‘If passed by the Senate and signed into law, the bill would broaden the legal definition of antisemitism to include the “targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity.’"...
While I’ve never seen that on reddit (I wasn’t very active in global politics subs on there), I completely believe there’s people saying that sort of thing. And I apologize for making a comment that kinda denies that kind of bias exists -it wasn’t my intention but it definitely happened.
Lemmy is my first time encountering the term and, well, we’ve got a few apologists for the Chinese government around.
I traveled around Central Florida quite a bit as a kid, I’ve never seen the Midwest style fireflies. I have seen a glowy luminescent bug in Florida though, it was like a glow stick green and had a constant light rather than a flash. Super weird looking.
Want to put gas in your car? Ads. That talk and there’s no way to silence them.
Oh, no, wait, that one is real. Are they everywhere yet? I haven’t driven a car in several years. But I definitely remember that was real dystopian shit, similar to how I felt when I started getting ads in Windows.
Florida has tons of pools too, and I actually got swimming lessons in elementary school, we had mini field trips for a week walking to a community pool and teaching everyone to, at a minimum, float on their back and tread water.
Wow, you’re subscribed to way fewer communities than I am, I’ve got over a dozen posts between this one and the possum. Most of them I wouldn’t necessarily recommend, but someone posted an otter vid to !aww you might be interested in.
I’m glad shaving hobbyists exist, y’all were a great help when I wanted to replace my Ross clearance safety razor, but I still don’t understand it as a hobby, lol.
I grew up in Florida, where you can buy hard liquor in some gas stations, and now I live in Minnesota, which is now the last state with 3.2 beer - but we got Sunday liquor sales a few years ago (possibly because everyone in the Twin Cities would just go to Wisconsin if they wanted beer on Sunday) and now legal weed. A lot of grocery stores have attached liquor stores and it’s not a big deal, but it’s still silly.
EDIT: we also passed a right to repair law last year. We’re flat Colorado for cheap!
I used to live in a small Minnesota town and the only liquor store was run by the city. The prices were reasonable for how rural we were, and apparently some of the profits helped with city expenses. However, there was a grocery store 15 years ago or so that apparently wanted to open in the town and also have it’s own liquor store, but the town denied their permits for the liquor store for officially unclear reasons, lol.
Getting someone else to buy it isn’t actually the only way kids get it in states with really loose liquor laws - when I was a teen, I heard of a few places, mostly gas stations, that never carded. Eventually they got busted by the cops, but they sold a lot of booze to my friends before that happened. I don’t think that’s justification for exclusively state run liquor stores though. But I bet the people working at government run stores get better benefits and more stable hours than the ones working for private businesses…

And that $0.37 raise is on the high end for Target. The lowest is $0.10, and a certain percentage of employees have to get the lowest - so Target is literally nickel and dimeing some of their hardest workers.
My high school did a terrible job with teaching about it, I think it was mentioned briefly but with no real detail. I did go to high school in Florida, but I graduated in 2008 before things got really bad there.

I’ve won NaNoWriMo twice and I can confirm that writing your own does not necessarily result in a cool or coherent story. One of the two is likely better than an LLM could come up with, though.
