I wonder if he meant ol’ Ben Kenobi
This 1million%
Also grew up being promised that any day now, 1) Bill Clinton will take all the guns, and 2) We’ll go to FEMA camps to get gassed. It was all part of the UN Agenda 21 thing that George HW Bush/Clintons/Soros/CNN/Bill Gates and the New World Order One-World-Government are bringing.
Except none of that ever happened. Hm…were those guests on Art Bell in 1998 possibly…wrong?
And yet, 30 years later, here we are.
I doubt this to the point I would bet money against it if I could.
Did you not see that a proposal to amend the constitution for 3 terms was ACTUALLY proposed by a Congressperson from TN?
It might also be that out of 97 million daily active users, if 1/10th of 1% are attention-seeking crazies, that’s 97,000 people over-sharing at absurd levels.
Depends on what you do with the cities. The Central Valley doesn’t want to be its own state.
The State of Jefferson would have started this process, but WWII got in the way. Except that was all predicated on being super racist.
I think if you get a legit Cal3 proposal, you might end up with a Cal4 where they pull from the six-state version where “Silicon Valley” is its own state shows up so that there can be some technopolis with custom laws and insane cost of living. Essentially, turning SFO into another Manhattan.
I would never move back to CA as it is, but if there was a breakup, I might actually go for it.
Depending on who built the house, it’s the standard for a “good” house in Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia and I think Kenya.
Swearing in Greece and across most of the whole region is hilarious. The actual “I don’t care”/“zero fucks given” phrase is to write something on your balls or dick.
So many sayings are mother/whore/balls/dick based - not offensive phrases, just common sayings.
But it has to be something from the inside by a Russian, and he’s not naive to that fact.
Same. There’s a few that I can tolerate for 20 minutes a day. It’s more about the niche subs that benefit from a wide range of people that have collected over the years. I love Lemmy, but even the large communities are a niche in a niche.
Depends on if you’re a MAGA faithful or not. Because those are the folks that expect now that their votes mean nothing to him, to somehow still be important.
If Paul Krugman and Rashida Talib ever liked this idea as a workaround for GOP obstructionism, then there’s not a high likelihood of it happening once the new Congress is in office on Jan 3.
The only drawback is that the inauguration would still go on, with all the people working it unpaid and the price of everything doubled once it’s finally tallied up months later. So it would make his special day MORE special in some ways.
Is now a good time to remember that the unregulated supplements market is a huge base of GOP funding?
It’s been happening for a few months, my theory was that in the runup to the election it was their only idea for CYA about bots, and it just so happens to mean they’re using facial recognition scanning to catalog the real humans on their platform.
There’s a lot of people in the center that feel alienated by all the vocal lunatics on the far ends of both sides.
Not that multi-party democracy is a fix on its own, but coalition governments can sometimes do a better job representing people than “round up to L or R or GTFO”
