Wu Tang did NFTs? That’s hilarious and sad

Edit: would be a lot funnier if there were Wu Tang NFTs

That user is pretty active and often tries to start debates but idk if I’d call them a troll

He didn’t win the race though? What promises would he have to keep?

Good job, GOP, you got em! They conspired to increase their own costs

Don’t Call It an ‘Ethnic’ Grocery Store: As Asian groceries like H Mart, Patel Brothers and 99 Ranch expand, they are reshaping American eating habits, and the American grocery market (www.nytimes.com)

Last year, Americans bought half a billion packets of Shin Ramyun, the spicy, beefy Korean instant noodle. The bold red-and-black packaging feels inescapable: It’s a staple of college dorm rooms, bodegas, middle-of-the-country Walmarts and viral TikTok videos....

Weird to see H Mart getting national attention. When I was growing up, it was definitely a regional thing. I recommend it if you ever get a chance to go.

True, it’s an expensive place. I have never shopped for staples there, just the fun stuff you can’t get elsewhere.

Not sure if they all have food courts but that’s a highlight too

18+ I wish I was Asexual.

Seriously I hate that. I always fantasize about having sex with very attractive women. It really grinds my fuck gears because I know that I will be a virgin forever because prostitution is illegal in Canada. So I unfortunately can not pay a very attractive 18 year old woman to have sex with me. I really wish that I was Asexual...

Fun fact: just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Also, I know hookup culture has changed a lot in the decade and a half since I was your age but it’s still possible to have sex at not be in a relationship

I will say that politics is often newsworthy and this community definitely has a US skew. Those things combined mean we do have a lot of US political content.

I acknowledge that a significant volume of the political content comes from a few specific posters (not gonna name them but I think you know at least one of them). That isn’t necessarily a problem, unless all of the content from a given user is about the same topic. That’s when it approaches propaganda and becomes problematic. Opinion pieces should go on politics-specific pages though, per Rule 6.

Thanks for the feedback, that makes sense. It’s a shame English doesn’t distinguish between you singular and you plural.

Deinstitutionalization is a good thing. The US lacks community treatment. We don’t need to go back to locking people up

You’re allowed to admire gay people without saying “I’m not gay” lol

It was a failure because it was co-opted by the right (Reagan) and manipulated into a way to cut public health expenditures.

The original idea, from the left and advocated for by people like JFK, was much different

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Deinstitutionalization has nothing to do with the lack of funding for mental health programs today. Two separate issues.

@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Right. Thank you for repeating what I just said in simpler terms ig

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

That’s true. My point is that closing institutions and funding the alternatives are separate mechanisms. It should have been done all at once but Reagan didn’t see it that way

Definitely not what I expected when I saw her name in the headlines again

Definitely scripted but still weird af

Your source claims you need to earn OASDI through buying in as a worker. That gives you Social Security (SSDI).

It then delineates SSI as a different program, without listing any buy-in requirements.

So, what I said but with extra words? Still different programs

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

You are not eligible for SSDI unless you pay into it. Anyone can be eligible for SSI.
