With you, together tastes better, especially with Coca Cola. Every day with you is an adventure as we taste the rainbow by eating Skittles in bed. Tonight, we’ll put on our Nike shoes and just do it.

What are they supposed to do? Turn away sick people?

“Sorry you think you have an infection. Just deal with it for a few more weeks until I have time”

Right? If they don’t want to improve working conditions, then they should be legally liable for the injuries that result

The “God Squad” is a panel of six high ranking federal officials on the Endangered Species Committee that has the ability to decide exemptions in the Endangered Species Act. It earned the name because the committee has the power to play God.

What a revolting nickname - it shows how little they truly care 🤢

I think they bastardized the Bible’s permission to eat meat into ownership of all animals to do what conveniences them.

After the Noah’s ark story, God says “God tells Noah, "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things”

This meant to consume, but human greed never seems to allow us to consume sustainability. We have a very religious babysitter who feels strongly that animals have no souls and therefore are of lesser importance than humans. As though the whole world was laid out for us like a playmat, and when we destroy it God will just get us more toys.

My grandpa had a handful of stories that he told over and over again. Yes, it got a little hard to laugh and react at the correct parts after 20 listens. But I must say that I would absolutely love the chance to travel back in time and hear him spin one of his yarns again.

Chipped up chicken is the perfect place to hide fillers and contaminants. Can anyone really be surprised that Walmart would add in crap to displace meat volume and save a buck?

If you can’t identify the cut of meat that it came from, you should expect that other shit is in it.

A game for the plane ride - can you name all 152,489 states?

That would be….gasp….socialism

And Chief Justice John Roberts, another conservative on the bench, also had something of a mic-drop moment when Sauer tried to make the point that “we’re in a new world where eight billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who’s a U.S citizen.”

Roberts replied: “It’s a new world. It’s the same Constitution.”

I expect this is where they pivot next. What does it take to amend the American constitution? Or what does it take to make a new one, given that they will try to justify that an old document does not fit the modern world

Greetings Moon Men! We mean you no harm. We simply come in search of delicious herbs and spices. And to help you run your own longstanding society, about which we clearly know best. Cough, cough. Sorry, we are a bit under the weather with some Earth pathogens - you ARE immune, are you not?

In my day, we just called that a bender

As a Canadian, I’ve wondered lately if we should have built a wall…

That train left the station a while ago…

When I was a teenager I’d write down questions that occurred to me throughout the day in an agenda, so I would be able to look them up next time I went to the library. I still did the same when we got internet - I’d have a list of things to search at home that evening.

Now we have the bulk of human knowledge at our fingertips and we use it to get likes and followers.

I’m not a very tech savvy person, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. But does that mean that each instance of Lemmy is personally paid for by whoever owns it? How can that be sustainable?

You know what I have enjoyed about Lemmy? Compared to Reddit, I get fewer replies if I make a comment, and fewer upvotes. Yet the comments I do get are generally more interesting and more likely to be human. As I’ve grown more accustomed to Lemmy, I’ve begun to wonder what percentage of Reddit interactions were bots.

However, I’d love to see this grow some more. The large communities are taking off, but I will still use Reddit for more niche subjects (area-specific gardening, following a local sports team) because they haven’t taken off on Lemmy yet and I’d be talking to myself. And that means that you are useful, because a community needs members to thrive.

Took this photo just at the moment the bananaquit decided to fly off, which gave a neat view of its feathers

But Cuba has always bought oil from a variety of countries, Russia included. They haven’t historically been forced to buy from them , it was just another supplier. But it is interesting that former allies like Mexico and Canada have been barred from selling oil to Cuba, yet an internationally sanctioned Russian ship is fine.

It doesn’t really follow that it’s a bone thrown to support Russia, as they have had no lack of customers. Heck, despite US sanctions, the Americans themselves have not stopped purchasing Russian oil. They just pass it through shell companies or refineries that are at least 50% co-owned by a nation that isn’t Russia, which gives someone else a little nibble of the pie too.

I also don’t buy the supposed humanitarian side. Suddenly they claim Cubans need to survive, which the Trump admin didn’t care about until a week ago. Dying brown people isn’t going to change Republican voter support.

What I can’t really comprehend is what the end game is. Originally they wanted to bring the Cuban government to its knees and acquire it like a corporate takeover. Maybe they’ve done their due diligence and found that they don’t see a profit in it at the end? It’s definitely not an action of pure kindness.

There are worse things than having your butt hole gently cleaned with a cool spray of water for 4 millennia.
