My understanding is it’s less a type of ice cream and more a source of dairy

Because the title doesn’t really give enough context they were advertising as a place for kids with mental health problems but instead just used them for free labor

“Trinity Teen Solutions promised to help girls with mental health and behavioral problems, but a group of women who’d been placed there as teens by their parents accused the [now-defunct ranch] of forcing them to perform manual labor. Tasks included repairing barbed wire fences, castrating animals and laying irrigation pipes, Injuries were disregarded, it states, and the girls were subjected to humiliating punishments if they did not do the work as ordered.”

A lot of us look at lemmy on our phones. But if you want to give credit to the OP why not post the picture and then just drop the link to where you got it from?

Do you have a source on that, I know a saw a source a while ago showing that meal delivery service generate less waste due to less food waste than grocery stores have. But in my experience reastaurants have a ton of food waste

The cost to design one is insanely expensive, the advantage of the U.S. designs is they have a very long operating history with a bunch of subs so all those lessons learned from 70 years of operation are factored into the designs and the U.S. buys a bunch at once which lowers the cost per unit and makes keeping maintenance facilities available for the subs much cheaper as well.

The U.S. has 66 active nuclear subs, the UK has 10 and France 9 so again while it’s possible to do it would be very expensive

This ain’t about giving capital to Rowling this is about how even pirating Rowlings work is considered bad

But who out there is actually changing their mind over anything Rowling has said?

Right wing people ignore her because her works (especially her newer works) have a bunch of token diversity characters and left wing people ignore her because of her anti trans agenda

And from an accounting perspective what are they going to put in as the reason why you aren’t at work?

Most companies don’t offer bereavement for a pet, personal time off could work but that can be a limited resource and it encourages a person to work through it, unpaid time off is the same thing, wait! sick leave kind of makes sense to use but the person isn’t really sick it’s more like their mental health isn’t doing great because they are sad that their dog is being put down.

My last 3 jobs at a minimum had the ability to take a mental health day for “I feel sad” and I just don’t remember anything later than that and that is in the U.S. which is known for having terrible work leave practices

It’s something people like… and for many people it’s a comfort movie/book

Like there are just so many worse things in the world that worrying about the cultural impact of pirating a movie/book/game is such a waste of time.

Asking people to stop giving her money is 1 thing but you are accomplishing nothing except making people feel like they are completely powerless if you tell them to not even talk about HP

You wouldn’t categorize your dog being put down as a day where you might say “I feel sad” ?

I personally haven’t heard anyone go from being neutral to anti trans from jk Rowling bringing up a new perspective but instead have heard people from both the right and the left criticize her. Trump on the other hand radicalized the average bush era Republican into the MAGA cult we see today that is unafraid to openly show hate

It’s basically impossible to be perfect, pirating the work stops the money from going to jk Rowling which therefore stops it from going to anti trans groups.

Shopping at Home Depot hurts trans people Using Amazon hurts trans people Shopping at basically any big box store hurts trans people

They are a heavily oppressed group and you aren’t able to live your life perfectly so don’t sweat pirating a game

The president of the United States is a pretty open anti trans activist and has made deliberate efforts to use being anti trans as a way to whip up his base
