Just worth pointing out, changing water source in Flint Michigan and not adding corrosion inhibitors seemed to do an excellent job for a short period.

As with most absurd laws in the US the answer likely depends mostly on the color of your skin or your social class

In my city we do music nights in the park and people setup entire mini bars to make drinks and the police don't bat an eye over it

I often times ride around on my bicycle with a can of something good and don't get bothered by the local police as well (though they could certainly get me for something more harsh than drinking in public if they wished to)

The biggest law I don't play with is Open container. Its illegal in my state to have an open bottle / can ANYWHERE in the passenger compartment of a vehicle

From my perspective trans women seem to attract more vitriol than trans men at least in the media / at the macro level

A gender studies professor could have a field day breaking down the way the patriarchy plays into this on both sides of the equation I would imagine

I am an outsider though and know very little on these topics (other than to just be cool to people)

I skimmed some of that it was; something

At any rate glad you are doing well and finding joy in life! Keep up the progress

Works the other way too.

If I take 100 Gallons of clean water and dump a gallon of sewage into it, would you pour yourself a glass?

The systemd and the Wayland debate both feel very similar.

At the end of the day the old method of using init scripts was becoming inadequate and needed to change

Wayland debate seems the same, switching to Wayland has been talked about for over a decade. The change has been coming and frankly I was expecting it a lot earlier

Whats neat about linux though is if you have nothing better to do and are knowledgeable enough to bitch about all of this; then you also have the technical prowess to standup an install of your favorite distro and get it to use X instead of Wayland and init scripts instead of systemd

For me as an enduser I hope Wayland enables more modern features to be delivered more easily as X has felt old for a while.

I want to berate you if you were raised in the US and don’t know.

That said if you are younger than me in some states it’s been deemed un important over the last 20 years

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecticut_Compromise

This is referred to as “The Great Compromise”

Slave holding states wanted slaves to count for the census and free states saw that as un fair. So slaves got to count as 3/5ths of a person and everybody won! /s

No VA doctor should be refusing to treat any patient for those reasons. It's absurd and unethical.

I mean, just in general... Germany's Hitler was a fucking loser too.

He was the best :) (Even better that people still misunderstand his humor)

Yeah, I think norms is a better word for it

flooding instances with posts that are blatantly weighted would likely lead to de-federation

That said, the bigger the instance the more power they have to do what they want.

Lemmy.world for instance could put the rest of the Lemmy fediverse between a rock and a hard place if they wanted to

I am sort of talking out my ass; but thats how I understand things as they are right now

We have seen interesting things happen with decentralized systems in the past though.

In IRC land for example Freenode.net went through a hostile takeover which within 24 hours caused operators and admins to jump ship and start their own Freenode (with black jack and hookers) and that seems to have been a success story

The only real hoop you have to jump through is to go through the online training course which takes about 30 minutes and is all about administration of the drug

I received my package today and feel it's important to have around with the current rise in opioid overdoses.

Their kit does not include CPR masks so I recommend purchasing some to keep with your doses. (Won't share a link due to Amazon boycott)

I would've bought some ages ago if I lived in a bigger city.
