If I recall correctly, it’s only one store per borough, only in areas without access to healthy foods, and where public private partnerships had failed in the past.

Just pretend to be from California instead. They understand the difference.

Haha brutal! Not surprising!

Perry County, Tennessee is only 8,300 people. There are only a few towns in LA metro smaller than that. Both LA and Orange Counties have had corrupt sheriff’s that were sentenced to jail. Imagine what it would be like in a county where everyone personally knows your family and there are very few checks and balances on power?

It would fuck over people who are straw employees where someone else is doing the work but that’s kind of the opposite scenario. There was a story recently about a lot of San Francisco tech startups all hiring the same programmer thinking he was exclusive to them (stock options involved?). Apparently the work was getting done, but didn’t meet their expectations of the type of employee they were hiring.

Behind closed doors, they probably are beginning to understand that it would be a public health disaster if they actually removed access to vaccines so Tylenol is a more innocuous scapegoat. I always avoided it because problems with alcohol interaction. In reality the culprit is more likely to be heavy pesticide use enabled by gmo roundup resistant crops.

I salute your high context joke. My wife didn’t get it but I thought it was hilarious. Looking forward to the next time there is an incident involving fudge or lemonade.

Honestly I reserve judgment on everything until (if really) we find out who killed him and why. I don’t see how this killing benefits “the left”. Feels more like a Reichstag moment. He already served his useful purpose of helping Trump get elected last year. I’ve never seen the conservatives (including previously unconfirmed conservatives) I know so riled up, calling for vengeance.

I think that is right. It’s probably $15k worth of telemetry for the “Air Force target practice” use case.

It feels a lot safer to be a pedestrian in Japan. I never saw a driver take precedence for themselves.

Figure it took them 30 years just to take Salman Rushdie’s eye.

It’s bizarre given how explicit the teachings of Jesus are. It’s very clear that many churches are cults following the teachings of man, only nominally accepting the word of God

We don’t have an official language (still technically don’t anyway, Trump’s order only applies to the Executive branch), but we do have an official Spanish language version of the National Anthem.

Do you know the best way to keep a Southern Baptist from drinking all of your beer on your fishing trip? Invite a second Southern Baptist.

Why?

Talking about expanding NATO to include southeast Asian countries. South Korea, Phillipines, or Indonesia, not to create a random proxy war.

FYI to Lemmy non-Christian’s: Paula White is an incredibly controversial figure in the evangelical community. Specifically, many believe her to be perpetuating fraud by demanding money from her followers in exchange for specific acts of prosperity provided by God (and even to ask God to smite your enemies). This differs from traditional tithing which typically is used for salaries, services (keeping the lights on), and community outreach.

Why evangelicals can’t point to her malfeasance as evidence of Trump’s corruption is a mystery to me. Additionally many conservative Christians don’t believe women should be in a position of authority, citing the same scripture she is here as evidence. If she were morally consistent she’d quit her “ministry” and go home.

Wow how did I never think of this.

America First was the slogan of the isolationist/anti-interventionist/pro-Hitler forces of the US in the 1930’s and the 1940’s. History never repeats itself, but it rhymes. I think many Americans are not aware that there is a substantial segment of the population that agrees with Hitler’s original thesis and just feel that he executed the war poorly. The Nazi rhetoric and holocaust denials are very deliberate and the destruction of the liberal world order that formed in the aftermath of World War II is the ultimate goal. I’ve strongly felt that the Ukraine war was the single most important issue in the 2024 election and the common goal of destroying the western led world order is what the project 2025 team, Trump, Putin, and Tucker Carlson all have in common.

That would be ok if they did that. Tesla chargers are now the “NACS” North American Charging Standard, and should be common on 2025 and later EV models from other manufacturers. That said I’m guessing this will be more like the solar panels on the White House that Reagan removed when he moved in.
