Interesting, I’m actually the exact opposite. I always start with Google, because it’s usually good enough, but whenever it takes 2-3 tries to get something relevant, I switch to ddg and get it first try.

ineffective local programs to deal with homelessness the nice way.

We don’t actually attempt to deal with homelessness in the nice way here, and we virtually never have. Giving these people housing is seen as a handout instead of what it actually is: a solution that costs less, reduces violence, reduces drug use, is more likely to be accepted, AND has less recidivism - there is literally no drawback, when you consider how much empty real estate there is (another problem we refuse to actually address).

But this is America, we don’t want any of that. We just want prisoners for the for-profit prisons. We want the cruelty against people we see as “lazy.” We want the perceived moral victory of not being one of them.

It’s clearly rage-bait 🙄 congrats, you’re their target demographic

If the only two challengers only got 3% each, then I’m sorry, but there are no challengers.

Just to be clear, your response to seeing rich people evade justice is that… nobody should have consequences anymore?

You must get really angry at people who use food stamps instead of at people like the Waltons, don’t you?

…and the fractured drawbacks of lemmy slowly become apparent. I see this happening more and more, and don’t expect lemmy to survive if it continues.

No before and after shots, lazy writing, bad article.

If it doesn’t matter, then why are you using it as a talking point?

You’re actively working against your own agenda.

Yes… that’s literally the point? Tariffs both support existing local producers and are an incentive to move production local.

Asia in general is just much more “honest” than the West. If you’re fat, they won’t beat around the bush and say “you’re beautiful the way you are.” If you’re ugly, they won’t hide in platitudes, they’ll say “damn, it must suck that you’re so ugly.”

It’s not malicious, these are simply facts that they don’t ignore. And, to be honest, I think it’s healthier in a lot of ways. The west has a ridiculously massive weight problem that we just completely ignore - or even actively support - because people are afraid to make anyone feel bad.

They weren’t meant to be causative, and I stand by both of my statements. Her writing is objectively bad, and it’s a small miracle that she didn’t manage to ruin this series like everything else she’s written. Yes, I know those are strong words, and yes, I do believe them.

So no matter how much one hates Rowling (I don’t, she’s done more good than evil by far still), she’s smarter and more decent than most of the humanity. That sucks.

Lol. She lucked into an amazing world that managed to remain a good story despite her writing, not because of it. She’s not an idiot, but literally every other piece of writing she’s ever put out kinda slams the “smarter than most of humanity” line.

Have you tried being less transphobic? That’s probably a good first step

Well, that’s stupid.

Our voting system is undemocratic. Until that isn’t the case, I will keep trying to push people away from wasting their votes.

Not a chance… he’s never included that much information in so few words.

Why is mixing a thing suddenly?

Definitely not new, people have been doing this since at least the 90s, when I was a kid.

I also know plenty of Japanese people who say dipping the rice lightly into soy sauce is the correct method, so take literally any “sushi etiquette” guide with a grain of salt.

Eat your food in whatever way brings you joy. Anyone that says otherwise is a pointlessly-gatekeeping idiot.

I’ve been waiting for a cancelation since it was announced. Trump agreed to mic muting? lol, okay, sure he did… I’ll believe it when I see it

Looks like some sort of bread/roll
