Depends on which pope you are talking about. One of them got allied planes in his sights to get shot down.

I have selected premium several times and then the tank stopped filling 30¢ early and my receipt said regular despite selecting premium when filling up my moped. I think the machines try to account for the gas type difference sometimes or maybe the pumps I was using were a bit dodgy.

If the US gets poor enough can a fast food combo cost less than an hour of working an assembly line?

Or if China sells a product at half the cost or less of getting it elsewhere

I think that should count the same

I always thought it was a major fuck you to veterans that the big state funded fireworks display where I live is launched like 10 feet from the veterans hospital where they have people living there and being treated for PTSD.

Also I worked second shift so driving home through low visibility "fog" a few hours after everyone stops shooting them off feels eerie when you live in a city that doesn't get fog. That's probably not good for breathing, but I don't really know about just kind of being anecdotal

It's still deflective. Saying someone else called these events a war crime is distancing their news agency from calling it that even as they spell out details of an event that's a war crime

You can tell it's gay because it's not his aunt's house it's his aunts house meaning his aunt and her wife which also makes that his other aunt.

Flex is more to show off. You can show off without bragging about it, although everyone who runs marathons seems to brag...

Ah the old Arbeit macht frei point... ok

Science is also for artificers.

Also people aren't necessarily able to monetize their interest in science. Maybe if there were no barriers like people needing to pay for education, food, shelter, transportation, medical care, and the air they breathe then maybe a larger portion of those people would be the mage they want to be or at least closer to it. As it stands you are right, but things can be different than they are right now

"They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them"

I don't recommend them at all, conservative shitholes I mean unless maybe you are very well off and have passive income. Living in a place where people are basically ready to freak out over someone saying good morning as they pass and all the weird hate and suspicion towards everyone around them isn't healthy. It's like a culture built around having an enemy freaks out when there's no immediate external one and looks for enemies within.

Maybe it'll be gay people maybe it won't necessarily be that bad for them, hate culture is fickle and not based around logic, sometimes it's something of a comfort blanket for some people. Some people respond to be controlling and and others that claim to be in power and project control. People who grow up under "My house, my rules" type of homes grow up and vote for people who project that aura.

Yeah other comments have a point that you can run into assholes anywhere, but politics most definitely shape communities no matter how much people say they don't. Redlining shaped entire communities for over half a century, to pretend a neighborhood built around being held down because it's primarily an out group is suddenly going to have a drastically different way of life after some policies stopped is moronic. That's only one thing that causes a culture built around stratification, there's plenty of problems. Sometimes the damage is already done and actual policies need to be done to reverse it or else people are just stuck. Some policies are hard to really get into detail and convey just exactly how damaging they are especially to people who were never even taught those policies exist to begin with.

I know that this isn't exactly what you were getting into, I guess I just wanted to dig a bit further into my points seeing as how people are still interested days later. Getting into the politics of it requires some knowledge of history. Basically political landscapes shape culture for better or worse

I feel that. Tried getting into my niche interests and hobbies, but they are dead on Lemmy. I think being cognizant of problems in the world isn't a bad thing, but sometimes you don't want news and I wish the spaces on Lemmy for other stuff weren't so dead

Compare LA to Phoenix AZ and you go from the description of all the things the green text says are aren't true to them being reality. 4 Chan is probably filled with people from conservative shitholes hating life because they live in a conservative shithole

They aren't concerned primarily with employing people or crop yields, agribusiness is a business.

Your sentiment holds entirely if agriculture was entirely dependant on staple crops.

The plateau didn't come out of nowhere. Staple crops are being pushed aside in favor of high margin crops for biofuel and luxury goods. Large agriculture still focuses on short term gains.

Profit per acre is going up. Businesses don't care about increasing yield past a certain extent. If the business is set to profit and is currently profitable then all of these issues are non issues to the business.

I think you might be missing something. If food yields were soaring that would decrease the market value of food. The current agriculture system is designed with profit as the goal and feeding people as a secondary result.

Is a supply chain inefficient? In the current system that's alright, it lets a company charge more to make up for losses and gives them something tangible to justify price hikes.

There's also massive surplus waste and other problems that are prevalent in the current system. Growing to feed local populations rather than growing for export would drastically shift the situation alone and is currently entirely possible, but not nearly as profitable.

Can we get enough food for everyone? Yes. Can we do it while maintaining record high margins? Probably not

Looking at my electrical bill is depressing. It's always power used x and then taxes that are the same as x plus fees. So using $100 in electricity means I pay $220 with over half being taxes and extra fees

Maybe she doesn't seed?

In defense of game devs it's twice as much work to make every outfit have a model for masculine and feminine body types, but your point stands
