Have you thought of trying to pick up another language? Started learning Spanish 4 years ago and now I can go on vacation and have conversations with locals. Also, I'm more interested in their local history because I can read it/listen to it in Spanish and practice the language at the same time.
Also possible that there may have been multiple in the household if so many were printed and mailed out? Maybe they turned the real one in for the prize money and then kept a non-winning one in a scrap book? Memories over time are weird so they could've convinced themselves that they kept the real one
Especially in the US, where both parties are globally "right" in both political and financial aspects, a lot of time claiming to be a centrist means that you like capitalism and bombing other countries but you support LGBT causes and are pro-choice. I think, online and especially on lemmy, that the vocal left-wing voices (correctly) see this still as aiding the right but being too cowardly to admit it.
This also ties back to the MLK quote about the 'white centrist' being the biggest obstacle to his movement, because they may say the right things and appear to be helpful but take no action for the movement. By staying centrist and trying to meet in the middle, would lend credibility to the voices on the other side.
Right, isn't that the point of the question? What old time things did we do for one reason (cloven hooves) that turned out to be right for completely different reasons (health and safety)
Ok, now take it one more step. Why can't that person walk? Is it because someone broke their leg? In that case, it's not an 'exception' it's an aid. It makes the situation more equitable.
It's ok to say that a certain class is deficient. Sometimes we need to accept that. The problem is that, at this moment, the poverty class is deficient due to our capitalistic system that has oppressed them for years. They are not inherently deficient due to any fault of their own. And unfortunately, a large percentage of those are people of color due to years of systematic racism and discrimination (red lining, underfund education, food deserts, etc).
It's wrong to say that people of color are deficient because they are people of color. It's (more) correct to say that deficiencies do exist due to the current/historical structure of our society and we should start to find solutions to these issues.
Racism and insults occur when someone says "systematic racism doesn't exist so giving these people handouts is unfair to me" or "this person is deficient because they are black." We need to accept that inequality exists and do our best as a society to help overcome it.
I think this is one of the main reasons that critical race theory became such a hot button issue. This type of systematic inequality needs to be studied and understood so that reasonable, well researched solutions can be discovered. The privileged class is against it because they want to remain privileged; they want the rest of the upper/middle class to put their head in the sand and ignore that the systematic issues exist in the first place, so that fingers don't end up pointed at them and things won't ever need to change. It's easier to demonize the topic all together than to form actual arguments against equality.
I think you can still use the operators if you select "verbatim" under "search tools." On mobile, you need to scroll to the right past images/videos/news/etc
And now the PS5 doesn't even have a(n easily accessible) web browser.
You can use https://www.photopea.com/
I don't know if they have an app, but it's worked fine in-browser for me.

I get your point, but I have trouble understanding how acting in the public interest and charging over operating costs can be compatible, especially in public service areas like hospitals/medicine and education.
