  • if the Democrats win, the aftermath of the election will bring forth a hoard of former Republicans with no home. do you want them courted by more right wing fascist fuckheads we know nothing about, or the right wing fascist fuckheads who, at least for now, decided full fasch was not their best option?

    the Republican herd needs a soft landing to mitigate future issues. as bad as the Cheney's are, they still have cachet in some important conservative circles. in this fucked up moment, the price might be worth it.

  • looking to slow right the F down? any of the family (meaning not primary islands) islands in the Bahamas, but particularly abaco, eleuthera, long island or andros. 100% totally different way of living than you are likely used to.

    visited many times and wanting to go back before its all gone due to climate change.

    edit: tagging @espentan@lemmy.world cuz I did a dumb and subcommented.

  • isnt what we are currently experiencing an unhealthy reaction to the that same propagandized society? hard to pump shit into peoples heads for decades and not get some sort of sociopathic, immune-like response. many of our fellow citizens really do want to see it all burn right now. everything has been calcified and these people are lashing out in, what I think is, the worst possible way.

    in many respects the very thinking processes of our society have been perverted in service to the whims of the richest. I consider this a bit of a dumbing down of our civic intelligence, but... ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • ok,

    Share of the population using safely managed sanitation facilities

    • 884 million people in the world, approximately 1 in 8, do not have access to safe water
    • 2.5 billion people across the globe lack access to adequate sanitation services
    • 1.4 million children die every year, 1 child every 20 seconds, from diarrhea caused by unclean water and poor sanitation
    • 443 million school days are lost each year to water-related diseases
    • 47% of diarrhea incidents can be reduced by hand-washing with soap at critical times
    • 87% say they washed their hands after using public lavatories
    • 77% actually wash their hands after using a public restroom
    • 46% say they wash their hands for 15 seconds or less
    • 15-20 seconds equals the amount of time recommended for hand-washing with soap and water
    • 200% the average increase in life expectancy at birth since the introduction of modern, indoor plumbing

    but, as you said, all of these figurative people can get right outta town.

    plumbers through history have saved countless lives, whether you think so or not. I say they are in the top 5 all-time life saving professions.

    edit: upvoted you cuz you responded :-)

  • thoughtful. my issue here is while a community is nascent, isnt building maintaining an honest reflection of the community important?

    I have joined a few tiny locally communities based on one post/comment. I may never return and the community traffic is irregular.

    in a situation like that I can see a mod pruning me away for zero comments in a year. however that is a form of censorship. so its back to the default of mods run their communities as they wish and, if you disagree find/create another community or instance.

    thanks for the thoughful comment.

  • dont wanna pile on... but idk, man... next time you use a functional toilet, you might want to consider what you just said.

    plumbers are likely in the top 5 of all time life savers on this planet. just sayin'.

    respect you social work immensely, but everyone's contributions are undervalued in this world.
