- Comment on Colorado Governor Jared Polis once again vetoes bill that would make it easier for unions to organize 2 days ago:
Don’t have to do anything to send him packing. He’s term limited and done after this year.
- Comment on Is evolution only affected by mortality and birth rate? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, assuming they are completely isolated from the surface population. It’s called genetic drift.
There’s a pretty interesting group of people who were pretty isolated in Kentucky who turned blue, which would be an example of this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Fugates
- Comment on If a person were paranoid about a potential food shortage in the next two to three years, what should they stock up on now? 3 weeks ago:
YMMV, especially since I live in an arid climate so don’t have to worry about things like mold. We just use bins to store things like rice. We keep pasta in the packaging it comes in. Haven’t had any issues with food going bad over the years.
- Comment on If a person were paranoid about a potential food shortage in the next two to three years, what should they stock up on now? 3 weeks ago:
Dried beans. Rice. An established fruit/vegetable garden.
- Comment on It's unacceptable that people like Jeff Bezos exist. 3 weeks ago:
The best thing about Jeff Bezos is Mackenzie Scott.
- Comment on When is the best time to leave your dog in the car without getting a window smashed from a wannabe hero? Info Inside 3 weeks ago:
Seems like a good way to get your car stolen, with your dog inside.
- Comment on When is the best time to leave your dog in the car without getting a window smashed from a wannabe hero? Info Inside 3 weeks ago:
…are you leaving the car running while you aren’t there? Because if so, I don’t think your biggest concern should be getting your window smashed.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 years ago:
if I did, I would have to be obliged and follow their cultures
This doesn’t seem true to be. There is no culture police who will come and enforce the way you live your life to follow the norms of your ethnic label(s).
I don’t have a culture
This is impossible. Everyone has a culture. You may not follow all the cultural norms or traditions of where you are from, but it is guaranteed that who you are was impacted by the culture you were raised in. There is no such thing as neutral, otherwise you are saying your personal culture would fit in everywhere in the world (Mexico, USA, Italy, Russia, Japan, Philippines, etc).

What do you think the term Latino means, and why don’t you want to identify as one?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 years ago:
FYI Central America is also in North America
- Comment on Touchscreen smartphones aren't even fun or novel anymore, they're just necessities for daily life 2 years ago:
A quick Google showed me a $40 smartphone from Walmart. Granted it’s probably pretty terrible, but it does go to show that they aren’t all priced like luxury toys. If you want a luxury branded phone, you’ll pay luxury prices.
- Comment on Why did Lemmy change from post/comment score to count? 2 years ago:
I’ve been here since June, and it’s never had karma score calculated for the profile. My understanding was that they didn’t want to promote karma farming like is done on Reddit.
- Comment on What the hell is this shit? Instead of pushing for the return to traditional pensions, capitalism is celebrating the idea that Millennials & Gen Z may simply never be able to stop working. 2 years ago:
Why should people push for traditional pensions? I don’t want to be stuck at a crappy job just because leaving would reset my retirement clock. It’s the same reason healthcare shouldn’t be attached to the employer either.

- Comment on Visas and entry conditions in (North) Korea 2 years ago:
New Zealand is just happy to have been included for once
- Comment on Are there any prince movies for kids? 2 years ago:
I mean the ones that come instantly to mind would be The Emperor’s New Groove and Aladdin
- Comment on How can I practice being more emotionally available as a man? 2 years ago:
In addition to this, understanding the emotions you are experiencing and being able to put a name to them will help. A lot of cultural expectations pressure men to only feel anger/happiness, but there is so much more nuance. Being able to recognize that and, eventually, communicate it will be massive to this undertaking.
I’d recommend using something like an emotion wheel to define how you are feeling at any given moment in time.
- Comment on "I do Product Photography" 2 years ago:
I have no idea what is going on there, but it was hilarious!
- Comment on Does a food being like 'high in B6 vitamins' or whatever actually mean anything or make anyone feel tangibly different? 2 years ago:
Blood test to check for nutritional deficiencies
- Comment on Does a food being like 'high in B6 vitamins' or whatever actually mean anything or make anyone feel tangibly different? 2 years ago:
I think if you are low on B6 you will definitely notice it. If your levels of B6 are fine, then you probably won’t notice a difference.
- Comment on What hobbies did you pick up during the pandemic and have you been able to keep them up? 2 years ago:
I got into doing yoga. I did it daily for about 9 months straight in 2020, and have never felt better. I go through phases now where I can keep it up, but I can also go a while without doing it. I wish I could get back into doing it daily because I feel so much better with the consistency.
- Comment on Beethoven's 2nd warned us about Danny Masterson more than 20 years ago 2 years ago:
This just in…Taika Waititi is literally Hitler, Sean Bean is dead, and RDJ is a real live superhero!
- Comment on I'm trying to find a story about a dog 2 years ago:
I’m pretty sure this is the story you’re talking about.
- Comment on Is America Really That Bad? 2 years ago:
These are all easily googleable items.
Or whatever, if you want to believe the US has zero redeeming qualities, then go right ahead. I’m kind of sick of talking to someone who has such a fucking negative outlook.
- Comment on Is America Really That Bad? 2 years ago:
Yes off the top of my head our parks system is emulated world wide and generally the most impressive aspect for visitors of our country.
We also have unparalleled accessibility for people with disabilities. Try to get around Europe in a wheelchair. You won’t have a good time.
It is relatively easy to start a business.
We have the top universities in the world.
We are the best place in terms of medical R&D, as well as scientific research in general
We are above average in gender equality (though there are certainly places that are just as good or better). I wouldn’t want to be a woman in the middle east, for example.
We have the best road connectivity, though obviously quality of those roads could be improved.
We provide more humanitarian aid to foreign countries than anyone else (depending on your perspective this could be good or bad).
Should I go on?
- Comment on Is America Really That Bad? 2 years ago:
I think they should take what works and leave what doesn’t. There are a lot of great things about the US, alongside the not so great things. Why shouldn’t other countries emulate the things that are fantastic here (e.g. our national parks/public land programs as one example).
Just like we should look at things that work in other countries and see if they can improve QOL here. Every place in the world has its good qualities and bad. The US isn’t special in that regard.
- Comment on Is America Really That Bad? 2 years ago:
Are all states is America bad?
This is their question. Read the post.
- Comment on Is America Really That Bad? 2 years ago:
I never said that we should let people suffer. You’re the one who needs to take a step back and stop raging.
OPs question is literally: “Are all states in the US that bad.” The answer is no, some states are obviously worse than others. It’s the shitty ones that get all the air time.
- Comment on Is America Really That Bad? 2 years ago:
The point is that people’s QOL is highly dependent on where in the US they live. Local laws have a much bigger impact to people’s quality of life than whatever happens in Washington. I did not lose my constitutional rights to an abortion because I live in a sane place. If I live somewhere like Texas, I would have.
The reason the rest of the world thinks the US is so terrible is that we act like the whole country is impacted the same way by national decisions. Or that all idiotic local laws apply to everyone the same way.
