Chaperoned a trip to a science museum recently and you can feel the shyness/weariness of the little girls to show their excitement. The boys run around doing the fuck they want bc "boys will be boys" as usual.
The marginalized groups were always marginalized. By definition they can only become not marginalized (e.g. women voting, repealing Jim Crowe, marriage equality).
What are you doing each day when you're not on your keyboard? The party represents the constituents. People are naive to the zero sum game stakes at hand. So they vote themselves into DNC positions. They're just people. Like you and me.
No. I live near a lot of them. I hate you offline too. So do my friends and colleagues. Believe me.
There are more Musk fan douchebags IRL than Lemmy, yes. That doesn't mean you're not a fucking loser supporting a neo Nazi who scams the government for my tax payer dollars. You knowingly bought a truck designed to kill humans instead of crumpling. You're trash big dog.
Have you considered people like me aren't flipping you off as overtly as the loser fanboys approach you?
If I see you on the road, I 100% will cut you off, not let you in, skip ahead at stop signs, slow down so you get red light tickets.
Next time that happens, consider whether it's bc what you're driving, not the other person's habits.
Never thought I'd root for big auto to take point on electric vehicles, but anything is better than supporting that dick bag.
Not bootlicking, just reading the letter of the law. I read this more as "don't be a total dick about it" so I'd love to hear a contract attorney's take on this.
Dems lose? We all lose. You people seem to forget you're fucking everyone. Your feelings don't matter, outcomes do. If you know Trump wins in this scenario, and you know there may be no more free elections, how does this "force the Dems to learn for next time?" Braindead ideological bullshit. You're a fucking cult.
Wow I didn't consider this at all. When I consider my own gun ownership and acquiring a pistol or rifle, I've literally never thought, "but what if I start itching to use it." I'm more concerned with "where the fuck would I keep this away from little hands, with ammo locked somewhere else, in a practical way to go grab it all and assemble between hearing an intruder and interfacing with them.. okay, this is dumb. I'm not getting guns"
Think about how you transform behind the wheel. This morning, at the buzzer for school dropoff. Three of us at stop sign fighting to go through first to grab street parking.. all end up parking together bc we're in the same community at the same school.. the woman who angrily gestured at me for doing nothing wrong... Same friend who's kid I carpooled in the morning last week. She probably had no idea it was me. And I don't feel any differently about her bc I get it.

I wasn't saying the latter but that's an interesting idea. Not the former per se- the cis heteronormative gender and sexuality binary is bullshit and only exists bc religion (capitalism.. moar serfs in fields) and generations of fear. There's tons of fluidity in earlier civilizations and more in nature.
I'd just like to hear some comments from all the downvoters. Odd thing to get so defensive about Lemmy

Looks like it's also out of date, not even OS version "compatible" on Play Store. Can probably find on fdroid... So it works well for you? Mind sharing what device or OS version you're on?
You didn't forget to feel satisfied the moment you completed the Amazon order, feeling no sense of joy whatsoever by the time it arrives and you're back to your overwhelming life of failure at mundanity?
Lol I don't think the sides are the same in any way shape or form for the reasons you mention and more. I'll vote the hell out of a full DNC ballot any day any time. I'm lucky to be in SF where even within the mainstream party, local and state offer progressive options, so I haven't had to vote third party much over the years.
My point was the above comment was like "I'm not gonna do this thing" "okay, so I'm doing this thing" "and now my point is proven bc I didn't do the thing"
Have you seen the Rick James couch skit on Chappelle? It's like that.
Why always with the French. They waited for us to go first anyhoo. Let's take back the I word from them and those Redcoats, I mean hats... I'm rocking stars and stripes and remembering 76! This our goddamn America, and they can hate our freedoms all they want, but this is the US motherfuckin A!

ITT nobody who's ever been to central booking without food and water for a week bc they give you rotten warm bologna and cheese and milk with a single toilet in the middle of a room with 800 guys. Ivy kids can afford to pay to fix their problems. Boohoo
Appreciate your comment. I'm the first to point out using an irrelevant post as a soapbox to distract from other news. I'm pointing out the difference in response from the online community over the past two years.
It bugs me when people say "the thing is is that" (if you listen for it, you'll start hearing it... or maybe that's something that people only do in my area.) ("What the thing is is that..." is fine. But "the thing is is that..." bugs me.)...
Ummm.. staying home not voting against Trump, is welcoming his election. You flip flopped on this comment from acknowledging the difference but in the end throw your hands up offering, "but that won't happen anyway, they'll vote Biden" .. I don't think they will, and staying home to do so is a .5 vote for red team. It's just the math of elections. Staying home with your vote is still not casting it for the not evil orange dictator
