The thing that scares me about these laws being passed is that they serve to embolden those who want to hurt us. MAGA uses this as a hate feedback loop. They are winning. Any anti-LGBT bill that passes is a W for them and a step closer to the edge of society for us. It’s not going to stop.

About 25% of the time I will start writing a comment only to find that I don’t think my argument is compelling enough, or otherwise is not something I feel makes a good point.

GET A JOB SIR!

I thought I had gotten in over my head when I decided that I wanted to make kimchi. That is, until I came across Maangchi’s YouTube channel. My third batch was the best kimchi I’ve ever had!

The leftover juice is amazing. The funk is where it’s at!

We shall see!

I am was an Apollo user, and decided that Reddit killing it was too much. I switched to Lemmy, and while it has been an adjustment, I am reminded of the days of forums past. I dig it. Using Voyager (formally Wefwef) has helped preserve most of the UI of Apollo, which is nice. I had never heard of Progressive Web Apps before, and am super interested in the topic now. This makes me want to pick up programming again, in hopes of eventually being able to contribute to open source projects.

My clue’s pointing over here now

Let us not insult rocks like that.

I’ve worked 2 manufacturing jobs in the past 2 years, and know others that work at other factories. We have not received raises that track with inflation, ever. I know this is anecdotal, but lived experiences often differ to what stats are cited.

You should have met his wife in college.

I love the idea that there is IFTTT in the Batman universe! IFTTB, if you will. Web hooks ftw lol.

Agreed. If the crowd your with is big Wayne’s World fans, it slaps. But I’ve found more often than not, the 20 minute solos kinda kill the momentum. I wish it was better received, as I am a HUGE Queen fan.

My gotos:

• Hall & Oates - Out of Touch
• Billy Ocean - Suddenly
• Lionel Richie - Hello
• Bon Jovi - Livin’ on a Prayer
• All 4 One - I Swear
• Brian McKnight - Back at One

Old school == Best school, IMO

So many people across different demographics get into older songs, regardless of genre. The best songs to sing are ones that you can hit the notes and not put the crowd/your friends to sleep to.

Have fun with it!

I agree with you that there needs to be a robust system in place to provide resources and other support for women that feel like surrogacy is one of their only ways to make money. However, the legislation in Italy is targeting LGBTQ families specifically. Right wing/fascist ideology the world over is experiencing a renaissance in support of legislating LGBTQ folk back into the shadows. It’s working, btw.

In Italy, it is already illegal for same-sex couples to adopt. Now they are trying to make surrogacy punishable by jail time, no matter where an Italian citizen goes to do it. Should the government be allowed to tell you that you cannot have a family? If I proposed a law that would effectively outlaw your ability to have a family, would you support that? Is this new law really just to protect women?
