Yeah. Young adults are going to have sex.

They can have sex in the safe home where they live. Or they can have sex in less safe places like parties, frat houses, in cars where they can collect a public indecency charge, etc…

That’s the choice you get to make as a parent.

The irony is almost too much coming from a .ml account…

Yeah, it’s like the other commenters all identified that Lemmy is based on communities not users, but stopped JUST SHORT of coming to the right conclusion. Community QR codes!

The idea of letting young engineers at a university design production equipment is WILD to me. Universities make PROTOTYPES. The gap between prototype and reliable production equipment is so big you could drive a bus through it.

A good production engineer is worth their weight in gold but when you have shitty ones you’re better off letting the workers run the ship. At least they know what’s happening and where the hangups are. You’ll know a good engineer because they’re down talking to the lead hands on the shop floor because they want to understand what’s actually happening and run ideas through the shop before they fuck with things.

1kN is equivalent to lifting 100kg… 220lb for our imperial friends… I don’t think I could put that much force on a plate and bowl I was trying not to break

I read the article, I saw the interview. He literally said “was there any love?.. Like there was in Germany”

What I skipped is only a description of what Trump thinks love is (extra piece of bread and a wink) and that hamas didn’t do it. The two clauses are literally directly connected.

I know it’s hard to believe that’s what he said. Unfortunately you’ll have to accept it to deal with the modern reality.

I knew this thread would be FILLED with Trump apologist. He literally said “was there any love?.. Like there was in Germany”

It’s not taking it too far. It’s what he said. We don’t need to figure out if he meant a prison guard or Germans in general. We don’t need to excuse what he meant by adding precision he didn’t add. According to Trump there was love for Jews in Nazi Germany.

I’m so glad to see at least a few people resisting the sanewashing.

We’re not trying to boycott EVERY corporations. We’re voting with our wallets for the lesser evil the same way we vote at the ballots for the lesser evil.

That’s an uneducated take. The amount of goods and services required by a population as a whole isn’t affected by boycotts. What one company loses others will replace since they have a profit motive to do so. This requires them to hire additional labour which can easily come from what labour boycotted companies lay off.

That’s assuming a boycott has such a large impact as to require a workforce adjustment which is basically a fantasy scenario in most cases.

Stop convincing people into more apathy than is already plaguing us.

This is YOUR post about how Zelenskyy wants peace and Trump and Russia are being a massive piece of shit. I’m AGREEING with you. Why are you being so hostile??

Fuck you

Zelenskyy has the patience of a fucking angel. Still now he can use honest and humble words and work with someone who spat in his face for the benefit of his country.

Too bad that meeting was a staged attack meant to be used as an excuse to cut off funding. “This is going to make great TV”. They all thought Zelenskyy would be the one to storm off angry. Since it didn’t work, Trump will just “pause” funding until everyone else “forgets” because of the hundreds of heinous acts he’s about to do in the next month.

Slava Ukrani!

The reports come hours after Trump told reporters at the White House that he had not discussed suspending military aid to Ukraine

This guy is batshit insane. How someone can flip flop that hard and fast is head spinning

I’m tired of these weak sanctions. We need a full embargo. Stop contributing to the Russian war machine, stop buying Russian goods or selling our goods to Russia!

I only counted 4x6 … because I can’t count :(

Best part is that if you include the free space in the center it actually has the exact number of boxes for a full bingo card.

To overcome inflation you need returns higher than inflation. That’s it. Historically the markets outperform inflation. You’re saying things out of fear and not reality.

I want someone who would choose to spend a million/year on the animals instead of on themselves.

That video is garbage, you REALLY think the “best and brightest” are the ones making millions? It’s the well connected. The people who make and break lives like chips on a poker table over a game of golf. The people who hang out on Epstein’s Island. They’re the only ones making millions per year.

The best and brightest are slaving away in universities and companies making meager salaries. The ones who have to fight for every cent that goes towards their innovation and research, who have to convince shareholders that every dollar they invest will give them a thousand back.

Let those people run the zoo, they’ll do it for 120k. That’s millions more that can be spent on the animals by people who actually have the skills to help.

Update Oh my god. I just watched more of the video and it’s baffling how bad it is. First he says that charities have to fill the gaps the market can’t fill because it’s not profitable. But his 5th pillar is that they should be allowed to pay profit to share holders to attract “capital”. But if they could turn a natural profit they wouldn’t need to be a charity. That means that profit necessarily has to come from DONORS. He’s literally advocating for a charity that takes donations and pays them to SHAREHOLDERS instead of the needy… Holy shit he’s in a room full of “smart” people and getting praised for this idea. I’m only half way through and I’m getting nauseous watching this.

Final update. His overall idea that overhead isn’t a good measure of charity success is a decent one. But NONE of the solutions he proposes are decent. What about compensation for charity workers? All he talks about is MBA salaries. And giving donations to shareholders is the most disgusting idea I’ve heard all year. That’s completely irredeemable.

You’re probably right. The Russian casualties are something that will drain their economy for decades. European move away from Russian oil and gas also is a long term consequence.

I’m just feeling negative about the world when I see people fighting and dying for democracy and freedom contrasted by people who can’t even be bothered to vote to fight for the same.

They only have to last until comrade Trump takes the reins. After that you can kiss support to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia goodbye. Trump owes hundreds of millions to Russian oligarchs, they’re going to get their money’s worth.

What a fucking dispicable result. Fucking weak Americans rather stay home than fight for democracy because they might have to vote for a black woman.
