There’s a dad jokes lemmy!

Unfortunately, Elon is spearheading the attempt, and we all know which way he swings…

This is the way. I vote op does this next year!

But they “saved” the “baby” right?

Fify - the baby didn’t make it.

…they said it may have been possible to save both the teenager and her fetus if she had been admitted earlier for close monitoring and continuous treatment.

There was a chance Crain could have remained pregnant, they said. If she had needed an early delivery, the hospital was well-equipped to care for a baby on the edge of viability.

They literally brought him to a therapist when they noticed he was withdrawn and his grades were slipping, which is more than a lot of parents would do. Maybe they should have taken more control of his phone, but they were ignorant of the situation happening.

No, they just believe in the honesty of people. Well, that and they probably also figured that having an aggregate of answers and the upvote/downvote system, they can ferret out a response.

And how does one do that while meming “the man, the myth, the legend”?

No, if they want to be gendered appropriately, they should have it in their username.

though I’ve been saying “munis” for short.

“comms” is my go-to.

I always railed against this. I’m using clockwise-lockwise from now on.

They show up italicized for me, iOS Thunder app

protects students from being compelled to salute the American flag or say the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools.

Students are not being compelled to salute or say the pledge, only stand and be quiet. Teachers are the ones compelled to recite the pledge every day.

It is a law in my state that all students must stand and all teachers must recite. Most of the students recite too, but no one but teachers are forced to.

Yeah, we don’t need a song about war to remind us how we got here, we need a song about togetherness to remind us how we should be.

Can we make a pledge to be a good and productive person?

I have been assigned public service for the same offense when I could not pay my fine. I worked at a food shelter for a couple of days (sorting donations, packing bags with cans, etc) and was good. You may ask the judge or public defender if that’s an option.

I’m not familiar with the whole of the Sodom and Gamora tale - does it mention the devil and can you show me that part?

It’s not easily streamable anywhere we have, so we’ve been buying the dvds/bluerays and the DS9 one was either not available or cost too much. I’ll watch it eventually, my bff says it’s their favorite one.

Ps in season 2 now and I’m glad to see the Klingons curly locks are back!

I’m actually enjoying a little more adventure. I’ve pretty much been watching them in order (almost, but I went Voyager > Enterprise, and did not watch DS9). I like that things aren’t just “problem of the week” and episodes are a big part of the overarching story. I don’t like how everything is so dramatic all the time (seems like a theme of modern-era shows, not just Star Trek), but I do love getting to see epic starship battles in a much more dramatic way than they’ve shown them in the past. I like the idea of the captain being like “x take out their engines, y find us an opening, z get ready to go to warp” - these are bridge officers, so they know how to do it, as long as they know what to do. I guess Voyager had some of that, but it seemed better executed on here.

Also, I love the idea of a mycelium network going through space. It’s a cool idea and I like the departure from the simple warp drive cannon.

It’s interesting because of the departures they took, especially with the technology looking as it does but being pre-TOS (or was it pre-TNG?) and the Klingons being completely bald instead of amazing curly locks, but it’s a refreshing take and I’m enjoying it.

In countries without capitalism and property rights, the billionaires are the government and the judiciary and the military.

In the US, they just have solidified a really good means of controlling it… I mean, the amount we don’t tax them, the super PACs we let them contribute to, and the control they have over our media is definitely a form of control that may not be “as bad” as other systems (arguably) but it seems like it’s really similar.
