don@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•A judge has barred Washington from enforcing a state law that would have required Churches to report child abuse. The judge says the law infringed on freedom of religion4·22 hours agoEstudillo ruled that requiring disclosure of information priests hear in the confessional infringes on their First Amendment right to practice religion and will force them to violate their sacred vows or face punishment by the state.
The church’s recorded propensity for rampant pedophilia legally demonstrates that they hold noting sacred other than pedophilia and other forms of abuse, making the judge’s ruling (among many other things) invalid. Ignore that idiot, Washington.

That shit sucked harder than a black fucking hole, and it’s a horrible thing. I do hope it recovers from its Netanyahu infection, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

They touch all manner of things that have had contact with all manner of nasty shit, and those people do just fine.
Know how? Gloves. PPE. I’m pretty fucking sure the person recycling vape batteries, at the very least, considered this, and is even likely using PPE. How this simple and obvious concept has seemingly avoided your thought processes entirely is baffling, but not my problem.
Your apparent mysophobia does not make the modest recycling efforts of others fucking weird just because you’re disgusted by it. Stop assuming the very worst of a situation and stop being fucking weird.

Not dildos, fucking vapes. You could’ve compared batteries to used fucking drinking straws, but decided to zero in on used condoms, instead. That’s stupefyingly fucking weird.
Do you actually fucking believe their hands are drenched with body fluids after harvesting the batteries? Do you think all vapes are just completely covered with spit and semen?
Jesus fucking christ, is there any part of your fucking brain that has any connection to sense, any at all?

don@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•Disposable E-Cigarettes More Toxic Than Traditional Cigarettes: High Levels of Lead, Other Hazardous Metals Found in E-Cigarettes Popular with TeensEnglish1·1 day agoDo condoms come with lithium batteries? No? Well that’s pretty fucking weird. So they recycle batteries and you complain about vapes. Try being actually useful for once.
It’s the primary symptom of being infected with the broke mind virus, which effectively all republicans suffer.

don@lemmy.catoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•It always seems to match their personalities at leastEnglish2·2 days agoDoing a quick search on “Yorshik” (Ёршик), of the very few sources I could find on the topic, while the word does seem to translate to “brush” there doesn’t seem to be any surface connection to toilet brush per se, though naturally it may be possible on a colloquial level.
This source that deals with meanings and etymologies of Russian words says:
Слово «ёршик» является диалектным выражением, используемым в русском языке для обозначения маленькой ёлочной игрушки в виде ёлочной ветки или шишки. Это слово имеет древнерусское происхождение и связано с древними славянскими обрядами, связанными с поклонением природе и деревьям.
Which DDG translate says means
The word “brush” is a dialectal expression used in the Russian language to refer to a small Christmas tree toy in the form of a Christmas tree branch or cone. This word is of Old Russian origin and is associated with ancient Slavic rites associated with the worship of nature and trees.
The only other resource I’ve found is this 11 year old YouTube video in Russian, that I can’t really understand. They seem to be joking about something, and “New Year” is mentioned, but I didn’t hear the word for toilet.
As far as I can understand, Yorshik seems to mean “brush” or “little brush”.

But seriously, I left when the api was shut down and I could no longer use Apollo to browse. There were other signs, but that was my tipping point.
Fuckin duh.
