Oh no! Anyway...

I was stretching it a bit but this is from Jesus:

Matthew 22:30 (NIV Bible)

“At the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.”

I used to be pretty big into Reddit. I haven't been back in almost a year except a couple of google search results. I do notice a difference though. There is less diversity in expressed thoughts here. I don't miss the doomscrolling though, I can run out of new content here and I like that.

I got the same response when I was helping a neighbor who needed electric repairs and had to shut off all of his power for a week. A cop saw an extension cord running between our very close homes and at least he warned us to disconnect immediately and if they saw it again they'd shut off our power.

Neither the RNC or the DNC have any obligation to run their primaries truly democratically and they know it and flex it all the time. RIP Bernie.

Yeah after 25 years of zero dentist visits I have my first toothache this week. I'll never financially recover from this.

The consequence of living in Russia is you will die in occupied Ukraine.

I'm among the many who have a Standard Issue Cat.

He's unquestionably a rapist, but he is not a convicted rapist.

The US does the same thing. People need to push back. Hard.

We still don't have affordable alternatives for areas where there is no public transportation or non-car options. A lot of people are barely paying their bills and can't even consider buying an electric car right now. Not that electric cars are really the answer either. We have a long way to go from where I stand.

Getting rid of cars is generations away in the US, at minimum.

Everyone hates Rand Paul but he voted no on this, as did others on the left and the right. Fuck fascism and fuck left authoritarianism.

There is no situation where calling the cops can't make it worse.

Oh police will show up eventually and you'll wish they hadn't. There's no situation that police can't make worse.

I took a placebo when I saw this post and I can't believe how high I am right now. I did eat a couple of edibles though too.

I had 9 months saved in 2020. I'm taking out loans this month because it's at zero. It's been a hell of a ride. This economy is fucked though.

There were actually no homeless Boomers during the great depression.

I saw an article posted on Facebook yesterday about the five guys burgers and fries price complaints, and it quoted word for word comments I saw on a thread here on Lemmy the day before that.

Oh man I work with a food pantry that serves a weekly free meal and we've been trying to get a commercial fire suppression system for many months now. The county and township have been making it as difficult and slow as possible. And really expensive.

People have fought many wars to not have to recognize kings. We're standing on their shoulders. Maybe the UK will catch up someday. In the meantime, let's dethrone ALL of the billionaires.

I upvote and downvote for the silliest of reasons all the time. Don't overthink everything. Not everything is a value statement.

The Canadian and the American "left" are center authoritarians at the top. And the right's leaders are fascists. There is no anti-authoritarian voice at the ballot box so we have to cast that vote by other means.

There are a handful of progressives in the Democratic party, against the party's wishes.

There's no problem you can't make worse by calling the police.

Because I have opposable thumbs and have successfully eaten thousands of burritos without tape.

A coaster that size would cost millions and millions so it is a very expensive poorly chosen gesture.

There are few things in the world more satisfying than a real heavy duty tranny. I mean the kind that can take you from zero to blasting you back in your seat with more horsepower than you've ever experienced, and then do it again and again.

I don't see anything wrong with gesundheit. It means health. And really I feel like the German expression is just saying - be healthy dammit, and stop sneezing!

And then the rebuilding costs were all passed along to their customers.

This is the conversation everyone should have with police when they demand ID.

I wish they'd realize faster.

Saving lives is one of the few things I support our tax dollars being used for.

I've literally never heard of this guy outside of Reddit (haven't been back since they killed RIF) and here. These articles do more to make him relevant than the other way around like it should be.

Cops never keep people safe. They keep property safe.

There's actually a registry of cops who have been shown to lie so that their testimony can be disregarded. I hope there's someone out there who makes this happen for this cop.

Can't ride a bicycle in my area without very insanely high risk of death. You don't see bikes on roads at all. None of my kids know how to ride. Ive ridden vast distances though. Makes me very sad.

Wages aren't keeping up with inflation for most people. The wage increases reported are mostly driven by top earners. It isn't moving at the bottom. Longer lines than ever at food pantries. I remember when Democrats used to at least pretend to give a shit about that stuff.

And transportation. And repairs of anything. And property taxes. And insurance. And...

I like my human sous vide
