If that were the case Trump wouldn’t have even been on the ballot.

Didn’t know about Bridgerton, googled, no shade, but category 5 titty event was grossly overselling it, cat 3 tops

It’s a health textbook, of course it’s stuck in the 1950’s

There was never going to be a clean exit from Afghanistan from the moment the US decided to try to nation build there.

People wanted blood after 9/11, and if we were honest with ourselves about who we really are as a country, after Bin Laden got away in Tora Bora we would’ve leveled Kabul and called it a day, for all the difference it ultimately ended up making. Not saying it would’ve been right, but it would’ve accomplished the exact same thing as what 20 years of occupation did, arguably with less blowback, and it could’ve been done without dragging the rest of our allies into it, but gotta keep up appearances.

Honestly, I think the left needs to lean into shit like this post. Just loudly pretend Biden is the best president ever and should be unanimously elected god-emperor of the earth for life. We can have the real adult discussion when some jurisdiction finally smacks Trump with something that’ll bar him from office (or he kicks the bucket) and enough of the boomers have died off that the Republican party can’t win purely by catering to the most deranged of them. Or at least wait until 2028 when we have Democrat primary.

I don’t think that people are dumb, but most are too distracted, tired and disengaged to see “vote as harm reduction” as meaningful motivation to vote for someone. Nuance does not make for good propaganda, and while propaganda is distasteful, it’s necessary.

Even if you’re of the opinion that the only way to effect meaningful change is through violent revolution, the far left in this country does not have and is not in a position to co-opt the infrastructure necessary to do that, nor the widespread political support.

Lady, the question was “do thongs touch you butthole?”

Please tell whoever is holding the keys that a random on the internet said to let you cum, if not for your own sake then for the rest of ours.

Fuck me I thought that you just had a browser extension that replaced CEO with “rich white” or something. What even is this world but G-d finding new way to punish me every day for not committing 41%.

Whoosh

I assume “are” got autocorrected.

They had me in the first half not gonna lie

Its disgustingly tragic and sad that there ain’t taijin on any of them fruit cups.

Disregard productivity, acquire comfy rice.

A single state is still a large market to pass up, and tooling costs make it impractical to manufacture different versions of things.

Even for software, the US experiences positive externalities of the GDPR and the rest of the US does from privacy laws in California and Illinois (likely others that I don’t know off the top of my head)

State laws also often serve as the prototype for federal ones.

It should be federal, but this is absolutely good news.

The reward for the work is the result of the work. For these communities to exists, there must be moderation and for many people the existence of said communities is worth the cost in time/server costs. Reddit selling stock off the backs of people who perform free labor for them is a problem, but someone who sets up a lemmy/mastodon/whatever to host discussion about the things that they care about is not a slave just because they don’t demand monetary compensation or sell your data. The lack of monetization isn’t a bug it’s a feature.

Everything I’ve gotten as a flatpak has been borked in one way or another. I only use it if there is literally no other option available.

I honestly didn’t notice.

I’m not the original OP, but yeah, people can be pretty awful.
