When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obliged to call for help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.

Of course, it's not an entirely unreasonable question to ask, and if they were asking it seriously, it could lead to some self-reflection and improvement.
For example, maybe people are trying to assassinate Trump because he's made it clear that he approves of assassination as a political tool, and he's also made it clear that he is a worthless piece of slime. Maybe Harris just isn't quite bad enough to rise to the level of murder to a bunch off morons.
Also Harris hasn't really disappointed anyone. I don't think anyone who plans on voting for her believes she's the second coming of Christ or any bullshit like that.
However Trump is not leading a political movement. He's leading a cult. When you find out your god is just some asshole, you might snap.

I didn't have the option to have my bank send it in, but I printed a check for each kid each month to cover school lunch costs. I don't know what it cost them to process the checks, but it wasn't all that inconvenient for me to do. If there had been a no-cost way to load funds online I would have done it, but it wouldn't have been much more convenient for me. I'm not going to pay extra to make it easier for them.

Whenever anyone talks about how high interest rates are now, I remember when my wife and I bought our house in 1997. We were pre-approved for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 7.5%, and we were told to take it.
What we were actually told was, "you'll never see a rate this low again.

I'd say you earned them as part of the agreed compensation in exchange for your work. That way you also cover circumstances where there's no union, and no government requirement, but the employer still offers PTO to be competitive with other employers. Which theoretically could also be driven by other people's unions or governments, but then that would be indirect.
Besides which, regardless of how the arrangement came to be, you earned your PTO.

You seem to have misread the original post. It didn't say anything about pretending he isn't a candidate. What it said was:
Can we stop pretending like it's ok for this guy to be running for president?
Emphasis mine
So, poster was suggesting that it's wrong for us to pretend that it is reasonable for a corrupt, criminal wanna-be fascist dictator running for president.
I kind of agree. It's not something we should consider ok. However, it is par for the course.

This happened to someone I worked with years ago. Not in a cubicle, but in a locked basement office. I was his supervisor.
He died in the office on a Friday evening. He had taken off work the following Monday and Tuesday because he was going to do some work on his house.
His brother was supposed to meet him on the Saturday, but he never showed up. By Wednesday, the police were involved, and they called me to ask me to see if he was in the office.
I worked in a different building a few blocks away, so I headed over.
I didn't have a key to get in his office, but there happened to be a ladder, so I climbed up and popped out the ceiling tiles to look over the wall.
He was a strange, troubled guy but very kind.

The attitude among all generations has been: your own kids inherit, and they distribute to their kids as they see fit.

In a functioning society, he would be kept in a safe, healthy environment where he could receive the care he needs and wouldn't be a danger to himself or others. However, the U.S. offers no alternative for those who need mental care and supervision other than a life on the streets or in politics.
This is probably a stupid question, but if I want to add a line to a PDF telling people to direct any comments to my Lemmy account, how would I specify that?
Obviously teenager is 13-19. "Young adult" would start at 20, but where's the cutoff at the upper end? Similarly, what's the range for "adult", "old", "elderly", " ancient"? If someone asks for responses from "old men", how do I know if it applies to me?
It seemed like every time we visited WDW, there was some event or show taking place in front of Cinderella's Castle, and the interior was closed. When I visited as a kid, you'd walk through the castle and ooh and aah at the mosaic. I've wanted to see the mosaic again for years, and it was always closed. I finally got the chance again last time, and I took some pictures. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/14f33cf9-eb86-4dbc-a453-ae9c8197c9ee.jpeg) ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/d8c7e9da-6d10-4c96-ba24-1c3ad68235f1.jpeg) ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b6a9bfaa-f5b7-409e-8099-7a430b7f2913.jpeg) ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/dddc52d2-8053-4303-957f-17f9948b168a.jpeg) ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/16bbed47-ad1b-4b9f-a96c-4952987064ca.jpeg)
Where has this guy been? When my wife and I went to Disney World in 1996, we planned nothing in advance. We found ourselves waiting in massive lines for rides and spending hours waiting for tables in restaurants. We realized we screwed up and we had to do better. That was 27 years ago. Since then, we had kids and raised them to adulthood. Every trip after that we scheduled reservations in advance. Every morning we wake up, we know what park we are going to. We spend about 20 minutes every day we are there planning that day's activities, and we roll with whatever changes we encounter. I don't understand how having a plan in place in advance of your vacation somehow makes it more stressful. I've always thought it was easier to not have to wonder what we'll be doing and where we'll be going during our Disney trips. Are there really people who insist on just showing up with no plan and then blame Disney when they are stressed? Also, it seems like most of the Disney criticism I see is coming from Fox news in some form or another. Is that just my news feed, or is it an extension of the culture war that the right is trying to foment?
Title is my question. It seems like refusing to recognize other state's driver licenses would be blatantly unconstitutional. Is there something I'm missing?
I tend to at least look at every work email I receive. Likewise for Teams messages. If I see a notification of a new communication, I tend to check it and see if I need to respond. I don't always respond, but I always look at the message. In various virtual meetings, I've seen other people's notifications when they share their desktop, and it seems like some people just don't bother even looking at them. Am I the weird one? Does everyone just ignore messages they receive at work?
Running out of time...
What's your favorite Disney World Restaurant, and what is it about that restaurant that makes it your favorite? Without any deep thought, the first one that popped into my mind was Narcoossee's. The food is amazing, and there's a great view of fireworks if you're there in the evening. When my wife and I went to WDW after she graduated from school (1996, I think?), we stayed on property at the Grand Floridian. It was my first time staying in a Disney resort. We arrived too early to check in, so we went to Narcoossee's for lunch. The last time we went to WDW (2021), we took our adult children with us, and had a wonderful dinner with everyone together at Narcoossee's.
This is happening fairly often. When I click on a post title to open a post, it takes me to a different post. Seems to always be sports scores. I'm not sure if it's always the same post it takes me to. I'll have to try to remember to actually note where it's taking me. If I go back, it takes me back to where I was, and the post title indicates it has been opened, but if I tap it again, it takes me to the correct post. It's not quite predictable, and it isn't repeatable.
I saw the post about Eastern State, then I posted about the Pennsylvania Hospital Pine Building. What are the other weird or interesting things to do or see in Philadelphia that you think more people need to know about?
If you're in Philadelphia and want to do a historic tour some afternoon, there's one that I think many people are unaware of. You can tour the Pennsylvania Hospital original building. East wing was first opened in 1755, West Wing in 1796, and center in 1804. You can visit the original surgical amphitheatre, the medical library, and see the hospital's fire engine.

This morning I was driving to my son to swap vehicles when I encountered road work on Moyamensing. Blocking the only road that leads *to* his apartment. When I got back to my office, I had to check Google maps to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Just lost all my contacts in my Android phone. Galaxy S10, Android v12. Tried different contact apps, tried rebooting, tried googling (yes, Internet, I have the apps set to display all contacts). Tried restoring contacts, and it says 0 restored. They're still in Gmail, so I tried exporting them and importing them onto my phone, but the phone won't let me select the file. I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a factory reset. Any other suggestions before I bite three bullet and wipe the device?
Simple question. Which distribution was your introduction? For me, it was SLS Linux in '92-93, followed relatively naturally by Slackware, which was followed by Redhat.
