Red touch black, safe for jack. Red touch yellow, kill a fellow

It's a very long article with many examples, but these highlight well

One 82-year-old woman, who wore pajamas with holes in them because she didn’t want to spend money on new ones, didn’t realize she had given Republicans more than $350,000 while living in a 1,000 square-foot Baltimore condo since 2020.

By the time a Taiwanese immigrant from California passed away from lung cancer this year at age 80, she had given away more than $180,000 to Trump’s campaign and a litany of other Republican candidates – writing letters to candidates apologizing for not getting donations to them on time because she was going into heart surgery. She had only $250 in her bank account when she died, leaving her family scrambling to cover the cost of her funeral.

And a 78-year-old, a widow who limited showers to save on her water bill and canceled her long-term care insurance, didn’t understand why the retirement savings her husband had left her was dwindling so quickly. After CNN reached out to her family, they learned that the woman gave more than $200,000 in donations to Democratic political groups and candidates.

This whole thing is a plague, citizens United and this concept of pacs, and all this money in politics is absurd. I think in the modern day of internet and with each campaign setting up a website, and normal reporting and debates, town halls, and Rally's is sufficient, we don't need all these mailers, and constant ads, and texts, and so on and so on. it's more just a giant transfer of wealth from the people to networks and ad agencies.

All this money has turned politics towards sensationalism, and it's hurting society.

I've noticed this on my side too, I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but I don't enjoy the style if it is.

It's also good for keeping wasps from building nests for the same reason

(Or after reading the wiki, maybe an indirect one relating to the use of lye in the paint)

At one point, it was thought to be very safe because of its fire resistance, treated as a miracle material. many buildings throughout the world were made with asbestos, and many still exists.

for the most part it is only harmful when disturbed, either when mining and processing, or when destroyed.

For the headline-only readers, this is satirical

Awe, thank you :)

 

I enjoy NSFW when seeking it out, but I don't like being bombarded with every NSFW post in the lemmyverse at all times.

In the settings I only see all on or all off.

In the old sync I remember there being an option to hide NSFW on the main pages, but to show them when you go to a specific sub, I'd like that again.
