This is pretty much the answer everywhere. So this post must be targeting c suite folks... on Lemmy.

Wait she did? Wow I have a lot to learn about Taylor Swift. Okay I would have definitely deserved to lose that bet.

Bookmarked

Yeah I actually thought she wouldn't ever officially do it unless it was being timed and pre planned to occur just after the debate in order to have maximum impact. Which - I would guess that it was. Not that it's a bad thing.

Anyway I didn't think she would because I'm certain she lost some fans tonight - deciding to step into this race in such a major way. And the cynic in me thought she was more interested in money and wouldn't risk her image. I'm glad I was wrong.

How are people like you still both-sides-ing for upvotes when one of those two parties is filled with literal fascists and Nazis and the other just forgave billions of dollars worth of student debt? Wake the fuck up. Your false equivalence only serves to help the fascists. Unless, of course, that is your goal?

So... civil war?

Specifically during the Bush administration. How could he?

I tell this to people who want to move to Phoenix. Damn asphalt practically glows in the dark it's so damn hot.

My esp32 vibrator-toothbrush is up on GitHub. Might take it down later, idk.

Schadenfreude is a shit consolation prize.

I mean, I'll take it, but it's still shit.

You'll also notice, in that Solo Stove abomination of a state, a distinct lack of cyclists. Because for huge chunks of the year, it's way, way too hot outside to walk or ride a bike the incredible distances necessary to go anywhere.

Hang on - in your analogy, the 17 year old kid is the battered wife and the black strangers - miles away and across state lines - are his abusers? Suggesting the kid was somehow a victim here? Like he spent his whole life being tortured by his abusive spouse (black strangers)?

da fuq?

The cloth masks were supposed to be a simple thing society could all agree to do for a while until better, medically proven masks were readily available. While they probably provide a benefit by reducing transmission, even if only by a small amount, they certainly don't hurt. This was all that was available at a time of overflowing hospitals, supply shortages, and rapidly increasing infection rates.

Republicans, a club of mostly white guys who have publicly declared themselves the nemesis of science, immediately embraced obviously false claims arriving in their AOL email inboxes that the masks were actually harmful and that by wearing them, they were endorsing an impending government takeover by a new world order run by black antifa Jews... or some shit, I mean Jesus fuck you guys will believe anything. So anyway, those same Republicans loudly shouted "oppression" and to this day they won't stop talking about it even though the rest of the world can't stop thinking about just how batshit crazy these people went in the early days of the pandemic.

Entire international medical community : "While we really prefer if you would just stay home for a bit and cut down on social gatherings, we know you're still going to go out. But if you could please at least wear this. It's cheap, readily available, and we're desperate to do anything to slow this thing down. We think they probably help in certain circumstances like if you're infected but don't know it yet. If we all work together and exercise basic precau..."

Republicans: "This is literal slavery. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm late to church."

It's staring right at the camera between a jumble of compressed jpeg artifacts.

The fuck you just say to me?

I don't know if I would even notice someone was missing a toenail unless it was pointed out to me. Hope you're not self conscious about it

That was pretty awesome. I don't have any context, but seeing plain clothed civilians shout "get the fuck out of here you fucking Nazis" to a bunch of masked and hooded assholes in full military fatigues brings a smile to my face.

It's just trucks all the way down

I'd be interested to see what Republican policies have done to the US tourism industry. I know it's taking a hit, but how much I'm not sure. I know I wouldn't come here by choice.

It's Ohio. What infrastructure?
