That sounds like it’s up to the insurance company. But, again, there is nothing in the way of being an emotional support animal that would compel it to be covered by insurance, so I wouldn’t get your hopes up for it being covered. A service animal may be a different story.

No, there is no way. That will be entirely up to the airline. They treat non-service animals as pets, with all the rules and regulations that apply. There’s nothing that obligates them to treat an emotional support animal any differently than any other pet.

I did a little digging into that horse story. It seems it may actually have been a trained service animal and not just an ESA. But in either case, the DOT has since updated its rules to exclude miniature horses from being allowed on airplanes.

Then I guess I’m unclear what you hope to accomplish if you already know there will be no legal privileges or protections. You could draw up your own certification and frame it, Brownie won’t know the difference.

Emotional support animals do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. There is no process or organization to make him an “official” emotional support animal, though there are many companies that will gladly sell you a badge, certificate, or harness.

“Vigilance, Mr. Worf. That is the price we have to continually pay.”

They’ve fallen back to “well it doesn’t matter anyway because elections will be canceled.”

You could also look at it as a 25% reduction as a result of continuing peaceful protest and increasing unpopularity.

Stay on their necks.

But I also fuck them as hard as they let me. And in my city and state, which have very strong tenants’ rights protections, my fucking goes a long way.

I dunno man. When we moved into our apartment we got a new water heater, new washer/dryer, new kitchen sink, and HVAC repaired within the first couple weeks. We’ve gotten multiple smaller things fixed as well including exterior tuck pointing to fix a leak.

Sometimes I lament not owning, but that would have all been out of pocket if we had bought a property as is with those issues. Didn’t cost us a dime.

Don’t forget “The Measure of a Man” and “A Matter of Perspective”

Nothing ever loaded. Most of the time it would timeout, best case scenario it took a good 30-60 seconds to load a single comments section. Tried on several different clients and it was always the same for that instance.

New-ish (I joined during the reddit hooplah a while back) and my experience has been hit or miss.

I’m on my third instance. First I joined lem.ee and that got shut down. Then I joined midwest.social because I thought hey I’m a Midwest leftist, but that instance has been slow as shit and never loads for me. Tried on multiple lemmy clients with the same result. So now here I am on lemmy.world.

Federation is a good concept but I don’t think it will ever catch on on a large scale. It’s just too user-unfriendly.

Then my apologies if I misinterpreted you. I’m just sick of doomers using “all is lost” as an excuse to sit on their asses and refuse to take any action, and as a politically active individual it really rustles my jimmies.

You said it yourself. The peaceful protests in Minnesota have continued. They had elections and voted blue, despite the city crawling with ICE and other federal agents.

Continue protesting, calling your reps, and voting. In Minnesota they said “we will crawl over broken glass to vote against the GOP” and they put their money where their mouths were.

And through this all they’ve given a blueprint to blue cities and states across the country

Stop capitulating in advance because it’s the easy way out. Have some agency.

Nationwide martial law is never happening in this country.

“Martial law” is the leftist version of the Rapture. It’s never happening, and every time it doesn’t the goalposts just move to the future again.

Elections in this country have literally never been free and open. Voter suppression has always happened. Don’t let it discourage you from acting or make you believe that we can’t still win, because history has shown us that it isn’t true.

Haunted Chocolatier is coming. Might be a little while but I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait.

With HC on the way and with SDV continuing to get updates, I doubt we’ll see a SDV2. Would make more sense just to keep adding content. Eric has said he still has lots of ideas for the game and plans to add more updates in the future.

Also, if you’re playing on desktop, look into Stardew Valley Expanded. Tons of new stuff: content, characters, maps, you name it!

I’ve bought this game 3 times and I’ll buy it again for another platform if I get one.

After years of playing and hundreds of hours across various farms, I’m finally going for perfection! I was trying to hit it by Grandpa’s Evaluation at the start of year 3 but I don’t think that’s gonna happen haha.

However, that takes away my time constraint, and as much as I love planning crunching and grinding in SDV it’s nice to kick back and go at a relaxed pace.

Of course they will. It’s called voter suppression, and it’s been happening in this country since we’ve been a country. Welcome to America.

Grow up and take charge of your future. No one’s coming to save you but yourself.

We’re talking about elections, which decide who is on power to decide whether those other things you brought up are allowed to happen.

If you want to give up your agency, roll over and show your belly, and comply in advance, then fine. Don’t vote. I will be both voting and working the polls in November.
