Almost double digit numbers. Skibidi toilet has a bigger following, and better values. Let these cockheads fade away into nothingness.

I feel this in my core. Dating in your 30s is like dating at max difficulty

This is fuckin tragic. I didn't need to read that. I hope justice is served albeit delayed at this point. This kid deserves time for violently attacking another kid, bragging about it, and trying to get away with no consequences. Yes he's young, but not too young to pay for this kind of crime.

Don't underestimate her poise and professionalism... She appeals to a lot of reasonable voters who want someone younger and more normal

I haven't gone to McDonald's in YEARS and I'm not missing anything!

Ever since the big Mac meal went over $10, I was out. That was years ago and now it's even worse. I'm also not a sucker for using their god-damned app so I can get a $1 small fry and a free q-tip. If I'm not happy with your prices at the drive-thru, then I'm just not going there.

Who in the heck are the 16%

Yeah, but.... Oftentimes criticizing Biden helps trump. I'd rather not even risk it at this point.

Can we spend more energy celebrating that trump is NOT the president and how bad it would be if he comes back?

This is good news! Trans students will just be using the bathroom, cisgender students are the ones that may be abusing this with negative intentions.

Stay kind, everyone!

Sometimes all it takes is one or two people to have a good heart and do the right thing. It's a positive shock for sure

The world needs more good people like this! Trans kids are just kids... Let them live their lives.

EV buying help (lemmy.world)

Been searching for my first EV and I'm down to an Audi Q4 e-tron or a Volvo XC40. I don't make a lot of money so I'm going to have to lease instead of buy (Q4 leases about 10% cheaper than the XC40).

I've test driven and like both of them a lot - maybe leaning towards the Volvo just for comfort level. I like the Lightning too but dealers on Ohio won't budge and they don't lease well.

Anyone have any feedback on the XC40 or Q4? Pros or cons you can mention from owning one of these?

Announcement happening tomorrow morning. I have very little faith in DeWine showing the slightest care for trans teenagers... but I'm still holding onto hope somehow. As a trans person who couldn't come out when I was younger, let me just say it is MUCH harder as an adult to start to transition. If he visited hospitals and talked to doctors about what kinds of treatments are available for anyone under 18, he knows that treatments for youth are NOT surgeries like some people lie about. Let these people live their lives and get the Rx care they need.

No matter your opinion on trans people playing sports, do not make decisions against someone's healthcare because of the sports issue! Lives are on the line with this.

The HIDEOUS people passing these laws are hateful souls.

Let people live their lives and be happy! Nobody is forcing people into a group they don't want to be a part of. Some people they DO join these groups need the support .. don't take this from them.

My 11 year old spends 50% of his time with an anti-science and anti-vaccine family. Single parent me (in Ohio) doesn't have a lot of support when I've tried to help fight some of those thoughts he's been brainwashed with in the name of religion. I'm christian, but his other household is extremists. "You believe in science too much" and "cavemen never existed" are things he's said in the last year. He's a straight A very smart child, he's just been brainwashed and I want to try to help him before it gets worse.

What kinds of shows, books, documentaries can I expose him too to make him think more critically about some of these things so he understands science is real and vaccines work?

He does get into Veritasium on YouTube, so I feel like that's a step in the right direction for science and critical thinking.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers
