there was a story here recently about a lot of scamming happening on truth social. so yeah.

i remember that post, was actually hoping to find it again as there had been some great recommendations! glad you mentioned it here.

i would absolutely try this.

i eat a LOT of kraut, probably five days a week. also enjoy sardines and mayo on toast with capers. followed by kraut, which pairs well with the salty capered dregs left in the sardine tin.

i sent it to my teenagers. i see what they're up to.

yeah, honestly f this thread. i went from smiling to wondering why i bothered to even look at lemmy today. ☹️

there's gotta be something nice to look at instead!

ut = hook 'em, a&m = gig 'em

this makes me irrationally angry. who thought this was a clever idea?!

the domestic oil industry employs more than a couple hundred people. and i don't think most people are ready to support a policy that sounds like "i want to take your job, the jobs of your friends and family, and destroy your town." they aren't going to vote to support progressive climate policy unless there is a solution to their very real concerns.

edit for clarification - i don't think most of the people employed in that industry or in communities it supports are ready, etc.

Regenbogen

he's a parent.

probably after 9/11, but i already had questions as a kid connected to the cold war.

i would add tomatoanus for speedruns. really appreciate that he makes a point to remind people to be kind to themselves.

no, but i noticed water faucet handles all outside of tubs and showers

it's satire.

i don't mind the humor, because good lord it's so damn depressing otherwise.

edit - just saw the news, my comment is moot, i suppose.

let me try this another way. i don't agree with the statement that a is currently causing b, because i don't see a happening. b has some other cause.

i don't think pushing for Biden is leading to a Trump win, because i don't see many people pushing for Biden. i see a lot of people (social media, talking heads, news outlets) complaining about Biden.

if Dems and progressives want to defeat Trump, well, you coulda fooled me because that's not what their behavior accomplishes. it looks like a great many are weakening and undermining our current path to success. right now, with no compelling alternative, that means a Trump win.

as far as i can tell, we can support Biden or continue to shoot at our own feet in a panic which only makes the opposition stronger.

because we don't beat dumbfuck if people don't get out to vote. for all their asshattery, republicans get one thing right - they tow the party line when it counts. by contrast, dems have been projecting increasing hysteria and doubt over the last several weeks. how does that motivate anyone?

i think AOC cares about results. the results aren't going to be good if dems don't get it together and vote for Biden or whichever politician gets the nomination. doesn't even matter at this point who it is.
