  • What is the silliest law that is still enforced where you live? Why do you think it still exists?

    Jump

  • A dozen states still have sodomy laws on the books and only aren’t enforced because of Lawrence v. Texas, a 2003 SCOTUS decision.

    Be interesting to see how that plays out the next couple of years.

  • You can change the spelling of one word in the English language to match how they are pronounced. What word do you pick?

  • They may not be fully in the club, but they are still way ahead of Indians, Indigenous Americans, Middle-Easterners, Hispanics, and Blacks.

  • Jesus Christ. They’re the new black people. Except the old black people still face discrimination, and Italians, Irish, and Asians all got allowed into the “white” club.

  • Nearly every USB-A male I’ve seen has a USB logo carved into the rubber boot.

    This is on the “up” side of the cable, and would face “up” from the perspective of how the computer is intended to be used (or from the perspective of the motherboard, if we’re talking about a tower PC).

  • I kind of suspect that people who transfer their photos and music and whatnot over, manually, are very much in the minority compared to people who stream and use a cloud hosted photo app. And I’d suspect that a good handful of those that care enough to backup their files locally probably has OwnCloud or something similar running.

    That said, such a shitty move. I can’t imagine it would be that much more bothersome to support high speeds, on a modern device. It is more than likely an ulterior motive to get those people to assimilate or leave, and then phase out the plug entirely, a move that will be mocked by every major Android manufacturer only to have it on all their flagship models a year or two later.

  • What's a skill that's taken for granted where you live, but is often missing in people moving there from abroad?

  • Suburban dad here.

    It’s not so much that I’m afraid of drug dealers or pedophiles, I know the statistics and it’s barely on my radar.

    If my (almost) 7yo asked me if he could ride his bike or walk to a friends house, unattended, I’d probably let him…if it were on our street (1 mile long road that ends in a cul de sac) or the adjacent street (since we can cut through our neighbors yard to get there).

    But beyond that? It’s literally miles to the nearest bus stop or store. Even to the nearest park or playground. And while most of that is suburban secondary streets…it’s curvey, it’s hilly, there’s no sidewalk, shoulder, or bike lane, and people drive way too fast on it (and usually setting up their podcasts or checking on their pizza delivery while they’re at it, I assume, by how erratic they are).

    I’m terrified to walk on it, at nearly 40. I couldn’t consider letting him ride unattended on it.

  • Texas eliminates 'tampon tax' on menstrual products, sales tax on baby items

    Jump

  • Still doesn’t make sense. Any man with a kid and half a clue knows that they don’t bleed when they’re pregnant. Thus, tampons are only necessary when women aren’t fulfilling their wifely duties, barefoot and pregnant.

    I mean, it really was seeming like the GOP wants every woman to be carrying their spawn (against their will) from menarche to menopause.

  • The most Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke

  • In New England (the best England), we have “youse”.

  • I went to South Carolina once. For the eclipse a few years ago.

    We flew into Charlotte, stayed there for a night, then Greenville SC for a night (to be in totality), and back to Charlotte for a couple of days.

    Crossing the border from NC to SC was less like crossing state lines and more like crossing the DMZ or the Berlin Wall. Just…a totally different word on the other side of that line.

    Best part was that I got to try out cheer wine. Also there was a guy in front of me at the concession stand (we saw the eclipse from the Greenville Zoo) on the phone with someone. He was trying to tell that person he was in the “food line” but the other person kept hearing “Food Lion”, the name of a local grocery chain.

    Although a couple of different guys saw me sweating my ass off in the zoo and offered me a “cool rag”. I had no idea what that was and it sounded disgusting so I politely declined…but in retrospect I have to appreciate their hospitality.

    Next eclipse, I’m going to Austin.

  • That feeling when you're googling the answer to some technical question, and your own Lemmy post appears 4 results down.

    Jump

  • Happens to me all the time with my Networking, Fortinet, Ansible, and Cisco subreddits, and that’s exactly why I’m hesitant to purge and delete my account.

    That and I haven’t found comparable communities here.

  • Being “gifted”, only makes you wish you weren’t sometimes

  • Oh I think your right.

    I could totally have seen this been a joke delivered by Dexter, going out for Trick or Treating with Asher and Cody, or going to an office costume party.

  • Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance

  • Funny you say that. Solar and wind each have more human deaths per kWh than nuclear.

    Worth mentioning that fossil fuels blow those numbers completely out of the water, though.

  • I'd saw off my leg for my grocery store to start carrying something besides shitty IPA's and Budweiser

  • Come to New England and have some Downeast. Don’t need any other cider after that.

  • In my state (and probably all states), the rec dispensaries are all cash-only businesses. Apparently because they cannot do business with any banks under federal law.

    They have ATMs and they can usually run a debit card as an ATM transaction (which charges an ATM fee, and they have to round up to $5 and give you back the difference cash).

    Literally the only place I use my debit card (bank reimburses the fees).

    But this means a lot of risk…they have to deal with transport/deposits, and having a large amount of cash in hand in the shop. Granted, at least in my state, every store has a mantrap where your ID gets scanned before you can go to into the shop, but that’s still pretty scary. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if the mantrap is really only necessary to protect the workers and the cash on-hand.

    And there’s also the issue of payroll, since as an otherwise above-board business, they can’t be paying their employees in cash. But they also can’t work with the banks. This adds a lot of complexity and usually results in workers all being contractors for some other entity entirely, which really sounds a bit shady and probably pretty easy to screw up come tax time.

    They really need to be allowed to work with the banks.

  • packets of ketchup are super wasteful

  • Idk man iced coffee without a straw just seems weird. Really anything iced, I just don’t want ice coming up to my teeth/lips/mustache when I drink it…but coffee especially.

    I use (and usually have with me) reusable straws, but I hate when I’m out and about and get an iced coffee with a sip-spout.

    Also, while on the topic, as a mustachio’d man, straws also prevent the beverage from getting trapped in my facial hair, or facial hair ending up in my drink.
