It was time in 2016. Biden barely won in 2020 and somehow Dems took that as a mandate to be even more conservative. At this point I have no idea how progressive ideas ever get implemented.

Exact same happened to Obama and the 2008 recession. Getting blamed for shit that happened before the election even took place. But Democrats refuse to play the blame game, people got to spout the lies about things being cheaper when Trump was in office unchallenged, and the Dems refused to promote solid solutions to even the most basic of core issues like antitrust, price controls, higher minimum wage, or even fucking climate change.

And now, with so many fewer people turning out to vote for Dems, even Trump’s lies about voter fraud will have been validated in the minds of the morons, who will attribute those low numbers to harsher rules stopping the fraud.

99% sure Lemmy has a higher average age than any social media other than maybe facebook

If only they’d said “what did II miss?”

The worst part is–it’s really not. These guys could all stay millionaires and we could still solve our system’s worst distribution issues. Their biggest hardship could be dealing with not being The Guy With The Biggest Number when they go to their rich guy parties.

Personally I’m in favor of making them destitute and/or imprisoning them, but going that far really isn’t strictly necessary.

This is what they mean when they say they want to protect traditional marriage

We are gathered here today to witness this union… right here? In front of everybody?

Kinda makes sense then. I dunno about “indefinite,” but making an exception for some alcohol for a visiting alcoholic would be necessary since going cold turkey can be fatal.

surprised they didn’t go with the angle where she’d now be in prison in much of the us

So what if the clock says 4:30 am? It’s the same time in that you’re working the same daylight. All removing it would do for you is change the number on your clock, but for the people who work on set schedules it would change our needing to fuck with our sleep schedules twice a year

I don’t remember anyone saying 10 was worse than 8. Maybe buggier on launch, but stylistically it worked more like 7 than 8 did

I dunno. Plenty of pro-Russian posters on Lemmy, and in this very thread. It is funny to see people arguing that Ukrainian sources should be removed since they can’t give an unbiased picture of Russian casualties, though–I’m sure Russian sources are totally unbiased, lol!

She’s wearing some kind of long glove; you can see the cutoff on her left bicep. I don’t really get it either tho

Social media is one of the central ways news organizations get information and has been for over a decade. I mean, that’s one of the central reasons Musk’s Twitter fuckups have been such a big deal! Removing a post for that is really stupid

Roll with disadvantage, the NPC is fucking pissed at your genie logic and desperately wants to kick your ass

it’s because people are misunderstanding your joke as saying “they should try not being colonialists” (pretty hard to read it as anything else tbh), and you’re misunderstanding the backlash as people shitting on dwb when it’s literally the opposite

You don’t even have to read the article. OP put it right there in the post.

the medical aid group had been removed from a register of foreign nongovernmental organizations.

Russia was getting ready to outlaw them. It would have been a danger for them to keep personnel in the country, leaving them exposed to being kidnapped and used as currency for prisoner exchanges.

There’s a chance you’re joking but I know for a fact there are people here who will take this seriously.

Incredibly poor headline to blame the school for this. They didn’t know the backstory of the body. All they knew was that the state coroner had sent it to them for educational purposes. It’s the coroner’s fault!

Not knowing anything about French law, I’m assuming if he’s regarded as mentally ill he may receive a more lenient sentence. Purely on those grounds, I hope he’s regarded as being of sound mind so he’s put away for as long as possible
