I don’t love love plumbing but I’ll do it 30 hrs a week if it needs doing and I dont have to worry about my basic needs not getting met (especially when I get too old or injured to keep plumbing)
most shitty jobs aren’t that shitty if you take away the profit motive and treat people with a little dignity.
is it? dem mayors ratfucking rent control, police defunding/reform. Plus dem governor caving to corporate pressure and carving out the mayo clinic from democratic hospital staffing boards, and both mayors and governors vetoing rideshare minimum wages iirc.
they got some good stuff passed but wasted the political capital to go significantly further
to be clear, twitter is bad, but not because it tells people when biden is lying without giving Hank enough Details and Context. I mean ffs this all happened ages ago and I could have told you exactly what he spent the whole video researching and whinging about how complicated it was. It’s not that complicated.
“The shitshow that is supporting Israel during its accelerating genocide, I won’t defend all that much. But the overall attempt to paint him as the same as the average Democrat is dead wrong.”...
holy shit lol we’ve gotten to the point where the ardent Biden defenders defend him by claiming he’s not like other democrats. Not even “he’s one of the good ones” let alone “he’s a good democrat”, they openly admit that the dems are just bad but somehow biden is actually good?
Incredible mental gymnastics. What little he’s done has been a direct result of circumstances almost completely outside his control, he hasn’t pushed the envelope at all, if anything he’s held it back where possible
that’s true, he’s older and more racist than the average democrat. More of a rapist too. Really just worse in all dimensions
Any modern true-believer democrat (maybe actually gives a shit about lgbt people, abortion, labor rights, etc. or is at least better at paying them lip service) could have leveraged the circumstances of the last several years to do a lot more good than biden has done. And they still would have deserved a lot of criticism and done a lot of things I don’t agree with.
a goal also isn’t even the same thing as having a concrete, achievable, worked-out plan. And even if there was a great plan, running for president again and risking a trump win/resurgent right in 4 more years even if not, would undermine the feasibility of implementing said plan
its hard to imagine the top minds at beehaw and lemmy.world pulling together enough resources and organization to reimplement lemmy from scratch, but I do think it’s a non-zero chance they get it to work. All because they couldn’t hang it in rust and can’t stand dealing with commies
So my teeth used to be heavily crowded and impossible to floss, plus as a teen I had very serious depression and executive dysfunction.

I mean I won’t go so far as to say she has no valid needs/concerns here, but like, they’re on different levels. One could have severe health complications if their vigilance slips, the other wants to eat indoors at restaurants and host parties. I get that there are serious legitimate social needs people have, but I don’t think these are equally important.
The only remotely “unreasonable” thing they mention on his side is “wearing a mask outdoors when nobody is around”, which doesn’t affect anyone but himself or prevent any socializing… You can’t just “compromise” on infection-prevention measures, because you don’t get half as sick if you get covid from dining in at a restaurant when it’s not very busy vs when it’s busy, you just get sick either way and risk major complications. And the fact that it’s being published in a national publication definitely makes it feel worse, to me anyhow.
I hoped it was clear that wasn’t what I was saying. Of course mental health issues can be a serious health concern with serious complications and consequences. But this writer doesn’t present it in those terms, and I would say that at least in this specific case, she isn’t experiencing anything with a risk of severe health issues. She wants a return to a normalcy that she knows he can’t give without severe risk of harm.
The campaign isn’t leaderless, it was organized in large part by the people at Listen to Michigan, who explicitly say “We hold Biden’s margin for victory”, and “Biden must earn our vote through a dramatic change in policy.” (emphasis mine).

I mean. True, but also people with the means are already leaving. Many will manage to leave before getting swept up in this, though if they went for full mobilization they could certainly restrain many more from leaving after that point. The idea of Israel as a place where jews from all over the world immigrate to is already not looking nearly as appealing as it did 6 months ago, if they start restraining people from leaving and pressing them into military service I think it’ll be dead for a generation. (assuming isntreal even survives that long). I guess this guy is betting they wouldn’t dare. Perhaps wrongly.

Jesus. Not gonna lie that game should have been canceled. You cannot safely have a football game in an open-air stadium when it’s -4F out and windy. this is literally just the most predictable thing in the world. Even if you were sitting there in your heated jacket and big gloves and geared up to the hilt, sitting stationary in those temps is gonna get cold as fuck over the course of a game. especially since sitting in a chair compresses the insulation of your jacket/snow pants/etc
I’m kinda shocked they go there on birthright. You’d think they’d steer people better. And knowing this, I’m shocked anyone who goes on birthright doesn’t come back with misgivings about the occupation
