Think of the children!

Well yeah but you have those long wait times to deal with right?

Here in America, I only had to wait 4 weeks for a video conference (in-person would have been 6 weeks) with my primary care physician so she could recommend me to a specialist that doesn't have any openings until mid-August. Thank goodness I live in the land of the free where I only have to wait 3 months to see a doctor who has about a 20% chance to cancel on me last minute due to a "scheduling issues" and leave me hanging for another 4-8 weeks.

AND I get to pay for some of it out of pocket despite paying monthly for better than average medical insurance!

Satanists to volunteer in Florida schools in protest at DeSantis religious bill

Reply in thread

I think that was meant to be tongue in cheek. The article also says:

There are, however, no plans to introduce studies of the dark arts or satanic rituals to any classroom. The Satanic Temple champions Satan not as a literal, omnipresent demon, but as a symbol of rebellion and resistance to authoritarianism. It says its strategy here is to highlight flagrant violations of the constitutionally protected separation of church and state.

Advertising Lemmy on r/place

The reason they are bringing back r/place right now is obvious. They are luring people like OP back in so they can say, "Look at how high our engagement is even after the API changes" then push forward their IPO. This post is exactly what Spez wants.

Pretty sound reasoning here.

A lot of people in that thread have never seen Looney Tunes. If they did, they would have learned 3 vital facts about physics:

  1. A finger in the barrel of a gun will stop a bullet and cause the gun to explode.

  2. Gravity cannot effect you until you acknowledge that you are not on solid ground.

  3. Being crushed by a heavy object falling from a great height (think and anvil or piano) will cause to to collapse like an accordion until you are re-inflated.

These are basic scientific facts everyone should know in the modern age.

others will become a customer if the price is right.

This is me 100%. I was a huge pirate back in the day. As streaming services grew, I slowly stopped pirating. Netflix and Hulu had enough content to keep me entertained for $20/month. Now there's too many streamers, commercial free prices are rising close to $20 each, and each service only has a handful of things I want to watch. The open water is looking more tempting every day.
