Trump is 'hanging himself' with his own rope as campaign spirals out of control: analyst
  • All this negative news about trump everywhere makes me nervous. Don't forget how confident everyone was when Hillary ran. Most, including myself, didn't think trump stood a chance.

    Kamala hasn't won yet. It's still close. And trump has an unswayable cult behind him that see all this negativity as fuel to vote even harder.

    Dont get complacent or overconfident. trump could still win.

    Israeli pleads guilty to shipping US-made avionics to Russia, violating sanctions
  • The only chance to stop it is to vote Kamala and keep up pressure the next four years.

    Except for that line I generally agree with you. I'd prefer focusing on the alternative, trump, as the main reason to vote kamala. And on this topic arguably Israel wants trump to win, as he would probably be much more pro Israel and anti Palestine.

    Take a look at his family, he had kushner in his cabinet last time, known Israel supporter, and his daughter even converted to Judaism for this guy, so all the signs are there... trump would probably be very pro Israel

    Trump running mate J.D. Vance: Americans won't be influenced by a 'billionaire celebrity'
  • "We admire Taylor Swift's music but I don't think many people are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans," Vance said.

    This is just beautiful isn't it? Glorious even. I mean where was his brain when he said this? He can't be that dumb and hypocritical, can he?

    Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris
  • I'm skeptical that the kinds of people that would be swayed to vote for Kamala solely due to Taylor Swifts endorsement, are the kinds of people who see breaking news on NBC.

    It's not breaking news, which was my OP LOL. She could probably have the intended effect on tik tok and Twitter.

    But still, I don't really care, if it gets more votes against trump I'm all for it.

    It ain't breaking news though LOL. Putin launching a nuke is breaking news.

    House Speaker Johnson pulls government funding bill after GOP support collapses
  • I know it's off topic, but Mike Johnson looks like he wears a little bit of makeup and old grandmother's glasses doesn't he?

    He always looks like this, the rosy red cheeks and the same glasses always. Tell me I'm wrong.

    Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris
  • This is not "breaking news" under any circumstances.

    Glad she's supporting kamala and using her influence, but that being said the celebrity worship nonsense is silly. Not breaking news.

    Depressive symptoms in US 8th, 10th, and 12th graders
  • People jump on the bandwagon of "social media and smartphones are the problem". Most people are sockpuppets, and just repeat this without thought.

    If you mean indirectly, then maybe.

    I think the problem is late stage capitalism, the increase in exploitation and cheating just to get money, and the real and encroaching fear of fascism or fascism-lite.

    Inflation is increasing. Cost of living, housing, food and essentials are rising. Overtime culture is on the rise. Why would I be happy when the outlook for most of us is shit? I have to work long hours just to survive and there's no escape. Buy a house, go into debt for 30 years with the knowledge that the bank is getting massive amounts of free money in the form of interest, and they provide no service other than allowing you to pay an overpriced principal over thirty fucking years.

    Work until I'm 67? What's the point? It's time to die at that point as ill be too old and who gives a shit anyway. I'm supposed to be appreciative of my 3 weeks PTO per year, that's when I can go have fun and enjoy life, after that back to working unpaid overtime for a billionaire investor or CEO or whatever.

    Maybe social media and smartphones are helping the young see how shit and hopeless our society is. Unless you can figure out how to be a celebrity, or an investor, or a landlord/landowner, you're stuck working a shit job until you're old and life is gone. Why the shit fuck would people be happy and want to have kids?

    Swelling wildfires in California and Nevada force thousands to evacuate
  • Hey, did you guys hear they just discovered a whole bunch of oil in Pakistan?

    Fucking LOL dude. A morbid LOL at that.

    I was thinking the same thing when I heard about the Pakistan find. We're gonna burn every drop we can find, and do almost nothing to slow climate change until it's waaaaay too late.

    Just curious if this is the app. Using android and mullvad app. When the VPN is on I can't post. It just gives an error something like "problem posting, try again". Disabling VPN I can post fine.

    Wondering if anyone else had this problem, or it's by design, or a general lemmy thing and not the app?

    This DLC is absolutely amazing. Might even be better than the base game.

    That being said, Jori is killing me. I can't barely get him down to 50%. Using my mimic tear of course. Without giving too much info on my build, most bosses so far haven't been bad. Renalla was hardest so far but only took 5-10 tries. I want this last map and must get through Jori to get it.

    Harder than malenia imo.

    I'm over leveled- in the 450s. NG+3 or 4.

    Any recommendations on Jori?? Help!

    I'm on XSX.

    EDIT:

    > Harder than malenia imo

    I'm an idiot.

    On android, I use duckduckgo app for web searching. I've been using voyager for a few weeks now and like it. Since yesterday, every single link I click on when doing a ddg search, the "open in app" banner pops up saying it can open in voyager.

    I cant find a way to disable this. Anyone noticing the same thing, or know how to completely disable it for voyager only?

    It's annoying enough that if there's no solution I'll have to uninstall and find another lemmy app.
