UCC church we used to go to in Indiana did a baptism for a lesbian couple back in 2007. The Texas one we went to had a black lesbian pastor for a congregation that was 1/3 Philippino, 1/3 Nigerian, and 1/3 old white Texans. “Do not put a period where God has put a comma. God is still speaking” was the official motto for the UCC for decades. I’m not a religious person but i do believe that churches like the UCC do a lot of good in this world.

Good luck explaining to people around here that the lesser of two evils is still evil.

America learned everything we know from England.

Bright Sun Films has a series about notable bankruptcies and has one for Circuit City

The risk analysis is really bad for those in abortion ban states. You can face a malpractice suite for allowing a pregnant woman to bleed out, which your insurance will cover, or you can face murder chargers for performing am illegal abortion, which can be 20+ years in jail or even capital murder.

I would rather you do other things. This is … legal… technically, but I don’t like it.

In fact, it prevents almost no fallcdamage beyond 20 feet

Because liberals in power would rather align with fascists than anyone to the left. Look at how US Democrats would rather debate the merits of executing abortion doctors than debate Medicare for All, how how UK Labour would rather argue whether transwomen should be allowed in public spaces rather than bringing back council housing. Corporate interests will always lead to fascism since it is the only way to continue selling the failed promises of capital

Idk where you live, but a lot of the country gets sunset at 4:45 in the winter

There used to be a basket full of old National Geographic, Newsweek, and GQ magazines in the bathroom for you and any guests to enjoy.

Don’t mind me. I’m jist digging through my post history to give a big fat “I told you so” to all the liberals on Lemmy.

There are also loads of safety regulations on work sites. If someone is going into a confined space like a sewer, someone is monitoring their air, someone is in direct communication with that person, someone is watching over any lines or cables that have to go with the worker, and a whole group is directing traffic to make sure no one drives into the work crew.

I wasn’t as clear as i wanted to be. Roberts refused to answer questions on the ruling because he believed a similar ruling would occur soon. He was put on the Supreme Court for this exact reason.

Roberys was on the Bush legal team for Bush vs. Gore and refused answer questions about the ruling during his confirmation hearings. In fact, three of the justices on the Supreme Court are Bush Vs Gore alumni, all for the Bush leagl team.

I used to work facilities and maintenance for a department store when i was a kid, and escalators are nothing to fuck around with. Those motors are are capable of moving 8 tons up an entire story, and nothing will stop them from doing so. Anything that gets into the gear system will be crushed and destroyed, and your bones won’t even phase the motor.

Believe it or not, we do have an international border in Ohio. You’re out having a lovely time fishing around Put-in-Bay and the next thing you know, the Coast Guard shows up demanding to see your passport since you drifted into Canadian water half an hour ago.

And radio telescopes aren’t exactly compact enough to build in space. Radio telescope arrays tend to be fields withs dozens-hundreds of dishes several meters across.

It’s the pivot Muskrats have been making since astronomers first started raising the alarm aboit Starlink. It’s our lazy scientists fault for not launching $4billion telescopes into space every year.

Yeah it’s very telling that the president they hate the most is the one who ended slavery, and second place was the first black president.

Israel has been massing forces on the Lebanon border and saying they will invade for months now. At what point is the Lebanese government allowed to defend itself?
