Well I’m hoping to live in a world where banks don’t provide loans anymore. I’m demanding a better world than this nightmare that is unregulated capitalism in the US.
I’m demanding a better world than any economic system that incentivizes and rewards screwing each other over and hurting one another in a race to get ahead.
Yeah, and now that Musk is unpopular with conservatives, Trump will still use Musk to buy elections but we just won’t hear about it (if they’re smart).
Loans with interest rates above inflation are weapons. They are violence. Why should we all have to pay more than something is worth for our education, our transportation, our housing? Why are we paying directly for these things at all?
Government should be providing all this for its people. Higher education should be provided. Starter housing should be provided. Public transportation should be provided.
Ricky Gervais is transphobic garbage.
To be fair, it seems like Mexico should have never allowed this toxic dust to be brought into their country in the first place. It sounds like there is no safe way to extract zinc from this dust?
But if that’s the case, the US shouldn’t be allowed to sell it to other countries either.
Some american flags in L.A. are probably currently on fire. I wonder if Trump is going to claim all Californians are terrorists who proudly burn the flag and hate America.
I’m not sure, but I bet someone is losing their mind over this problem!
Some estimates put conventional CD and DVD lifespans at 25 years, however they can last decades longer than that if they are stored away from UV light, and stored in a moderate temp and humidity controlled location. Their lifespan also largely depends on the quality of the manufacturing process from the factory.
Under similar conditions, blu-rays are estimated to last around 100 years, and blu-rays that use non-organic dye layers (such as M-disc) can reportedly last 1000 years or more.
As moisture finds a way between the layers, the disc will degrade. Too much bending or flexing of a disc will encourage separation of the layers.

Isn’t weed the same way? I can always smell it on people who smoke it. It might not be quite as ‘sticky’ as cigarette smoke?, but I can still smell it on people’s clothes until they are washed, or in their house or car.
Pets don’t want this. Don’t do stuff like this to pets for internet points or real money.

They absolutely will, as soon as the media spotlight is off them. Or, they’ll come up with an alternative cut to the health plans that’s even more cruel and profitable. It is what the system demands.
That’ll create a martyr for sure.
Even in this comment, you didn’t offer an alternative for “biological male”
I absolutely did: “trans woman”.
I was educating. It’s 2024 and trans people are dying and having their basic human rights taken away, due in part to the pervasive rhetoric I originally called out. I expect better of people, and transphobic comments on lemmy are not welcome and break the rule of civility in the lemmy.world news community.
Also, you’re telling me - a trans person - that they are virtue signaling about trans issues.
It’s not virtue signaling. The language the other person used is what the republicans constantly say when they are describing trans women because they don’t believe trans women are women, and it’s used to take away the rights of trans people, and it’s working.
There are plenty of ways to say that she isn’t cis and doesn’t have a uterus while being respectful – like I just did.
I’m as left as they come, but the virtue signaling you just did is why so many people get so turned off by so much rhetoric of our political side.
I think you want the trans community and its allies to not confront you on dangerous rhetoric then, while they constantly have to fight people on the left and right to keep from having their rights stripped away.
Being an ally means being open to learning when we make mistakes, and the language the other person used wasn’t appropriate. I hope you and others here can understand why.
Calling trans women biological males is transphobic hate speech. Not allowed here.
Lol…that’s funny and also so depressing.
