This is true.

I’m also wondering what OP was wearing when he took the phone in for repairs, seems like he was asking for it.

Holy shit that lady is insane.

She even somehow managed to blame Obama for starting all of this?!? wtf?

The remaining 59 could not be confirmed or disconfirmed by NPR.

Let me get this straight NPR hired out another group to call the schools and ask them if they had shootings and then if the person answering that day said no or couldn’t confirm or deny it, they just said okay thanks and then counted it as not a shooting?

Lol wut

Good thing school faculty never lies about negative things, I guess!

The two teens used the pretense of doing cocaine to lure Ghey to the park, where they reportedly used the codeword “gay” to launch the frenzied and deadly attack on the unsuspecting trans teen.

Where tf they getting coke at like 15?

No, it’s a spike in the seasonal pattern, vets and doctors say it happens every few years or so, and is nothing to be concerned about.

Veterinarians say fears about ‘mystery’ dog illness may be overblown. Here’s why they aren’t worried

And National Geographic has a much better source on it:

What an absolute shitshow of an article from Wired. I know media often leads with fear mongering and hyperbole just for clicks, but this is bordering on dangerous with how they present it as some super mystery that will infect your furry friend.

They include this part:

David Needle, senior veterinary pathologist at the University of New Hampshire, has a lead on what the culprit might be; he thinks it may have been stalking canines for some time. In 2022, Needle’s team began looking at nasal and oral swabs taken from sick dogs in New England, in cases where no known cause of disease was found and the dogs weren’t responsive to treatment. They found a small DNA sequence of a potential disease-causing microbe in 21 of the initial 30 animal samples screened.

And then never elaborate on what the suspected culprit is, just leaving everyone hanging with their own worst case scenarios for what it could be.

The very next part of the information they are sharing, that they for some reason left out was that the doctor found is that it’s very likely being caused by the mycoplasma bacteria.

Which is the same one causing pneumonia in humans right now.

My understanding is these sorts of seasonal infections aren’t uncommon, and it’s likely being exacerbated by everyone returning to social norms, so all the little bugs are getting their buffet back on for the first time in years on a vulnerable population.

Who knows, though. I am not a doctor.

Perhaps part of the reason the idea that “a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s mouth” came to be so widely believed is that we don’t typically swap diseases with our dogs when we swap saliva. You are not going to get the flu from a dog kiss, but you might get it from kissing a human loved one.

Most of the bacteria in your dog’s mouth are not zoonotic, which means you probably won’t get a disease from a big old doggy kiss. There are exceptions to this. Dogs that are fed a raw diet are at an increased risk of contracting salmonella, which can be spread to humans, and you really don’t want to share kisses with a dog that regularly raids the litter box.

In other words, kissing your dog is less risky than kissing another human

Good luck out there!

Do you think those things permanently become a part of their mouth or something?

How do you feel about kissing people? Think of the things they’ve done in the past… This doesn’t really hold water.

Humans actually have more bacteria in their mouths than dogs, and most of the diseases we have aren’t zoonotic amongst each other so you’re actually a higher risk for smooching a human.

The only real risk is if you feed your dog raw chicken or they live with a litter box. So go ahead and kiss up! The world could always use more love, and it’s delightful for both parties!

After way too much research into this topic yesterday I can only conclude they are counting immigration data into the millennial side of things. They weren’t born here, but they are here now and of the age to be considered millennials, and they are technically American now, so it adds up to the biggest American generation ever.

Lots of technicalities in it, though!

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the total number of Baby Boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) was 76.4 million. The total number of Millennials (born between 1981 and 1996) was 72.2 million.

When did we become America’s largest population ever if boomers had more than us? What am I missing here?

You need some wool socks, bro.

I enjoyed it so much I bought the books.

I think it’s the first time in my life I bought a book instead of using the library, but when I tried to check them out they were backordered for months because of the popularity of the damn show. Lol

How have you not tried Silo?!?

Yeah it helped about 6500 people, but the rest is taking way too long, even by government standards.

At this point I’m not holding my breath he ever gets it done, so I guess check back with me in 2024.

Dude promised to do it if elected in 2020…soooo.

The Columbia spokesperson also said the protest “was not targeted at the secretary and dean’s class specifically, but all Sipa classes happening Wednesday afternoon”. They noted its organizers called it an “act of solidarity not tied to any political ideals or figures”.

Nothing to see here, just more misleading titles on Lemmy. Carry on.

Well considering only like 30 students walked out halfway through, out of a total of 300 or so, and that it was planned, known about and peacefully executed, I’m going to guess she paused briefly while they shuffled out, and then continued her speech to the other 270 kids still there.

Israel’s military has been calling for civilians to leave northern Gaza since airstrikes began. But some are too old or ill to travel. Others have weighed up dangers including attacks on convoys heading south and airstrikes in areas in the south that Israel designated “safer” zones, and decided to stay.

It seems they did…
