There was a free speech fight in the courts about the right for women two wear swimsuits, many of them bikinis, while serving coffee in the Seattle area. Since then the popularized alliterative term 'bikini barista' has stuck to refer to all servers that sell hot drinks while in swimwear.

Why would that be the case? Nuclear missile silos are concentrated in the north central United States specifically to give them more time to fire before detection and landfall of incoming ICBMs.

Re: the source, of interest: mediabiasfactcheck.com/ynetnews/

In general, it’s useful to understand the bias of the news sources you read. But bias is not the same thing as credibility.

Since this is not a service you provide to all articles you read, this is a pretty ghoulish comment in this context.

It looks like Kbin shows upvotes from every instance, but only shows downvotes of Kbin users. I found a post that had 3 Kbin downvotes listed out of 16

I downvote anything with Jordan Peterson’s name in a positive or neutral context, just to be safe before watching. I’ve reversed my vote. You’re okay OP.

BTW, JayPee fans please downvote me too. Your disapproval nourishes me.

It would be nice is Lemmy would let you see what instances downvotes were coming from.
