Independent News@lemmy.today•Republican leaders seek to quell Mitch McConnell speculation as rebellion growsEnglish
9·6 days agoYeah, the dispatch audio is pretty telling. He was found unconscious in cardiac arrest, someone was performing CPR at his home, and they sent an ALS ambulance to his place. No shot he’s chatting it up with the other reps like a lot of them are trying to claim.

11·6 days agoNot only are the statistics bad, but they’re even worse when you factor in that he was apparently found unconscious after an unknown period of time before CPR was started. If you see someone go into cardiac arrest and immediately begin compressions, the numbers are a bit better. Finding someone over the age of 80 in cardiac arrest after an indeterminate amount of time outside of a hospital? The absolute best-case is “not legally dead”.
Part of me feels like they wanted heroin and oxycodone replaced with the far more lethal fentanyl for the purpose of punishing the “wicked junkies” but that’s somewhat of a conspiracy theory.
I mean, there’s a reason crack cocaine was so prolific and associated with negative outcomes in black communities… It’s reasonable that a similar strategy might be used again in that same manner.

7·9 days agoThat’s not even horrifically expensive in most cities. I’ve seen people pay $20/shot at some bars.

What could go wrong?@lemmy.world•driving at high speeds without protectionEnglish
3·10 days agoAs someone who was reckless on one and did something almost identical, even in gear this kinda hurt. Still, it was something I was able to walk off and recover with some ibuprofen, and if I was wearing my pants, probably not even that. This dude is going to have a concussion and need skin grafts, at minimum.
Idk, while I obviously try to appreciate everyone’s experiences and don’t like making broad statements, it can be hard to not feel that way when literally every femboy I’ve met eventually transitioned, myself included…
That’s not to say it’s a great take, but it’s definitely understandable why people would feel that way. Especially since for me personally, it was very much a coping mechanism for being trans.
Again not trying to invalidate anyone’s experiences, just kinda venting my own personal thoughts/feelings on the matter.
They’re tied to the same thing, because they think women are weak and pathetic, thus need protection (so they’re the ones who get to abuse them instead).
He did it purely to spite the actual founders of Tesla, whose car that was supposed to be. There was a long legal battle over the first cars off the line, and because Musk has always been a giant pissbaby, he decided to send it into space as a “There, now no one can have it” move.

1·14 days agoI mean, there’s a reason there’s literally an entire famous game series that’s a satire of Japan’s messed up law system.

6·14 days agoThe stupid thing is that even this isn’t necessarily the case. Even in countries that have public healthcare, there are still private options for those who want “fancier” care. The true statement is that they would only be able to rip off the wealthy, instead of everyone in the country.
If there’s a small, low-res image on my phone, it now asks if I want to upscale it, and tends to have this kind of “soft” effect to it.
Can confirm. Saw a classmate with her GF and got very jealous, despite having my own GF at the time. Turns out I was jealous of the wrong thing.

science@lemmy.world•Half of America’s Cities Are Depopulating. We Could Be Headed for a Ghost Town Era.English
5·20 days agoI live on the edge of urban/suburban in a small city and absolutely love it. 10 minutes to bike into downtown, tons and tons of businesses and job opportunities, and just a much better community atmosphere. Anytime I go into more suburban/exurban areas, it’s downright depressing at this point knowing that it takes 5 minutes in a car to get to literally anything that’s not another identical house.

20·22 days agoIt’s honestly both the funniest and saddest thing is that he’s only become shittier and more miserable as he’s gotten richer. There’s pretty much a direct correlation between the two.

politics @lemmy.world•Ohio will continue to allow child marriage after push to end practice fails in legislature. Advocates were baffled that the bill didn’t pass, given that it had no public oppositionEnglish
8·26 days agoIn a recent 2024 study:
…between 2000 and 2019. Over 75 % of all married children in each state were girls. Girls married men who were an average of 4 years older than they were, and the age gap was substantially larger when girls married than when boys married.
Because literally the entire episode is basically “You will never be a real woman, no matter what”. Perpetuating the that trans people getting gender affirming care don’t know what they’re doing and are just mutilating their bodies. There’s literally a line where Garrison is talking to their doctor and says something along the lines of “Wait, so I’m basically just a dude with a fucked up dick?” and the doctor responding in the affirmative.
I genuinely really like a lot of stuff from Trey and Matt, but that’s one of a couple times where it felt far less like “poking fun” and was intentionally portraying trans people in a harmful way, in a way that an episode like “The Cissie” didn’t do nearly as aggressively.





Even worse is JIS, where it seems that its explicit and singular goal was to make a screw that would be instantly obliterated the moment a Phillips driver touched it. Fun fact, JIS drivers work far better on Phillips than Phillips drivers do, and I’ve yet to strip one since using JIS drivers almost exclusively
