To counter your anecdote with my own, not that I've seen. My Gen Z sister and her cohort of Z friends have a "chosen family" dinner every weekend where they come over and cook. One person takes lead, the rest help as needed, and almost every single one finds recipes and learns techniques from Instagram or TikTok.

They've come up with some crazy good dishes that I wouldn't have stumbled across via traditional cookbooks and more millennial + oriented websites. My sister also has much better and more varied techniques than I ever got the old way, learning from mother and other relatives.

How long before the billionaires ban surgical methods of birth control, too?

Hysterectomies are notoriously difficult to get without husband's permission in the US. Even when the person trying to yeet their uterus needs it gone for medical reasons. Not a long shot to see it attempted yet within Trump's two years left.

As for stopping men from getting vasectomies? Lol, yeah right.

"We don't need condoms, babe, I wore my tighty whities today"

He might have a multi-series deal with Apple, that's not uncommon. I just watched Dan Levy's latest comedy which is part of a multi-series deal he has with Netflix. Mike Flanagan had the same with Netflix, now he's mid-deal with Amazon I think it is, whatever platform Carrie came out on.

User Tags. I skim right past when I see a wave of posts from the same user tagged profile. I use red tags for "do not engage" and yellow for "comment with caution". This is my alternate approach to reporting them (assuming they haven't really broken a rule or when the mods aren't active) or to blocking them (not enough users on Lemmy for that, I only block bots and fully public Nazis/pedos).

Ah, not southern. Family came in through East Coast ports, moved West along the Great Lakes, settled in the Midwest.

It's been a few years since she passed, everyone has had a chance to pick out anything they want to keep. Photos and diaries still left have been digitized and shared with any family member who want copies.

I'm actually first to toss physical nostalgic memorabilia, which is why everything ended up with me; other family members want me to make the stuff go away without having to trash it themselves. I accept my family role. Just the idea of doing geneology as a hobby gives me hives, that is absolutely not me or my personality. I think it is super cool and support other people enjoying it, thank goodness everyone is not like me.

I appreciate the offer to take a look, but I'm not going to share the things through Lemmy. I keep this account pseudonymous.

Ah, that's good. I am not familiar with Ancestry.com at all so I would not have thought of that one. Ty.

Welllll, the Bible does tell of how God uses the rape of innocent women to punish their sinful husband. So if Brand's the flavor of Christian that believes the Bible contains an accurate representation of God's character, then Brand is acting perfectly in line with being a Christian.

2 Samuel 12:11, David has slept with another man's wife and then killed the man, God says he will have David's wives (concubines) raped in public to punish him:

Thus says the Lord, > ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own household; I will even take your wives before your eyes and give them to your companion, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight.

He doesn't just condone rape or allow for it to happen, he actively makes it happen "I will raise up evil against you [...] I will take your wives before your eyes".

Reason 725 I deconstructed.

There have been sexual assault allegations against him since 2006, four years before they got married.

Yeah, probably not that one 😬. For multiple reasons but greatest among them, my grandma would come back to haunt my ass if I did.

I have the flexibility to work from home damn near anytime I please, so I plan to avoid the office this week. It's a Midwestern manufacturing facility, so my average coworker is male and decades older than me.

Most are nice to my face, I don't want to hear them spout racist, bigoted garbage.

Look to nearby colleges or universities with an agricultural arm. Example, https://snr.unl.edu/academicprograms/prescribed/index.aspx

Why not controlled flooding? Controlled fires are consuming a backlog of available fuel to mitigate the chances of a future uncontrolled fire. A flood wouldn't be relieving any sort of equivalent pressures, they're not analogous.

Beuatiful

Towards Portland and Seattle, the Democratic party Promised Land. I hear they let homeless people ramble about free range, gay people are allowed anywhere, and they have a preference for independently produced music over major labels. The Wild West of leftist debauchery and godlessness.

I assume Democratic party arrows point left to align with the simple left/right political binary.

TBF, I thought he already had.

And your thoughts on whether one must use the original stick pin or is it ok and not actually "defacing" the symbol to use a safer pin design? That's the "arbitrary" bit I was making fun of.

I've seen gender neutral bathrooms but I don't think I've seen bathrooms for trans people specifically. Well, that's inefficient; trans folk make up, what, 1% of the population if rounding up?

I could also see some might feel "outed" by having to use them, instead of any and all using a gender neutral option well-designed for privacy. Trans peeps get the same access as everyone else, my cis woman self also wins by having bathroom cubicles that don't have an inch-wide gap around the door. (I think this is what intersectional allyship looks like 🌈🙌, /s sorta)

I like the idea of a white "peace" poppy. I assume used as a quiet but visible way to protest, eg, any support of the a Israeli government's genocide of Palestinian people.

Favorite color, book, movie, etc.

I arbitrarily decided green is my favorite color just so I could answer icebreakers without looking like a personality-less weirdo. But really, I don't care and don't really understand having a "favorite".

Books, movies, other medias, I understand a bit more but still don't have any of my own. I rarely re-read or re-watch anything. And the things I do re-watch (mostly Halloween or Christmas season stuff) aren't my favorite overall, just for the applicable season. I can't recall the last book I re-read.
