  • Millions of US women in ‘maternity care deserts’ facing dangers, report warns

  • Oh no, if only this entirely predictable outcome could have somehow been... predicted?

    I guess we didn't threaten enough doctors and nurses lives and families /s.

  • Americans' inflation-adjusted incomes rebounded to pre-pandemic levels last year

  • But the (clickbait) title got people to (click) talk about it so... it accomplished its publishers' goal, nonetheless.

  • Are you implying that the credit is here? If so, where? I am not seeing it.

  • Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

  • You are talking about user-level blocking, whereas iirc defederation is an instance-level blocking that also stops user comments too, as well as votes.

  • The “election” is perpetual. People will vote with their participation.

    As it should always be.

  • Report Exposes Christian Nationalist “Threats” to Democracy in the US

    Jump

  • Why is "Threats" in double-quotes? The fact that they are "threats" is not in question - these are not "alleged threats"?

    I see that it comes from the article, but that only pushes back my question as to why the article does that. It also puts "hard right" and "all-out" (and "holy war" and "race war" and "dangerous" and "evil" and "demonic" etc.) in quotes too, which should not be, but those at least are all more discretionary, whereas putting "threats" in quotes like that calls into question their validity.

  • Biden rules out pardon for son Hunter

    Jump

  • He can love his son and also democracy and justice too - i.e. allow his son to go to what will surely be like a resort vacation spa that they will call "prison" (not bc he's special, just bc he's rich).

  • I wonder where they went?

  • What reading style do you consider more tedious to read, A) short, concise, and precise, but using non-layperson vocabulary, B) using layperson vocabulary, but it's longer, drawn out, and not precise?

  • Someone writing a wall of text when it is not asked for or appreciated may be being insensitive to their audience. On the other hand, I've literally had people ask for it and then someone else steps in to complain, so definitely there are Karens who feel entitled to whinge no matter what you do. Just settle in your own mind whether you are doing the right thing, and let being correct remain your guide as to what to do.

  • Is any body able to provide some advice to help my friend through a bad patch?

    Jump

  • I am not the person you replied to but I wanted to echo and extend their statement: you may need to come to terms with the fact that you might not have the capability to help your friend, and it's even possible that nobody does, unless and until they become receptive to that kind of aid.

    I am not saying to do nothing, but do be aware of that, e.g. if you give them money and they gamble it away, will you just keep giving them money until neither of you has any at all? And then repeat for every single one of your friends as well?

    Decide what you can do and what you cannot. In any case you may not be able to "save" him - that is something that as an adult he needs to do for himself, and may resent you for even trying?

  • It is to their advantage to be act surprised, therefore they are "surprised", see? This was your "opportunity" to show how dedicated you are the company, having worked all weekend long...
