  • Definitely don't put grease or oil down the drain if it is solid at room temperature. Even oil that's liquid at room temperature is bad for sewage systems - they combine with non-biodegradable sewage waste such as wet-wipes (Don't flush wet wipes down the toilet. Put them in the trash.) and turn into rocks that narrow and block the sewage pipes. See wiki on Fatbergs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatberg

  • I think there is nuance here. My understanding is that there is a very small but loud percentage of women that want to exclude men. When DEI (inclusion of less represented individuals) is encouraged, it's often cut down by "only the most qualified should be hired", detracting from the core topic which is bias. Most of the discourse around privilege was to help understand that men aren't actively oppressive, but many are blind to the ways in which they contribute to the oppressive issues due to cultural programming. In parallel to what we're seeing with protests - inaction is not helpful. Those that are privileged are more likely to be able to change the minds of those that are actively oppressive. TL;DR privilege is just the ability to apply peer pressure.

  • Most memories are from my early 2000s childhood:

    • playing Ultima Online (MMO)
    • playing Gunbound (artillery game)
    • playing games and hoarding items on Neopets
    • browsing nonsense on sites like Ebaumsworld & Newgrounds
    • "dj-ing" on coke music (online lounge) to make dBs to spend on furniture for upgrading my clubhouse
    • chatting with schoolmates on MSN messenger
    • learning html to make my page on Nexopia (similar to Myspace)
    • making little fashion avatars on Dollz Mania (and putting them on my Nexopia)
    • downloading all sorts of viruses through music on Limewire

  • Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, husband shot and killed; Sen. John Hoffman and wife also shot

  • The dogleg is from responding to a mayday from a sinking refugee boat carrying 30-40 people. Due to complications, only the 4 people that jumped off and swam towards the floatilla were able to be rescued. The remaining are presumed to be taken back by the Libyan coast guard where they'll be punished with violence, detention, and torture in Libya.

  • PFAS detected in US beers in new study, raising safety concerns

    Jump

  • Links to the recent Veritasium video on PFAS aka forever chemicals. Describes the story of how PFAS were discovered, including interviews from the lawyer that got Du Pont to settle with the farmer, and how he continued to press the industry but they kept finding ways to weasel out of responsibility for contamination of waterways and global air. The host tests his own blood for various types of PFAS and uses online PFAS estimators to help understand that where he was living for ~10 years had higher levels in the water, which tracks to the higher levels seen in his blood. There's still PFAS in everyday consumer products - anything slippery or waterproof. They also interview someone researching PFAS filtration. Plenty more interesting bits in the video. Worth a watch.

  • Do you mind clarifying what you mean is a problem? Are you saying kids with mild symptoms aren't getting access? Or there are far too many kids accessing the special needs services than can be accommodated?

    Simple things you can do to grow the PR movement:

     
            Donate to proportional representation advocacy, AisB, or PR supporting parties.
    Subscribe and post to the !fairvote@lemmy.ca community.
    Educate: A Simple Guide to Electoral Systems.
    Follow: List of social media accounts for Canadian Democracy.
    Consume only Canadian Owned and Operated Media.
    Vote and encourage others to vote every opportunity you can!
    Share this list with others!

    Also see: We must keep advocating for proportional representation. If PR dies, so does Canadian democracy as we know it. FPTP is already pushing us toward a two-party system, just like the USA.

  • Is it normal to be constantly scared about how your friend will react to anything about you?

    Jump

  • This is not a healthy friendship. This person does not have your best interests at heart. Distance yourself. Stop hanging out, stop messaging. Give excuses if you're not comfortable telling them that you won't tolerate their treatment of you anymore. Do not let them guilt you into staying in each other's lives. They might see you push them away and try everything they can to pull you back in. Don't give in. Real friends like to see you happy and want to build your confidence up. Go to events where people have similar interests to you and you will make better friends. Good luck!

  • I'd guess they're stating that the semi-developed countries with high density populations and high rates pollution may not consider cycling infrastructure on their list of city planning priorities

  • I can't help but wonder if this is an assignment to "clear the wait list" for if/when Mangione gets convicted? I don't quite understand the system but it seems many people on death row spend so many years waiting for the bureaucratic processes to complete before their lives are taken.

  • Because women entered the workforce and can be both providers and caregivers, but in general men don't want to embrace an identity as caregiver so point the blame at women and/or the world.

  • Think of it like a ratio. It devalues the savings of every day people more significantly than it devalues the massive piles rich people have. Rich people have this insane buffer and always have the means to play the rigged system to their favour and win.
