When Clinton lost we didn’t have a hostile Supreme Court.

It’s been more than enough for a while now.

If you’re not trolling or baiting, what the fuck is with the inflammatory phrasing? You can’t just post bad faith bullshit and then follow it with “PS. this is in good faith”

Well, the sun will explode in 5 billion years, but if that’s too long, don’t worry, it’s only 1 billion until solar winds carry off half of Earth’s water.

I do. Why, what do you use?

Sadly, for the next four years, we belong in that bucket.

I’m sorry, you’re looking at these results and seeing too little democracy in play?

And the party behind him has a Senate majority, and may still achieve a house majority.

Anonymity is a myth. If you don’t want to be known to have said it, don’t say it.

On lemmy?

• Two-space indent (as superior to tab indent)

• Hey, by the way, your comment was kinda racist

• I’m a new user and why isn’t this more like reddit

• I’m pretty okay with capitalism, actually

• Here’s video without text summary (NB: this one is, IMO, entirely deserving of downvotes)

It… does, though? I always go to my profile and check how my comments are doing before I sign off. Numbers go bigger make dopamine go brrrr.

Bruh a lot of us are out here with two jobs already working nine shifts a week. People are gonna do what they got to do.

Yankee, Yank, Yanqui

Seppo I guess but that doesn’t hit as hard because silly

“Freedumb” is another one that’s too silly to really be offensive

Without the evolutionary pressure to maintain high melanin levels in the skin, and possibly also from interbreeding with Neanderthaal, European people’s got paler.

Someone mutated to have eyes that were paler and more sensitive to light, which was useful during the longer nights further north, and that mutation spread.

So it’s a bit of both.

You know it!

Egyptian is pretty well-known but underrepresented in popular media.

There’s a lot of weird Talmudic stuff about angels.

If it’s only while in bed to sleep, I could do $200K. I’d be willing to also wear it for naps on the couch but not for, ahem, other activities I do in bed.

Part of it was that we were guests, so the hospitality culture dictated that we were served “celebration” type foods: hotdogs, iceberg salad, frybread. Which is fun but not a long-term diet.

The main thing was the lack of vegetables, especially fresh vegetables. There’s nowhere to grow them and nowhere to buy them, and even if you drive off the rez, an hour to Valentine, NE for a real supermarket, the prices are very high.

Ireland for sure. r/Ireland was one of the best, funniest, friendliest subs on reddit, I’d love to see them here.

Itinerant Summer Camp Counselor on Indian Reservations

Do you know what the poorest county in the US is? Neither do I, but at the time, it was Todd County, SD, where the Pine Ridge Reservation meets the Rosebud Reservation. This is raw desert. This is nobody’s ancestral lands because nobody would or could live here long-term. This is just where a big section of the Lakota people got shoved.

We would go into a town, and set up our weeklong free program for the local kids. We stayed with locals, or slept on the floor of churches in sleeping bags. We had to bring in all of our own supplies and most of our own food, partly because there was nowhere to buy anything but also because if we ate what the locals had to serve us we got malnourished and depressed –we learned this the hard way, and almost crashed the program two weeks in from burnout, we were so miserable. We would do our best to give the kids some fun, some education, and a good lunch but ultimately they just wandered in and out as they would and other than enforcing “no fighting” in the program areas we were powerless to do anything more.

I live on the West Side of Chicago now, a block away from a permanent homeless camp. I’ve been homeless myself, briefly, before I got my life turned around. I’m no stranger to urban poverty. But as bad as it is, I would take it over rural poverty any day. At least in the city you can get up and walk away. Resources are underfunded but they’re there. Out in the desert, on the rez… all you have is the community, and the community is broke.
