Those were only holidays off from working as a serf for your landlord. You still had to feed your families by working the rest of the time
But anyways, yeah Americans don’t get enough PTO

LED adhesive strip lighting for the back of my TV. Back lighting is super soft on the eyes and with color changing you can incorporate the color to match the mood. Playing Zelda, green. Watching sci-fi blue/purple. Halloween content, orange. Etc
Nah, this was a concession both Democrats and Senate Republicans were asking for. They hope to have a full budget deal finished before a new administration so there’s a clean slate for either incoming president
Relying on slave labor from Xinjiang isn’t worth saving a few bucks on a tshirt
Edit: there’s also all the toxic chemicals from lack of regulation https://healthnews.com/news/chemicals-childrens-clothing-shein/
Got a different way to abbreviate Eastern Equine Encephalitis?
They’ll just use it to brick more printers if you don’t buy the right ink…
EVs don’t do any shifting and usually have a low center of gravity, even better for suspect road conditions!
Focus on progress that has been made, solutions to the climate crisis have been growing exponentially over the past decade. And it’s not a binary issue of everything is sunshine and rainbows vs we’re all fucked. There’s more of a spectrum. Also remember the past environmental successes we’ve had with like acid rain, the ozone layer, leaded gas, mercury pollution. We’ve come a long way.
Making any progress, no matter how small makes the future just that much better than it otherwise would be. Yes, systemic changes out of the control of anyone on Lemmy are needed, but if say every person on Lemmy worked towards reducing their own environmental impacts that could have huge ripple effects in the economy of the green transition. Just plan out pragmatically/realistically how much time, mental energy, and resources are worth it to you.
A lot things that individuals can do to help with the climate crisis often also have personal benefits like long term financial savings, less pollution exposure, healthier plant-based diets, etc.
Yes! The biggest factor with body weight is calories in vs calories out. Foods with volume and mass but fewer calories displace calorie dense foods. Even as simple as substituting popcorn vs potato chips is huge on calorie savings. Protein and fats (ideally plant based) can also help you feel full longer than say simple carbs like potato chips/white pasta.
I highly recommend Harvard’s Nutrition Source for science-based nutrition info and recipes, the language is very accessible too!
Edit: fixed link
When there’s more people who want to buy homes than there are homes for sale, the power dynamic is still in favor of the sellers. Sounds like this could potentially favor more experienced buyers/hedge funds over first-time home buyers. If sellers don’t want to cover fees for buyer’s agent, then that’s more a first time buyer would have to pay upfront.
Agreed! This is just the beginning, I’m convinced this was the plan all along for most smart devices. I will make an exception for products that can be conveniently operated when an account/app is optional at least.
Kroger and Albertsons own a ton of “other grocery chains.” Classic example of just simply buying up the competition
I echo the other commenter and recommend speaking with a “registered dietician” (RD degree) about your personal nutrition goals.
Calories in/out, physical activity levels, and genetics are three of the biggest factors with blood cholesterol levels. Would you overall eat fewer calories if you switched to low fat dairy? Maybe then it’s a decent strategy for you.
Harvard’s Nutrition Source is a great educational resource about nutrition that is science based and uses accessible language.
Am I missing something? There is nothing new in the article. It’s just contrasting Harris’ Senate record and 2020 primary stances with the pragmatic political compromises that the Biden-Harris administration has made over the past 3.5 years because they had to deal with getting things through Congress. Of course the compromises made with Congress are going to be more to the right than what Harris has previously advocated for as her ideal stances, that’s what politics is…
Creativity comes and goes. I don’t like the internet’s culture of forcing content creators to produce no matter what because it leads to poor quality. The ideas will come back
Haha all this time I thought it was some widespread cultural reference. Thanks for all the OC!
Easy, buy up a bunch of land for conservation
Yeah and my rationale for deciding how much is a little involved… Essentially, carbon offset markets are either straight up scams or over hyping the impact. Instead I donate directly to charities doing good work related to the environment or the fall out from the climate crisis. The U.S. EPA estimates that each metric ton of CO2 emitted costs society and the environment around $200 in damage from things like natural disasters, civil unrest from displacement, extinction of species, etc. the average US household emits about 17 MT/year.
So around tax return season I go to FootprintCalculator.org and estimate how many MT of CO2 our household emitted the year prior. Then I set monthly recurring donations to the charities to roughly equal the amount of $200 times MT spread across the year. So it’s fairly automated/low effort, and just comes out a little bit each month.
The types of charities vary, but they’re all doing incredible work, here’s some of them:
Coalition for Rainforest Nations (the operate globally with indigenous and local communities to do everything possible to protect rainforests and reforest areas. The donations really stretch far because they predominantly work in low income areas)
ProPublica (no paywall investigative news organization that has really hard hitting reporting that holds polluters accountable by government agencies)
Lahaina Community Land Trust (supporting Native Hawaiian victims of the Lahaina fire and trying to prevent their land from being bought up by private equity and billionaires)
World Wildlife Foundation (great work with preserving biodiversity and raising awareness of nature with the public. It’s hard to care about something if you don’t know about it)
Union of Concerned Scientists (political advocacy org)
Local food bank, urban green space advocates, and housing support orgs (the most vulnerable people in our communities experience extreme weather much differently than those of us with AC and a solid roof)
Also agree with the other commenter about giving time
