This is a continuation of decades of usurping power from the legislative to centralizing under executive that illustrates why both US political parties entail right wing politics.

whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.comto B Movie Bonanza@lemmy.world•Meg 2: The Trench (2023)English4·18 hours agoRecently watched both and I have to agree. Same for deep blue sea, pretty fun, cheesy monster shark movie followed by a series of cheaply produced movies that are hard to stay interested in for the whole run time following in the tradition of jaws.

whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you justify buying something you want but don’t need?2·1 day agoI find cultivating some creative outlet and hobbies provides a resilience against my desire to ride the hype on the latest thing/tech/game/book/etc. Also using lists, waiting for sales, and spending more money where I spend most of my time.
Looks like someone wrote a pretty recent dissertation on the subject
The Downside of Wealth: Toward a Psychopathology of Money Accumulation, Noah Laracy. The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, 2017
For a summary of a summary wealthy people have better health and quality of life, which shouldn’t surprise anyone due to the food, housing, access to healthcare, etc security money buys currently, and when controlling for age (comparing like aged individuals instead of only looking at wealth) paranoia increases with wealth.

Modern I don’t think there’s much I can recommend, even the subscription based games have stores attached now & few or no in game events run by GMs
whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Videos@lemmy.world•Sabine Hossenfelder Has Started Openly Defending Proven Grifters11·2 days agoWhen she started she was a pop science channel, relaying new physics research to a general audience. Apparently that wasn’t enough and she dove head first down the conspiracy theory and pseudoscience slide to ad revenue and clicks, abandoning all reason and peer review standards.
Are they still considered professional doctors if they are willing to do harm to their patients by ignoring the latest scientific research on patient care because it makes them feel icky?
whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•A judge has barred Washington from enforcing a state law that would have required Churches to report child abuse. The judge says the law infringed on freedom of religion12·4 days agohttps://apnews.com/article/sex-abuse-catholic-church-mormon-5d78129a2fe666159a22ce71323f6da3
Multiple religious organizations established abuse hotlines, which publicly appears to be an effort to address the higher than average child SA criminals within their clergy/employees.
But they are actually getting used to establish a loophole so if they report it to clergy using the hotline they want to use religious protected speech (like confession), or if they report it to a lawyer they want it to be attorney client privilege speech. Then they always have a clergy or lawyer answer the hotline and never report the crime to anyone outside their organization ignoring local laws.

Fully charged 25.5hr ago & pretty heavy use yesterday and I’m at 63%, the 5 would have been twice dead by now.
