The proper etiquette is “not there”. Just because you feel the need doesn’t mean it needs to be here and now. When you’re disrupting other people you’re also causing a hazard to you and them. You can turn on a side street or go around the block or turn into a parking lot so you don’t obstruct traffic don’t cause a hazard, and it may only add a few seconds

Note that your gps would guide you around the block or other place you can do it safely

You realize the church isn’t getting the money, the church is using the money

to house immigrant children entering the U.S. without adult supervision

You’re not hurting the church when you no longer let them use your money to help care for the needy, you’re only hurting those needy

Don’t let your hatred of organized religion distract who this hurts

“That’ll show them I’m the good guy”

Fantastic that seeing consequences for some of their actions …. And there’s no presidential pardon keeping him above the law

I’m sure that’s a common way for McDonalds to add yet more rules to their franchisee agreement

wtf, have they met a constitutional human right they haven’t violated?

I’m not sure it’s actually a good thing for electors to go against their voters but it’s a workaround that may make things better by ensuring the winner is the actual overall popular vote winner

One of my key takeaways is that it may have some value in aggregate, like this study, but does not tell an individual how smart they are

I wondered that when I started reading: is this actual science, or being forced to disprove the idiots yet again? But right at the beginning it talked about bringing first of its kind, actual data, yadda yadda … reads like actual science, like something that adds value to our knowledgebase

You lost me here. We knew there was some evidence that high doses were bad, your article says high doses are bad where “high” is twice the recommended, and this new study says actual use is fine

Accepting everything at face value here since I don’t have energy to dig right now, I’m not seeing anything inconsistent

Gotta have those small logs, or split logs to get a good fire going

Look how white that hand is compared to his orange complexion: he’s wearing gloves

He was always dishonest, egocentric, always a conman …. But sane

While it’s tempting to believe there has to be a plan, a strategy, someone must have thought this out, history of this administration proves otherwise. Over and over

Ventilation, with an accessible shutoff. You know, for the safety of linesmen

I’m sure the Trump family are comfortably provided for, somewhere in that $4.1B

We have laws against treason that just need to be enforced.

Once you disregard the consequences, because “woke”, and predict gas prices to be constant for 30 years, then more efficiency is just a cost with no benefit. If your only consideration is immediate profit to a corporate owner, any cost is “fraud, waste and abuse”. /s

Nyt is an interesting case because they do have good quality reporting i might be willing to pay for. Then they post some ultra-conservative sociopathic stuff on their op-ed or opinion page and I want to block their shit.

Washington Post was also under consideration before it got Bezo’d

Huh, I came here to say the opposite. If people were similar to me, a weak paywall is exactly right

I hate the idea of paying per article: I don’t know the value at the time nor do I know whether they’re trustworthy. If something posted here isn’t readable without pay, I’m not reading it.

However I do recognize news sources the I find useful, that are high quality, that are likely to have more well done news, and i do subscribe to a couple

On the other hand I also pay a news aggregator and have no idea how their sources are paid. Do they get a cut per article I read? Is it effectively advertising where they offer teaser articles and hope to sell me a subscription?

Edit: it’s a mix of revenue

Apple News publishers earn revenue through a combination of ad placements and subscription fees, with payment models favoring those who use Apple News Format (ANF) and generate high engagement. Key revenue streams include selling their own ads (100% of revenue), utilizing Apple-sold “backfill” ads (70% revenue), and receiving a portion of Apple News+ subscription revenue based on total time spent reading.
