More than 20 people who were on a Singapore Airlines flight hit by severe turbulence are in intensive care with spinal injuries, the head of a Bangkok hospital has said....
If you aren’t moving to the bathroom, getting luggage, or doing something else that requires you to move and leave your seat: wear your seatbelt. This is why they say to keep it buckled. Unexpected turbulence of this magnitude is rare but can still happen and injure or kill people. It’s also why you have to put non-handheld items away on landing: turbulence or a strong bump can send laptops and such flying into people.
This is just how it’s always worked. It was just easier to convince people to believe in miracles when we didn’t have explanations for everything and video cameras. The church is reaching for coincidences and calling them miracles because that’s the best they can do. I’m just surprised they are still trying to make saints and not just settling for Saint Classic.
The Democratic National Convention, where Biden is to be formally nominated, falls after Ohio’s ballot deadline of Aug. 7. The convention will be held Aug. 19-22 in Chicago.
Since Ohio changed its certification deadline from 60 to 90 days ahead of the general election, state lawmakers have had to adjust the requirement twice, in 2012 and 2020, to accommodate candidates of both parties. Each change was only temporary.
If all the candidates aren’t on the ballot, Congress should not accept their votes for president and toss the entire state out. That’s ridiculous.
First time I approached the gas giant I fell in. I bout pissed myself. If you do go back, I suggest turning off frights for the DLC content. It’s definitely willy-filled in a couple of small parts.
None of the aid that has been unloaded from the temporary pier the US constructed off the coast of Gaza has been delivered to the broader Palestinian population, as the US works with the UN and Israel to identify safe delivery routes inside the enclave, the Pentagon said on Tuesday....
On the issue of Gaza, Biden is dramatically out of touch with the voters he needs to win re-election. If he will not be moved by morality to stop his support of this war, he should be moved by vulgar self-interest. Gaza is not a distant foreign conflict: it is an urgent moral emergency for large swaths of voters. Biden will lose...
Anyone not voting for Biden because of Gaza is a fucking idiot. Trump will be 10x worse for Palestinians. Remember who moved the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. That was designed as a provocation.
There kinda are. Very privileged people who don’t need to pay attention to politics because the fascists aren’t ever targeting them. So they can be clueless and just see the biggest soundbites that make it past political TV. If you haven’t been paying attention to the shitshow, it probably looks a lot tamer. =/
It was a rare case of Trump allies traveling abroad as part of an organized delegation to meet foreign officials. It took place amid strains between Israel and the Biden administration about Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza.
Seems like it could fit the dispute criteria. They are clearly meeting with Israel in preparation for being president.
WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - Several top White House aides say they are confident protests across U.S. college campuses against Israel’s offensive in Gaza will not translate into significantly fewer votes for Joe Biden in November’s election, despite polls showing many Democrats are deeply unhappy about the president’s...
Some do. As a Freshman in college I was an idiot because I was raised on years of conservative talk radio every day to and from school. Took a bit less than a year to realize all that shit was made up and get deprogrammed. Then it’s been a leftward trend ever since.
Belief is irrelevant. PR would always say this to downplay affects and keep supporters engaged. Apathy will kill Biden’s chances more than anything else.
This person needs to hire a cook and get a sex doll. Actually scratch that, door dash. He’s way too fucked to interact with other humans. I feel bad for anyone in his life.
Not all work. Just work you have to do to not starve. We have enough resources to provide a basic living for everyone. We can then use work as an incentive for more luxuries and encourage people to explore the types of work they want to do. Like creative endeavors. Pay more incentive for the work people dislike doing but is still necessary. We’ll figure out what work is actually necessary and what is just spinning wheels.
I’m getting Pixel 8a ads and I usually trade-in my older a if I start having problems or the new one has a feature. 8a finally has wireless charging (7 mightve, was too soon) but it has this bullshit now. Damnit.
Do professors give leniency to an 11 year old in class or are they getting the same experience an 18 year old would get?
If I was going to guess and be pessimistic: her parents were in class with her. She likely wasn’t living on campus at 10-14 and can’t drive so she’s likely escorted.
Also like, 100% of all agriculture and livestock. Fuck. Look at what we did to wolves. If god didn’t want us to fuck around with genetics they wouldn’t have made them malleable.
Whatever linux version is on the Steam Deck wasn’t bad to use when I needed Desktop mode. It was pretty similar experience-wise to windows (no mac experience).
The meme says “American Republicans” so I thought we were considering this from an American pov. Definitions are going to change going to other countries and doubly so when talking about politics.
None of that really matters. The people who can buy big trucks, generally, can afford to. Or at least with debt. Can’t get a $100k car loan if you make minimum wage.
These are all small luxuries that people deserve to have (disagree about trucks, but that’s just an example). Otherwise it’s calling for austerity. Which is something we DON’T need. Not when we have billionaires. If the working class is being asked to tighten their belts, they should instead be looking to the rich who are hoarding the vast majority of wealth.
That being said, we really need to teach young people about finance. It’s completely lacking from modern education: be design. People desperate from credit can’t afford to quit their jobs for a chance at a better one, stand up to their boss, or risk their job by unionizing or demanding safe working conditions.
If your bean juice is burnt, you made it wrong. Turn off the hot plate as soon as it’s done brewing in traditional drip style. Primary cause of burnt coffee.
Exactly. Self sufficiency is definitely a myth. Humans cannot survive alone for long. You simply cannot make tools that will keep you alive for long. You’ll have to venture back to civilization to get anything worked via metal at the very least. Just the basic crafts for clothing, shelter, tools and food is more than any one person can handle. It took whole tribes and villages even at the earliest points.
Now if you mean: how can I live in a cabin off the grid with minimal contact (1-2x a year) then that’s doable.
If we get Trump, I’m fairly certain we won’t have another real national election again. It’ll be like Russia with massive “voter fraud” bills and EOs passed that completely neuter the ability to vote. The treasonous Project 2025 would gut the government and we’ll probably get that Schedule F bullshit that brings back the spoils system.
So while Biden is wonderful (he’s done a bunch of good stuff recently at least), Trump is so far down the fascist ladder there really isn’t any choice. I’m not excited to vote for Biden, I’m terrified of Trump being elected.

Does it fall to the good guys, though? The ones who already don’t rape and stand up to their peers who have toxic ideas?
Yes, precisely. If the majority of men don’t change the culture by standing up for women and against low-key misogyny that’s everywhere then nothing will change and they aren’t really “good guys”.
And, really, are you reaching anyone who needs to hear it with rhetoric like this?
Dunno. But there’s certainly a LOT of misogynists on Lemmy and I’m going to keep pushing back against them. They probably think they’re feminists, too. Quoting bear statistics, saying “not all men”, equivocating gender and race relations, telling women to “tone down” their complains so they don’t alienate rapists and potential rapists.
Sure, not all men, but quite frankly I’m tired of having to be “one of the good ones”.
Lol, don’t fret. With an attitude like that, you aren’t.

We aren’t talking about race, honey. If they think you can just swap labels you REALLY don’t understand what’s going on. No surprise.
