I thought In New Zealand you are allowed to walk into an airport with a spear for ceremonial welcomes.

Complaints from those held there include lack of air conditioning…it was 96 in the shade today in south Florida, huge mosquitos…people from the North don’t understand how big mosquitoes can get in the swamp, plus it’s been raining so add in 100% humidity on top of everything else.

It’s a terrible place to be held

I’m from here…and noting that everything is covered in lizards is honestly something I never noticed or paid attention to …it’s just normal for me. What an interesting little piece of anthropology for me to absorb from a random Lemmy quote.

And yes, there are 3 house lizards on my window right now as I type this.

Mosquitos.

Fuck them. But without them most ecosystems would fail

Ya well in the 70s and 80s this was what we as kids were given to eat.

I’m paying for that now

Well it’s obvious she wants to be seen as a loyal GOP supporter or Trump with her ‘yes’ vote, but still wants the bill to be delayed. Having the house delay the bill makes her look like a loyal lapdog for optics, but secretly wants changes and can blame someone else for the bill being delayed instead of having the delay blamed on her vote

Coward

It’s still a right embedded in the constitution. The supreme court didn’t say he could do it…but the orange Cheetos in chief probably thinks they did because his mother gave birth to him at the top of a ladder

How many false positives will it have when trying to find accounts for John Smith

Always follow the money. Why are GOP and billionaires afraid and against this man who pledges to help the poor and struggling working class? Because they obviously have an interest in keeping the poor and struggling in the status quo conditions in which they live.

If helping the poor didn’t hurt their bottom line, they wouldn’t pay to keep it from happening.

Ding ding…we have a winner.

Anything that monitors for data that proves climate change is real is now WOKE and Trump wants to sweep it under the carpet

HIPAA data is protected…until it isn’t. Laws change. Especially when companies are salavating to access health data.

Follow the money. Nominee for surgeon general has a stake in wearable tech.

Just like when those scatter machines were forced on the TSA, it’s because the person in charge had a stake in the company making them.

My company gave these things away to each employee for some ‘fitness challenge’ between departments…I never even opened the package. My group was mad at me for not helping win the free lunch or whatever it was … Until I made them read the privacy policy. Many stopped wearing them immediately

When the engine is off?

Of course, how to tell this with an electric car?

It’s good to be da king.

That’s the great thing about science.

Things that are considered facts in today’s world can be disproven by new experiments and observations (recreated through experimentation and after adequate peer review).

So for me, it depends on what is being evaluated. 2+2 is a fact. Exact age of the moon might be up for more debate.

Now that the hospital was forced to keep her artificially alive to deliver, the family must now pay for the expensive care of the premie baby without any support or ,afaik, Insurance to cover it.

GOP sure does care about babies in the womb… But I certainly they are born, fuck them, let them find some bootstraps

Most features here let Google scan and evaluate what you do on the web, messages, and apps.

They say it helps security, but of course it assures those features are on letting them suck in more data about the person.

A company like Google doesn’t do something out of the kindness of their hearts, they do it for profit

So if you are in trouble or held against your will and you say you’ll order pizza but sneK a call to 911 for help instead and pretend to order and give your address for delivery hoping an operator catches on… Doubt the AI will catch on.

Since when can ICE make traffic stops?

I was in H.S. in 85… I don’t remember anything labeled MOVE bombing. Back then it was still big 3 networks for me, I had no cable. Everything was appointment TV including the news.
