I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but this never happened when I was in middle school and high school in the 90s. If someone couldn’t afford the school lunch they had a free lunch program where kids would just go up to the counter and get a sandwich and a juice. No one ever said anything to the kids who got the free lunch because it’s lunch lol everyone’s gotta eat!

Making someone wear a wristband because they couldn’t afford lunch just seems needlessly cruel

Yeah I don’t see how this is news. He’s repeatedly called soldiers “losers” and “suckers”, he’s ditched appearances where he was supposed to be honoring fallen soldiers, and that business recently at the Arlington cemetery just really hammered home the fact that he has no respect for them in any way whatsoever.

This seems more like the nephew wants to cash in on 15 minutes of fame by just agreeing with things we all already knew… but he is a Trump so I guess it’s not that surprising lol

I suspect a lot of people on here don’t like the idea of monetizing Lemmy since that kind of defeats the whole purpose of Lemmy. It sounds more like something people would do on Reddit or Instagram

So… Basically turning your Lemmy account into a half-assed Patreon then? Pass.

Greenwood is exactly where I was headed lol this is on 178

I don’t know anything about any studies on it, but I have heard caffeine can make a sore throat worse. A nice herbal tea with honey and lemon would probably work a lot better.

The bar has been set so low at this point that anyone under 65 who is not a literal Nazi would seem spry and progressive lol

Note that everyone mentioned in the article only regretted their statements once they realized the kid was disabled… Maybe just don’t make fun of people’s kids in general? Is that so difficult? WTF do his kids have to do with his political campaign???

I guarantee you that Donald Trump has no idea what cryptocurrency is and someone just convinced him that it’s a way to magically produce money with no consequences

Well, so far there are already unsettling rumors about his sexual attraction towards couch cushions and dolphins… That is pretty weird

I would disagree. I’d say maybe like 50% of the people I’ve met who identify as Christians actually believe in any of it. Probably something like 30% have no belief at all and just say they’re Christians because they think everyone else is also Christian and they’re terrified of anyone thinking they’re “weird”. The last 20% seem to actively despise Christianity and would prefer if it didn’t exist at all, but they’ll tell people they are Christians to manipulate them into doing their dirty work. These people would literally say anything if it got them more power. That 20% are mostly politicians or cult leaders or BOTH.

This is one of many reasons I stopped being a Christian sometime in the mid 90s lol

Fake Christians don’t believe in anything except money and power and use Christianity as a way to get the people they plan to harm to follow them willingly

“what the hell’s the point of a diamond if no slaves died to get it and it costs less than a starter home? Now that any one of you disgusting peasants can own one its WORTHLESS!!!”

-some asshole who works for DeBeers presumably

It’s terrible that they had to deal with so much hate… But do they not realize they’re supporting the hate party? Like it’s literally 95% white fake Christians who hate anyone who isn’t a white fake Christian…

They’re supporting a party that wants nothing less than to see their entire race and religion erased from the earth, what did they think was going to happen?

There were other entrances to Narnia besides the wardrobe! The wardrobe was just in that one book! 🤓

It looks like a portal to Narnia lol

It’s literally in the article my source is right there. The only person trolling at this point is you. There is literally nothing I can quote here that isn’t in the article, so copying and pasting it for you serves no purpose. I am done arguing with you about it, so I am blocking you now.

Have a nice day

Dude, it literally says it in the article in the post. If you can’t be bothered to read it that’s not my problem. I’m not going to go through and post quotes and links to an article that the post has already provided. It’s not difficult, just click the link in the post

You read the same article I did buddy, I don’t have any other information. If you disagree with my assessment of it that’s fine, I’m not going to sit here and copy/paste the whole article for you though.

Yes. It says it quite clearly in the article above. That’s where I read it.
