Travel for work all over and don't have a car or other reasonable transportation in random cities. It costs less for delivery than 2 taxi/Uber rides and I dont have to risk getting lost in a weird place I don't know. Hotel room service is not good in most places
Grossly oversimplified. Dumb meme that adds nothing substantive
Dont friggin touch it
Also the demographic statistics in the journal article are information but not informative. They're not meant by the journal article's authors to support the gross conclusion Musa extrapolated from it.
So, I read the CNN article and the CNN-linked journal paper it was based on and I don't understand how the CNN aithor, Amanda Musa, was able to read the journal article and jump to her conclusions except through overwhelming prejudice and bias. Holy cow, this is irresponsible reporting. From the journal article itself, here is a relevantbsummary:
Overall, these findings stress the critical public health message concerning the secure storage of firearms, especially in households with adolescents. Our study suggests that initiatives limiting adolescent access to firearms, such as child access prevention laws or efforts to decrease illegal gun trafficking, might effectively prevent school shooting incidents.23,24 Furthermore, hospital-based initiatives centered on screening for firearm accessibility and exposure for inpatients could be fruitful in preventing gun violence, both inside and outside schools.25
Yes, yes, don't use, always have avoided anyway. I also touch grass more often, which is nice
I'm a big fan of Ground News. Helps wading through the pool
I was lurking for a comment like this. You've described my feeling exactly. Lemmy feels a bit more mature. I went cold turkey for reddit and I'm not going back. Btw, I use Connect app and really live it. I don't seem to have some of the technical issues that I see others talk about with Lemmy
I had to "break up" with my best friend over this stuff. His could not let go of his "but both sides" crap. It sucks, but it had to be done. Maybe we'll get back together as friends one day, hopefully
