I know no one in the U.S. that measures anything in yards outside of football. It’s feet/miles. We don’t say we are 2y1" tall.

World News@lemmy.world•UK moves to ban smoking for everyone born after 2008English
2·26 days agoThe issue is that they are NOT doing this for healthcare costs, or any other reason other than telling others what they can do. If it was for healthcare costs, it would be everyone, so you can rule that out from jump. So why did they say 18 and under, because they weren’t sure if they could get a large enough following to say yes is they went to high, so divide and conquer. Find enough people who don’t care about the minority, and they can get it to pass. Why 18… Because they mostly have no say. If we relabeled it to non-whites can’t buy cigarettes, people would be like woah that’s racist, but the attempt would be the same, trying to control what others can or can’t do while not restricting enough of the majority to lose their votes.
Under 18 can’t smoke is like saying under 30 can’t cat call people on the street, under 40 can’t slap their coworkers on the ass, under 50 can’t beat their children, and under 60 can’t rape minors.
Either they are all bad/wrong for society… and should be banned for all, or they are manipulating votes as a plot to slide something else by under peoples noses while playing it up to look like a good guy
While I wouldn’t call it a straight or middle school thing, I would consider it highly toxic to post your relationship issues online instead of discussing them with your spouse and fixing/ending the relationship.

“Well why were the terrorists using school children as human shields!”

13·1 month agoEveryone knows that, but no country cares. Not China, not Russia, not the U.S., the U.K, and the U.N as a whole says it’s fine. Top trading patterns of Israel go #1 China, #2 U.S. and everyone cowers and lets it happen because they let it happen. If either cared, they’d stop all trade and Israel would be forced to stop

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why doesn't holding the Volume-down button mute the phone?
1·2 months agoIn my experience just pressing the volume down key once mutes any ringing alarm or call. Upon further looking into it, any bottom silences the ringing. Volume up down or power button.
The porch outside my door is 2 steps up and a landing pad that doesn’t allow for Enough room for me to open the door and have any meaningful hand off. Like if someone was holding a pizza they would have to step backwards down the stairs when I stepped out. So unless I am waiting outside the door when they get to the driveway I prefer them to just set it down
I was trying to weed my garden planter to plant stuff for spring a couple weeks ago and started ripping up big chunks of grass/roots that had grown in there. One of them pulled up a big thing of fur. Was confused until I looked to see what it was. Saw a pile of little baby bunnies. Ended up just covering them back up with the fur and going back inside. My laziness took that as a fuck it guess that’s their spot now.
I probably should have weeded the rest and still planted, but I figure the bunnies will probably eat whatever I plant there anyways

Your quote specifically states antisemitic people are completely unaware, guess that must be why
Yeah sorry, I was trying to expand on what you were saying, not refute it
