People keep talking about “Federalizing the National Guard” and now you’ve got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image)....
Another thing the world ought to know is that the folks who are identified by “red” and “right” in America are in the minority.
Significantly so.
However our voting system uses geography / land as a modifier so while there are less of them they occupy a larger land mass and have an outsized vote strength because of that.
When total votes in a state can be split 45-55 but the delegates go 90-10 there is a problem
IF your dishwasher is working properly then you ought to be able to put your poop knife, dinner dishes AND toilet brushes in and everything comes out sanitary.
Don’t ask why there is peanut butter left on the knife. You’ll be ok.
And the southern US is where a lot of our produce comes from in the winter BUT now that they are losing the consistency of the jet stream maintaining milder temperatures they are seeing crop failure due to hard freezes they otherwise wouldn’t even have to contemplate worrying about.
I’m not convinced this isn’t a nice wig being worn that was then absolutely butchered, right before this photo was taken. Really quick in the bathroom in a “oh fuck you bought a women’s wig?” Moment.
This is utter horseshit. Anyone who doesn’t acknowledge that fact probably just didn’t know and you’re just projecting some “I’m better than you” nonsense.
We learn the metric system in our schools. It’s part of our curriculum. We learn it in math classes, we learn it in science classes, we learn about it in history classes as well.
The UK drives using MPH too, despite the metric system being the standard. Oh nooooo! An alternate measurement system that the masses understand and accept!
For what it is worth, if you were curious, NIST adopted and recommends the SI standard.
However what IS fun is the world adopting US customary measures intertwined with metrics units for new measurements that weren’t used before, electrical current/resistance stuff like that. **Though, good luck getting anyone who likes to try to dunk on the USA like this to admit it.**Any American who responds how you’re saying is just pissed that once again someone is trying to look down their nose at us for living our fucking lives.
Alternate take: super insular and traditionally xenophobic nation has a non-native citizen win helping to expand their cultural definition of who is Japanese and who is beautiful.
Crucifixion was done in a multitude of ways, at the end of the day they didn’t care how you died and it was often changed to prolong the suffering if they wanted to.
Upside down, sideways, face first, face up, if the suffocation version didn’t get you exposure would.
It was designed to punish you for the rest of your life, so to speak.
So is the US slipping into Civil War? (lemmy.world)

If you could have any game remade by a studio of your choice, who would you want working on what?
For example, I’d take We Happy Few and put it into the hands of either Remedy (of Alan Wake & Control fame) or IO Interactive (of Hitman series fame).
