"The spread of H5N1 bird flu among animals and the growing possibility of a pandemic"
  • I can’t wait for half his supporters to say he’s doing a great job and Grandma is going to have to die for the economy again.

    When universal healthcare is mentioned: WE'RE GOING TO HAVE GOVERNMENT DEATH PANELS DECIDING IF GRANDMA LIVES OR DIES!

    When a pandemic happens when their guy is in office: The economy should decide if grandma lives or dies. It's the only Reich thing to do.

  • What gives you hope to keep going?
  • The fact that my family would be upset if I stopped living. That's literally it.

    Once my older family members are gone I can finally go too. I have no interest in seeing how terrible the future will be as a perpetually single factory worker schmuck with no income potential to keep up with the exploitation of our economic system.

  • Lemmings, of Lemmy, Have you ever mudered anyone?
  • Yeah, and it was all "above board" as they say so I'm fine as far as the law goes. Doctor prescribed, followed hospice advice, etc...

    Still considering it was the morphine that actually did her in, being the one who gave it to her made me feel responsible for her passing in a way.

  • Lemmings, of Lemmy, Have you ever mudered anyone?
  • So I'll actually answer since I've never shared this even though the post is making a joke.

    It's not really murder I'm sure, but it has stuck with me forever. I took care of my grandmother through the end stages of her cancer as some form of "hospice" care. I was the one that gave her morphine when she needed it and essentially within days of starting it she became more and more zombified and then passed away. It happened within roughly a week. It was only after all that did learn about morphine toxicity in the elderly and realized that even though it helped her with the pain I'm pretty sure I "killed" her. :(

  • Fellow Americans, which family member are you not looking forward to seeing for Thanksgiving that you know will bring up politics?
  • Thankfully not thanksgiving, but Christmas it will be my father... That whole side of the family really. Even my super religious grandmother chimes in with "the immigrants bring in disease!"

    For a group of people that can love their family, they're all filled with so much hate for "others." :/

  • If Trumps tariffs go thru would that not cause the countries the tariffs are imposed on just raise their prices? And a result of that hurt the american consumer? Why do it to begin with?
  • Oh and don't look behind the curtain, it's definitely not Musk or someone similar who owns the consultant companies they happen to use federal funds on, nor do they just so happened to be big donors to Our Lord and Savior Trump™

    No no no, that would be corruption to the core and we all know the incoming administration is comprised of all the Paragons of Virtue™ our society has to offer.

  • How Trump Plans to Seize the Power of the Purse From Congress
  • We better hope if any senators do that they aren't up for reelection in 2026 or the Magoos will vote them out for not going with what The Constitution™ (as presented by Fox News) says.

    "Article 69420: All senators must follow the dictator, there is no power of the purse other than what the dictator says."

  • Supreme Court hearing case on definition of a woman
  • Oh you haven't heard of Chevron Deference yet have you!

    That's the great part, we stopped those pesky experts from having any say anymore so no more interpretation of the intention of a vague law from the EPA or FDA! Now the courts get to decide what the allowed amount of Acrylamide, Phthalates, Perchlorate, Potassium bromate, and Azodicarbonamide, should be in foods and the like if a legal challenge is brought against a company!

    I'm sure good ol' Thomas definitely understands what Azodicarbonamide is and how it affects the body!

    Edit: I'm stupid lol I didn't read the article and didn't realize this was UK....

  • Right to Arm Bears
  • "When I was a child, we could right out into the National Park and club the baby bears to dead with baseball bats all day long and no one done did say nary a thing. But that don't happen no more, since the govement stepped in.", says 78 year Bubba "Bubba" Bunderson of Charlotte, North Carolina."

    Lol I love the nickname just being the same name.

  • Trump’s evasion of January 6 accountability will echo for next four years and generations to come
  • Yeah, but not in the way it seems. There will be no absence of "accountability" there will be "accountability" it just will be Republican lead investigations lying about 2020 and arresting Democrats on false charges of "stealing" that election. They've already said that is the intention. They will not stop crying about 2020 and will use it as an excuse to go full authoritarian on their opposition.

  • Trump’s imminent return has ‘demoralized’ DOJ, former federal prosecutor says
  • Does it matter? They're all going to be replaced with personal attack dogs anyway.

    Lindsay Graham can fuck right off with his projection lying-ass bullshit "the people are sick of lawfare, we're done with that now that Democrats are out."

  • Are men as intimate with there friends as girls are?
  • IDK if it's an easy way to remember or not, but the way I think about it is then relates to time, than relates to a comparison.

    Their relates to ownership. There relates to direction. They*'re* relates to describing (that's probably the easiest as the apostrophe tells you it is a shortened version of two words, "they are")

    To actually answer your question though I can only relate to my personal experience and say no, as a man the men I know don't express emotion that well and we aren't that "close." The women I've known tend to be much closer to their friends, but my experience is limited there.

  • Bubble Nebula NGC 2264

    25 minute exposure of NGC 2264 taken with a seestar s50. Testing the new denoise function added in the most resent seestar firmware update.

    No further post processing so colors seem to be a bit off as a result of the denoise feature, but otherwise an amazing result as most images from the seestar s50 contain a lot of RGB noise!

    Curtis Yarvin: Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas

    newrepublic.com Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas

    Yes, Peter Thiel was the senator’s benefactor. But they’re both inspired by an obscure software developer who has some truly frightening thoughts about reordering society.

    Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas

    Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!

    I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.

    Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.

    From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

    For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
