Obvious slang is obvious.

Rich people can still live effectively from paycheck to paycheck, while a wealthy person’s wealth is tied up in assets. This means they can’t necessarily splurge a ton of cash on a yacht or similar luxuries, but they can live comfortably off the interest without having to work.
Wealthy people can use their wealth to secure low interest loans when they want to splirge. They just don’t tend to do it as much as rich people because the mindset that leads to long term wealth involves splurging less offen and only when it is affordable without negatiely impacting their wealth.
But his accounts of other episodes are bolstered by his contemporaneous notes, video footage and text messages exchanged by members of the unit and reviewed by The Times.
He is confirmed reliable witness for other episodes, so there is good reason to believe him here too.
This punishes the poor in rural areas. Unless you are referring to only cities that will also be improving mass transit at the same time, increasing costs has only downsides.
I’m not interested in being polite to people who want to take away rights, promote discrimination, and try to overthrow elections.
The idea sounds great in theory, but seems like a bad idea with the massive rise in fascism.
How the US inspired the Nazis: not so much.
…and then we fought a war over it. Do you need to be introduced to a calendar?
It explains what it does, it does not confirm that it is what was intended.
The president can’t be charged for any crimes they commit when on duty, just like cops and CEOs.
You do know that is a problem, right?
Glad to know I’m getting downvoted because I don’t support becoming the very thing we’re supposedly fighting against.
“Don’t fight back, just lay back and take it!”
Wartime spending is temporary and will lead to massive layoffs and a recession when Putin’s failed attempt to start WWIII finally ends.
It isn’t like the US post WWII where there is a world waiting to buy the excess US manufacturing output to rebuild. Our decline in manufacturing is a combination of less need and the eventual shipping overseas as rebuilt nations started to crank up their lwn industries and US companies decided they would make more short term profits by outsourcing.
Russia on the other hand has made bedfellows with China and North Korea, neither of which is likely to have any interest in Russian manufacturing in the short term, if at all. If China keeps leaning into renewables, Russia’s fossil fuel industry will also collapse.
Putin doesn’t have only his ego to worry about when it comes to admitting defeat in Ukraine.
He also likes to say he is in favor and against things, often in the same sentence, so his followers can latch onto whichever meaning suits them.
…they knew they must be wendigo because they looked like normal people but something just felt wrong about how they behaved.
Humans have a pretty good knack of recognizing things without understanding the cause. Wendigo sounds kind of like a cannibal who got a prion disease, with the unusual physical behaviors.
I don’t understand how you thought this guy was being a dick just because he said “fucking stupid”…are you really that sensitive?
Of course not, what a stupid fucking question.
Thank you for answering the question!
As a third party user, I also see the icon only on feddit.io view of the community and not on the lemmy.world view of the community (or on midwest.social). In fact, I don’t see any icon on LW or MS, just feddit.
I wonder if the community had it up last month and the change to the icon didn’t federate.
I didn’t double down on anything. I pointed out not being aware of knowledge being the reason for asking a question.
You are doubling down on being a jerk though.
Solar stills are only useful in certain, niche circumstances and are improvised with materials on hand.
Finding some transparent, eco-friendly sheeting and packing it just to run a solar still is fucking stupid.
Seems like you are being a dick because someone else didn’t know that this was something that could only be used in emergency situations and nobody plans for those. I mean you could have said ‘filter straws are a better option if you are planning ahead’ if this method is worse, but I bet you feel a lot better having trash talked someone for not being aware of some additional context not present in the OP.
People are often romantic and playful during the wedding ceremony and afterwards as well.
It’s gonna be rough when they get married!
Tons of people do this for bartenders that open bottles for them, or poor liquid from the tap into a glass. coffee shops are similar enough settings that people will often do it out of habit.
The difference of course being that bartenders get paid barely anything and tips are expected to be the majority of their income while baristas are supposed to be paid regular wages.
Personally I would rather every job including service jobs be paid a living wage with tips going away entirely.
