Reminder: Biden still put immigrant kids in fucking cages. He just didn't brag about it.

You voted for that, you morally bankrupt imbecile. You told the system that you wanted that.

Not on its own- the inferiority complex cranked up to psychosis levels was the main joke

God, lemmy sucks at memes

Sanitation is being put out to Pasteur

I'd say the outcome is known: no one is going to have a good time.

You're completely missing the point of the trolley problem:

Do you take an action that causes a direct harm, even if it's in service to reducing harm?

It's a valid moral stance to decide you will not personally perform a harmful action. That's not walking away from the trolley, that's refusing to throw the switch.

Your framing of the situation is false. Voting for Harris is throwing the switch and dooming Palestinians. Voting third party/not voting is not throwing the switch: you are not condoning the system that runs people over, you are not taking an action that directly harms people.

To be clear, throwong the switch is also a valid moral stance.

Personally, I believe voting for Harris prolongs our faulty political system. I voted for Kerry, then Obama (first willingly, then let myself be guilted into it). The Democrats have only gotten worse with time, and I won't vote for a party that represents me less with time instead of more.

As this is relevant to my job, here's the score:

This process has been coming for a few years now.

Some old houses had small sections of their "service line"- the pipe between the main and the internal plumbing of the house - made of lead. The amount of lead that leaches into the water depends on the chemistry (the Langelier Index) and the contact time. There is currently a requirement for regular testing to see if water that sits for 8+ hours leaches enough lead (& copper) to be dangerous if someone drinks it for 20 years.

The difficulty of replacement is that records from before the 60s are spotty and may not note the material of the line. This will require potholing in front of every house to try to determine the material.

My town was already planning this out, and was starting to get prices from contractors.

Calvinism

It can be done in a non-shitty way. Most people don't, so if you want all the ranchers against the wall, I get it.

Look up AMP grazing if you're interested.

Yeah, people here don't have to sound out our words when we read.

It's projection. The US tried to make one, along with bombs that turn everyone gay and hallucinogenic mind control. We are fucking stupid.

Get out of retail.

Be open minded to anything that isn't retail or food service but the trades are a great thing to get in to for a few years. That skill can be carried over into public works of various kinds so then you're actually doing something useful.
