I’ve never read The Handmaid’s Tale or seen its adaptation but I think I’ll pick it up after seeing these recent developments.

How long till she suffers an “unfortunate accident?”

Wait, the IDF is calling people out for their bullshit?

You do know that Israel has engaged in what’s called pinkwashing, right?

In 2006, when I was about 6 years, my mother, sadly, suffered a miscarriage. It devestated our family. This also marked a turning point in my life as my parents divorced not long after. It’s stories like these that make me wonder what would have happened to my dear mother after her miscarriage if the same fundamentalist theocrats were in power then. Would they have arrested her? Would she have died under the same atrocious conditions that Ms. Barnica had to suffer? What will happen to my wife if, goodness forbid, something similar happens to her? This story highlights why, five days from now, you MUST vote. We have make that incidents like these don’t repeat. Don’t just do it for your sake. Do it for the sake of those dearest and nearest to you.

I could be wrong but I think the (..+?) portion will either remove a dud or replenish the allowance.

OK, its just a deer…

The bigger question should be: why would anyone subscribe to Bezo’s paywalled garden in the first place?

What is this “fitness” they speak of? It seems to be from overseas. Could someone explain this to an American like me?

Well, when your DRM software is utter shit that it leads gamers to pirate games you’re not going to have the best reputation.

Hardened Firefox, here I come.

If my plane ticket says 9 you know damn well I’m bringing condoms.

I really hope the GrapheneOS team succeed. Custom ROMs are reason I’m really into tech today. Coding, FOSS, Linux, etc. all that came from rooting my dad’s HTC phone back in the day. Google shouldn’t cannibalize its children.

Any of you remember Kitzmiller v. Dover? It was a case that essentially ruled that teaching ID/creationism was a theological doctrine and thus couldn’t be included in the biology curriculum of schools across the country. While the issues here at not the same (teaching creationsim vs mandatory bible studies), they have the same ideological underpinnings. Unless we’re talking about Sunday school*, schools must remain secular institutions where discussions of religions are from a neutral perspective in regards to the humanities. As to regards to a hypothetical Supreme Court case: considering how ultra-conservative the Supreme Court has become in recent years, I fear that they might side the theocrats.

*Are those still a thing?

Thanks. Clear up a few things.

I’m completely lost. Can someone fill me on what the hell is going on?

The thing that I love most about Lemmy and the wider Fediverse is the sense of actual community. Many of the users feel like actual people I could meet in real life. It’s essentially a digital cafe. Sure as hell not going back to Reddit or those other shit Big Tech sites.

No love for GMOs?

Not this shit again. This pseudo-scientific nonsense has been debunked numerous times already. You would think that this would be a dead conspiracy theory but here we are debating this once more. This is what happens when you have an scientifically illiterate population.

Jesus had a underdeveloped Siamese twin?
