What’s the over/under that this is in Florida, and therefore makes total sense?

Should we just change our dates to be B.H. and A.H.?

Today is day 26 of the year 9 A.H.

Can we re-name months while we’re at it?

So today’s date is 26 Dicksout, 9 AH.

Harambe was born on New Year’s Day, 17 BH.

I literally think about that scene every time I order food online. I keep meaning to order pizza online and re-watch that movie just for that one scene.

Didn’t see that twist coming.

I have to say, the reason I hated the Reddit version was constant garbage posts that were simply just any image at all.

The Lemmy version is much higher quality.

I can speak some Boomer. I get this!

The day I wiped all partitions from my dual boot and started fresh with no windows on the machine was a revelation. My heart sang and my soul wept with joy. Windows lives in a caged state now, a neutered monster I rarely demand dance for me because it is ugly and awkward and on an external drive I don’t care about.

A lot of areas that seem like only pedestrian areas in Europe are still roads. Cars regularly drive on tiny streets, especially in Italy and France, nearly clipping people eating dinner.

“Oh, I hope this doesn’t awaken something inside of me…”

Some southern Slavs call tap water “technical” because it’s technically safe to drink, but definitely has a lot of stuff in it that you don’t want to drink… You complain as you chain smoke.

Or Latvia?

Greatest romance of all time.

Lol, I have two degrees in studying this, and I’m old enough to have seen the full cycle play out a few times for both sides. I’m not trolling, I’m jaded AF. And I’m taking about what either party does as a party line. Orange Bully is obviously different, but it’s an individual thing, nothing the party itself has accomplished or done.

Look, if the difference was so vast, ask yourself why Schumer and all the other 70+ year old Dems seem hellbent on laying low and doing nothing but maintain their own power? Maybe get a couple seats in 2026? That’s not resistance. That’s capitulation. Not even strategic capitulation, simply consent and wishes for crumbs. The same thing the alt-right does because TACO boy always chickens out when it comes to a “crossing the Rubicon” style move.

Political parties only exist to enrich and entrench politicians in the party. They are unions for politicians, with no benefits passed to the voters unless it first benefits the politicians. Open your eyes. If you think either party is so noble and steadfast and true, ask yourself where, in a time of need, they are.

Edit: I’m a privacy advocate, and so you have shit like this: https://lemmy.today/post/31901334. While on the other side, journalist Taylor Lorenz has repeatedly mentioned that during a social media influencer event the Biden White House held, they pushed for the idea of “unmasking internet trolls,” which by default means knowing who everyone is online. (The most recent episode of Power User mentions it again) This, the slow deterioration from a few Senators in 2017-18 trying for an internet bill of rights, down to not a bill but…principles, down to privacy as a consumer right, down to F it we need tech bro money too so scrap it all and let’s support Digital IDs now (https://www.meritalk.com/articles/congress-warms-to-digital-ids-as-fraud-privacy-concerns-grow/)

Plenty of examples of both parties having incredibly similar implementations of two different sounding policy goals. Which is fascinating to read about, but a terrifying place in which to live.

The more accurate form of the comment to which you’re reacting would be:

Can I have a free beer?

Conservatives: No

Liberals: Points to novelty sign on wall Free Beer Tomorrow winks “so you want a beer today? That’ll be $8.99”

The results aren’t exactly the same, but the gulf is not meaningful is the problem. Realistically, most people don’t actually like either party, they just dislike the other party more. If one day we had a 7 random parties just appear and Rs and Ds vanish, for a solid 20 years, political discourse would be verdant and nuanced in a way rarely seen in the US.

An Uncrustable filled to the point of being round.

Hard agree. Blood Magic is just mystical credit card debt. You have to pay a some point.

FWIW, the “meh-haow” call at them actually does work.

“OK, so, I want a Honda Civic, but for up and down instead of forwards and backwards.”

Counter-suggestion, lolcubez. Because they’re square.

Well, it’s built to use Ooga, but it’s also set up to be able to handle Booga as well. It depends on the driver set you need to load Fire and Club.
