Ugh same. For me it's that I can either have weed in my possession and get super high every day, or I can let my stash run out and go cold turkey. Only ever managed like 2 days stashing any THC product away without using it, and I thought about it constantly the whole time.
But on the bright side, as long as I don't let myself buy more I can go indefinitely, no problem. I was going on 2 years without it until I visited family in California a few months ago and they offered me some lol
“Lemmy.ca” is so named due to it running the Lemmy software, in the Fediverse, and it’s geared toward Canadians, hosted in Canada, and run by Canadians. It is, however, not at all restricted to Canadians, or Canadian culture/topics/etc. All are welcome!
The aid we send to Ukraine is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of wealth we allow the ultra rich to hoard. Our wealth tax rates are already criminally low, and even on those the underfunded IRS fails to collect somewhere between $500 billion to a trillion every year.
Our lack of a public safety net has nothing to do with foreign aid, and everything to do with our corrupt government doing everything it can to entrench the oligarchy.
Edit, didn't think to source it until after I commented, looks like I sort of misremembered an old politico article, which is kind of a shitty source anyway--but everything other than the exact numbers I mentioned is still true
Also, lumping Israel and Ukraine together as equally bad is ludicrous
A steadily growing portion of American education is about rote memorization instead of critical thinking because we tied testing to funding and true/false is easier to grade
That's be nice but the propaganda is such that they get to blame everyone else even when they're in power. My bet is the worse they crash the country, the harder they'll double down, and the more tolerance their base will have for them to do truly heinous shit to the groups they vilify (ie trans people and immigrants)
It's not just economic globalization, but the global ecosystem's food chains are already starting to collapse thanks to climate change, and our factory farming systems are becoming increasingly prone to virulent diseases wiping out huge crops of both plants and animals. I wonder what happens when food prices skyrocket because half our food supply has been contaminated, and at the same time inflation explodes thanks to plain ol' financial mismanagement
Not sure where you're getting that 80 to 90 percent figure, but most users being on new reddit is not at all a reflection of preference, it's of new being the default option
Yeah I remember instance hopping when I first joined Lemmy, part of the flood of new users when Reddit announced the API changes that killed mobile apps. Not one instance was working 100% of the time; I signed up on at least 4 different ones and had to keep swapping between them.
The way this is formatted it looks like "fuck. A clone of myself. Goddammit"
