It must be one of those “behavioral” boarding school type places. How these are still legal in America in 2024 is a mystery. There’s hardly one of them that doesn’t have some kind of abuse or neglect reported.
Temecula is a shitshow, partly from all the recent construction. But it already has 5 lanes, and even more once you get to the 215 split. I never even see anyone on the toll roads (by comparison to the main freeway) south of Temecula, so if that’s what they’re putting in, maybe they should charge less if they actually expect people to use them.
After 33 years and four children, Baby Boomers Marta and Octavian Dragos say they feel trapped in what was once their dream home in El Cerrito, California....
I’ve seen a lot of posts here on Lemmy, specifically in the “fuck cars” communities as to how Electric Vehicles do pretty much nothing for the Climate, but I continue to see Climate activists everywhere try pushing so, so hard for Electric Vehicles....
They already don’t have rights, but the laws are different from city to city. In some places they can’t be fed in public and people get arrested for giving them food. They can’t be on the sidewalk. They’re obviously not allowed to fall asleep as long as they’re unhoused. Plus parking restrictions created specifically to prevent car camping. Taking trash from dumpsters is considered theft. You can’t use a restroom without buying something and cities have taken out all or most public bathrooms, so it becomes a crime just to relieve themselves. Idk, the list is pretty endless.
I thought the church was in Wisconsin and didn’t get where Ohio came in. The church and pastor are in Ohio, but the author is making a connection to the recent hypothermia deaths in Milwaukee.
Scientology seems to get away with it fairly often. And all those holy roller type christian churches bringing conservative politics into their services despite their tax exempt status. But this is where we draw the line - keeping people from dying of hypothermia.
Inside sources within Asante have since disclosed details surrounding the reported deaths, per NBC5 News. It is alleged that up to 10 patients died of infections contracted at the hospital....
Thank you. There’s apparently been a fine line between promoting body acceptance and shitting on thin body types. Some people seem to think it’s not even a natural body type at all and anyone who’s thin is just anorexic. It’s like we’ve been completely left out of the equation unless we’re being looked down on. Yeah, I’m right there with you on this.
It’s a reference to the fact that energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed into a different form.
“The way I interpret this comment is” if this is all there is to it, then we should all be the same weight all the time, apparently.
It’s amazing what people think they can “interpret” about another whole entire anonymous human being they know literally nothing about, other than “thin.”
These comments are totally proving the OC’s point though.

It was almost $40 just to renew my DL in my county. I swear it wasn’t as much in the last county I lived in, but it was just insane.
There’s usually discount programs for low-income folks, but the interesting part is needing proof of being low-income. Sometimes homeless shelters will transport people and help them fill out the paperwork and they have vouchers for the fee.
It’s crazy that all of that is needed when every data broker and arm of the government knows what you had for breakfast yesterday, but you still have to jump through this many hoops yourself to get something with your name on it.
There’s a whole bunch of comments explaining how low-income people aren’t able to do those things either, especially banking, and how that adds to the cycle of poverty. For anyone actually interested in an answer about what life is like for impoverished working people in the US, I would recommend reading Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich and Evicted by Matthew Desmond. The level of poverty that exists in America generally is, and should be, shocking to the average American. I really hope the Amish comment is a joke because it’s so so incredibly wrong.
And destroying the desert landscape in the process. Let’s add hundreds of miles of high speed rail on top of I-15, the miles of freight rail, old mines, new lithium mining, all the military bases, and all the solar and wind farms to the delicate biosphere that hasn’t changed in a million years. Awesome.
