Maggoty@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The poop psa absolutely no one asked for1·3 months agoI’d love to know where you live that one of the most marketable pieces of pork is cheaper than chicken and ground beef. Because that would be amazing.
Maggoty@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The poop psa absolutely no one asked for1·3 months agoPork loin is 7 dollars a pound. Ground beef is cheaper. Chicken or tofu are by far the cheapest proteins.
And I’m sorry but you cannot survive on spinach, oranges, pork, rice, and beans. Not to mention that rice is a 20 minute cook and dried beans take literal hours.
You can’t just say something is cheap when the knock is time, money, and mental energy. You sound like those yuppis born into money, just telling people to buy a house to get on the financial freedom train.
Maggoty@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The poop psa absolutely no one asked for4·3 months agoIt’s really not cheap. We have the studies about how it’s more expensive and about how food deserts exist. And time? Lmao. You get home from an 8-5 job at 6-7 depending on your commute. Which means you have 2-3 hours for relaxation, food, exercise, social activity, bills, and house chores before you have to go to sleep so you can get 8 hours.
And expecting someone to work all day and still have abundant mental energy is just pure toxic positivity. That’s not the experience of most people. We also have historical studies showing we didn’t “work” as much in pre-industrial times and that with the rise of shift work comes the rise of prepared food as a calorie source.
The answer here is plainly to regulate the prepared food, not blame people for their lack of a pocket universe operating on a different timescale.
Maggoty@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The poop psa absolutely no one asked for4·3 months agoThat takes money, time, and mental energy. None of which are in high supply for most people working shift jobs or 8-5. The best personal solution is to make and freeze your meals on your off day so you can just heat them up whenever. The best systemic solution is to guillotine a capitalist for producing toxic food that masquerades as healthy and delicious, then ask the others if they have any questions about the new food regulations.
This is far less of a problem in other countries. We don’t have to let corporations treat us as an exploitable resource.
There are cities that use medics on motor bikes for this exact reason. They can’t evac someone but getting there quickly to use a defibrillator or control bleeding could make a difference.
Maggoty@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?1·3 months agoThat’s part of my point though, he’s going to have the very best and about ten times the people on the job as compared to his security detail back then.
Maggoty@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?3·3 months agoI mean, it takes all kinds right? A desire to go out big can manifest in so many ways and he didn’t go after an A list actor, or a CEO, or any number of other high profile people. There is a reason he decided on Trump, even if his original impetus was suicide.
Maggoty@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure FantasyEnglish24·3 months agoThe sheer amount of money being removed by the 1 percent is regoddamndiculous. It’s something like 45 trillion dollars since wages diverged from productivity in 1975.
It would require Apple to accept a dollar less in profit.
Maggoty@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?5·3 months agoMarketing aside, any normative young person can pass boot camp. (And basic training) The military gets worried when the pass rates for those courses gets low. Versus keeping pass rates low for schools like special squirrel.
Maggoty@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?33·3 months agoIt’s hard to say. He’s definitely closer to it than any president since JFK. But security is way better these days. And before the FBI comes knocking on my door, this is just an objective analysis.
We’ve already had a shooter with a near miss. So clearly there’s the will to do this among some segment of the population. Probably a conservative who feels betrayed or person who is truly far left, (not just a progressive).
However, security during the campaign and for JFK was a lot less than it is now. It’s going to be a lot harder to get close enough with a rifle. If you think of a plan the USSS has already thought about it and probably has a counter of some sort.
So while he’s definitely the closest, I don’t think we’ll see another president assassinated unless they do something truly stupid like gut the USSS.
In this case there was no real issue. He was trying to get free advertising out of the court. But also, we’ve had animated avatars and text to voice for over a decade now. This isn’t an AI use case.
I’m a lot closer to being an expert than most people and that’s a war crime.

Maggoty@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Russia is not on Trump's tariff listEnglish13·3 months agoIf I’m a politician and I’m putting tariffs in place, the one place getting annihilated by a 1,000% tariff is the place I’ve already sanctioned into the ground. Is that performative? Maybe. Would it prevent headlines like this? Yep.
Makes you wonder what’s going on in the swamp.
Jokes on them. I got a hard time for a formation in hell.

I had to check the sub. I was loading the proverbial shotgun. You got me OP. :)
From what I can find you’re talking about sale pricing. Which also happens to other proteins.
