Pretty sure it’s been going on a while, but unless you’ve changed jobs in the last two years it’s unlikely you feel these effects. Employers dont give raises in line with inflation but they’re sure paying new employees a lot more than they used to.
Yeah exactly! I’ve been around a lot of guns in my life, have shot several different types, come from a hunting family, yadda yadda. Honestly people in general shouldn’t be blanket trusted to be safe with weapons, because in my experience many of them just are not. I don’t think having guns is a problem in itself, we just need to make sure people are safe. Many serious self-defense experts advocate for running or removing yourself from potentially dangerous situations before exercising violence, and I think we can carry that philosophy forward into our lawmaking.
Something I haven’t seen before that I’d like to see tried out would be some sort of required firearms training, but make it mandatory that a local certifier, a police or sheriff’s liaison or something, perform the training for free to citizens. I think if we had police doing it that might be a chance to foster some good will with the community, do some regular humanizing type stuff. No infringement of anyone’s rights, and I also get what I want in more safe gun owners.
Your framing of people who are concerned about gun violence as “the anti-self defense crowd” is very disingenuous. No one is anti-self defense.
Yeah you’re correct I misspoke there. I’m not an expert but others are suggesting her invention wasn’t used in GPS at all, which the guy’s dad is credited with inventing. If that’s true that’s still a little weird, of course I don’t have a problem with her getting credit for anything she invented. I certainly haven’t invented anything
I think it’s pretty reasonable to be proud of your family for their accomplishments. And annoyed that someone else would take credit for them.
And they’re saying chat software is a headache lol
No it doesn’t. Not wanting to be the target of racial or sexual discrimination is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask for. I swear, half the “leftists” on Lemmy are just larping…
Can you help me identify what in this article is propaganda? I wasn’t able to find anything that set off alarm bells for me, and Reuters tends to be about as factual as media comes.
Unrelated tangent, but I would urge you to suggest to your wife that she shop at other places. Shein is among the worst companies on earth in terms of the scale of their pollution.
Additionally, “a documentary by the U.K.’s Channel 4 found that Shein employees were working 75-hour shifts with very little time off.”

Fast fashion is pretty gross.
Do you live in an uber-HCOL area? I ordered Jets the other day and it was not nearly this expensive… I just priced out a delivery for your order and it came to $34.07 w/ taxes and fees, less tip. Even opted for the bone-in wings.
