I suppose the common response would be that preventing billionaires from hoarding insane amounts of wealth would remove incentive from them to “innovate and create jobs”. Not that I buy that as being true or worth the wealth disparity currently seen.

I completely understand your argument and I agree, but I would also say that acceptance of other races, sexualities, nationalities, etc is , at its core, just kindness, and that MAGA generally dislikes kindness toward anyone who isn’t cis, white, and American, or a token minority who agrees with their policies. That’s kind of one of the main problems with MAGA.
I simply don’t pick them up. They seems to like it on the ground.

News@lemmy.world•DoorDasher in Indiana arrested for allegedly pepper-spraying deliveryEnglish
14·6 days agoIt can happen. Systemic absorption as opposed to only local effects of eye drops can have a big impact, and if you’re trying to poison someone, you’re probably putting in most of a bottle of eye drops (5-15ml) instead of the few drops you would put in your eye, so potentially a ~100x higher dose.
Just thinking briefly about it, I think the more dangerous eye drops would cause lower blood pressure if taken orally or potential kidney problems depending on the drug.
It would probably have to be a high dose to seriously affect a healthy young person, but an older person or someone with underlying health issues or other interacting medications could more easily be affected.
Although the mechanism is simple, I think the idea is if you’ve never actually seen how a bra clasp works, and are trying to do it for the first time blind and when you’re in a new sexual encounter, you’re more likely to fumble it and make a fool of yourself.
Ideally you’d be able to use a password manager to autofill your passwords, but if you’re on company hardware, they may not allow you to install the password manager. May be able to get IT to make an exception since it should only boost your security.
If you have to use shared hardware, then that sucks, I’m in the same boat.

41·10 days agoNo, but their plastic surgery isn’t hurting anyone. It just feels bad to me to make fun of someone’s appearance, especially women. It seems like something the misogynists currently in power would do. Plus, there’s no shortage of other legitimate criticisms of these people.

822·11 days agoI thought we were past making fun of people’s appearances. This kind of thing just hurts innocent people who look similar to the people you’re making fun of, even if your actual target is a fascist.
Zorcron@piefed.ziptoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•Firewood Banks Aren't Inspiring. They're a Sign of CollapseEnglish
4·11 days agoI don’t think the article is arguing that the wood banks should just go away, but that they shouldn’t be necessary, and their expansion is a symptom of the failing system.
It’s the “orphan-crushing machine” again. People band together to do something good that needs to be done because of systemic failures, and most reporting on it focuses on the good done instead of talking about fixing the systemic failures. This article is just the response to that, a different way of looking at the same event.
Not the exact same replies, but this is as clean as I could find.

Television@piefed.social•Just ended what must be my 4th rewatching of The Pitt -- must be the greatest medical show of all timesEnglish
171·13 days agoRealism, mostly. It’s in pretty much real time. Each hour-long episode covers one hour of an ED shift, and the medical problems are actually believable.
I haven’t seen the Good Doctor but House MD is mostly luck and medical malpractice. I like the show, but it’s not realistic in the slightest.
Yeah I really hope we figure out some metadata, chain of custody, or something cool like this structured lighting idea to clearly identify real and fake images and video soon.
I thought the same, but it’s definitely Sora-generated
Yeah, a pretty common prompt it looks like. I gotta be more on the lookout for this crap.

Yeah, I mean whether you subscribe to the belief or not, that is the general liberal thinking. If they thought differently, they probably wouldn’t be liberals anymore.
