Maybe it's because I'm a naturalized U.S. citizen, but when people threaten to withhold their vote in protest I can't help but wonder what the actual fuck they think they're accomplishing by a) demoting themselves into non-citizen status and b) announcing their asinine decision
I told y'all, cops don't do what you think they do.🤷🏿♂️
Black folk know this from lived experience. Some white folk only learn this when they go to report a theft or sexual assault and find out that the $11B/year NYPD are not equipped to handle that.
Blocking somebody? Baller move. You’re in charge of your account. You decide who has access to you.
Telling someone, “I’m blocking you for that!” immediately before blocking them? Baby move. Your dysfunctional obsession with getting the last word in is showing.
I just discovered that one can register to vote when filing the California tax forms.
California has a qualitatively different voting policy than those retrograde states. Here one can vote during a period of weeks, postage is free on mail ballots, you can register and vote (provisionally) at the same time, you can drop a ballot at any precinct in the state, there are mobile voting centers that will come to you, and there is a state law that promotes voting by every person who is eligible to vote.
And you can bring food and water to people waiting to vote.
When all the unhoused people in the United States are moved into camps, go visit them and explain through the fence that you didn’t vote because of Gaza.
Just remember, when you say you won't vote for Joe Biden, nothing bad happens to Joe Biden. He retires, goes home to his family, and lives his life in peace.
What happens to your Muslim/Hindu/Sikh/Jain/Buddhist/Wiccan/Pagan neighbours? They're fucked. What happens to your LGBTQ friends? They're fucked too. What happens to poor people? The disabled? The elderly? Babies? Kids? BIPOC folks? Women?
Nate, #Trump almost murdered #Biden during a #debate last cycle by rolling up on the stage as a biological weapon. Norms and traditions went out the window long ago.
Nate Silver:
You're supposed to be the candidate who stands up for norms and traditions and now you're ducking this tradition?
"The President will not be participating in the Commission of Presidential Debates' announced debates."
There are many things about git submodules that are more unpleasant than they should be but one of the most frustrating is that you have to decide early whether to add the submodules as git+ssh URLs or https urls. If you pick ssh URLs, your Windows users using GUIs will not be able to check out the submodules. Whereas if you pick https URLs, your Mac and Linux users using the command line will not be able to check out the submodules. Once you have picked one of these choices, you can't change it
Here is a product called "Veggie Love" from an establishment named "Leaf Doner". Tell me if there is anything that stands out as unusual to you about it
@anilmc@curiousgawker for normal people evil in the leftist sense means not just making perfect be the enemy of good, but helping good to lose to perfect. They're evil because they just can't seem to grok "good enough" and would rather the world burn than have "good enough".
This is less evil than right wingers who want to light the world on fire themselves, but it's still pretty bad.
With Haley beating #DeSantis by 10 points in #Florida, the belligerent gnome's humiliation is now complete. Literally couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Just accidentally read a whole mess of replies to a couple bad posts, in agreement with/filling in the thesis of the bad posts, and hoo boy there are some bad takes on here
"research suggests there is “considerable self-doubt” among LC patients, with many people questioning if they should get medical care or have the condition at all.
That may be in part because media coverage tends to showcase a specific type of patient—someone who is very sick, potentially to the point of being bed-bound, and battling extreme fatigue & brain fog—so people with milder or more unusual symptoms aren’t sure whether their illness counts as LC"
