Rate of Young Women Getting Sterilized Doubled After ‘Roe’ Was Overturned
  • It depends on the country, but many are just time based. We moved by getting work and education visas and are renewing them until we can apply for residency, then citizenship. Luckily we've been planning this for over a decade and we had managed to save up and plan.. I've personally seen several people try to do the same and had to return to the US for financial reasons. It's heartbreaking.

  • 'Cliff-Like' Collapse of Critical Current System More Likely Than Thought: Study
  • "Don't look down! Don't look down!" shouted the man standing before the crowd, pumping his fist to accent each word. The chant went on for about 15 seconds, around 8 times the Florida crowd copied the politician before them. The crowd hushed as he began to speak again: "This... Is about control" he started. "'They' want you to be fearful, to be obedient... But we're not falling for their nonsense! They tried with the plan-demic and they're trying again with this. Well I say NO. We will be FREE because Patriots like you and me will never let them take that freedom!"

    The crowd roared in cheers as the water lapped at their ankles.

  • Americans, what are your plans if Trump wins in 2024?
  • I already moved. It's not just Trump that's the problem, and even if he loses in 2024, or does in office, the issues still will persist. America needs to figure out how to make the judicial system work properly and norms need to be codified. Vast swaths of the population need to change their culture of "us vs them".

    I won't be going back, the way things work with Republicans, you can't just move to a blue state, you have to move out of the country.

  • What is a video game that you'd love to play, but no one has developed yet?
  • A game that captures the feeling of when Arthur Dent crash lands on that primitive planet in "The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" and makes a sandwich. I want The Sandwich Maker.

    You crash into this procedurally generated world. All the plants and animals are new every playthrough, and you slowly learn about them through experimentation and from the native population who has never heard of a sandwich and really doesn't do much except eat raw ingredients. When you cook the meat from an animal instead of eating it raw, they all lose their minds with wonder and you become the town's chef.

    You harvest wild crops and cultivate better ones. You find ways to use the animal fat and meat and "milk", you find plants that work as food, maybe their seeds are great crushed up with a little water into a paste, maybe you need to dry them out, maybe you need to de-seed them and mix them with another plant to make it taste better.. on and on.

    You need to work with the people there to make tools, and together you iterate out exactly what you need.

    Eventually you have to find something that matches your randomised flavour pallette for the perfect sandwich. You assemble all the ingredients you've collected, cultivated, or created, with the tools and techniques you and the townspeople have developed, and you take a bite. It's perfect. You win.

  • Team Trump Mulling Deploying Military to Streets on Day 1 if Elected: Report
  • You guys only got one isolated revolt last time, and remarkably anyone who had a gun illegally didn't fire it, and anyone who had them legally didn't fire until it was the last option. Hopefully it won't get out of hand if he loses again, and I feel a whole lot better that someone stable is in charge for the lead up to a potential transfer of power this time.

    All that said, I don't have high hopes. Bo Burnham said it best: how is the best case scenario Joe Biden

  • Thanks for the help.
  • The people don't need to be taken seriously, the issue does. Arguing over semantics isn't helpful unless it's "Legislating against assault rifles won't do anything because that's not a thing. We need to ..." And the words after the ellipsis can't be "..do nothing."

  • Is there any way to see what communities someone is subscribed to?
  • I hear the best way to get the right answer on the internet is to say something untrue and have someone correct you, so I am gonna say that yes, the administrator of your instance can see what you are subscribed to, or at the very least can see what users in their instance are subscribed to. (Please correct me someone if I am wrong)

  • Boost for Lemmy is happening!
  • If it's anything like Boost for Reddit was, it's unnoticeable. Every 20 or so posts you'll see an ad and just scroll past, no animations or sound. I think I recall seeing a bottom banner? Any other Boost users confirm? I really just ignored it so I can't recall.

    My point is, ads were non-obstructive
