Used car prices went up, new car prices went up, collision repair prices went up, and repair time increased significantly. We also saw a huge increase in accident severity and a growing trend toward more aggressive driving.

I read labels and…

  • Eat only trace amounts of saturated fat.
  • No sugary drinks.
  • Eat a lot of fiber.
  • No breakfast, it isn’t necessary.
  • Walk or bike 1 hour every morning.
  • Lift & run every work day during my lunch hour.

I’ve never been more fit.

Most companies selling on Amazon are contractually prohibited to sell for less elsewhere, even from their own website.

I thought capitalism had something to do with capitalists owning the means of production and alienating labor from their work. Where I live most universities are public entities.

Gaddafi would still be alive. Dictators now need nuclear weapons to assure survival. Look for the world to get real crazy real fast.

52fighters ,

You realize Muammar Gaddafi only died 12 years ago and Russia only invaded Ukraine two years ago? Nuclear weapon programs take at least that long to develop. Ukraine and Libya had programs (Ukraine actually had weapons) and abandoned them, much to their demise. If they kept their programs, they wouldn’t have had these problems.

Many of them will lack the lasting power of North Korea.

The key word in my comment is “will.” That’s a prediction. You can ping me in 25 years to see if this works out. In the mean time, people are taking this prediction seriously (it isn’t only my prediction) when discussing global politics.

With unlock I didn’t even know there was an arms race. Seamless performance the whole time!

Can we do both? Lewd behavior doesn’t belong in public.

52fighters ,

Some bars are private establishments. Those bars require memberships. The rest are public non-governmental establishments. These are open to the general public. Lewd behavior does not belong in any public establishment. If you want that type of environment, make it a membership only establishment.

China pollutes so much because George HW Bush and Bill Clinton pushed American jobs to China so CEOs could make bank on huge profits on cheap labor, unsafe work places, and near zero environmental regulation that was impossible in the United States. We built China by disregarding worker rights and the environment and we are paying for it dearly.

It is government’s job to make sure international trade is done according to some basic rules, including labor and environment. Business’ only metric is profits.

Hamas is a non-state group which creates a loophole where this rule does not apply. 🤷‍♂️

52fighters ,

It would be a war crime if against a state actor but the rules have been defined so that it is legal against non-state actors.

  1. It is not illegal to assinate terrorists.
  2. It is not illegal to dress as a doctor or nurse.
  3. There is no occupation, only conquered territory. The lands were lost when the Arabs invaded Israel and lost. Israel should incorporate non-citizen Arabs into Israel and I believe it will eventually happen.

I’m pretty sure this guys’s guilt was beyond dispute. States have so many appeals and checks on capital punishment that it is much, much cheaper to default to life in prison. The economic argument isn’t noble but should be included in the debate.

52fighters ,

Justice is giving what’s owed. And that’s a great thing to argue about: What did he owe? To the family, the victim, and society. The question would be easy if taking his life restored the life of the woman he murdered. But that’s not possible. However I have seen arguments that would require his death so organs could be harvested to save the life of others who would otherwise die. I’m not comfortable with that but do think that debate needs to happen.

Mississippi authorizes firing squad if nitrogen hypoxia, lethal injection, and electrocution are held unconstitutional or “otherwise unavailable.”

Oklahoma & Utah have similar rules.

52fighters ,

The quickest and most painless method was invented by the French: the guillotine.

If anything, I think the botched nitrogen execution should throw concern at the suicide advocates who touted nitrogen as the ideal method. They were probably wrong.

52fighters ,

I think we need to have the debate. If you murder someone, do you owe your life if it can save the life of another?

52fighters ,

Find a major US newspaper who had addressed the debate any time in the past generation.

52fighters ,

If it is a public debate it’ll be in the news. Private debates are like this. They may show up somewhere on the internet but nobody cares and it isn’t represented in the public consciousness.

52fighters ,

That’s a good argument for increasing the threshold of guilt for capital crimes. But of those legitimately and obviously guilty, do they owe a debt equal to their own life for murdering someone else?

52fighters ,

I read about 50 books per year, one a week. Nothing sticks out as one leading a public debate on this question. Most published books aren’t read by more than a few hundred people. Is there one you are thinking of that I missed?

52fighters ,

It would be restoration by proxy. I once had a friend who stole money. He did not know the person and could never find him again. To make restoration he gave an equal amount plus reasonable interest to a charity, anonymously. The charity was a proxy for the man from whom he stole.

Is Solus an image based distro?

The Alliance Defending Freedom video tapes a sermon by a preacher specifically violating the rule and send it to the IRS, trying to bait them into applying the rule because they are confident SCOTUS will declare the rule unconstitutional. The IRS never takes the bait. They’d rather have the appearance of a rule than no rule at all. As it is it is mostly self-enforcing on most congregations.

There’s nearly 0% odds I end up with the same wife and kids twice and I hit the jackpot the first time around. Give me the money.

‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit (www.theguardian.com)

‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit::A mass user protest six months ago over technical tweaks had big downstream effects, and now the ‘front page of the internet’ is changed for ever

52fighters ,

I use an app on Android called stealth to view Reddit but I cannot vote or comment. I’d like to see Lemmy/kbin grow enough that the niche communities move here.

I think it went something like this, “Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.”

Psalm 95:5, “For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils.”

The progressive congregations that go along with these changes are experiencing a membership free-fall. The paradox is that the more congregations embrace modern values, the more surviving congregations promote the opposite.

That’s a liberal thing to say but how liberal is the policy of prohibition of divorce and reinforcement of the law (I come to fulfill, not destroy…keep the commandments). Also, how liberal is the message of tolerating government oppression?

Pope says priests can bless same-sex unions, requests should not be subject to moral analysis (apnews.com)

Pope Francis has formally approved allowing priests to bless same-sex couples, with a new document explaining a radical change in Vatican policy by insisting that people seeking God’s love and mercy shouldn’t be subject to “an exhaustive moral analysis” to receive it.

52fighters ,

Not only that but the document specifically states priests cannot bless gay marriages, unions, or when a couple is dressed as if they are getting married.
