I’m happy seeing a country actively trying to help it’s citizens.
First they decreased poverty through a series of measures - https://apnews.com/article/poverty-mexico-president-andres-manuel-lopez-obrador-social-welfare-c7ec7f184ce8163e84fffa1b9f47aed8
Decreasing sugar intake will reduce obesity and diabetes.
I know Mexico still has major issues.
A real banger
I was getting my haircut and FOX was on the TV when I found out he died from the shooting. Barbershop is Vietnamese owned and the barber was busy on his phone when I get there. I’ve been there many times without FOX on the TV and hope they just put a random news channel on.
Fox was showing the reaction from various congress-critters and they got to AOC. AOC’s message was this another example of we we need some gun control in a much better way than I am relaying. When FOX went back to the host he immediately said she was wrong. HIPAA laws should be relaxed so problematic people could be found before they commit crimes.
His parents, who still live in the US, support him.

i just realized I am logged into different instances on my phone and desktop.
The US and Israel commit daily 9/11s in Gaza/Lebanon/Yemen/Iran/etc.
I agree and find this upsetting as well.
You should be upset about 9/11, you should understand the motivations of those who perpetrated it, you should be upset about the root cause, and you should be disgusted that your country continues to level civilian buildings while casually celebrating it on group chat.
I understand the motivations. I am disgusted by US indiscriminate killing in foreign countries.
You should get over the idea that 9/11 was so uniquely evil, it’s the one time the American empire felt a fraction of the evil it puts out into the world.
Never said 9/11 was unique. I said 9/11 sticks in my head because it was one of the few times “I was scared for my life.” I was scared and could do nothing which is the desired effect of a terrorist act.
Would you have been this upset if Biden suggested the federal government is taking the responsibility to fund the memorial? Would you have opposed ensuring the long term maintenance of it and eliminating the risk of financial issues in the long term?
No
Have you heard their proposal, or you’re rejecting it only because it’s GOP? You know a lot of republicans live in NY and a lot of them died on 9/11, right? You know nearly 3.5 million New Yorkers voted for Trump, right?
I have not heard the proposal but based upon things that have happened during Trump’s second term the proposal will not match reality. Also, I over-generalized NYC’s hatred of Trump. I’m sure he did well in Staten Island.
If there’s one thing the federal government knows how to fund and maintain, it’s war propaganda monuments. Just look at DC, and look at how actual veterans are left to rot homeless and broke while the monuments to honor them are ludicrously grand and luxurious
Agree
I donated when I had more disposable income.
OMG! You work at Bat World Sanctuary. I followed them when I was on twitter after I saw a video of Statler (RIP). I have seen every video of Stalter.
Do you think this new?
I’m over 50 years old and 40 years ago lesbians and gays were considered weird by most. One of my best friend’s older brother was gay when I was a teen. I remember casually mentioning it to my parents. My father got very serious and told me to be careful around him. I quickly shot back there was nothing to worry about. He had three crazy, straight brothers that loved him. Our friend group knew him and he had never been a problem.
Back then you were either cis or an outcast by many.
I considered myself straight until about 15 years ago. Then I started looking at transfem porn. I now know I’m non-binary.
I still have one of these but the hinge broke. It’s small size caused issues when doing car stuff so I also have Klein. bought
Living in a large metro area I can throw nearly anything in the free section of Craigslist and someone will grab it. Old incandescent light bulbs, exterior door locks with matching keys, and a shower head i didn’t like.
If it is metal and no one wants it I can take to a recycling place.
I read this on Sh.itJust.Works and am now commenting from piefed.social.
I haven’t dug in much but really like it.
I’m diagnosed bipolar but realized through memes I have ADHD.
You can have more than one.
I always have an alarm set to take my evening meds. I will snooze the alarm until I finally take them.
Too many times I have shut off the alarm thinking I will take them soon and didn’t. That ruins my sleep and makes the next day weird until I realize what happened.
In the San Francisco Bay Area BART is short for Bay Ares Rapid Transit. It is a local train system.
I reading that in her voice which makes it even funnier.
