Ok so if your choice was between a politician who made LGBT issues their priority but were against medicare for all/socialized medicine, and a politician that made medicare for all/socialized medicine their priority but were against LGBT rights, who would you choose?
Both are human rights issues. Which one is more important to you?
It just seems like you’re saying “political issue” but what you mean is “doesn’t affect them”.
Yeah, that is exactly what I said and what I meant. It was my point. Thank you for getting the point?
At some point it’s a forced choice, and sitting out isn’t really an option.
Idk, the fact that the Log Cabin Republicans exist kinda proves that it is. Even LGBT people can reconcile Republican ideals and their own LGBT identity. It’s much easier for someone that isn’t LGBT to ignore LGBT issues. And the majority of people wont have someone close to them be LGBT, making it even easier to not care about them.
You know that someone can agree with most things in a platform and hate other things about it right?
The fact that they said they’re not anti-lgbt instead of saying they’re pro-lgbt implies that lgbt issues in general are lower on their list of priorities. They may not agree with the anti lgbt stuff but it isn’t important to them anyway.
They’re a Republican. They don’t view LGBT issues as a human rights issue in the first place. It’s a political issue for them. Hence why they can reconcile that their opinion vs the party platform.
Again, that’s why they said they’re not anti-lgbt rather than saying they’re pro-lgbt.
They can disagree with the Republican Party on LGBT issues, because it’s a political issue for them and not a human rights issue.
So just don’t use the built in software. I don’t have any of my TVs connected to the internet or use their built in OS. I have a couple of Apple TVs plugged in and run everything off that. Never even set the things up beyond plugging them in and switching to HDMI 1.
There’s also the Chromecast TV if you use Android.
If you use a separate smart tv device like those, then the only thing you need to care about on the TV itself is resolution, refresh, and number of ports. Or if you want to spend a chunk of change then you can look into things like OLED. But the separate devices make the TV OS irrelevant.
Even prior to direct military entry, the US was providing mass amounts of aid to fight the Axis. We were giving the UK destroyers, arms, and ammunition immediately after the Nazi invasion of Poland, gave billions to China to help fight the Japanese invasion, and started arming the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease as soon as Germany invaded them.
We also deployed to Iceland to take over the Brits’ post there so they could free up troops to the mainland.
Even ignoring the European front, which is stupid, the US was instrumental in the African front and neutralizing Italy.
But nah, the US kicking ass and stacking bodies on 3 different fronts wasn’t important to winning the war. Nope.
No, Hamas is a fucking terrorist group that hasn’t allowed an election since they staged a coup in 2007. They kill civilians and use civilian infrastructure as military strongpoints.
Because if you have several hundred thousand dollars laying around to pay in cash, you’re better off investing that into an index fund which will have a higher rate of return than the interest on the mortgage.
If you have $500k and want to buy a $500k house, you could pay the entire $500k down and own the house free and clear, but you would only gain the appreciation on the house if you ever sell it. Assuming doubling in value every 10 years it should be worth $4M after 30 years.
If you had $500k and took out a mortgage of $400k, at the national average of 7% and 30 years, you would pay a total $1,033,654. If you took the other $400k you had and put it in just the S&P 500 which has averaged right at 10% annually, and left it there, you would end up with $6,979,760 in that fund at the end of the 30 years.
So you would come out ahead by about $4 million at the end if you took the mortgage and invested the cash.
If you have a mortgage, 99/100 the bank is going to make you pay into escrow for insurance and taxes.
This is just a simple online mortgage calculator so it’s not factoring in that you could just pay those yourself if you’re paying all cash for the house.
It’s a bug in that if you pay cash for a house, you won’t be paying into escrow for tax and insurance. Banks require that in the vast majority of mortgages.
This is just a simple online mortgage calculator so it factors in escrow into the monthly payment since that’s what pretty much everyone is going to have.
Well, as the article points out, one of the biggest causes of the radioactivity is from nuclear weapons testing 60-80 years ago. We already stopped that so that bit is taken care of. It will just take a lot more time for the radioactivity to decay down.
The article is really poor though. The title says it’s because of Chernobyl, but the study actually found that it was weapons testing more than Chernobyl.
If you believe that there was any conversation like this at all, and it isn’t just some production line that places coupons at the same place on every box.
The community is “malicious compliance”. It would only be a perfect fit for here if it were actually malicious compliance and not just a funny coincidence.
Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion?
E.g. abortion rights, anti-LGBTQ, contempt for atheism, Christian nationalism, etc.
