At least someone can argue that caffeine serves a purpose. If you want to stay wired, there ya go, and it isnāt nearly as addictive as nicotine. Youāre right about flavored vapes, though. Thatās some bullshit.
Iām very glad I actually did a little bit of research on the candidates for the school board in my area. One was focused on test scores, but also āslashingā costs (and yes, I put āslashingā in quotes because that was the actual word the candidate used in the article I read). Hmm.
The other had done volunteer work, and talked about strengthening the community.
It took me weeks to get used to the fact that I didnāt have to expect aggressive negativity, and to realize that it was okay to give people the benefit of the doubt. I thought I knew how toxic and negative reddit had become, but I didnāt really get it until I compared it to Lemmy.
No wiggle room whatsoever. Under any circumstances.
Whenever Iām short on cash, I show up unannounced at my local hospital with a roll of duct tape, some pliers, or whatever other tools I have lying around. (Between you and me, Iām usually drunk, too.)
I āfixā anything that looks broken. They are legally obligated to pay me for my services. I made about $27,000 last year. I could have made more if it wasnāt for all that community service taking up my time. Fuck you, Judge Anderson!
State lawmakers gave regulators the authority to inspect funeral homes without the ownersā consent last year, but no additional money was provided for increased inspections.
But this way, politicians can say they addressed the problem when campaign time rolls around! The system works!
That dipshit was so close to getting it, yet so far.
Menthol cigarette advertising was/is targeted heavily to black people. Itās possible that banning menthol will give people the nudge they need to quit, so it could end up helping black people more than average.
Iāve only seen two or three videos from this guy, but I like him. Heās thoughtful and tackles complex issues intelligently, but keeps things accessible.
I also appreciate him introducing me to the phrase āBlack Lives Marketingā. Itās great to have a phrase for insincere empathy and inclusion done solely for profit.
Yes. I had a science teacher devote a significant portion of a dayās lecture to that exact subject: the difference between accuracy and precision. You got it right.
For example, if you have a digital scale that displays weight to five decimal points, itās precise. If that scale hasnāt been properly calibrated, though, it will give you a very precise number that isnāt accurate.
Donāt feel bad, fungi. Lots of people informally lump you in with plants. Itās not personal.
