A Far-Right Court Just Admitted a Truth That Abortion Foes Want to Hide
I remember going through Roe v. Wade in law school and thinking how shaky the legal foundation was. This is a great case study of why we need to formally adopt laws in congress and not just rely on the whims of the court.

Getting older rule
I’m 31, I was most conservative in my teens when I was in a private Christian high school in the south. Then I went to college, worked at a jail, went to law school, and in the process learned about the world and the people in it.
I am still astonished at the people who have done similar things and still don’t have an ounce of compassion for the poor and struggling. Conservative values only make sense when your sense of self only encompasses you, your family, and your religion. Once you realize that you are a part of something bigger, and the gay Hindu man and the black Muslim woman has the same consciousness and feelings as you it’s a lot harder to think of them as enemies or pitiful souls who need to be saved.
When you realize that people are people, and we are all the same, but for our circumstances, then it’s impossible to be conservative.

We learned just how small Valve really is this year, but also how good it is at raking in the cash: It's making more money per employee than Apple

They do provide a good service. There’s no subscription fee. They maintain delisted games so you can download games you bought years ago that are no longer available. Not to mention steam OS and other projects like the steam deck that put pressure on other gaming companies to do better.
This could go up in a cloud of smoke at any point and it likely will as soon as Gabe passes on and the in fighting begins. So this is a “good king” situation and the system itself will not be sustainable long term by any means.

Anon goes to the gym for the first time
Chad peaked in high school and has a beer gut now. Gym bros were often losers in school who turned it around after they graduated.

... would YOU download a plant?
This is likely to prevent people from cutting the plants and later saying they picked up a fallen bit.

exploding-heads are infiltrating our discussions
IMO the best defense is education. Make these people and their bigotry known. I had not heard of them before this post, but now I can be on alert for them, and avoid interacting with them and report them in the future.

Fetterman shows his own integrity. The news is trying to impute his integrity to all dems because of the upcoming election cycle.

Some people just defend the status quo.
They cant run servers forever. Which is why they should release the server code when they decide to shut down.

How would you seal this gap around kitchen sink plumbing?
You are a landlord, treat it like the business expense it is and hire a contractor.

It's time to admit Lemmy has won the "the biggest reddit alternative" award, why it's time for all of us to consider supporting it (here's why) + reopening r/LemmyMigration
Reply in thread
I get more of an impression that lemmy is full of far left leaning programmers. I think that is a good subset of people to have on a social media platform. But if we had more subs on other topics it should bring in other types of people.

And this is why I don’t care about most small businesses. Unless they are a co-op or a genuine charity the vast majority are run by people like this.

I’m really hoping the federated nature will make advertising harder. That’s what really started making Reddit suck.

British cuisine is like...
Reply in thread
The unseasoned boiled potatoes and the untoasted bread are just bland.
The ground beef and carrots in the undefinable brown liquid would be a textural nightmare. I cannot fathom how it tastes because the closest thing in the US would be a sloppy joe.
The real problem with this is lack of technique and seasoning.
Here’s how I would “fix” this: Toast the bread, roast and season the potatoes, make the ground beef and sauce into a something resembling Salisbury steak, and cook the carrots as their own side dish.
