The two officers face felony charges of abandoning and endangering a child[.]
As long as it’s pre-birth, and excluding any prenatal care because that might benefit the mother.
Sending this to my neurotic wife. It’s going to bother her now.
I disagree. Lemmy is more resistant to bots because there’s no perverse incentive to boost user activity numbers to please investors and advertisers. Reddit for example doesn’t really care if most comments are fake on a post. It’s still interaction and it pumps numbers. Lemmy is built and run by us. It serves no other masters.
Given that users naturally self-sort into instances, your trolls are also more likely to congregate on instances and communities that can be blocked. I don’t want to name any names but I do block some instances from my view for a reason. The Russian bots congregate in places that are amenable to this, and the design of Lemmy encourages this self-sorting into places where you’re accepted.
The problem is still significant, but there are advantages to the fediverse.
The student has surpassed the master.
Very cool, but as someone who has difficulty swallowing pills, I doubt I could get that down. Maybe if my life depended on it.
Easy and widespread access to guns plus no functioning mental (or otherwise) healthcare system is as lovely a combo as projectile vomiting plus explosive diarrhea.
You’re gonna have a bad time.
I was born ready to go full cyborg. I am not impressed with the meat.
The deception is that the item presented for vote appears to be about illegal voting of non-citizens, but this isn’t related to the actual law being voted upon.
The cruelty is the point, as usual. Making the world worse is OK as long as it hurts other Americans I don’t like.
It’s my preferred, however, almost anything that moves away from the one-choice, winner-takes-all design is an easy win IMHO.
This year, the Missouri General Assembly passed a deceptive measure that could actually make it harder for us to hold our leaders accountable. You will see this measure on your November ballot, claiming that it stops noncitizens from voting — even though that has been illegal for a century. It’s an unnecessary and misleading proposal, but without Missourians reading the fine print, it may very well pass — based on a lie.
One of the simplest examples is called “pick-all-you-like” or approval voting: When voters go to the ballots, they can choose any number of candidates they support, rather than being forced to settle on one option.
Unfortunately, the legislature’s trick measure in November would take away your choice to hold leaders accountable by hiding what’s really on the ballot. It’s a deceptive attack on local control.
I’m a fleshy human being who took out some quotes manually.
It’ll be reason N why the salesperson needs to go to the back to discuss my offer with the manager.
Thing that experts working in the effected field overwhelmingly predicted would happen, actually happens. Voters stunned.
Funny I thought these people had an issue with tax dollars being used to pay for certain services they don’t agree with.
Not really, because the rental market does not behave like commodities do. Generally, you have to live within a reasonable distance of employment. For this and other reasons, renters are much more vulnerable and tend to get exploited far beyond the cost of the service.
Basically, if tenants had any more money to exploit, they would already take it. Rents are maximally high wherever possible to extract maximum money from people who need a place to live.
Consider the common joke that I pay this much in rent every month but the bank says I can’t afford a house where the mortgage would be substantially less.
It’s way of dressing up expenses to fit our criminally low corporate tax structure.
It’s a special kind of fucked up that the government is paid for by the poor to serve the interests of the wealthy.
Indeed. Nothing about this addresses rental markets and general extreme cost of living. Rather, it finds new ways to prop up severely overvalued housing markets.
Housing costs are so high because it’s become an investment over a necessary place for a human to live. A correction is severely needed and long overdue, but the government works hard to keep values artificially high from zoning laws at the bottom to preventing corrections at the top.
I’ve always thought having proprietary drivers was really weird. Don’t you want people to maintain your code for free?
