You know it's very easy to get a bow and arrow right? Even if you're a felon with mental health problems.

Live your dreams.

12% of people are in poverty so 50% being low income sounds right. Especially cuz 60k a year is basically poverty in some parts of the country.

About 9% of kids are "food insecure" meaning their household income is so low access to food is uncertain or limited.

I wouldn't have technically qualified as either poverty-stricken or food insecure as a child, but I sure felt poor and went to bed hungry sometimes.

The numbers here may not be accurate, but the official numbers are bleak enough and certainly don't tell the whole story.

I'd maybe haul a ton of potatoes for a thousand pounds.

Sure as shit not tilling, fertilizing, planting, watering, maintaining, picking, hauling, and selling that many potatoes for that kind of money.

There's a reason big ag is so dominant, and it's (partially) because their margins are so insane a small farmer can't easily break into the market.

Just gotta add some bonus panels, forbidden romance always sells.

Seems like a blatant violation of the first amendment.

Peacefully assembling to share a meal isn't speech? Who the fuck says all these people aren't my friends and family?

Yep, Costco is fine we all knew the deal when we signed up. But the Walmart greeter stopping me? No way.

You wanna see if I'm stealing? Check the damn cameras.

36% is impressive considering that blood pressure.

I'm a fan of Lemmy, for the memes and link aggregator aspect of it. And sense of community, there are trolls but it's generally pretty positive.

I also like the Old Internet feel that the Fediverse in general has. I'm going out and looking for things that interest me again rather than hoping for something new to come into my feed. Actually reading articles. Commenting more than twice a year.

We'll see what happens but overall, I think I'm staying.

Stuff can also be funny twice.

Like sure I'm not gonna repost something knowingly but I'll chuckle at this the next time I see it.

He's justifying it by saying she was being disrespectful. I wasn't there, maybe she was, but that's kinda what you sign up for as mayor. I've been disrespected worse, for less money.

Does the sword make me age or live forever?

You got some good answers already but I just wanted to add...

The DOJ overcharged the hell out of him. Non violent, first time offender looking at decades? They were putting the screws on him in the hopes he'd plea, again to an unreasonable amount of time. Feels unethical to me.
