I use this for architecture and it’s saved me so much time

Who are you responding to, bud?

Meanwhile billionaires are still laughing at the poors fighting each other thinking one job is better than other or villifying entire professions still.

Landlording isn’t a job.

Browsing their coms can be a pretty unique experience, especially if you go in with a preformed idea of what their communities are like. There’s a huge spread of interests and experiences, and sometimes you can be browsing a niche community and forget that these were the people posting BPB on lemmy.world threads a year ago.

Knowing the academic writings and history they’re referencing helps a lot with understanding where they are coming from, even if you may not agree with all of it.

I guess they are speculating that he did? Apparently they found a folder on his computer with pictures of her in underwear that she didn’t recognize or remember taking, but she obviously doesn’t have any memory of being a part of the sexual abuse since he was allegedly drugging them.

I didn’t read the story my wife did, she was just conveying it to me so I might have misunderstood something

This is the most reasonable response.

A lot of people here have long since made up their mind about hexbear based both on repeated meta posting on the topic and possibly a bad experience or two with them on a topic they assumed was uncontested but is a landmine topic for communists of a particular bent

I’ve personally never had a bad experience with hexbears, possibly because I’m more empathetic to their perspective, but more likely because I know when it’s time to disengage. There are users on lemmy who feel strongly about a certain topic that’s abrasive to hexbear users and dig in their heels when jeered at (or maybe feel a personal responsibility to stand them down) and are usually the users here who have the most complaints, because the standard reaction from hexbear users is irreverence (both the users and the mods).

Unlike a lot of liberals coming from reddit, communists often don’t have delusions about the neutrality of moderation and so they’ll ban you on a whim if they think you’re there to stir shit. They use the ban hammer judiciously even with users on their own instance. That’s often the biggest complaint both with hexbear and with lemmy.ml.

It was always an exciting day in band when we got to turn the vibrophone resonator fans on.

I wish people would stop comparing those uses of copyright to nonprofits like Internet Archive

While I understand AI training exemptions to copyright are controversial, and think most people here would side with IA on ebook lending.

My wife was telling me about this yesterday, apparently it wasn’t just the guy’s wife but their fucking daughter, too

He started doing this when she was 60 and it went on for 10 years

The only other thing that I can think of that compares to this is Dahmer lobotomizing his victims with a hand drill to make them into sex slaves

Because Israel has already proven themselves untrustworthy, even if what this story is reporting is credible on its own.

Israel has the full force of American military support against a nation and a people who’ve been systematically oppressed for 70 years. They bear the responsibility for the outcome of this conflict far more than any other.

We can’t have a discussion at all if we’re not allowed to address the statements and intent of the other.

stop making it personal.

I’d kindly ask you to stop making it about the things I’m doing. You’re making it personal.

It’s actually not speaking about the personal costs born by consumers, it’s talking about the cost of purchasing food for the diet.

As I said, if the paper was discussing the systemic hurtles and personal choices of consumers it would be a different paper, saying a different thing.

How can I leave you out of an analysis that is about something you said? You’re just being ridiculous now.

What they claimed was “a whole foods plant-based diet is 30% cheaper.”

Which is factually supported by the study, even if you’d prefer to interpret it to mean something else

I’m not trying to make this about you, i’m just trying to respond to what I think you’re trying to argue that you didn’t explicitly say

i don’t really know

YES, now you’re getting it

The paper wasn’t discussing food stamp programs or even what food you might already have

No you were talking about what OP seemed to be saying, and I was talking about what you seemed to be saying

It’s not trying to prove that people on food stamps can afford a diet the government hasn’t designed their food program for them to afford lmao

as being in teh position to always pay full price for food at a store is a luxury.

Not if by ‘cost’ they meant ‘cost’, and not ‘what they get from the state at no cost’
