ChihuahuaOfDoom , in State Department announces plan to fly Americans out of Israel

Ok, but why were they there? Granted it’s not a bad as North Korea but still.

Jumpinship ,

It’s a pretty normal country for working and tourism

cmbabul ,

Is Tel Aviv not a tech/business hub? I imagine there’s lots of folks there for work

SheeEttin ,

Visiting family

jo3jo3 ,

There’s lots with dual citizenship

prowess2956 ,

It's nothing resembling North Korea in any way. You can, like, just fly there commercially from the US (for now).

gravitas_deficiency ,

There are an absolute fuckload of Israeli tech companies, and more than a few who are highly regarded in various specialized fields - particularly infosec

xtr0n ,

2 or 3 of the most popular religions on earth have holy sites there, so that’s not an insignificant source of tourism.

    2 percent. I’d say the rocky rollout is continuing.

    RedditWanderer ,

    Yeah that’s what I meant.

    SayJess , in Florida law targeting drag shows can’t be enforced for now, appellate court says
    @SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    It’s hard to square articles that suggest that so many voters are in favor of pro-LGBTQ+ laws, against a backdrop of laws that criminalize existing as an LGBTQ+ person. Where are these voters at? How about all of the corporations that bastardize pride? That’s right; inconvenience.

    Gerrymandering to make those large blocks of voters unable to vote in significant amounts of officials + officials willing to just fly against the will of the people who voted them in anyway are major factors here too

    Mikey_donuts , in Democratic senator Bob Menendez facing additional charges following sweeping indictment

    Guy is as crooked as a pretzel.

    TenderfootGungi , in 'Addictive' social media feeds that keep children online targeted by New York lawmakers

    This seems like a better approach than Utah’s lawsuit against TikTok.

    renownedballoonthief , in Deadly bird flu reappears in US commercial poultry flocks in Utah and South Dakota

    Reminds me of the joke about a man that dies in a flood waiting for good to save him while turning down any actual rescuers.

    Meat eaters: if you need a sign from God or fate or whatever to start being vegan, here’s yet another one. Try not to drown before you change your mind.

    xc2215x , in Winning $1.7 billion Powerball jackpot sold in California

    Glad to see such an impressive win.

    JohnDClay ,

    Why? It’s just random how long it goes for. The amount is impacted by how many people are playing, but they’re all losing money on average.

    Garbanzo , in Families of U.S. citizens held hostage by Hamas urge the Biden administration to 'do more' and plead for information

    Just to be blatantly insensitive, are these people bankers? Seems like their motto is fuck around and expect a bailout.

    PhlubbaDubba , in Amazon Workers Gear Up for Black Friday Strike

    Thanksgiving should really be pushed to the Friday, why Lincoln went with the damned Thursday of that week I simply cannot comprehend, and why Nixon’s Monday Holiday schtick didn’t affect it too I especially don’t understand

    PhlubbaDubba , in Families of U.S. citizens held hostage by Hamas urge the Biden administration to 'do more' and plead for information

    What do they want here? Iran has demonstrated that trying to mount an invasion to liberate hostages by force from Islamists does not end well.

    The only way they’re getting “more” is if they make peace with losing their loved ones in exchange for pushing an invasion of Gaza to round up as many Hamas leaders as can be grabbed to give them the hostage treatment in revenge.

    atetulo , in ACT test scores for US students drop to new 30-year low

    I’d wager a lot of students just don’t care because they really shouldn’t.

    Thanks to the internet, and now AI, pretty much all the information they’ll ever need is right at their fingertips.

    Why would they focus on academia which teaches them to make things harder on themselves so it’s easier on teachers?

    Also, modern schools are just propaganda mills these days anyways. Their goals are to get students to conform and waste money at college.

    I’m a firm believer that academia is not for everyone, and we shouldn’t be forcing it to be. It should be there for those who want it, and nothing is wrong with those who don’t.

    Pasta4u , in ACT test scores for US students drop to new 30-year low

    Is this like the SAT?

    PhlubbaDubba ,

    It’s the same group but the ACT is IIRC more of a general skills test than the basic math reading and writing the SAT throws at you.

    When I took it I know it had a section on the scientific method and I think it had a basic history section too.

    Pasta4u ,

    Ah okay, I took the sat back in 98. Never had heard of act. Than you for filling me in.

    ThrowawayPermanente , in California becomes the first state to ban four chemicals in food, including red dye No. 3

    Wow, of all the red dyes in the world they had to pick my favorite one. This wouldn’t have happened if Trump was president.

    Swasey , in California becomes the first state to ban four chemicals in food, including red dye No. 3

    Funny enough I used to be allergic to red dye as a kid as it made my skin break out
