One thing nobody has commented on - how that article slips in a seemingly positive mention of Nestlé (they own the cafe that uses plant milks). That raised my eyebrows.

The first thing I check out in AI generated images is the hands. The hands in this ad are nightmare fuel. I can't believe they still wrnt ahead and published this, lol.

People in Australia always say that everyone overstated its dangers.

But I think Australians just want us to visit and store more of their mindworms.

OP was clearly talking about BDSM. Now he's too embarrassed to correct us and is continuing with this whole communities / magazine charade.

An Alabama woman was imprisoned for endangering her fetus. She gave birth in a jail shower

But over the next seven months of incarceration for “chemical endangerment” in the Etowah county detention center (ECDC), Caswell was denied regular access to prenatal visits, even as officials were aware her pregnancy was high-risk due to her hypertension and abnormal pap smears, according to a lawsuit filed on Friday against the county and the sheriff’s department. She was also denied her prescribed psychiatric medication and slept on a thin mat on the concrete floor of the detention center for her entire pregnancy.

In October, when her water broke and she pleaded to be taken to a hospital, her lawyer says, officials told her to “sleep it off” and “wait until Monday” to deliver – two days away.

During nearly 12 hours of labor, staff gave her only Tylenol for her pain, the suit says, allegedly telling her to “stop screaming”, to “deal with the pain” and that she was “not in full labor”. Caswell lost amniotic fluid and blood and was alone and standing up in a jail shower when she ultimately delivered her child, according to the complaint and her medical records. She nearly bled to death, her lawyers say.

So, jailed for endangering a fetus but not given prenatal care while in jail and forced to give birth in a jail shower when her labor signs were ignored - all of which actually endangers the fetus they are so concerned about. They don't care about the fetus, they just hate women and want to punish them for having sex. It couldn't be clearer.

Btw Piracy moved to:

@piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Run by the same mod. They have their megathread, faqs, and everything up already. Everything that they need for their community to start again in this new place.. I would imagine the users of a sub all about piracy are absolutely fine about leaving Reddit for something new.

ETA: Comment edited so you can see the whole magazine name.

Aha. This may be why Threads is based on ActivityPub - a way to prevent accusations of it being a Twitter clone. It's just an innocent member of the Fediverse. ;)

The Greece tragedy is lacking the irony and hubris of this.

I mean, it's a tourist submersible that was aiming to bring billionaires to view the Titanic wreckage and it likely got wrecked itself. And they named the submersible Titan.

The sub's company OceanGate was dinged by a former employee for all sorts of safety issues and they fired and sued him. There are also lots of choice quotes from the CEO (who happens to be on the vessel) about moving fast and breaking things, and regulations stifling innovation. So there's some possible karma involved.

This was predicted. No doctor is taking a chance to be arrested or sued, let alone losing their license to practice medicine in the state.

It doesn't just affect OBs or gynecologists. A general practitioner or an emergency room doctor could prescribe a medication and if that patient happens to be pregnant (and did not know it at the time she received the medication) and has a miscarriage due to the medication, that doctor could go to jail and be sued by every family member of the patient. It's common sense that they would move to states where abortion is legal and where they can provide the standard of care they were trained to provide, without fear of being arrested or enormous legal fees.

OMG so that's why the CEO was piloting it? They couldn't find a sucker, er, pilot?

I'm American and I can't think of a comedy show that makes fun of Indian food. Can you name one of them so I can check it out?

I'd say most medium to large sized cities in the US have Indian restaurants, so it's not so unusual.

I don't know about taxes in Kentucky but I'm assuming people in the state want to pay as little in taxes as possible. This is the result. How will they pay bus drivers higher salaries to attract them and hire more drivers without raising revenue via higher taxes? I'm going to make a wild guess that teacher and school staff pay is also terrible in Kentucky.

Also, the articles mention that school staff is waiting with the kids. So they are out at the bus stops till 930pm? Are they getting paid overtime for this? Do they have children of their own?

What have Mitchell McConnell and Rand Paul said about this situation in their state?

I just asked my husband. He said that he watched the show from beginning to end. This is a direct quote from him: "No one is going to be a better person for having watched it, but it somehow kept me sucked in until I finished it."

This reminds me of a recent stay at a chain hotel. One person at the front desk for the entire hotel. He seemed really overwhelmed. I felt bad for the guy.

I can't think of a single left leaning space that is not concerned or empathetic about the mental health of men. I can think of several right leaning spaces that dismiss men's mental health struggles with "stop being a snowflake and man up."

It's basic Econ 101. People buy more in high inflation periods because they know the same goods will cost more in the future.

ETA: I myself have bought sneakers in future sizes for my kids as well as household consumables and toiletries (meaning, not gifts) this Black Friday.
