I feel like in order to be a political prisoner you would have to actually be in prison. You’re almost there, not quite. We’ll see if it comes full circle.

An unremorseful felon* (Not to split hairs)

I’m happy to say that I emphatically want better wages for service industry workers. IDC how much food goes up, or how many mega franchises have to close for it. Either better wages, or cause these these super franchises to close so mom and pops and open instead.

I also don’t think it’s unrealistic to expect businesses to give up a small portion of their infinite growth targets to actually cover their employees needs. Maybe a large departure from the past 50 years, but it’s absolutely something most of them can afford.

If a business genuinely can’t afford it, then I’d also be okay with my tax money going towards a business analysis for that owner to find a way to make it work. If they still can’t, then how long were they really going to be open anyway and what were they really adding to their community?

Michelangrow?

If the typical cop can’t be expected to uphold their duty to protect and serve then they don’t need to be a cop. I do not care if American courts have suddenly decided that the oath and slogan used my police for decades is not binding.

They don’t need bigger or better weapons, they need brains. They had access to cameras in the building. They knew and could have tracked the gunman using those. Set up around two corners near them, team 1 supresses to distract then team two takes out the gunman. Deploying the national guard would take too long, and not all cities have a swat team.

If “typical” cops aren’t expected to risk their safety, then I expect them to take a “typical” paycut. Actually maybe that’s what should happen. Separate real police and law enforcement. Real police get firearms and responsibilities, law enforcement can worry about tickets and fines.

You can also plant lots of pollen producing plants or borage to help lacewings thrive. And of course don’t use pesticides

Please don’t kill these insects. While these only eat pollen, their larvae are highly carnivorous and will eat tons of pests.

This is honestly pretty close to what I saw on Acid. I told my partner that I saw eyes and mouths on the wall, but non-threateningly. She thought I meant like a bleeding wall of gross flesh. Now i can show her what I meant.

Just for clarification, try what?

Isn’t this a protest against genocide? Did you see somewhere that protest organizers were advocating for antisemitism? Could you link that for us? That would be very helpful context. Thanks

I’m sorry, but isn’t this the exact definition of what they themselves call “grooming”?

Hi friend! This looks like better context to me, so I’ll add it here:

Anyone who knowingly pays someone else to request, collect, or deliver absentee ballots could face a Class B felony charge—the same felony class as first-degree manslaughter in Alabama—which carries a prison sentence of up to 20 years. Anyone who is paid to request, collect, complete, prefill, obtain or deliver a voter’s absentee ballot faces a class C felony—the same felony class as looting, third-degree robbery and stalking—punishable by up to ten years in prison

It sounds like this bill prevents people from showing voters how to fill out a ballot as well as picking up sealed ballots to deliver. The sentences look to be more severe than most of Alabama’s election laws too. I’m looking forward to seeing how this is handled in court.

I hear you, and I can only speak from my own cultural education, which I learned over time from exposure.

In this meme, I feel that “tipping landlords” is pretty apparent, given that landlords are not employees nor do they provide a service. I’ve never known anyone to give a tip to a landlord.

“Cuck Chair” should be another tip off as well, since this is a reference to another meme.

You would have to have the cultural-economic knowledge to know

This is likely true of most memes though, where the culture to know, are memes themselves. Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra, and whatnot.

There are indeed already college and university courses to study memes, so if I were to seriously think about what to teach in a highschool I’d probably base the curriculum somewhat on that.

Thank you for elaborating. That sounds better reasoned than the first comment. I suspect the original comment you had replied to was lamenting that there were only 2 per state and not proportionate to population. I learned a new word today: Bicameral. I appreciate your reply!

This isn’t a Lemmy problem, this is just the Internet. I feel like we need to start teaching how to recognize sarcasm and parody in different styles to kids in school.

Out of curiosity, what’s the reason?

Relevant:

There’s a restaurant space near me that shares a building with a coin laundry, this space has different restaurants cycle in and out at least once a year. I never see anyone eating there, and everything about the interior screams “minimum required to stay open”
