Hey, some people pay a lot of money to get kicked in their nuts.

And Americans have bankrolled about 1/3 of that.

Rumor is that a ceasefire deal including a prisoner swap is imminent: https://x.com/PlateofHummus/status/1878128931406225840

If these accounts are just banned from certain communities, then why does it say “banned” in their profiles when viewed from my instance?

Wait I think I figured it out. These accounts have been banned from the instances on which they were created and I guess my instance just keeps track.

Same. I’ve banned a few users, but I have hundreds of users listed as banned. Going by their usernames I probably would have banned many of them myself, but I’m certain that I’ve never interacted with the vast majority of these accounts. Likewise, I don’t know what’s going on with that.

“AJ, get in the Eva!”

We need a Japanese version of The Sopranos.

In a Pixelfed or Mastodon post, if you end the post with the handle of a Lemmy community, it will usually post to that Lemmy community. Here is an example of a Pixelfed post showing up on Lemmy:

Maybe the dads are supposed to work double shifts.

I think even just getting rid of at-will employment for expectant parents and people with dependents would provide safe incentive for having more kids.

How does threatening women with forced hysterectomies even make sense? Is the solution to increase birthrates not as simple as implementing policies that just make having a family easier, like better job security and shorter work days/weeks/years?

The mutually assured destruction we need in the world.

Storage is a kludge. Regardless of the power source, we should be building power plants to consistently exceed electricity demand. The excess power can go towards hydrogen production and desalination.

That’s right.

Here’s a link to the paper referenced by the article. Not sure why it wasn’t included with the article. Anyway, this chart stood out to me:

Don’t believe or respect anyone who says the White House is working on a ceasefire deal. This administration has clearly been working on just the opposite.

Yeah. Non-zero chance something happened to her outside of the oven and someone put her body in there.

My house in the winter if I let my wife have free reign over the thermostat.

Thank you. The article was not paywalled for me and I am not a Washington Post subscriber.
