Golly, who could have imagined that some charismatic sociopath spreading conspiracy theories would feign remorse in court to reduce his sentence?

The alleged charm of this kill-billy is lost on me.

We fell out of love with paying for air.

AttackBunny , in How America fell out of love with ice cream

If I had fuck you money, and Ben and Jerry didn’t insist on making their tasty shit like 1500 calories a pint, I’d totally keep them in business single handedly.

1500 calories a pint is probably the reason why it tastes so good.

AttackBunny ,

Not arguing that at all but I don’t eat too many more calories for the whole entire day so it’s pretty tough to have in day to day life for me.

MicroWave OP ,

True.

I just make it a once a month thing to mitigate the damage

braindamagebuddy , in How America fell out of love with ice cream

Dam, I eat probably 50-60lb per year, trying to do my part.

Jode , in Neighbor outraged after HOA decides to tear down 12-year-old home over new rule change: ‘How is that even legal?’

A variance permit for something with a “zone number” referenced like that isn’t going to be decided by an HOA its going to come from a local zoning law. So I don’t think an HOA has anything to do with this. To me it reads like a property buyer is interested in the place contingent on if they get that zoning law for 35ft wavered to 20ft for either an addition on the place or maybe knock it down and building their own joint.

In 1986, the average American ate 18 pounds of regular ice cream, according to the USDA. By 2021, the most recent year of the data, that was down a third to just 12 pounds per person.

12 pounds per person still feels like a lot.

Blamemeta ,

Per what time period? Life time?

Num10ck ,

per year.

MicroWave OP ,
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

Per year if I’m reading the article correctly.

Burninator05 ,

I agree. I don’t eat anywhere near that so one of you must have increased your consumption by a third to pretty close to 24 pounds.

I also think it’s weird that they are measuring in mass when it is almost always sold by volume.

Mongostein , in How a Vast Demographic Shift Will Reshape the World

Maybe if the world weren’t going to shit people would want to have kids

partial_accumen ,

Interestingly, the richer a country gets, the fewer kids it gives birth to. When there’s a good chance you’re going to lose 3 to 4 children before they reach adulthood to hunger, war, disease, or general violence you hedge your bets by having 5-12 kids. Also historically, you need more kids to work your land/trade to support the family.

In an advanced economy you don’t need to have kids for either one of those reasons. Further, life is pretty good without raising kids so yet another group decide not to become parents. The big drop of fertility rate in the US happened in the early 70s likely before most people reading and posting here were born.

Its not all that kids are too expensive to raise in modern economies. Its partly sure, but not even the largest part.

Mongostein ,

I’m not even talking about cost. I’m talking about the fact that the world is literally burning down around us. We had 50 years warning and we did nothing meaningful about it. I’m not raising a kid just so he can be forced to go fight in the water wars of 2050.

partial_accumen ,

At least in the USA, the various world crises in the 1960s were quite a bit worse for the prospects of your new born children. We just had the Cuban Missile Crisis where we got closer to global thermal nuclear war than ever in history. The war was raging in Vietnam where young men were dying. The Soviet Union was flexing its power in Eastern Europe where they had just rolled tanks into Czechoslovakia. China had detonated their first Hydrogen bomb.

Frankly it looked pretty bleak then where there was a chance you and your entire family would die in nuclear hellfire potentially any day.

@Ragnell@kbin.social avatar

Not to mention kids require an investment of time and care that a lot of people just don't want to make. Given the actual ability to not have kids, some couples choose not to. And it's good that they don't have to, I mean, how many shitty, abusive parents were there in the past before birth control? People in rich countries are making the mature choice not to have children. People in poor countries would also make that choice, if they had the same access to reproductive care.

@jukes@lemmy.secondpartysoftware.com avatar

The Primetime Event on Apple TV is hilarious. It is pouring rain so Messi is going to come out and just get drenched at midfield. The broadcasters also aren’t under cover and are just soaked trying to talk and conduct interviews

rusticus1773 , in Neighbor outraged after HOA decides to tear down 12-year-old home over new rule change: ‘How is that even legal?’

No decision from the HOA was mentioned in the article. Fuck the title of this submission.

It said the hearing was in 2019 too. There has to of been a decision by now.

PenguinJuice , in Canada wildfires: Second firefighter dies amid record blazes

That's so sad. How are these people even fighting a fire this monstrous?! I can't even imagine what being in that environment is like :(

ArugulaZ , in QAnon Shaman, who pleaded guilty and made a heartfelt apology in Jan. 6 case, has changed his mind and wants his plea reversed

Let me make this abundantly clear to the shameful man who calls himself Shaman: FUCK. YOU.

Also, is your mommy still packing you sack lunches for your extended field trip to prison?

someguy3 , in Neighbor outraged after HOA decides to tear down 12-year-old home over new rule change: ‘How is that even legal?’

Reminder that HOAs were thinly veiled segregation. It’s all so easy to harass someone until they move out.

popekingjoe , in Neighbor outraged after HOA decides to tear down 12-year-old home over new rule change: ‘How is that even legal?’
@popekingjoe@lemmynsfw.com avatar

HOAs have entirely too much power. This is ridiculous.

andrewta ,

There is nothing in the actual article that states what the hoa decision was/is.

The reality is it is highly unlikely the hoa would even try to tear down the house. And even if the hoa doesn’t grant a variance for a building that already exists, a simple visit to a judge would fix it.

The house has existed for twelve years, it’s basically grandfathered in. And the house can’t be sold until the vote is held…, big deal? A vote like this usually happens pretty fast. It’s probably already taken care of.

The article is basically about a Reddit post. That doesn’t sound like a very reliable news source.

sin_free_for_00_days , in QAnon Shaman, who pleaded guilty and made a heartfelt apology in Jan. 6 case, has changed his mind and wants his plea reversed

OK. Take away the plea deal and put him in jail for a couple decades. Insurrectionist asshole.

toasteecup ,

Isn’t the minimum punishment for insurrection the death penalty?

sin_free_for_00_days ,

Nope. Death is a possible sentence for treason (while no less than 10 years in jail at a minimum). Insurrection sentencing is not more than 10 years and a fine.
