Are you sure? Based on their argument, I'd say "Mathematical Literacy" is the only priority we should have right now.

Of those 125 "killed by a gun", 91 of the "victims" pulled the trigger themselves. There's about 34 gun murders per day in the US.

If you're looking for a population where one person is murdered daily, you need to start with about 10,440,000 people.

The problem isn't that people are killing themselves. The problem is desperation. For far too many in our dystopian society, death is the brightest hope that some will ever see. The solution to gun suicide is unfucking this massive shitstained clusterfuck, not depriving the desperate of their 9mm retirement plans.

The point being that math is hard, and doesn't care about feelings?

If I did the math right, for one person to be shot per day, we're starting with a population of 10,440,000, not 400.

In a population of 400 people, 1 person is shot every day? So, by the end of one year, the population is down to 35 people?

If we extrapolate to the US population, we end up with 900,000 people murdered per day, or about 330 million people per year. That doesn't seem quite right.

Reviews are one of the things that online storefront platforms consider in their algorithms. More reviews means their algorithm pushes my listings in front of a few more faces, and I get to make a little more money.

I don't ask for reviews myself. The people who do are trying to game their platform's algorithms.

This can get very far out of whack if you’re using a lot of water outdoors (filling up a swimming pool, watering your garden, washing your car, pressure washing for outdoor cleanup, etc).

For the pool you can generally inform the water/sewer department(s) of that and request an exemption. They'll usually use your average water consumption as your sewer bill for that month.

For ongoing usage that doesn't enter the sewer, such as irrigation, you can often request a second meter be installed, for which sewage isn't billed.

I'm pro-abortion with few limited exceptions.

If you're under 30 in today's society, statistically, you are not economically prepared to adequately provide for a child. Choosing to have a child before 30 is tantamount to neglect, both of that child and of any future children you may decide to have.

All children deserve to be planned and prepared for. Finding yourself unexpectedly pregnant, the only reasonable decision is abortion.

Looked like an assisted suicide to me.

A contradiction in terms.

Based on the current state of some countries and attacks of certain minorities, including Latinos and Trans people in the USA, it isn't safe to post certain views on Lemmy when the Tor Browser is not allowed, including not being allowed for registration.

If you need Tor to post something on Lemmy, you shouldn't be posting that thing on lemmy. Posting on Lemmy fundamentally defeats the purpose of Tor.

Tor does not increase the safety of Lemmy. Lemmy destroys any degree of privacy provided by Tor.
