I’m from Georgia. But I’m from Atlanta which is a big city. Obviously she’s a nut job. She’s from a tiny tiny district that has only like 10,000 people.
This is the result of gerrymanding such that you get heavily concentrated districts and have insane people who run unopposed.
She does NOT represent the entire state. We voted for Biden and have two democratic senators. We are very “purple” but trending blue.
The good thing is we are fighting the good fight here. It’s somewhat exciting to be part of a swing state. I’m voting in every election and trying my best to mobilize others also. I could probably do more…
I’ve been to Italy many times (wife’s from there). Yes the pizza is amazing. Yes in almost every case. Yes they do not understand pineapple on pizza.
But they are wrong. Those fuckers sometimes put boiled eggs and shit on there which ruin it.
Just because somewhere invests something doesn’t mean they have ultimate and final say. Hamburgers came from Germany and I know our fatasses got those things perfected here.
My wife works in a restaurant, and the power-tripping manager has instituted a new policy where all shift changes must be approved by management. I think that is reasonable enough, but they’re also asking the originally-scheduled employee why they are switching shifts, then approving or denying based on the answer....
This is not correct. Wage theft is protected by law, not contract.
An offer letter is specifically not an employment contract - that distinction is usually spelled out in the law and also in virtually every offer letter.
That’s not quite right. Alcoholics do tolerate lower level of alcohol (4 drinks) than normal people. But once they get to 8 (which they do - remember these are alcoholics) they don’t get more drink than a normal drink person but they are more than twice as drunk as before and they are less drunk than they really are.
The point is that alcoholics are not MORE drunk than non alcoholics on 8 drinks. They are just as hammered (but not more) than non alcoholics. The problem is that they THINK they are not as drunk while a nonalcoholic may recognize their impairment
iPhone 15 will be the most expensive ever released
Isn’t every new iPhone model more expensive then the last? That statement is true for literally every iPhone. Obviously they are going to charge more with inflation and the need for profits. Shouldn’t be a surprise.
My major struggle with Lemmy right now is that it is near impossible to post a video/gif/mp4 without having another account on a hosting provider. Reddit handled this very well, and I am concerned that if there isn’t an easy solution on Lemmy, it won’t work for many people as an alternative to Reddit....
Most of us are new here. And frankly it’s very hard to find topics here. Reddit was hard enough but there’s a lot here and the search is ass. Many bugs and limited usability. Please be prettiest and help or this place won’t have a bunch of new users for long.
At least in the United States, smoking is something fewer and fewer people take up these days. This obviously wasn’t the case back in the 50’s through the 80’s, where cigarettes were commonly smoked out in public....
Any of these with a bunch of flavor and sugar are garbage IMHO. Give me black coffee or something with heavy cream or steamed milk. The rest of that junk just covers up bad coffee flavors and is horribly unhealthy
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, a sign of the president’s strength in uniting his party to have the backing of one of its most liberal members
Trump isn’t bullying his way past 60 senators and the house for anything major. They passed one major piece of legislation (tax cuts) when he was in office. That’s it. No Obamacare repeal, no abortion legislation, nothing of significance. And now they don’t have any platform anyway so….
I have both but Memmy keeps logging me out and giving me all kinds of upvote errors. Wefwef works better and I think have pretty much the same functionality
