  • And in a crazy perfect world maybe even infrastructure for people walking, biking, and taking public transportation.

  • Start talking to your coworkers!

    Even if you don't convince your workplace to unionize, you're laying the groundwork for the next person who tries.

  • I think it's more like, if you're ever in a custody dispute your diagnosis can be used against you.

  • "But they said they'd help me out if I told my side of the story! They said they'd put in a good word with the DA for me!"

    sigh

  • Exactly. This wouldn't even be a blip in the news if he weren't a former president. Judges lock people up for contempt all the time for way less than he's already said.

    Most sane people agree you can't tamper with witnesses or threaten prosecutors (or anyone). He just has a loud cult of rabid defenders who would believe the sky was purple if he said it.

  • News @lemmy.world

    New school bus route is a 'disaster,' Kentucky superintendent admits. Last kids got home at 10 pm

  • I don't know what the whole answer would be, but a huge part of it would be whiskey.

  • Hurt my knee cuz I sat down wrong. Had to add "can't tuck my leg behind me when I sit" to the old man list.

  • It's not that anyone had to do anything.

    But if a particular demographic is dying more frequently of a specific cause, it's worth digging into why that's happening. These are people for fucks sake.

  • Never tried meth but I was homeless for a time. I can absolutely see why you'd flock to it if you live on the street.

    It's not safe to sleep, even more so at night. Cops make a habit of stealing/destroying your stuff, and because of that other homeless people steal your shit. It makes you feel invincible, helps you ignore the cold, and 10 bucks keeps you high for 2 days.

    It's all well and good to say don't do drugs, but not having a place can really change your priorities in ways you'd never expect.

  • My favorite part about history is learning how conservatives fucked up things that used to be good.

  • I didn't know that! Neat. I hope it stays a part of the conversation.

  • If conservatives (or dems) were smart they'd lean hard into something like the CCC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps?wprov=sfla1

    Teach young people life skills, lift a whole generation out of poverty, plant and manage forests, fix up our infrastructure... So much could be done. A modern, environment-focused CCC would be revolutionary, and I would bet whoever runs with some form of that idea first sweeps the following elections.

  • She's free to step down at anytime, then she'll never have to worry about any marriages.

  • Also fostering, if it would be a good fit, too.

  • You know it's very easy to get a bow and arrow right? Even if you're a felon with mental health problems.

    Live your dreams.

  • I'd maybe haul a ton of potatoes for a thousand pounds.

    Sure as shit not tilling, fertilizing, planting, watering, maintaining, picking, hauling, and selling that many potatoes for that kind of money.

    There's a reason big ag is so dominant, and it's (partially) because their margins are so insane a small farmer can't easily break into the market.

  • Seems like a blatant violation of the first amendment.

    Peacefully assembling to share a meal isn't speech? Who the fuck says all these people aren't my friends and family?

  • Stuff can also be funny twice.

    Like sure I'm not gonna repost something knowingly but I'll chuckle at this the next time I see it.

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    My job incorrectly thinks I'm Native American, should I tell them?
