Asking this question every single week.

I think the issue is with normalizing unhealthy bodies. idc how you look as long as you're healthy, but society is becoming increasingly accepting of obviously unhealthy lifestyles and bodies. It's no better than anorexia.

No. The repentance of each individual sin is not required either as shown in the Lord's Prayer. "Forgive us our debts/trespasses" shows that we can simply ask God to forgive us in general, although it is good to ask forgiveness for individual sins for our own reflection.

Classic Democrats, saying that blacks are too dumb to be able to vote for anybody except them.

Just so you know, newspapers used to be pretty terrible in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were ripe with exaggerations and sometimes downright lies. The issue with TikTok and social media in general is how easy it is for absolute idiots to spread lies and harmful information to children (and naïve adults).

Here's an article on the topic from the New York Public Library.

Average lemmy user

The only good option here is to imprison/kill the rioters. It's not like there's only 2 options in this scenario.

The exception now is that people go into 80k debt expecting to easily pay that off with a job that matches their major. If they switch to something more fulfilling, there's a chance that they won't make enough to pay it off in a timely manner. The main thing this applies to is engineering.

My AC would have to be on 24/7 to be at 69.

The Concorde was a "luxury boondoggle for the rich" and it failed hard. Nobody wants a repeat of that which is why the new goal for supersonic travel is to become cheap and quiet.

I'm assuming you live in a place with an egregious cost of living, which is not the majority of America. My family has never made more than 70k in a good year, yet lives comfortably in a home bought 15 years ago in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

The vast majority of the population is not struggling. Too many are, but that doesn't mean they make up the majority.

Same here. I don't trust myself to work productively at home.

Slavery most definitely is allowed by the Jewish and Christian God. Genocide is much trickier, as there is still debate about certain wording and whether or not genocide actually happened at the time. Overall, the consensus is that genocide is bad at current times either because all genocide is bad or because God does not condone current genocides.

Honda Accord. I'm currently driving a 98 with 240,000 and looking to hopefully get 300,000.

Lemmy's not an alternative to Twitter, it's an alternative to Reddit. It's not even terribly great at that either because of Reddit's sheer size.

All the information I want is usually old and the only way I get to the information is through Google.

It's an indie game and they would have to hire new voice actors. Frankly, it doesn't matter in the slightest.

This isn't what most houses are like in the US. Sure, there's a lot like them, but places that don't have a strong HOA (most places) become very diverse after a while. My home was built in the 60s and was initially very similar to the ones around it. Over time each house gets changed little by little and every house becomes unique.

The Finals was created by former BF devs so they got beat at their own game.

There isn't. That doesn't mean that this isn't a noble cause, but come on. There's no point in using the Constitution as the deciding factor of all that is good.

Really? Every other country is exponentially worse? I can't think of anything that, say, Jordan or even Iraq does worse than Israel.

How is supporting men's mental health and advocating for them in ways they are often overlooked (such as in single fatherhood) bad?

You're right, it doesn't. That's why there's a minister for women.

I am not clicking those links.

Ah, but they were actually great this time.

I like Ike.

Certainly. The point is that it's mainly younger people and people transitioning between stages of their life who are suffering most from the cost of living crisis.

Have you tried FO3? It came before NV and might draw you in more because the locations in it are far more iconic. I like it a bit better in some ways as well.

We continue to yell. Tradition is important in my family.

Not on console :(

My Moto G Stylus 5g (terrible name) is quite good. I can't fathom buying a high-range phone when my $300 one has more processing power than I have ever used, including when playing games.

I'm a manchild so I like how big it is. The camera fits my purposes tbh.

I don't think it should be an instance decision. The best part about the fediverse is that we can pick and choose what we want to see.

I'd say that the vast majority of people on Twitter couldn't care less about Elon Musk himself. However, Twitter is actually going downhill now and the only ads I see anymore are either hardcore porn or scams. That's what's going to drive people off Twitter.

There is literally no other realistic alternative too it; they're simply all too small. I still follow many trusted news sources and politicians on it as well as fandoms.

The Empire was the most powerful nation to ever exist. The Republic was merely a bunch of rich people who thought they were great.

What options are there really other than capitalism, communism, and everything that mixes the two?
