These are all good points but the biggest reason I HATE gift cards is because they offer ZERO protection.

Buy something with a credit card and you often get double warranty protection included. That something gets damaged or stolen? Also protected.

Gift cards offer none of that. Neither does cash but at least I can use cash to pay off the credit card.

I get that a gift card is more personable and it earmarks the funds for a particular store. If you like gift cards, then cheers and go about your merry way.

I've emphatically told my loved ones that I never want a gift card. You want me to use the money somewhere specific? Just say so and I'll do it.

But don't give me a script that I can only use in one place and might lose.

I could have sworn that there was a news story of Peloci being denied the sacrament due to her supporting an abortion bill.

I'm going to edit my comment to be a bit clearer but the Framers knew that the Constitution wasn't meant for all time, that the document would need to be rewritten to reflect the changing values and issues in the present age. The easiest example is the third amendment. While it's important, yes, that we not be required to quarter troops in our homes, it isn't exactly the main issue facing us as a nation.

Fucking conservative judges, however, seem to think that the "history and culture" of the document should trump whatever issue is going on now.

Honestly, we'd do better with an Article 5 constitution convention.

The constitution was never meant to be something that was interpreted from the lens of when it was written. The Framers specifically made a way for states to rewrite the Constitution to adopt with the changing times.

Edit: clarified my comment as it was a bit ambiguous

With my experience and technical background, I've learned I'm way underpaid, even among my peers in my company.

$215k annual would be what I consider fair.

Government workers deserve good wages as well.

I support a 75% salary increase in your current role.

You realize that if newspapers offered a federated service (pay once, you get them all), they'd make money hand over fist?

But noooo...each newspaper wants you to pay.

I'd pay upwards of $20 a month if that guaranteed me access to the major newspapers (NYT, WaPo, LA Times, etc.) and my local one with one subscription.

Oof almost two hours. I'll have to bookmark and come back to it when I'm not tired.

At this point, if a voter is conflicted between a prosecutor who has spent the majority of her life putting criminals away and a racist who has several felony convictions and several more pending, they are effectively Trump voters.

It's really that simple. Anyone else who tells you that they are undecided is because they are racist or they are okay with fascism.

The number one killer of indoor plants is over watering. Wait for the leaves to wilt before watering.

I don't know much about this particular plant but judging by the dark leaves, it probably doesn't need as much light as the label says. Put it in a corner of a room that gets light, but not right in front of it.

Once a week, move the plant closer to the window and see if that helps it perk up.

This conversation seems to come up every now and again and lemmy seems to split between two camps:

• students, especially low income students who can't afford their own devices, will use devices to do things kids do (yes, this includes porn)
• schools, as part of their duty to provide a safe learning environment, have a responsibility to provide some level of filtering and content monitoring

Where that line gets drawn has to be an active conversation between schools, parents, and students. But this conversation often delves into "BuT tHiNk Of ThE cHiLdReN!"

I mean....if you don't want people asking questions about your military service, maybe, just maybe, don't question the military service of your opponent.
