That went so far over his head, I’m not sure he heard the woosh.

Only a shock to folks who still think Democrat centerists are what’s gonna win the votes

Just another reminder that the Republicans have the power to stop this ride at any time they want.

They just did this to me. How can I tell them they failed this test?

There is an ongoing attempt to create an equivalence of Trans Persons (and anyone exposing youth to LGBTQ+ ideas in any form, including loving families) to pedophiles through CONSTANT repetition, despite any lack of widespread evidence. There is also a simultaneous attempt to strongly advocate for death penalty for pedophiles. I’m sure you can see where this is heading …

Busy with day to day affairs, gotta pay rent/mortgage/medical bills, gotta feed the family, gotta keep working, can’t take risks, …

It would be amusing if the surviving family did not support this underhanded move, and spoke out about it.

It would be the point of no return for the USA, and the conclusive end to the “Pax Americana” . Invading a peaceful neighbor? Unthinkable for a “so-called” stable country. The rest of the world rally to Canada’s side, there would be an effort to ‘contain’ the further damage we could do. (Mexico would finally pay for that wall :-/ ) We would no longer be trusted, and in that vacuum of power the rest of the countries of the world would be thrown into such a frenzy to fill that power, or to align with who they think could.

Oh, Did Russia withdraw from Ukraine? Why are we ending this punishment? /s

/me pines for the days of protocol over interface. NNTP + killfiles were the bees knees. Then we could just all pick our own interface to connect to any lemmy host.

I mean, isn’t the solution pretty simple? if Russia leaves Ukraine’s territory, then Ukraine will stop shooting at Russians? The pretense Russia used to invade was entirely made up. Any concession to Russia, even an inch means that they win, and their tactics work, and they will do it again.

Forced memes don’t work either. Just ask Milhouse

Price fixing is a problem because of the power imbalance between businesses selling products, and individual consumers that need to buy them.

Worker unions are a solution to that power imbalance.

I hear ya. I know they’re not all old, and I know they are not all weird. I’m just amused that it seems that such a trite + petty label is finally rankling their jimmies because all the other labels that stunningly apply to a lot of the conservatives in office don’t seem to bother them in the least. As if … they already knew about the other ones. The MAGA conservatives waste no time slinging all sorts of generalized labels, thinking that it makes them seem stronger, but in reality, it’s just … weird.

Because they’re old, and weird.

Amoral? “Thou shall not bear false witness …” That’s one of the big ten list …

It’s not the Muslims, it’s the evil Christians. Same problem, but different names.

The Germans have Russians. :-/

And before anyone says we’re snowflakes and can’t take a joke – he’s not joking. This was not a joke. Vote accordingly, and be warned, you do NOT want to be living in a dictatorship.

I worry too – if this gets any significant uptake, what’s stopping Reddit from shutting off the spigot? Given their reasons for turning the screws on API and other policy changes, they may not take kindly to having “their” content re-posted elsewhere, let alone to a system designed specifically to escape reddit.
