It’s a national problem, but policies that affect housing are mostly local. So you need to override local control with state/federal policy, or convince a 50,000 municipalities to change their laws.
And the few states that have passed reforms for zoning, etc. are getting sued to shit in court by the city/towns.
This problem was 50 years in the making, it would take more than 50 years to fix.
most proms are held in a the gym with a shitty dj and shitty catered food. but you’re not gonna see that portrayed in media. parents drop them off, there are no limos.
because the rules only apply to bad people. good people don’t need no rules!
ok, now we have moved to ‘if you don’t volunteer you are less than as a person.’
seriously, volunteering has zero to do with one’s moral worth in life. tons of good people never volunteer. lots of shitheads do. volunteering isn’t some inherently moral/good act. lots of people volunteer for shitty reasons and do shitty things.
the reality is that incompetent managers love to blame their employees for not doing shit they never told them to do.
That isn’t true at all. Plenty of volunteers are shitty people.
A group I was recently with just had a huge scandal because someone who joined had a sexual offender records and we were working with kids… he basically fucked everyone over and the entire org had to stop operations for months until every member clear background checks.
My father was a great anti-role model.
I tried my hardest to not be like him and his shittiness.
it’s usually simpler than that. conservatives pay more than liberals.
i know a few leftists who have now gone hard right… because they got paid more to spout conservative conspiracy nonsense than they did liberal/socialist stuff.
Truth on lemmy gets downvoted. It’s really that simple. Most of our Nukes are the same age as our grandparents at this point. Our ICBMs are running on 5.25" floppy disks from the 70s. All this shit is OLD and desperately needs modernization for safety and security.
But if the headline was 'USA to replace ICE nukes with EV nukes" it would be upvoted and celebrated.

Yeah, let’s just let China take over the world and nuke us when we get uppity.
they are building, fewer, better bombs, to replace the old ones that qualify for AARP/social security.
bingo. they require attention and effort and you might get something out of them…
social media… is designed to require neither… just like reality tv or candy crush… which are junk.
and same with food. a good meal requires attention and effort to make… cup o noodles requires almost none, but has very little nutritional value beyond hitting your salt and fat receptors.
pretty much.
people who have it seem to be convinced everyone else has it. it’s a cognitive bias. just like white folks think racism isn’t real because they don’t experience it.
vast majority of people do not care about having a ‘setup’. they are bike bicycle nerds who will spend tons of time and money to get their ‘bike fit’ right. a proper bike setup is for people who spend $1000s on bikes, not your average consumer who spends under $500 and sees a bicycle as a toy.
they go to walmart, or a bike shop, buy the cheapest bike that looks cool, and ride it. and then stop riding it because it hurts their butt/back/wrists, or they just get bored of it.
you aren’t supposed to sit on the saddle over bumps. you lift up your butt and use your knees/hips to as the suspension.
A properly fitted bike saddle should not make you sore during normal use.
Most folks who ride a bike ride a crappy soft foam saddle that makes your butt sore after more than 10m of use.
Good saddles cost over $50+, most folks are buying entire bikes that cost about $100-200… on which the saddle costs $5-10.
sounds like you only focus on pop culture bullshit.
try getting into shit that isn’t designed to entertain you. classics, art films, art music, etc
yeah? and? every single medical procedure and drug you take comes with risks as well.
Where I live the people in the towns with 5 million dollar home think those of us in the 1 million dollar homes are a criminal element that will invade their town.
