As a Californian, I also find this shocking. What the fuck, Florida?
- Comment on When Lemmy got named did no one think that the "lemming" association might alienate people? 4 weeks ago:
Lemmings don’t jump off cliffs and they are not stupid. A sociopath employed by Disney threw a few dozen off a cliff for documentary in the 50s, for… reasons…? The story stuck. They’re just normal little rodents, tougher than most, as they can survive brutal winters on bleak landscapes.
- Comment on How does one go about curing a pill hangover? Never had one but a patient of me asked me this and I had no answer. I know how to get over alcohol hangover but not a pill hangover? 4 weeks ago:
So many things come in pill form…
- Comment on I am from a different millenia 5 weeks ago:
Don’t see a lot of Five Iron Frenzy references around here! It’s such a… specific genre.
- Comment on Why don't states in the US come up with their own health insurance program? So people can pay into it prolly less then what they pay now and the state put the money in a bank and use the interest for 5 weeks ago:
You can’t just go get medi-cal though, you have to qualify by having an income of $20k or below (more if you have kids), are under 21 or over 65, permanently disabled or currently pregnant.
People on medi cal are constantly stressing about earning $1 too much and losing their healthcare. Covered California helps, but it’s still bad.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 1 month ago:
I cannot imagine working on spreadsheets on a smartphone. I’m getting a stress headache thinking about it.
- Comment on New bird flu variant found in Nevada dairy cows has experts sounding alarms: ‘We have never been closer to a pandemic from this virus’ 1 month ago:
It’s been in cows since last March. That’s why all the ruckus about “muh rights to drink raw milk!” They were told not to (by the libs) because of bird flu, so… here we are.

- Comment on bird flu 2 months ago:
Yes…? We’ve been vaccinating livestock for relevant diseases since 1879, starting with Chicken Cholera.
- Comment on Thanks mom, I don't want any 2 months ago:
There also appears to be some sort of sliced lunch meat in the mix there. Again… lawless hellscape.
- Comment on A guy just got arrested in Houston US for allegedly being an ISIS member. I grew up in Reagan and 911 era are these people just saying this or are they actively buying bombs? 4 months ago:
Just FYI, while the concentration camps in the US were absolutely inexcusable, destroyed communities, forced people to sell their homes and businesses and took people away from the lives they had built and everything the knew and loved, they were not extermination camps.
Of the 120,000 people unjustly incarcerated, 1,862 people died in the camp hospitals in the four years the camps operated. The current US mortality rate is about 0.8% (about 800 deaths per 100,000 people per year). So for 120,000 people (using today’s standard, I can’t find the rate for the 1940s), we would expect about 960 deaths per year, or 3840 in all four years.
Again, not condoning the US concentration camps in any way. But they were not death camps.
- Comment on YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index 5 months ago:
Can’t tell you how disappointed I am that isn’t just a chart of increasingly tubby kittens.
