That claim is so goofy. There’s too much money to be made in NYC, even with higher taxes. Furthermore, three city is a cultural center that they absolutely want to be a part of.

“You love to see it, folks!”

There are always conclaves within and nearby the city that are deep red. This is often where cops live, which helps maintain the “occupying army” model of policing that dehuminizes the residents.

Voucher schools exist because christofascists found another way to gut funding from public schools and place it in private hands.

Definitely unusual for the business, but I would imagine it’s better for the staff.

I didn’t know this joke had Yiddish origins. Funnily enough, it was told to me by my Jewish grandmother when she was explaining in a convoluted way that I should sweep before mopping 🤣.

I’ve never seen that in the US. That is extremely stupid. Typically maps in the US center around the Atlantic/Europe.

I literally didn’t. There is clearly a barrier that can’t be surpassed here, so I’ll disengage. Best of luck to you.

I think there may be a language barrier here. Stating cats don’t “jive with a vegan lifestyle” is referring to the lifestyle of the individual with the cat, not the opinions cat themselves. A few studies in a controlled environment were they kept cats alive is not the same as what’s best for the cats. There are definitely ethical concerns with attempting that at home.

I was not discussing the philosophy of cats. Cats can not survive, let alone thrive, on a plant based diet. They require meat as a part of their biology.

You’re correct. Cats are obligate carnivores. It’s literally abuse to not feed them meat, so they don’t really jive with a vegan lifestyle regardless of your views on animal companionship.

In the west they are. Anime did not have quite the following that it does now and was widely considered to only be for “nerds”, with a few exceptions, like dragonballz.

When they Nazis.

What’s your proposal?

Most definitely. That’s how I first encountered that clown, and it only got worse from there.

Goat is a trash mod and really should be blocked by everybody so they can exist in their own lemmy echo chamber that they desire.

There are federal officers and contracted security personnel on many bases. Additionally, in a domestic threat situation, sometimes they coordinate with local law enforcement. There was a false alarm on the air force academy about ten years ago and cspd, along with the sheriff’s office, were part of the clearing effort.

That was my point. They’re too ignorant to even understand their own livelihood.

I’m aware of his first term. They knew he was reelected in November and therefore should have known the storm that was coming.

They knew this was coming before the planting season, too. Now, they may have already used their loans on soy, as I’m not sure about the time frame on when their orders would be placed, but they still could have minimized the loss with reduced planting. This is how incredibly stupid these people are. They’ve known since last November he was elected and what his plans were.
