They have great uses for entertainment, not so great in any other department sadly.

The point of ACAB is to claim that ALL police are bastards because they all allow some to be as bad as they are. Everyone is aware there are good people.

They are in a position of power and thus should be capable using that power for self governance. Except, they don't. How often does a cop blatantly break the law and murder a civilian with no repercussions? If they are going to investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing and never improve, then ACAB.

You're right! If both options are bad, then we SHOULD let the worse one win!

Hurray!

Damn, lemmy is over here upset that you pay for something you like and use frequently.

YouTube creators have said many times they get a lot more from a premium view compared to a regular one.

Anyone I know who voted for trump for "economic reasons" are people I know to have the weakest grasp on what economic factors determine the price of eggs.

You're right! We should support the worse option because the other one didn't do enough!

Turns out I'm wrong. I went to look for a source for what I had said and there's a common misconception that listerine coined the word for marketing purposes. In reality, it existed before they popularized it. The etymology section of the halitosis Wikipedia article mentions that specifically.

Don't remember specifically where I'd heard listerine made the word itself but I guess that's a bending of the truth.

Halitosis is bad breath AND a totally made up disorder.

I wonder, if it's even possible, if a device like the tasso blood collector would help people with this issue.

Needles are still involved but they're significantly smaller and you can't even feel or really even see them during the process.

I've had blood drawn using it and you can't even feel it happening. It does take a lot longer than a typical blood draw, though.

Rip the following things that often have undocumented immigrants working (from my anecdotal experience)

  • Farms
  • Construction
  • Professional painters
  • Drywalling
  • Carpentry
  • Concrete
  • Flooring
  • Seriously basically every part of constructing a building or infrastructure is supported by immigrant workers
  • Fast food
  • Normal speed food (restaurants)
  • Cleaning services
  • Landscaping
  • Retail, like gas stations and grocery
  • ... And many more!
