But other countries do have protests and riots for a lot less. I think the reason it doesn’t happen in America is mostly because of the lack of organized unions and stuff like that.
Where I live if some law suggested doctors could be facing jail time for providing care to someone who had a miscarriage, it wouldn’t take a week for doctors to go on strike, which would probably be organized by their union. And even anti-choice doctors would strike too.
And yet a ton of people apparently only found out that Biden wasn’t running when his name wasn’t on the ballot.
They are talking about education, not intelligence. Children of couples with higher education will usually have a better education too.
Also none of the sources linked there mention anything about trans women.
I wish I could say that people would riot before that happen, but these days I think that Americans will just take whatever the government does to them and at most will make some memes on the internet about how fucked up they were.
Back when roe V wade was overturned I still thought “this is gonna be the straw” but nope, nobody did anything at all, not even any minor protest.
America just doesn’t have any structure for fighting back. With just two parties and barely any relevant unions for anything, there’s nobody willing to organize anything to push back.
I think he means “backwood countries can do whatever they want, but EU countries can’t”
Unlikely to ever happen, but Xenogears.
I think a good representation would be to put the trolley already running over Palestine and then having to choose between keeping things as they are or adding the others + speeding up the train.
Or, changing the premise a little further, show the person as choosing between continuation, upgrade and using his own body to derail the trolley.
I get what you mean, but I think the point behind this image is not to say that doing what you call the “bare minimum” is enough, but to try and get more people to actually do that bare minimum.
Did not expect to see a Croc game ever again. Now all we’re missing is Gex.
I’m just curious because I’ve made some jokes in a thread about snipers before and I wonder if that triggered anything. But now with this article I realize that even if that one didn’t, my recent comment “I wish I could know if I have ever been investigated by the FBI” might have. And if neither did, then maybe this new one might.
Crap, I might go as well and say “hey FBI, investigate me”. So that I can now be sure.
…unless Lemmy is still out of their automatic tools?
I considered adding more to the joke here but got afraid it would be going too far. I think I’ll write a short story about someone who gets so paranoid about knowing if he’s on the FBI list or not that they end up actually doing some terrorism act just to be sure they are.
In my head this scene was my own idea so unless I completely forgot about it (which would not surprise me) it wasn’t
Fun fact; Hitler is in the good place.
… It was a technicality.
Flashback:
Architect: “man this Hitler dude is so awful, whoever kills him goes to the good place, no questions asked.”
I don’t know much about rivers but based on the floods we had here in Brazil early this year, I don’t think that house will be there by the end of the century.
If I understood correctly is demanding payments from WP Engine for offering competing services using wordpress.
Ok that may take a few years.
With Climate Change we’ll eventually run out of names. Unless Hurricane Karen manages to be the one that kills everyone before that happens.
Not necessarily. They might just be able to choose the strength at will and decided not to start out with the max output back with Katrina.
I’m gonna go on “no stupid question” and ask why my old hard drives aren’t doubling in size.
I only started remembering which side west is (relative to north) when I started thinking of “the wild west” and then thinking of where the wild west was. Still can’t use it in the real world for anything though. At most if I’m at my own town I know approximately where north is, but anywhere else I’ll quickly lose the sense of which direction is which.
