  • The bus driver is heard saying that they “do this every week.”

    “And I don’t think there’s any problem,” they are heard saying to the parents before driving away.

    Japanese Lolita fashion is pretty distanced from from Nabokov's original conception. If this person is just dressing in that fashion, and put the sign in reference to that, I could almost understand it, and concede there might not have been anything predatory in nature intended.

    But if you're a Westerner, you should be pretty damn aware of how people might interpret it on a bus meant to transport children. Like how dumb can you be?

  • The GHF was established amid Israeli accusations that Hamas is stealing aid in Gaza and profiting off its sale but the organization has been controversial from the get-go and criticized by multiple international aid agencies.

    Multiple aid workers were killed after a bus was attacked in Gaza on Wednesday night, according to a US-backed humanitarian aid organization

  • For being so left leaning, it's disappointing that Lemmy is this wishwashy on vegnism. They'll "support" your decision to practice it yourself, but suggesting that their actions aren't victimless will still get you a lot of hate here.

    The phantasms of carnism still run deep, I guess. Being forced to confront ideas that make people reassess who they are is always a challenging process.

  • I feel like this is absolutely not fine. I know the facade would help protect the interior, but if any shear force is applied to the core, that thing is less stable than a fifty-move jenga tower.

    If the facade were to rot, let's say, and someone were to lean against it, they might end up having the whole thing collapse on them.

    I don't work in construction, but I don't think there's any way that meets modern building codes. If a contractor left something like that for me, I'd be getting it inspected for sure.

  • Just spitballing here, but I kinda wonder if modern tech isn't worsening children's impulse control. Having constant instant gratification surely has some negative effects on it.

    Anecdotal evidence here, but my friends who are parents cut way back on how much tech time their kids got, and they said there was a huge improvement in their general behaviour.

  • That's fair. Nobody should be suggesting we do ignore those risks. Obviously wash all your veggies well. But its still important to inform people that intensified animal farming is the source of a myriad of wide scale human health risks.

  • You know you can get salmonella from plants too, right?

    That's a little disingenuous framing. The salmonella usually gets on the plants from contaminated water, and the water gets contaminated by waste runoff from sick animals.

    No matter how you look at it, mass animal agriculture is the main culprit.

  • TL;DR: it's actually November.

    Okay so 9 months prior to August is...

    You can simply subtract 9 or add 3 to the month number. If you want to verify, break out your hands and get counting months. Start with no fingers raised for November, then raise a finger every month you count, and see where you get to when you have 9.

    Wait fuck does that include the first month

    A duration is going to include the starting and ending months. Do a very simple example: January (1) to February (2) is one month (2 - 1 = 1).

    If you feel silly for messing this up, don't. Off by one errors are incredibly common. I always count them out just to double check em myself.
