Rep. Moulton says many Marine junior officers are opposed to LA deployment
  • Out of curiosity, I went to the r/USMC sub. For what I expected, they were surprisingly level headed, moreso just telling people to be careful and not to do anything stupid. The r/LAPD sub however, was disgustingly disappointing and pissed me off.

  • Governor Newsom to deliver major address to Californians ("Democracy at a Crossroads")
  • I got chills. This is what a leader should sound like. And I don’t like that he praised the thugs that are LAPD, but I get that it’s important for us Californians to be united against a common enemy in this time. It also sounds like he is encouraging more peaceful protest around the nation. Now we just need Newsom to show up to the No Kings rally in LA. More of this, please!

  • begging at dinnertime?
  • So I have experience with two dogs. One was used to getting human food so she would beg all the time. The 2nd was raised never getting human food, plus she was a picky eater. And the 2nd doggo didn’t beg for food

  • I got turned off Lemmy after the death of lemm.ee and it feels we are witnessing the very slow death of human to human communication.
  • I was feeling sad about Lemm.ee, but right now I feel that perhaps we’re too attached to any one instance lol. It helps to have more than one account and on different instances, to not put all your eggs in one basket, so to speak. It sucks to lose comment and post history though.

  • The median age of homebuyers is now up to 56.
  • It’s impossible. I’d have to leave the place I call home to afford a house (which I’ll probably end up doing someday). At this point it’s no family and kids for me, no pets, I got a pension and play the stock market when I can, work per diem, otherwise just try to rent cheap, share a car, live minimally, and save money for seeing the world with my partner. There are acquaintances who tell me they’re jealous of my lifestyle, which I can’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable with comments like that. If they took a closer look, they would see that there are plenty of comforts that I sacrifice.
