If you track the average wealth of Americans it peaked around 1976 and went downhill from there

I do, but boy am I looking for a better keyboard, gboard has really gone downhill, I mean it was never great but it’s just straight up putting completely wrong totally unrelated words in place of REAL FUCKING WORDS. I miss pre-microsoft swiftkey, they had the best text prediction I’ve ever used. I remember in college my friend and I had a convo about how it was so good that he would have a full text to his dad perfectly predicted and he felt bad because he basically let a robot do the thinking for him lol. Now it’s been gutted by microsoft, and the text correction is just as janky as gboard.

Locked for rule 5

I fucking hate this country

It is very possible in our lifetime we will see famine and fresh water shortage.

My biggest fear is climate change tbh, trump, facism, and capitalism are terrible, but the biggest threat to the future of humanity is climate change

who is considered “obese” is often determined by the BMI which is a flawed scale to determine health and wellness, you can read about it here: https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/why-you-shouldnt-rely-on-bmi-alone

Absolutely there is such thing as unhealthily fat and weight being a detriment to your health, but there are 100% people who are, by modern beauty standards, “fat” and still very active and healthy by all measured metrics. Body types are different and some people will be more stocky than others, and I think that’s what the “fat acceptance” movement is really about

This post technically doesn’t go against out rules, aside from not having a question mark, so I will leave it up, but please note that there is no way to verify this person is actually who they say they are, and you should be wary of misinformation online.

Hey friend, technically this post doesn’t follow our rules Please make sure to ask a question in the title, thanks :)

I just use dayquil now but thanks for the rec, I’ll have to check that one out

Took some nyquil because I wasn’t feeling well, I had stayed up until like 4 and I was too tired to realize that the drowsiness wouldn’t wear off before I woke up. Got up feeling almost drunk and drove to work. I feel asleep on the road and woke up with just enough time to slow down before rear ending someone at 50 mph.

Fuck hasbro for what they’ve done to WOTC

Schools in the US were designed to prepare kids for factory jobs initially. A lot of the structure related to that has changed but the amount of time you spend at school hasn’t. Realistically you’d want a kid to spend less time at school. But schools are now used to prepare kids for working all day and then giving up their free time to their employer. That may be a little tin hat-ie, but it’s at least partially true. However as a kid a few extra hours at school wouldn’t have cut it for me. I preferred to do my work at home, I was also super distractible because I had adhd. Additionally as others have said that just wouldn’t be feasible for a lot of kids/families.

Yeah really, if a justice literally says checks and balances don’t exist, maybe we should listen and respond accordingly. Also maybe we should fire him, and most of the others.

You can’t lump in blm riots in there, those were protests stoked to violence by police officers, so what you should be saying it’s, corrupt police forces resulting in blm protests

For one, if your post was removed we are required to put a removal reason to remove it.

Two, I see no record of it in the mod log. Are you sure it just wasn’t a victim of the intermittent downtime issues lemmy.world has had these past few weeks?

I’d say pg-13 is an appropriate rating, its got some mild dirty humor but nothing crazy.
