Finally, a church that’s in the news for doing something GOOD.

Rent-seeking can fuck right off.

I love Libby! I listen to audiobooks with it all the time.

Other fun library facts:

• If you don’t like leaving the house, lots of libraries let you sign up for a card online
• In addition to books, they usually have ebooks and audiobooks online, as well as DVDs and CDs at your local branch
• You should visit your local library and see if they have other things…some have video games, or kitchen/cooking equipment, there are often classes or presentations, all free

Right you are, updated accordingly. Thanks for the tip.

Oh yeah, my bad for not including what it’s about. I’ll edit that back into the post.

And for extra reading, learn about how the new pope covered up for priests that abused kids when he was a bishop:

*Edit: removed the bad source. The Jpost article is good and includes several additional sources. For more: https://www.qwant.com/?q=+Robert+Prevost+abuse+cover+up

LMAO, this is spooky as hell, and is now the official last photo of the pope.

Need X-kill replacement.

The big ones are at state capitols. For those that can’t make it to their capitol, there are smaller protests in places of high traffic…so yeah, intersections and bridges.

Yeah, that headline did the star of Real Genius dirty with choosing Batman Forever

It’s so they can track you better. If you’re in the US and using a Chromium based browser, so long as you don’t view “adult content” they usually don’t pop this up. But they can’t track in Firefox, and because of GDPR, they can’t track logged-out users in the EU, so it’s all about the money. I use Vivaldi and a VPN to watch youtube, works mostly fine.

EDIT: Well never-fucking-mind…this strategy has worked for me without fail for a lonnnnng time, and today they got me…same day the pulled uBlock origin from the Chrome store…dicks.

You can totally turn it off in a couple clicks or leave it on if you want it. Other tech companies take note, this is how you do it.

I see what you did there – using the thread about complements to complement another Lemming, good on ya!

Every Texan I know has a generator to deal with the unreliability of the grid, and there’s never been an article about someone in Iowa getting a surprise $100k electric bill…and the average wage in Texas is substantially lower than in “left wing” states like California or Washington…so not sure you’re making an apples-to-apples comparison, but time will be the judge, we can all check-in in a year and see how this plays out. Does Lemmy have a remind me! bot?

And with the entire Department of Education being on the chopping block, it is likely to get worse before it gets better.

Reached for comment, Donald Trump said “see, why can’t I do that?!”

Trump’s greatest accomplishment, surpassing the DuoLingo owl in being the most annoying thing to make me want to learn Spanish. Pendejo.

Is this a midwest thing? It feels like a midwest thing.
