All those people dying violently really stole that poor clown’s thunder.

No, let’s. The wealthy have been quietly waging class war on the rest of us for decades. If we do it out in the open I feel much better about our chances.
I realized I’d successfully gotten old when I was told ankle socks were out of style and didn’t give a shit.
The aftermath of the governor meeting will be a signal. If we get a statement from them of widespread support for Biden to stay in, it means he’s holding on. If we get radio silence, I’d say that’s a strong indicator you’re right.
So glad I’m not a ginger so I can consume them it without it being weird.
You guys are alright. Don’t go to 5th Avenue tomorrow.
It didn’t all happen in 2016. Fascists have been quietly diminishing the power of the electorate for decades now. We’ll keep on having “the most important election of our lifetimes” until we manage to undo the damage. IF we manage to undo the damage.
To be fair, I’d be less inclined to wish death on them if they’d just retire after reasonable tenures.
Basic human decency is a debilitating handicap in US politics.
I’m concerned about the less rotted corpse employing living humans. Sounds like nepotism to me.
Republicans have hammered on the “liberal bias” point for decades so that they can claim victimhood anytime they’re subject to the slightest scrutiny. The whole of the media has to treat them with kid gloves or take a hit in the ratings, which is basically illegal due to fiduciary laws.
The whole political ecosystem of the US, not just government itself but the press and lobbying, just isn’t built to handle the epidemic of bad-faith actors (mostly corporatist and on the right) we have today. Lobbying used to mean interest groups educating elected officials so they could make informed decisions, now it’s just legalized bribery.
Hearing “Trump is a threat to democracy” from Democrat leadership has started to make me seethe. They think it’s a one-way responsibility: we the voters are obligated to show up to vote for whoever they put in front of us, but they feel no responsibility to switch to a better candidate.
He didn’t have to edit in defined abs, but he went above and beyond the call.
When I accidentally spilled some (unheated) chicken broth on my dog the other day, I hoped it might teach her a lesson about being in the kitchen when I’m preparing food. It did not.
This’ll probably be an “agree to disagree,” but I think most websites do make good faith efforts to lower bot usage. Not because I trust them or anything, but because the perception that bot spam is out of control is bad for their bottom line. It drives away real users and high bot activity makes advertisers disinclined to trust that the high traffic is of any value.
You’ll trip balls so hard survival isn’t guaranteed.
The tragic thing, though, is that if lemmy ever “takes off”, there’s nothing about it that will make it any more resistant to bots and trolls.
It’s kinda like back when Macs had no viruses, because nobody bothered.
Then your choices are to come home and be slaughtered for the sustenance of the empire, or defect and be slaughtered for the sustenance of their empire.
Can’t forget the nice red uniforms.
Textbook thug mentality. “I’m gonna take your shit, if you do anything about it then you’re forcing me to get violent.”
