“The agency claims authority to regulate everything from a power lawnmower’s design,” he wrote, “to the level of ‘contact between trainers and whales at SeaWorld.’”

I fail to see anything wrong with either thing like… is he just mad it is not the people who sell lawn mowers should decide what’s safe?? Please please please don’t tell me Americans are going to dip to this new level of cognitive dissonance

Just not nearly as much, and most importantly they are held much less accountable for those things without OSHA or similar oversight…

I love how these look like Lego pieces snapped onto a green base.

Even if all that is painted cement or something it is also just really refreshing to see architecture, especially the sort of necessity eyesore that tech architecture/engineering requires, also being mindfully the environment it will exist in to some degree. Even if it is only visual.

What order of events was this conversation?? I never could get into tumblr/Twitter reply format I’m so confused. Who shot first

Edit (and gonna reply to this edit the same thing cuz lemmy sucks at showing them and this is important) Ok I read another comment and it definitely put into context for me how this is hypocrital too!!! They wanna protect the children while doing this shit in unexpected places in front of children where it is much more graphic, traumatizing, and upsetting than the sanitized facts you’re getting , in an environment you’re anticipating and prepared for it and can sorta joke with classmates too …

They wanna outlaw that but she’s down to whip a dick out and get sloppy in public.

Sorry to be pedantic but this isn’t being a hypocrite is it? I see it more like absolute ignorance, tiger ate my face, refusal to acknowledge science data and facts, etc that is also all very republican 101. But for once idk how hypocrite just thr extra layer of stupid

She looks ready for the 4th of July pie eating contest!!

To actually explain why, I think it’s because the theory is our president and politicians are supposed to be actually representing the people and have their saftey, best interest, and goals and/or morals in mind first and foremost.

Damn I can see how that sounded perfect forever ago. Wonder which of our proposed solutions to current problems would have similar unexpected consequences, and I wonder what those would look like.

Sorry if none of this made sense or was coherent to anyone. Don’t try to reread it I’m just high

Yo queiro taco holder

Indoor cats ONLY for life bro.

It would be a security donkey. For the strays and idiots that have outdoor cats. I’d probably have to name him Batman; idk if legally I’d have another option at that point.

Buy yeah I guess you’re right on living conditions, damn logic

Legit was mindblown when my friend got glasses and was so fascinated that trees had leaves! Happy to know that appreciating this beautiful detail of nature is a bit of a universal experience

Ok are donkeys known for fighting off coyotes or something??? Should I be getting backyard donkeys to protect the neighborhood cats? And how did I go for so many years on the internet just learning this now?

I am so sorry for what you went through and that you still struggle with symptoms today.

I honestly read this as a near fatal Rollercoaster accident and I was struggling so hard because boy did I want to know more of what that meant, but how insensitive to ask!

I’m sorry it wasn’t that. At least then you could avoid going on a roller-coaster ever again but it was and probably still is difficult being in or driving a car. I hope you’re doing well!

I know this is now such a cliche thing to say but I legitimately expected this headline to be from the onion.

We have far-right “christians” trying to turn the US into a theocracy and install a dictator. Have you seen the documentary God Forbid (hulu), shiny happy people (prime), or the much older netfflix doc, the family? I only ask because you’re basically making the same conclusions I got from watching them.

Stop you’re making me cry. It’s so “funny cuz it’s sad” it went past the point of being funny.

you’re not wrong.

If they abolish no fault divorce it WILL cost lives

That is the bottom fucking line. There is no argument against divorce that exists that can prevent that. Wait no there is, oh golly they will make exceptions for abuse. That sure fucking sounds familiar. Hmm like maybe it was the concession ‘pro-life’ would make for abortion.

And look how that turned out.

Before roe v wade was overturned they were all about protecting the abused, somewhat, with caveats. Kinda like they are talking about divorce here innit?

Oops realized I didn’t answer your question and I noticed lemmy doesn’t have great track record of showing edits.

So yeah I was curious cuz as an American I still don’t get it. Ca Gov Regan passed no fault divorce and we are arguing about it fucking 50 years later because maybe someone haves to give away too much money/property? I fucking hate it.

As a woman in the United States I feel like I’m constantly fighting against the political future (if not the practical reality of) the handmaid’s tale.

Show or book, whatever medium floats your boat it is powerful and real and speaks so much of similar lived experiences… it should be consumed, digested, and change you after. That is my favorite type of media.

But also it is a sort of coping mechanism cuz I 100% can see the show or book happening. And while this seems off topic yeah it all starts with religion dictating law based on their morals which gee… I sure see the church. But never Christ.

So familiar.
