Even though you're right, I think this sentiment minimizes the horrific things the American christian right is doing.

I keep seeing multiple variations of this comment on every single lemmy post about christian conservatives. Idk if it's like an astroturfing thing or what, but it normalizes these kind of fascist acts. We should be shocked. We should be surprised and outraged and insulted. The minute we're not is when it becomes normal. And we know that's dangerous af because we're already watching it happen.

This shit is like an SNL parody of America

I thought it was illegal now for airlines to keep people on the tarmac for hours like this

It's also so much more expensive to buy from small, local businesses. Not everyone can afford to do that, no matter how much they hate buying from Amazon or Walmart.

I think the assumption they're making with that comment is that this is a result of a higher population of Black women in a specific area of TN, but "more likely to die" isn't necessarily the same as "more deaths," though that may also be true. As the doctor in the article points out, there are factors like discrimination by health care professionals (such as not being believed when they're telling the doctor there is a problem) and complications that occur in higher numbers in Black women (which can be due to other facors stemming from systemic racism such as income, healthcare access, environmental racism, etc).

This is a short article, but there's plenty of papers out there about how people are treated differently by doctors and have different levels of access to healthcare in the US based on what population they belong to (racial, ethnic, lgbtq+, etc) and that women of color typically have the poorest healh outcomes.

Can we please just ban psypost already? It's just pseudo pop science with intentionally misleading clickbaity headlines

If what it really came down to for people is "taxpayer spending," then forcing churches to pay taxes should be a front and center issue for conservatives.

But it's not. Gee I wonder why.

Thank you, I'm so sick of hearing it. It's just another cop out from climate change deniers.

In a hotel? Of course. There's all those "extended stay" hotels and in some places they have weeklies, which you can rent for a night or a week or a month. But the point is, all the rooms are the same so you know exactly what you're getting.

And yet when I looked at places in Vegas, they were all shittier and more expensive than actual hotels. I really wanted to save money, so I really tried to give it a chance, but nothing that came up was worth it when I could just get an actual hotel. And the more I thought about it, I'm also just not comfortable using AirBnB as a single woman. Maybe other people have felt totally safe and had nothing happen and that's great. But I know I would never feel one hundred percent certain there's no cameras, and that whoever's renting it wouldn't just walk right in.

I've also seen those AirBnB management companies renting out rooms in the larger LV casinos for the same price, with the same amenities, and with the same resort fees. That one's a total mystery to me.

And now they're advertising AirBnB "rooms" or whatever it's called where you sleep in a bedroom in the same house as the owner? While the owner is just...there?! That would just be so uncomfortable and awkward to begin with, but it also just kind of seems like a matchmaking app for serial killers.
