Plenty of people probably went “fuck fast food is getting too expensive, better start cooking” and then went to the grocery store, bought less food than they expected, then they also had to motivate to cook at home.
When everyone is getting fucked so hard at the grocery, it’s easier to see why people stick to fast food if they also like the convenience.
I’ve been joking since she won her primary that she’s going to lose because even the Dems in AZ are sexists who like veterans.
The race is narrower than I would’ve expected because Harris’s right-wing heelturn fucked the down ballot races. I genuinely believe that lowered turnout in big numbers
The only messaging problem was taking the momentum of the debate and shitting on it with the right-wing heelturn the moment the Cheneys said “never Trump”.
Even with them parading the Cheneys, I could understand a close loss after a week in the courts or just SOMETHING. Instead she lost so hard, she was conceding the next day. I kinda just gotta go what the fuck?
I got such a bad sinking feeling when they pivoted so hard right, but I genuinely thought Trump talking like a fucking lunatic might actually scare enough people into action and make it a close race.
Yep, non-voters were a much bigger problem for Harris
I get you’re trying to do, but it’s almost disrespectful to say royalty is made up. Whether their grounds for ruling is still or not. Monarchies have had very, very lasting impacts on the world around us, almost never for the better. Going “Oh hahaha, look at them and their silliness” when many monarchs actively ruined countries, feels a little dismissive.
I usually just blame how autistic Lemmy is. Unironically, the amount of neurodivergent people here is huge and a common trait is focusing on the wrong fuckin details, especially with hypotheticals
Best I can do is tree-fiddy
I am, I’m still voting for the candidate I think I can help move on the issue instead of just letting the guy who will send the military against protestors win.
What should be and what is are almost never the same thing. We should keep pushing for what should be while facing the hard truths of what the reality actually is.
It really does feel like the people sitting on their hands are trying to be morally superior while the rest of us accept the dirty work and are doing what we can to not further enable genocide.
A vote isn’t a person’s whole voice. Let’s take the small victory of “not a fascist” then protest the shit out of the continued US involvement with Israel. Political action doesn’t just end with the election.
It’s not really “dirty” in the same sense but I’m a massage therapist. Don’t think it gets more literally hands-on as far as a job goes lol. I primarily do deep tissue work, I REALLY enjoy injury-focused work, so it can be a bit tiring but it’s generally pretty satisfying.
Skooch is a former LoL content creator. He’s still pretty damn funny
Or maybe they’re trying to describe the feeling it evokes and aren’t being that literal.
I swear Texas license plates are like warning signs for bad drivers
I’m from Arizona, I know this. I’m saying the mestizos who wouldn’t get pissed at being referred to as such are far less in number than you think. Most ID far more with the colonizers than the colonized
Same with a burger. Your lettuce should be dry (pat it with a paper towel if you must) and put it as the bottom layer. This creates a moisture barrier that stops your bread/bun from turning into a soggy mess.
On a sandwich, the cheese should be on the other side for the same reason. Keep all the wet stuff from turning your bread into slop.
Thank you for the correction! I always seem to misremember which Caliphate was when.
To support this counterpoint, this is exactly the headline my moron coworker would click and MAYBE get corrected in his stance on fluoridated water
