Probably remasters or remakes. They don't want to compete with themselves.

There's an entire website dedicated to relating each passage in the bible about the antichrist to trump. I don't remember what the site was, but a quick google search should get the result.

This could probably be used to check for authentic game cartridges. I'm not going to be licking used games to find out if they're real, though.

Yeah, there's lots of places with rampant toxicity. I was just comparing reddit and lemmy, and I consider the Federated nature of lemmy to help prevent (not necessarily stop) toxicity from growing.

I'm not an expert on this whole Federated thing, but to me, it sounds like if one community is having problems with another, they can just disassociate and not have to deal with it anymore.

True, but Reddit had the right conditions for toxicity to grow and begin to run rampant. Lemmy, with its decentralized nature, should limit the spread of any toxic communities.

We have a big maple in our yard and more through the neighborhood. The sound of wind running through their leaves is very calming.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what is turning (and has been turning) the US into a shithole country.

But my Maga coworker just told me she wants to make everything more expensive! Now I don't know who to believe; you both sound equally sensible. /s

Employers and workers together are spending close to $20,000 for family health insurance coverage in 2018, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation report.

Companies pick up most of the tab, shelling out $14,100 a year, on average. Still, workers have to pay an average of $5,550, up 65% from a decade ago.

For single coverage, total premiums have reached $6,900, on average, up 47% from 2008. Workers contribute roughly $1,200 a year.

Headline is misleading; most of the cost is being paid by employers, and the $20k number is for the coverage of a full family. Most people on single-person coverage are paying $1,200 a year for their insurance, with the employer paying the larger portion of the bill.

The article almost makes it sound like we should be sorry for big corporations eating the cost of having employees.

Not to defent the corporate dystopia, but usually to qualify for whatever kind of insurance these companies have, they are required by the insurance company to drug test. At least, that's how it is at the company I work for. If they don't drug test, the company is held liable for anything the employee does, and insurance won't cover it.

She wants to fill your farmland with trees! Useless trees! No more taters or pipe weed! Good luck digging a new burrow with all those roots. Speaking of roots, did you hear about the Ents? All they do is destroy our towns, ripping our dams apart so they can drink all our water. Horrible, horrible creatures, and they will tread all over your flower gardens if you let this self-centered "elf queen" have her way!

Sarcasm tag isn't necessary. Those who benefit from it see these as legitimate questions.
