Let's compare:

  • The number of LGBT+ people murdered by conservatives for their sexual or gender identity

Versus

  • The number of conservatives murdered by the LGBT+ community for their speaking out against the LGBT+ world

Oh, shut up. There's nothing about discussing the underlying factors that contributed to this woman's death that is in any way disrespectful to the memory of the victim.

If I were to become a deceased victim, be it of crime, disease, or accident, I would want my death to be looked at enough to see if we can find ways to prevent others from suffering my same fate. To do less would be to negate the value behind my passing.

Less false piety, more conversations.

Stop giving attention to this geriatric shock jock. Headlines like these are his goals. Leave him to fester in his Truth Social echo chamber and stop giving him this oxygen.

I dunno, the biggest viral sensations I've seen in the past few years all feature very identifiable people. I think we're starting to move past the 4chan era of anonymous memelord content.

Rehabilitation doesn't mean the perpetrator won't spend years separated from society, just that the perp's sequestration happens in a setting meant to enable him/her to return to society in the distant future, assuming the perp becomes a changed person.

All capitalism is, at its core, is the system of owning and investing capital for greater returns later. You can have that while regulating things--at least in theory.

Eh, I learned it primarily by word of mouth from gardening enthusiasts who are buying homes. But here's one article about the phenomenon: https://www.hgtv.com/outdoors/gardens/planting-and-maintenance/when-to-test-garden-soil-for-lead-contamination-and-how-to-garde

I don't have a lot of statistics to back it up except that it seems worse on the East Coast and Rust Belt

I went into a startup job. It's not a con because everyone knows that your job is less secure, and employers have to figure out how to incentivize their employees to be willing to stick around. Absolutely zero people were under the impression a startup job would be secure in the long run.

If you're in a good startup, it can be a great way to take some of that venture capital funding as your wages. If you're in a bad one, at least job hopping isn't that rare so you can just move on to your next job and it's a normal thing.

Our world is shaped by those capitalists, but that doesn't mean these jobs are a con.

Electricity costs money unfortunately

As far as lawns go, thanks to lead paint and leaded gasoline from the mid-20th century, that land isn't even one you'd consider suitable for growing food unless your house was built after the 1980s. At least, as long as you're trying to avoid getting lead in your produce.

Really feels like our grandparents' generation did a lot to fuck over our current generation. So many of these issues trace back to when even the Boomers were children.

Comparable? Not really. The i3, Leaf, and Bolt didn't have the same fast charging capability or range as the Model 3, and luxury brands are out of reach for the average consumer.

The vehicles that are actually putting out comparable specs had their first model years in 2021 (Ford, VW) or 2022 (Hyundai and Kia).
