The great thing, for most people, about a food being gross is that you don't have to eat it. Is someone forcing you to eat olives? I mean, maybe you've just not tried fresh olives?

And apparently assumed that the constitution should be re-written every 17 years or so. That's the 'constitutional convention' ploy, which I'm not so sure it it's a good idea or not, at this time. smh. we're so fecked. wait, where's I put my optimism... it's around here somewhere.

Imagine how much plastic waste could be eliminated if we just boycotted these companies.

Perhaps so, alas. And the rates of obesity and diabetes continue to rise. sigh.

I did notice Altria / Phillip Morris were also in that list. :-(

I was curious about a specific term:

"In a pivotal stretch of testimony, David Pecker, the longtime publisher of The National Enquirer, described a 2015 meeting with Mr. Trump and his fixer at the time, Michael D. Cohen, at Mr. Trump’s midtown Manhattan headquarters.

Fixer
Noun
2. A person who uses influence or makes arrangements for another, especially by improper or unlawful means.

My point being that one doesn't need a fixer, unless one does illegal things. Can we not have criminals in places of power? Soonish?

Most EVs have a 10 year / 100K miles warranty, at least in the US.

I'm not certain about rats specifically, and in humans the marijuana needs to be heated first before it will be psychoactive. If rats were eating marijuana, they'd probably want the seeds which are very nutritious. But marijuana grown for human consumption tends to not have a lot of seeds in it. So I'm with you, there's some pilfering going on. Now, if one could train a nest of rats to enter the evidence room, and bring out MJ, then it would lower the amount of evidence to be brought to court. I'm just 'spit balling' here.

And everything was taken care of for you by your parents? And you had no clue about the conflicts in the world, because you were 7?

RE: Is Ernest still here? ( kbin.social )

I check in here quite often, but for now, I'm just focusing on clearing spam and keeping the instance alive. In January, I was working on the AP module, and there has been significant progress in the work, which hasn't been publicly published yet. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, I developed a skin condition that...

What are the best steps to reduce the wealth of billionaires?

There are a myriad of news articles here on Lemmy that display the abhorrent influence billionaires have on our society (especially the US, where I reside). I consistently read comments where the posters appear hopeless and despondent of the situation, while others jokingly refer to the guillotine....

There was significant mis-information, which caused that uneducated choice. People didn't all randomly come up with it by themselves. Blame the con-artist, not the victim of the confidence trickery.

Within reach on my desk, Unisonic LC-384 Dual Power Solar and Battery Backup Pocket Calculator - I've not owned it the whole time, so I looked around and see it was produced on or around 1982. It works just fine.

It has a minimal listing in the Calcuseum (http://www.calcuseum.com/SCRAPBOOK/BONUS/32532/1.htm)

Instead of only voting for one candidate we should be able to upvote or downvote each candidate

It would be great to be able to vote for every candidate in an election instead of only once and you can decide to upvote, downvote, or not vote for any candidate. This way you never “throw away” your vote and extreme/hated candidates can be downvoted so if im not a fan of any candidate but one is particularly awful I can...

Have you ever heard of Ranked Choice, or Instant Runoff Voting?

Israel Military Reports It Was You, The Reader, Who Blew Up Hospital ( www.theonion.com )

GAZA CITY, GAZA—Following conflicting accounts of a horrific attack on a Gaza hospital, officials from the Israeli Defense Forces released a new statement Wednesday that claimed it was you, the reader of this very article, who committed the act of terror.
