“Market prices for this new housing are likely to far exceed the already high prices that existed in Lahaina before the fire. For renters, the old housing stock that was destroyed provided opportunities for reasonable rents,”
I think this is the issue. Poor folks live in older buildings. Can’t rebuild new old, run-down cheap neighborhoods.
Article: The phrase “Rich men north of Richmond” is a cleverly disguised antisemitic trope
The guy that wrote the song: “It was funny seeing my song at that (Republican) presidential debate. Because I wrote that song about those people"

Calling everything racist isn’t helpful. This song is a poor man’s cry for economic justice, and instead of saying “yeah, that’s the 1% we’ve been complaining about, come over to our side,” the left calls it racist because it has Southern imagery in it.
Metal AF
Mind you, I’m not putting my fingers near that thing, but I like it from over here.
Let’s keep it civil
Oh, in that case I don’t have a comment on the American healthcare system.
I want the actual reviews so I have at least some chance of figuring out if the reviewer is a bot, a shill, a customer, or is reviewing the UPS guy instead of the product.
It’s totally different from wow. Wow is a real-time mmo. BG3 is a turn-based fantasy RPG (think Divinity:Original Sin or Wasteland 3).
It can force those who disagree with defederating to find a new instance that has access to all the communities they want. It also makes onboarding new people significantly more complicated, as their choice of instance will drastically influence their feed.
To be clear, I’m not arguing against defederation, just pointing out that it causes issues that need dealt with.
Look into cluster b personality disorders and cptsd. This behavior sounds like “splitting.”
I’m not a mental health professional, but lived with someone who was later diagnosed CPTSD, so I ended up doing a bunch of homework on wtf was going on.
I know my personal experience isn’t statistical proof of anything, but I’ve known a couple of people who started using meth, then their life fell apart. I don’t know anyone whose life fell apart first and started using meth later.
“Only” a third on meth? Jfc that’s high.
There are a lot of reasons people end up homeless. One specific drug being involved in a third of cases is huge.
Afaik Lemmy is a protocol used by a bunch of servers; lemmy.world, shitjustworks, lemmy.ml, etc. They’re all (well, mostly) connected to each other, and each hosts various communities that any member can access. You can access it all through kbin, though kbin is different from lemmy. For example, this community is on lemmy.world, and you posted it here from kbin. I saw it and responded from kbin.
“All” gives you all the content your home server has access to.
I hope that’s helpful. I’m still learning myself.
“Defund the Police” was some of the worst branding/slogan I’ve ever seen. Like, opponents would literally just say “Can you believe they want to defund the Police?”
The actual ideas of the movement, like the program in this article, are great. They’re popular, too. Demilitarizing the police has pretty widespread support.
But the first-glance impression of lawless anarchy that the “Defund” slogan brings up… You shouldn’t need to explain why your slogan doesn’t mean what it appears to mean.
The mods for r/guitar were (are?) pretty bad. The guys at r/guitarcirclejerk made a sport of seeing how stupid a post they could post on r/guitar without getting banned. Of course, actual noobs with stupid noob questions sometimes ended up getting banned for trolling, so they’d end up at r/guitars asking wtf.
It was kinda funny, kinda tragic. Dunno if it’s still there.
I used to hate the modem noise. Then, over time, like Pavlov’s dogs, I began to love the modem noise. I actually missed it when we got DSL.
It is a 4th amendment violation, but some shit judge ruled otherwise at some point so they get to pretend it isn’t.
I used to compare voting to a choice between a punch in the stomach vs a kick in the balls.
Nowadays it’s a bit closer to a punch in the stomach vs repeatedly stabbed with a dirty needle by a guy hearing voices.
Like yeah, both sides are bad, but one is a LOT worse than the other.
I’d be surprised if the D&D communities had an issue. The D&D subreddits allowed artists to link their socials on art posts.
Ukraine is attacking military targets. That’s the big difference here.
