If your heartburn lasts more than 24 hours, please, please, PLEASE go see a doctor.
I did not. I fought unrelenting heartburn for 5 days. In fairness, it did start 3 days after Thanksgiving, and I DID have the extra plate of sweet potatoes. Antacids did nothing, Pepto did nothing.
On the 5th day, the burning pain moved into my upper arms, which I did not know was a thing, and in the center of my chest it felt like I had a chunk of rock, pulling down on all my innards.
Advice nurse sent me to the ER, ER used a simple blood test to confirm the heart attack, but by day 5 the damage was done and the only fix was full blown open heart surgery.
Doc explained the heavy feeling was my heart only pumping out 30% of what it should be, and that’s right on the line of walking around, talking to people and no longer walking around, talking to people.
You get access to a queue of reported posts and comments, decide how to deal with each one, and mark them resolved.
You also have the ability to feature posts in the community, lock them from getting comments, and ban users temporarily or permanently.
Taking away 74 reliable Democratic electoral college votes would permanently throw the US to the Republicans.
Texas (40) and Florida (30) would steamroller New York (28) and Illinois (19).
Here we thought the election would be the high water mark! ;)
It kinda makes sense because unless you want a lawsuit thrown out, you have to show real damages.
I’d say this damage isn’t “real”, but that’s on the court to decide.

Common pattern in these events.
Look at the Uvalde shooter:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uvalde_school_shooting
“Ramos’ social media acquaintances said he openly abused and killed animals such as cats and would livestream the abuse on Yubo.[128] Other social media acquaintances said that he would also livestream himself on Yubo threatening to kidnap and rape girls who used the app, as well as threatening to commit a school shooting.[127] Ramos’ account was reported to Yubo, but no action was taken.[127][129]”
Or the Parkland shooter:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolas_Cruz
"Sheriff Scott Israel said that his office received 23 calls about Cruz during the previous decade. CNN used a public records request to obtain a sheriff’s office log, which showed that from 2008 to 2017, at least 45 calls were made in reference to Cruz, his brother, or the family home combined.[43][44] On February 5, 2016, the calls included an anonymous tip that Cruz had threatened to shoot up the school, and a tip on November 30, 2017, that he might be a “school shooter in the making” and that he collected knives and guns. On September 23, 2016, a peer counselor notified the school resource officer of his suicide attempt and intent to buy a gun, and the school indicated it would do a “threat assessment”.[45][46][47]
In September 2016, three people—a sheriff’s deputy who worked as a resource officer at Stoneman Douglas, and two of the school’s counselors—stated that Cruz should be committed for mental evaluation.[48][49]
On September 24, 2017, a person with the username “nikolas cruz” posted a comment to a YouTube video that read, “Im [sic] going to be a professional school shooter.” The person who uploaded the video to YouTube reported the comment to the FBI. According to agent Robert Lasky, the agency conducted database reviews but was unable to track down the individual who made the threatening comment.[50][51]
On January 5, 2018, less than two months before the shooting, the FBI received a tip on its Public Access Line from a person who was close to Cruz. On February 16, two days after the shooting, the agency released a statement that detailed this information. According to the statement, “The caller provided information about Cruz’s gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting.” After conducting an investigation, the FBI said the tip line did not follow protocol when the information was not forwarded to the Miami Field Office, where investigative steps would have been taken.[52][53] The FBI opened a probe into the tip line’s operations.[54]"
Speaking of Cruz’s brother…

Yet another Israeli war crime…
Internal us news is not “World”.
Yeah, Vermin Supreme also ran a Presidential Campaign, but I would call his health issues “Politics”. See !news@lemmy.world
The Republicans have majorities in both the House and Senate, they don’t need the Democrats to do anything other than lose again in '26.
Definitely, they’re currently at the start of a death spiral… People move to renewable energy, so they raise rates, causing more people to move to renewable energy.
It’s not a tenable plan for much longer. Same plan as for cable television.
People cut the cord, which causes rates to go up for existing customers, which causes more people to cut the cord.
There was a study a while back asking Republican House members how they defined “middle class”.
$450,000.

Keep that in mind when you hear people throwing around “middle class tax cuts”.

My daughter in law is from Myanmar so I really should learn Burmese one of these days, unfortunately I’m not finding a lot of local resources on that language. :(
