Yes, exactly. If those silly poor people only worked harder they too could be aristocracy.

Florida state parks whistleblower fired after exposing Ron DeSantis’s plans (www.theguardian.com)

Florida’s department of environmental protection has fired a whistleblower who exposed and sank governor Ron DeSantis’s secretive plan to pave over environmentally sensitive state parks and build lucrative hotels, golf courses and pickleball courts....

He made 45k. I hope this gofundme is real bc it’s almost at 200k

Pratchett talks about this in “Moving Pictures”. He has many insights, 100% would recommend. GNU sir Terry

I think there’s a difference in average maturity between US teenagers and European teenagers. I moved to the states when I was 20 and was shocked about how childish some of my new peers seemed. And I remember also being completely surprised I couldn’t even lift my dad’s case of beer into his trunk (he’s a wheelchair user). The cashier flipped out when I picked it up.

ReiRose ,

Yup. Its amazing how quick and efficient the government is when rich peoples interests are involved

ReiRose ,

I would love to get a mask made that read “I have tuberculosis”.

Beautiful and peaceful

Here for the airplane angle too Got enchanted by the forest suggestion…so aircraft crashing in a forest!

ReiRose ,

Aside from aircraft painted on wall, I think put a mattress area on the floor (or comfy seating) and paint a galaxy in glow in the dark paint.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

Séances for cow ghosts 🐄 👻

ReiRose ,

I agree. It doesn’t cost a lot to buy lentils and make dal, but it takes time.

The problem is really our entire food system is geared towards profit and the excessive suffering that comes from that. If you want to eat meat a little more ethically…you have to spend more or have the time to raise animals yourself.

Vegans vs meat-eaters is distraction from humans vs industrialized food. Vegans are correct about the suffering of animals, but those that focus on preaching to convert would find their time best spent being compassionate to those that can’t make changes.

Some small changes include:

  • have one more vegetarian day a week
  • in a restaurant select the vegetarian entree or three vegetarian side dishes in stead of a meat main course
  • buy from local farms if available
  • make some mushy Peas for a lunch option
  • meal prep (vegan/vegetarian food does freeze easily and is easy to reheat)
  • if making a dish that contains ground meat substitute (homemade options below)

I mean to do it all at once is not easy. Making small changes over time can improve health and save money. Thinking about the suffering of the animals can be detrimental, because you may associate making vegan choices with thoughts of animal suffering. I used to subscribe to a vegan magazine, but half of it was amazing recipes, and the other half was distressing animal stories.

mushy peas (use margarine or olive oil instead of butter)

mushroom “forcemeat” and other substitutes

dal recipe

You’re not a terrible human if you eat meat! It’s not easy to change, but doing a little bit can go a long way. See if you can cut it down ❤

ReiRose ,

I think plant-based is the diet choice and veganism is the lifestyle. I got corrected by someone who was plant based. They didn’t want to associate with vegans

Calvin?

If you take care of your parents or other elderly, how are you preparing to age gracefully?

Experiencing firsthand how difficult an aging alcoholic, quadriplegic, post stroke, narcissistic, demented or simply ‘nothing’s wrong with me, I can drive, I don’t need those meds, I don’t need to go to a nursing facility’ kinda parent surely gives you some insight on what to do, what not to do and how to prepare for...

ReiRose ,

That took a turn I hope that suicide will be legal and safe before you have to make that choice.

ReiRose ,

This happens at my job too. Overall the benefits of my union far outweigh how shit they are and the union dues. I’d rather have a crappy union than none at all.

I know my company would screw me over much worse than my union and company combined if there was no union.

ReiRose ,

❤

ReiRose ,

Explain to me like I’m five, how does this?

ReiRose ,

Thank you! Link please ❤

ReiRose ,

Thank you!

ReiRose ,

Do you have other specific examples? Preferably with sources. As a layman it’s very unexpected, I’d like to learn more.

“Investigate what?”

Seems like noone will investigate

Let’s hope his death unites the majority that is against the regime. I mean, let’s hope he doesn’t have to die at all, but if he does that it reignites the protests.

ReiRose ,

When mine was 600 I got $2500 with zero interest for six months. I was able to pay it off within the six months. I would try to apply to see.

MacBook pro freezes on log in and crashes (sh.itjust.works)

I just got this Mac from my grandma because she said it wasn’t working. It boots and lets me go into recovery mode but crashes in a similar way whenever a loading bar starts. I’ve tried booting every different way and cleared nvram. I didn’t see any clearly visible damage on the logic board, and I’m willing to try any...

ReiRose ,

At first I thought this was a patchwork quilt.

ReiRose ,

It was prophesied Edit: prophecied? Prophesized??

ReiRose OP ,

The wages are published, but the school is for profit and decides the salary. Incremental raises are established with union contract.

All fifty bags went within twenty minutes, and they had to turn employees away.

ReiRose OP ,

Although of course, no matter how much you’re paid random stuff happens and I support assistance for employees. It just seems dystopian to have to offer food for more than 10% of your workforce.

ReiRose ,

Shhhh! Just to mention it might bring it back!

ReiRose ,

Not at all!! I’m being a bit tongue in cheek really. I enjoy these things, but the jeans one went on a bit long.

(Que someone to create a car driving around some jeans for 18 hours to shock yoga pants wearers)

ReiRose ,

I see. I joined during the exodus (and the three days no poop)

ReiRose ,

Is this comments section: “fuck shit up, society isn’t working,” vs “follow the rules when you protest, that’s how you make change happen.”

ReiRose ,

I don’t even see it! 😆

ReiRose ,

Good eye I was looking at the top right picture on the belly thinking “how do they know what that is!?” (Edit, typo)

ReiRose ,

Yes

I’m assuming there’s a European backup to GPS, is there?

A Filipino villager is nailed to a cross for the 35th time on Good Friday to pray for world peace (apnews.com)

A Filipino villager has been nailed to a wooden cross for the 35th time to reenact Jesus Christ’s suffering in a brutal Good Friday tradition he said he would devote to pray for peace in Ukraine, Gaza and the disputed South China Sea....

They can’t even wash people’s feet, despite all the superbowl commercials.

Both are equally imaginary

Seems like if we didn’t briefly persecute cats in the middle ages we may not have suffered so much from the black death.

Also cats are awesome

Your Yorkshire pudding looks like it needs more gravy.

Do you have any resources on the how for transitioning?

Ours is indoor/outdoor. We do a lot to mitigate the risks, but I’d love to have an option to slowly bring him in.

ReiRose ,

Same. My parents went to the courthouse with their besties, then out to dinner after.

I'm Heading to Phoenix Can Anyone Recommend Anything Cool To Check Out While I'm There?

I’m heading to Phoenix, AZ next week to visit family and I was just curious if any locals would be able to recommend me anything cool to check out. I am already planning on trying to hit the end of spring training but don’t have any other plans. I enjoy good food, art, geeky things like comic and games, and am also a LGBT...

Some info that I found important that isn’t in this article but is in the Wiki:

He spent 18 months in hospital, before going home. He was paralyzed from the neck down. His parents rented a portable generator and a truck to bring him and his iron lung home. Beginning in 1954, with help from the March of Dimes and a physical therapist named Mrs. Sullivan, Alexander taught himself glossopharyngeal breathing which allowed him to leave the iron lung for gradually increasing periods of time.

Alexander died from a COVID-19 infection on March 11, 2024, at the age of 78. He was one of the last two people still using the technology, alongside Martha Lillard, who first entered an iron lung in 1953.
