.

Hazdaz , in Majority of Americans continue to favor moving away from Electoral College

Oh for fucks sakes, it isn’t going away, so you can stop fantasizing about something that won’t happen.

Learn to win by the rules of the game.

In basketball you don’t win a game by scoring the most 3-throws. The game is won by scoring the most points. Period. Stop acting like we don’t have a way to win. If one side is gaming the system, then find a way to work around it. Clearly they were smart enough to game the system, so find a way to game it back. Goddamn it these polls are incredibly annoying. Americans will find any excuse not to vote.

sara , in Third person charged for infant’s death from fentanyl in New York City daycare

Everyone involved should go to prison for a very long time. I know fentanyl dealers probably aren’t concerned with human life in the first place, but operating a daycare as a front is beyond fucked up.

    That’s what you get with a quality news source.

    alucard ,

    This still does not preclude a republican FCC from repealing in another admin cycle.

    HubertManne ,

    "The move comes after Democrats took majority control of the five-member FCC on Monday for the first time since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021 when new FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez was sworn in." since the cutting and pasting was literally easier than just typing read the article but now I have typed so much I have done more work.

    Rapidcreek , in Before Jan. 6, the FBI predicted extremists would be 'very willing to take action' over a 2020 election dispute

    The same problem with every large foul up: communication across agencies. It’s as if they’re enemies.

    Rapidcreek , in Biden makes a historic trip to Michigan to walk the picket line to show solidarity with striking UAW -- and counter Trump

    I it could go either way, but I’m betting on Biden who is great at retail politics.

    OldWoodFrame , in We Have a Deal! Writers Strike Poised to End as WGA and Studios Reach a Tentative Agreement

    I guess I trust the leadership when they say the deal is exceptional but I kind of want to withhold judgement until we see any of the details.

    HobbitFoot ,

    Yeah. It is a good sign that the producers seemed willing to come to the table when the previous strategy was to starve them out. It probably didn’t help that independent production companies could work and didn’t seem to find the restrictions that onerous.

    ironchico , in New Orleans braces for drinking water emergency from drought-stricken Mississippi River

    And thus, the water wars began…

    Buelldozer ,
    @Buelldozer@lemmy.today avatar

    What do you mean began? In the Western US they started over 100 years ago and they’re STILL going on.

    Uncle_Bagel ,

    Inability to get water to annexed Crimea was a major reason for Russia to invade Ukraine. The water wars have already started

    nga105 , in Trump campaign backtracks claim that he bought a Glock handgun in South Carolina after it became clear that would be illegal

    Wait, I’m still catching up. Why would it have been illegal?

    Dkarma ,

    He doesn’t live in that state.

    WoahWoah ,

    This is the reason.

    Chainweasel ,

    He’s been indicted on felony charges, felons can’t own guns.

    WoahWoah , (edited )

    He’s not a felon (yet). Does that law apply to indictments?

    Edit: No, it doesn’t:

    Rayspekt , in California governor signs law requiring gender-neutral bathrooms in schools by 2026

    So there will stil be regular male/female toilets? In the end I'm kinda whatever about this as long as it's not used as an excuse to remove urinals.

    doubletwist ,

    I haven’t read the text of the law, but unless it explicitly says otherwise, I suspect it will be up to the schools/districts. If they have the money and room to build separate non-gendered bathrooms, then some of them will do so. But I suspect that most will simply convert existing bathrooms and not have gender specific bathrooms at all.

    Old_Dude ,

    Yes, every gender neutral bathroom I’ve seen here at elementary schools and college campuses have single occupancy gender neutral bathroom/s next to the men’s and women’s bathrooms.

    sturmblast ,

    if all the bathrooms are neutral there’s no need to have " regular bathrooms"

    bobman ,

    I don’t think that’s what he was asking.

    quindraco ,

    stares in confusion But urinals are the absolute worst. Benefits: cost less money and less space. Drawbacks: lack of privacy and inevitable splashback. Why would you want them?

    LwL ,

    So I don’t have to sit on a public toilet of questionable cleanliness. A small bit of splashback from my own piss is preferable.

    The privacy just has never been a concern bc no one is trying to look at other people’s dicks while pissing.

    quindraco ,

    If you can use a urinal, you can piss in a toilet without sitting down.

    LwL ,

    …which has all the same splashback issues except youre much more likely to have some piss spray in sone random spot outside the bowl

    Rayspekt ,

    Urinals are more convenient when you just need to take a quick piss. I don't get why another person next to you is a problem. Also just don't piss dead center into the thing considering splashback. Do I really have to explain pissing now?

    uis ,
    @uis@lemmy.world avatar

    Also you can put a wall between urinals

    Rayspekt ,

    Yes, it's not rocket science.

    uis ,
    @uis@lemmy.world avatar

    Rocket science isn’t hard either

    quindraco ,

    Urinals offer exactly zero additional convenience, and there is no splashback-free angle.

    SheeEttin ,

    You are doing something wrong. Urinals are designed to not have splashback.

    quindraco ,

    No, they aren’t. They’re designed to be cheap, not effective.

    Rayspekt ,

    I really don't know why we have to have this conversation right now.

    Rayspekt ,

    Sorry to break it to you, but I guess you suck at taking a piss lol.

    poopsmith ,
    @poopsmith@lemmy.world avatar

    What using urinals offer:

    • don’t need to close a door
    • don’t need to touch the seat to lift/lower it
    • takes up much less space than toilets
    • can chat with the bros

    There is much less splash using a urinal than standing at a toilet. You’re doing something very wrong if it’s splashing all over the place (how tf?).

    quindraco ,

    Basic physics. Toilets have zero splash because gravity exists. Urinals have maximum splash due to conservation of momentum.

    Kalkaline ,
    @Kalkaline@leminal.space avatar

    Do you have a urinal in your house?

    shitwolves ,

    I absolutely would if I had room.

    mxcory ,

    Just jumping in to say my grandfather did. Not a popular fixture, but you always can add one.

    ikidd ,
    @ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

    Every gender neutral bathroom I’ve been in has removed the urinals. It’s fucking annoying.

    Rayspekt ,

    Yeah that's what my comment is about. Just removing stuff until you end up at the common (worst) denominator is the worst kind of equality.

    Big port-a-potty in bed with politicians

    nxfsi , in Georgia judge orders jurors’ identities to stay secret during Trump election trial

    Wait, jurors identities were public before that?

    NocturnalMorning ,

    They’ve already been released once. I guess they want to hide them moving forward.

    roguetrick ,

    You're thinking of the Grand jury. This is about the petit jury.

    NocturnalMorning ,

    Ah, I didn’t realize there was a distinction. Thanks for the clarification.

    Serinus ,

    Grand Jury issues indictments, can put you in jail until trial, and there’s generally no defense or judge present. They only need probable cause.

    Jerb322 , in New Orleans braces for drinking water emergency from drought-stricken Mississippi River
    @Jerb322@lemmy.world avatar

    Wisconsin here. Sorry, we’re just now getting regular rain fall…there are small ponds here I’ve never seen empty, and they are all dried up. I’m 47.

    Agent641 ,

    Happy birthday!

    Jerb322 ,
    @Jerb322@lemmy.world avatar

    Not today…but thanks.

    xc2215x , in Third person charged for infant’s death from fentanyl in New York City daycare

    Glad they have been charged. A drug that dangerous should be nowhere near any baby.
