These captchas are getting ridiculous
These should be illegal. It's just a way of outsourcing AI training to the general public for free.

Dems gonna Dem
If that's meant to be the DNC, okay.
If that's meant to be people who made an argument for coalition politics and not straight up forfeiting an election to the worst presidential candidate anyone could find lying around to stuff into a diaper and a suit and put behind a podium.. that's not really the same thing.
Gavin Newsom is not, at the moment, running for president. He's not sitting opposite some extreme right-winger serving as a disappointing but necessary defensive line between us and things getting much worse. He's an asshole who happens to be a Democrat and is the current governor of a state where he's actively making things worse. He, like Harris, would clearly be leaning toward the right to try to win center votes.
The reasonable strategic move to make for anyone who wants the government in the US to shift to the left is to make it clear that while his humiliating Trump is useful, he is not a viable candidate. Supporting him now would be backing a lame horse that's literally still in the stable during a time where we should be finding the healthiest, fastest horse we possibly can. That is not the same as if he were in an election right now and were the only way to prevent a Trump from getting into office.
I'm trans. I hope Newsom falls off a cliff. But if he had been running against Trump instead of Harris I would have held my nose and checked the box, because strategy isn't about throwing a fit until you get the scenario you want, it's about doing what you can with the hand you've got.
Right now what we can do is toss his ass away and draw another card from the deck before we end up being forced to play him.

This just makes me think of Captain Planet. He knew how to solve these sorts of issues. By beating up assholes and making them stop.

Absolutely. It's just getting more obvious as the tasks get more complex.

There are definitely exceptions. All of the comics mentioned here are people who peaked a decade or more ago, and most of them are extremely out of touch. There are a lot of more contemporary comics who are doing a great job. I don't see Josh Johnson or Ashley Gavin or Gianmarco Soresi or like the people on Dropout showing up to something like this. There's a whole generation of great comics, a lot of them coming out of UCB, who are funnier, wittier, and wiser than any of these clowns.

It's much more effective to fracture a group by pretending to be part of it than by leveling criticism from the outside.

Lemmy is not a good space for women or a women's community.
Lemmy definitely feels like it's declined a lot over the past year across the board. Every thread is a fight. I see a lot of Reddit style combative comments all over the place and I'm just less and less enthusiastic to be using it. I've tried a handful of instances, including places like Beehaw, and even there the level of hostility I see is absolutely unhinged.

What makes you say the dock isn't designed to carry equipment?

Am I the only person who likes removal of evil races?
I like it. With the current rise of popularized fascist politics and extreme polarization, I feel like anything that leans toward nuance rather than essentialism is probably a good thing. The change to species also makes it a lot less awkward listening to D&D players talk about the game without saying things that come off as incredibly racist to anyone who doesn't know the context.

What? I asked what makes you certain that the dock isn't designed for it. If you're certain, presumably you have a reason for this certainty and already know the specs from looking at it. I can't see into your mind to know your motivation for making this assertion, which is why I asked.
I assume you have some expertise that makes this obvious to you, so would you like to share it?

Anon likes trains
Trains not planes is a much more reasonable and practical way to get people behind building more railways than planes not cars. We can talk planes not cars once some of the initial infrastructure is in place, but I think focusing on replacing something people hate (flying) rather than replacing something they like (driving) is probably a good place to start.

Important question
Where the hell are the Cajun fries?
8, 5, 4, 2, 1, 7, 3, 6
Adding Cajun seasoning to 4, 2, 1, or 7 would raise it above the other 3 and make me unsure about whether to raise it above 5.

I have a reasonable sized freezer, not a huge one, but I feel like if I put a bag of ice in it I'd have very little space. Ice cube trays will leave you with more room.

Trump Spotted After Widespread And Giddy Speculation He Is Secretly Dead Or Dying

This is the 2019 image. It's even in the url.
I managed to find a video from a different angle that Fox released, but you can't really see his face. When he stops to talk, someone moves directly between his face and the camera, which then focuses on her face while zooming, and she stays still until he moves again. When half of his head is visible above the car, the camera doesn't refocus and you can't really make his face out, so it literally could just be anyone.

Not to say it certainly isn't him, but it's not exactly substantial proof.
