It still absolutely floors me that we’re even talking as if he’s eligible to run.

I want Skywind but in OpenMW.

I literally haven’t bought gas in a month.

I still have all my old video games, but I miss my first PC 😥

I’m a bit surprised the Christian following hasn’t gone there.

Isn’t a big part of it how the Antichrist deceives people into following him who ought to know better?

This kills the SEGA.

Seriously, the infighting and cannibalized sales between the 32X and the Saturn are a big reason why SEGA doesn’t make consoles anymore.

So like I said, hopefully she’s planning to run, just smart enough to not say it yet.

Being a Representative, she’s got an entire other election to win between now and the next Presidential election anyway.

Announcing that she plans to go for President (and would therefore be leaving the House) might attract primary challengers.

There have been softball interviews and debate for liberal/conservative/fascist candidates the corpos like. Leftist candidates, on the other hand, get a hostile treatment or get ignored entirely.

In theory, a Mastodon instance could see content from a Lemmy instance (and Pixelfed and Loops and so on) as they all use the same underlying protocol to trade information, but in practice, it seems that sites basically stick to trading with other sites in their wheelhouse.

Whenever you see somebody linking to the user they’re replying to at the beginning of their comment, you’re likely seeing somebody posting from Mastodon because their UI is user-feed-oriented instead of thread-oriented.

Apparently you’re right: the other reply cites the letter.

But still, Ben Franklin is famous for a ton of stuff, including actual published works full of quotable aphorisms like Poor Richard’s Almanack (as opposed to some random private letter that was only published after-the-fact). Meanwhile, Blackstone is remembered mainly just for Commentaries on the Laws of England, of which the Blackstone’s Ratio quote is part. Can’t we let poor old Mr. Blackstone have this one thing?!

It was £1.30 before Epstein Fury started.

Which, according to DDG search assist, equates to about $6.16 per US gallon, right in the middle of the range of prices on the grandparent commenter’s map.

In other words, Americans are indeed now paying European prices [i.e. what was normal for y’all before the price shock].

There are lots of things that seem “obvious,” but are actually wrong. The idea that you have to means-test aid to avoid “abuse” (according to some presupposed definition of “abuse” that ought to itself be debatable, BTW) may or may not be one of them, but what is definitive is that you’d have to be a moron to not even be willing to think about it first.

So let me get this straight: you think spending more money overall to provide aid to fewer people is A-OK, and yet I’m somehow the moron for wanting to save money and help more people?

That’s some hateful fucking bullshit on your part. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

the second scenario appears to be the mainstream view among democrats

Why the fuck would “the mainstream view among democrats” be even the slightest bit persuasive? Cite proof or GTFO.

My current most-used bike is a cargo e-bike I got because I wanted to be able to haul my kids to school.

But my long-time “daily-driver” bike is a circa-1991 rigid mountain bike that I got from a charity bike co-op for free (because I was a poor college student at the time), and it’s served me well for more than a decade.

I can’t figure out who said it first to cite it, but there’s a saying that goes:

There are two genders: male and political.
Two races: white and political.
Two sexual orientations: straight and political.

Well, for Roberts, there are two kinds of SCOTUS decisions: the ones he agrees with and “political.”

“Violat[ing] DRM policies” isn’t “misuse.” DRM itself is misuse of the machine owner’s property.

Anyway, you might have already foreclosed the possibility by talking about it on this Lemmy account if it can be traced back to you, but my suggestion would’ve been to release it as open source anonymously.

Really getting sick and tired of liars carrying water for the fascists by pretending their tyranny is business as usual.

Trump being in office for another year and a half has served as a stark reminder of how shitty Republicans actually are

You know what would’ve been an even better reminder? A fucking criminal trial for Jan 6 (among other crimes!), followed by conviction and imprisonment of the traitor-in-chief.

They had four whole fucking years to get it done, yet managed to fumble it in a way that can only be described as “deliberate.”
