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.

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

Mexicans are native? The descendants of Spanish colonizers?

Arizona, figure the context being the US would at least make that an easy search but guess not.

Then sometimes you’re like me, living in AZ, not even on a VPN, being told “You Texans should be asking for ID” and just wondering how the fuck that’s happening

There are electors for every senate seat. This gives disproportionate power to the small pop. states (which go R most of the time) so Dems are basically always working with a ~30 vote deficit in the electoral college.

The senate is an undemocratic institution meant to protect the wealth. Abolish the senate.

A narcissist’s dream

Nah, Iran just had an easier time stealing from Trump’s camp. If Biden accepted the info, it definitely would’ve become public knowledge and Trump would’ve been non-stop talking about it.

It’s all bait trying to get the Dems to fuck themselves

From the sounds of witness reports, it was either 1 message setting off a 5-10 second timer, or it was 2 messages in a similar spacing. It was designed to get someone to look at the pager before it blew up in their face. Apparently doctors have been dealing with it blinding shit tons of people.

The people calling for it want him to resign as I’mSenator. It’s not really resigning if they just pick a new VP nominee

I forget that the US exists outside time and space. As long as 90% of Europe has some prized tomato-based dish, I will laugh at the ideas of foods having a “place”.

Food is a cornerstone of culture and one thing that will always be true is that culture is an ever changing landscape rather than some strict index thats easily sorted.

The player said the same thing

I’m all for paying $80-$100 a game IF, REALLY BIG IF, LIKE REALLY FUCKING BIG IF, they’re as good or better than Baldur’s Gate 3. I like his ideas about how this has to happen if we want to eliminate predatory microtransactions, crappy “ultimate” editions, and all that shit.

I fully suspect that we won’t see the full effect BG3 has had for a few years. Games take too long to make for that to not be the case.

Look at all the comments from people who didn’t read the article and automatically assume this headline accurately describes the situation!

He got himself lost despite his coworkers telling him he was going the wrong way.

In School Suspension

Ahhh ISS. The truest of punishments. We had to help the janitors as part of ISS. Good luck catching up on missed schoolwork at home despite being in school all day, all while watching your friends have fun while you empty the next trash can.
