  • Honestly I’m kinda OK with that.

    A) the legal drinking age, age of consent, voting age, and age of Draft/ military eligibility should be the same. Whether that’s 21 or 18 or whatever is up for debate, but if you’re old enough to kill people at your country’s behest you should be old enough to decide what goes in your body.

    B) Lots of countries are pretty lax about kids drinking small amounts of alcohol, and it doesn’t lead to increased negative outcomes.



  • No, if you’re low income and don’t get healthcare through your employer it’s pretty fucking awesome compared to what came before it, which was “oh, well you see the hospital exit there? Keep going until you hit the gutter and die there kthnx bye. Oh, you have insurance? Well your provider says this is a pre-existing condition, so refer to my original statement.”

    The subsidies on the ACA marketplace make insurance feasible, and the restrictions on pre-existing conditions make it actually useful. Even after being gutted.

    You’re spreading misinformation that could legitimately cause people harm by not seeking out coverage through Obamacare. Could it be better? Of course.


  • Southern people just like symbols of slavery. What’s wrong with celebrating symbols of slavery? It’s how I was raised. I don’t need to consider how descendants of slaves feel about seeing the battle flag of slavers celebrated. People who murdered hundreds of thousands of people so they could continue owning black people just used it as a symbol of institutional hate, what’s so wrong with that?






  • As someone who works for tips in catering, I’d quit the moment tips stopped coming in. $15/hr minimum wage made sense in 2019, today my family would be fucking homeless even with my wife working full time, and I live in a fairly low CoL city. I’d literally be better off not working because daycare costs almost the same amount that I would make.

    Meanwhile I’d have to deal with the stress of 5 assholes every day who think it’s ok to order $500 worth of food a piece with 2 hours of notice. No thanks.

    The restaurant industry would come to a grinding halt.

    Might just be the insane amount of sodium in the meal. Arby’s is salty af. Too much salt can cause diarrhea cause your body wants to reach equilibrium and dumps water into your gut to make it isotonic.

    The American physique is prepared for this salt assault by being chronically under hydrated.


  • I feel like you’re being deliberately obtuse, or just trying to be adversarial for the sake of it. His point is that what was going on in the asshole’s head was that he was stopping an active shooter situation. He thought that because he was a moron. Had he not had a gun, the moron couldn’t have murdered people.

    There’s always going to morons, so the problem here is that he was allowed to have a gun. Unless your position is that morons should be euthanized, then you must agree that the solution is gun control, or that morons murdering indiscriminately is 👍





  • I mean give it a go. Yeah, it’s easy to distinguish in a common sense sort of way. It’s very much not an easy problem to solve in coherent legal wording, or it would’ve been already.

    I agree that discrimination against vulnerable populations should absolutely not be ok, and women especially should have safe spaces to escape abusers even if it’s difficult to make a legal argument.

    Anyway, that’s going to have to suffice for my argument, my daughter needs my attention more than lemmy😅
