The repubs complain about the border, a border bill comes up. Republicans refuse to pass it.

Yeah Putin doesn’t have much time left on this earth. I think he is going to ruin it for the rest of us on his way out.

How so?

Ouch. What did I ever do to you?

Super sad. This is serials bed let them live with their choices. No more money, weapons, or support. The US is complacent with genocide happening in Palestine.

All we want to hear from you madam vice president is that you will no longer fund these animals.

Didn’t feel sad. This is honestly pretty perfect. You both felt platonic and can now remain friends. I think you approached things with style and grace and you get an A+.

You can be friends with your ex but being alone with her or asking her out on dates is going to have to be a no go. Right now your focus should be on improving yourself and dating someone new. Once you meet someone you like you will realize that everything is for the better and you can move on.

This is really solid advice here. Unfortunately most people are not able to follow this thinking. Sometimes you find someone but they change later. This usually happens when you get together at a younger age. The person you were with at 22 is totally different than the person they are at 30. Sometimes you “jump the gun” and get pregnant or get someone pregnant before you really get to know them. This happens when it’s been less than a few years and you haven’t experienced all the different emotions and feelings that happen with life and shit going wrong. How a person is when life is good is not a reflection of how they will behave when life turns sour.

My suggestion for people is to just wait. Wait before getting married. Wait before having kids. And wait before buying a house or other large purchases together. It took me to almost 40 and 5ish serious relationships and many not so serious relationships before finding my wife.

Super stoked, and everything I am reading and seeing of him only makes me more excited.

In California when you do mail in ballots you get a notification that your ballot has arrived (and will be counted). I believe you can also opt to bring your mail in ballot and vote “normal” as well.

I (American) spent about a month in the Philippines and traveled around a bunch by scooter on the main island. I don’t recall having to use something special to recharge my phone or my battery bank.

It’s an amazing country with amazing people. You are in for a treat. The language is kind of complex for me but luckily a lot speak really good English and I had no problems communicating. Finding vegetarian food was the most difficult part during my stay.

Why don’t you just emulate it. I can run ps2 games on a potato.

Yeah this was such a bait and switch tactic on Sonys part. I remember a few years after they stopped producing backwards compatible models getting in arguments with people who still thought the ps3 could play ps2 games. Yes the first model (and maybe more) could but then they took the chips out to do it in order to save money. Really lame Sony. I had a friend even buy one without realizing this till he was trying to play his old games

Hey, that’s ex-redditor to you.

I’ll take the downvotes. It’s both obviously. PayPal is dope and still going strong, Tesla single handedly made the electric car viable, spaceX brought reusable rockets a thing and internet connectivity to rural communities (me included).

I used to be a fanboy but now loathe the guy. It’s ok to hate but don’t downplay his contribution to society.

Russia doesn’t need to do much, if anything; the dnc is on it.

Unfortunately that burning is going to cause the loss of unfathomable amounts of lives, mostly historically marginalized communities, including women. Probably especially women.

What I said wasn’t zesty at all. The only thing I can think of is someone went to all my comments and reported me. I’ve been temp banned from communities before but never banned from Reddit and would never expect to get permanently banned from Reddit the site along with my other Reddit accounts.

Hi I’m new here. My friend has been trying to get me in for ages. The reason I am here is because my Reddit account of 10 years and one of 3 years got permabanned. And it was really for no reason. I tried to make a new account and that also got instantly permabanned. That’s when I found out that my 10year account also got banned. So yeah fuck what happened on Reddit.

I’m really liking lemmy and my iOS app (mlem) and enjoying the community. The only thing I miss from Reddit is the video integration.

It’s super hard to quit but I’ll tell you what helped me. I got altoids and every time I wanted a smoke I’d eat a mint. If I still wanted a smoke I’d eat another mint. At break I’d go out with all the smokers and I’d eat a mint. Driving home I’d eat a mint. It took a few containers of mints but I eventually got sick of mints (and cigarettes). After I quit I would still try taking a drag off a random cigarette and I absolutely hated it. Not sure if I rewired my brain or what but I was able to stay off the smokes. Good luck. You got this.

Pro tip: take your smoke money and save it in another account or a piggy bank or whatever. You will be blown away about how much your addiction was costing you.
