Not all heritages are best to save. What would General Lee himself say both about trying to glorify that past as well as having statues to the losing side? I'll bet supporters either don't know, or aren't honest enough to admit they do know.
GOP jokes aren't ever funny, usually have someone else's misfortune as the base of the punchline, and "it was just a joke" is often used as an excuse when they get called out for being evil.
But you're probably right and it was just a bad pun taken out of context. Just a weird one since they preach state's rights and small federal government all the time and yet renaming a state is a total authoritarian move. I guess they're okay with it as long as it's not their state, or as long as it's still a "joke".
After Donald J. Trump tallied victories in Texas, California and 12 other states, Nikki Haley was expected to drop out of the presidential race, according to people familiar with her plans. She was set to deliver remarks in Charleston, S.C., at 10 a.m. Eastern.
I guess we've forgotten his many suggestions on using nukes on other countries and even hurricanes, and that brief moment where he played "mine is bigger than yours" with North Korea. Totally peaceful guy.
The justices ruled that the 14th Amendment did not allow states to bar the former president from the ballot. The justices gave different reasons, but the decision was unanimous.
Solar panels (PV) degrade over time and use and have to be replaced and disposed of. A better case would be for things like solar furnaces that are simpler, but most of the time solar implies PV panels.
There's been a definite uptick on spam bots lately, all Kbin users. I've been reporting them as I see them while browsing new, but it gets tedious. Sorry about the report spam, mods. Does the new user registration need to be tightened up any?
It's people from the North driving in the South, with the sudden realization that the snow that fell and started to melt yesterday refroze and isn't snow anymore. Anyone can drive on snow...but snow doesn't stay snow in the South.
This also applies to any Jeep/4x4 drivers who seem to think physics works different for them.
This feels like a stupid question, but there's plenty of techniques out there that more expert coders use that I don't know about.

A very good "normal" example of body modification, just not as permanent. And there are degrees to that as well...I've seen lipstick colors that just enhance the lip color and give a sheen that I don't think twice about, but even my favorite celebrities look off putting to me when made up "heavily". I'm a bit on OP's side as far as preferring the natural look, although minor studs or a small tattoo somewhere don't catch my attention in a negative way, if I even notice.
Oil change, had to drop the round metal filter with I think 6 nuts. Don't forget to get a new gasket. Valve clearance adjustment, a constant regular thing with these. Not hard, just tedious and sometimes the spring holding each valve cover on could be a pain to pop loose. Transmission level check (that was fun). I loved my Beetles, learned a lot about car maintenance (by necessity lol) but I wouldn't have another at my age now.
I have old Facebook and Twitter accounts, maybe some others. I’m old so there’s a MySpace account out there. But I’ve mostly been using reddit the last decade or so, and have migrated to Lemmy. Now, Lemmy is the only social media i use. Recent news got me thinking about this question.
That feels like a privacy issue, maybe related to the topic of whether or not they can force you to unlock your phone? I don't know where the current law is on that.
Guns are regulated. How much regulation, who gets allowed, what types of guns, and if the regulations are being enforced, those are the real questions. This warrant and shooting is a result of a law that wasn't enforced well, as they had already broken the law once and yet someone sold/gave them guns again.
I did comment that enforcement seemed to be part of the problem here, yes. Do the laws need to be more strict? I doubt that will fix any enforcement, since that's the failure.
Recycled water isn't directly toilet water, so the title is misleading to bias the react and get the click. Isn't much of urban water already recycled to some degree? And in reality, all water is "second hand" and has been somewhere else in its history on this planet. It's only a question of it being processed naturally or otherwise to be potable to drink.
Let's focus on the chemicals we've put into the world's water that can't easily (or at all) be filtered out. Toilet water is not the problem.
Languages change over time. As long as the intent is clear, don't get hung up on what is and isn't "correct". "You're welcome" probably was seen as extreme at some point itself.

The 6 foot distancing that wasn't really ever followed well was a compromise to keep things open for the economy while pretending we're doing something. What amazes me is how there wasn't any mandate to require air filtration at key points in places with crowds - like a Corsi-Rosenthal box, the DIY stores could have had these in the front with a how-to-build and they would have made tons of profit while supplies lasted. I guess 6-foot stickers and signage was easier and cheaper. Remember when some stores tried to go further and enforce one way aisles?
The system is broken at the core. A vote for a third party in a voting system that doesn't allow third parties to win doesn't seem to be a viable answer. Even if I thought she was a good candidate.
