And other states give them public money 🫠

Can you elaborate on the over-the-top self-belief humor?

That bit you quoted shows just how entitled and out of touch the phantom writer is. Who the fuck cares if marriage is "threatened"?

Pretty sure there's tons of people living happy lives without marriage. It's not the 1950s anymore and that doesn't need to be the ultimate goal for everyone.

The magpie of mammals.

\3. Pay hasn't kept up with civilian work.

\4. They stopped offering student loan repayment as a benefit.

Nightmare question, but did they just tie the toilet into the existing floor drain?!?!?

/s?

Yes. Exactly. You can always tell when they all use the same examples or if the story sounds too perfect.

I'm sure there ARE people that have found ways to take advantage of the system. But are those outliers enough of a reason to dismantle the whole system? It sounds like we have ways of finding those individuals if we found them in order to parade those cases around.

I'm happy to pay into a safety net that works to end domestic hunger. Who the fuck cares if .005% goes to some assholes.

Pretty sure the asshole to charity ratio is a lot higher in corporate bailouts, the state taxes that go to "crisis pregnancy" centers, public tax school vouchers for private schools, rich dickbag tax loopholes, wage theft, etc. etc. Let's go find those wankers instead of harassing a bunch of hungry people and making them jump through hoops. The administration of those hoops probably costs more than the scammers.

You're right. Let's go ahead and remove all the naked statues from museums, the paintings of naked people, any media mentioning rape, abuse, or even normal teens having sex, and any hint that lgbtq people existed before Will and Grace.

So happy my children are protected from all this porn! Sure hope they remember how protected from porn they are if they happen to be in the 1/3 of people who are sexually abused before the age of 18 and have no way to know what happened, how to deal with it, or how to find support.

Left them on read

Took the words out of my mouth.

I oppose the death penalty but if it's happening regardless, then at least let's be humane.

I'm sure if you got in touch with the lemmy.world team and they made sure you weren't sketchy, they would help you get what you need to effectively find the root of the issues.

Also, hello from a less-experienced, not-sure-if-I-can-call-myself-a-data-engineer-yet data... person? Props for considering lending a hand to the instance!
