Yup, exactly. That’s the question that actually matters. Tons of Republicans were very vocally against Trump in 2016 too, but fell in line as soon as he was named their official candidate. The Republican Party is great at unifying around candidates and messaging when it counts (probably one of their only legitimate strengths.)

God, if only we actually had our own country…

Why does she look exactly like McLovin in a wig in this picture?

Russia… Their campaign interference has been targeted to rile up both the far right and the far left. And of course the beauty–if you can call it that–of all their psyops bullshit is that it convinces real people to push these talking points and carry on the momentum organically.

By very wary of any so-called leftists who are so dogmatic they refuse to understand that plugging your nose and voting for Biden is the option to prevent a terrifying loss to the progressive agenda. They are either accelerationists like the other poster said or are spouting Russian talking points (regardless of if they’re a real person or not.)

Is this one of those things where you just assume everyone in a red state supports it an deserves it? You do realize there are massive voter suppression campaigns and gerrymandering problems in these areas, right? But I guess fuck them they asked for it.

Haha. At my partner’s job, IT had to send out an email clarifying some message from a VP wasn’t phishing because so many people reported it for being suspicious lol.

We used to do that in my old tiny apartment until one of us forgot and turned the oven on.

Really, you think so? Trump strikes me as a person who ultimately doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself when backed into a corner.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I want to see them in jail, too, but I think just about any negative repercussions to his own life would hurt him more than seeing his kids suffer consequences. Push comes to shove, I can see him throwing those kids under a bus, even Ivanka.

Yeah, I saw his name in the headline and thought for sure it was because he’d finally died. Putin is probably scared that killing him at this point will turn him into a martyr and galvanize his base, especially with the disastrous war in Ukraine already help shift public opinion.

Yikes, pretty mean to call her an idiot. Seems like a high probability she was suffering from an eating disorder and/or other mental health issues. Most people don’t starve themselves to death out of stupidity.

I looked this up because I thought Catholics traditionally leaned heavily democratic. According to wikipedia, that was the case into the 60s. The past few decades they’ve split fairly evenly between democrats and republicans, so I don’t think that alone i’s too much of a driving factor.

It seems pretty clear the friend is in an abusive relationship, so it really isn’t that simple. The comment you’re replying to literally described how their friend felt unsafe taking any action, especially with her child living there, so I think that’s your answer.

Excuse you, I’m 34.

At work I’ve been thrust into a support function for some random system (I’m in analytics) and one of the roles I work with is fairly entry level, so lots of younger folk. I have been floored by some of the basic-ass shit I’ve walked them through. (Like explaining that you can copy and paste the url into a browser if the link isn’t clickable for whatever reason. Also had to clarify what url meant–is this not a common term anymore?) I had just assumed that because they’re younger and grew up with the internet, they’d smoke the hell out of me. But I guess interfaces are so streamlined these days many got away with never having to learn basic troubleshooting the same way I did as a millennial.

That’s only for president. Naturalized citizens can run for all other public office positions.

Oh man, I have something sort of similar going on. My company apparently appends a disclaimer at the end of our emails sent externally but doesn’t show up on our end at all. I noticed when re-reading an email chain with my quoted reply and there was a huge block of text… in Spanish. I’m not sure if I’m even supposed to have a disclaimer at all (could be on by default for everyone) but certainly not in Spanish since I don’t speak it. Such an odd thing and also leaves me wondering did someone fat finger something or what the hell happened? It feels especially weird because my last name is Spanish origin and people do frequently mistake me for being Latina (I’m Filipino lol.) Even if I did speak Spanish though, all of my business is within the US so it wouldn’t make sense to have the disclaimer exclusively in Spanish.

Mine won’t change sort views at all, just stuck on all: most comments. Haven’t tried interacting with it otherwise because I can’t get past the same posts I’ve seen a million times.

Yeah, I was thinking who’s to say what “normal” size even is? In hindsight, it was awkward as hell taking calls on my tiny nokia brick. Personally, I think we’ve hit a sweet spot between functionality and size practicality. I’m happy with my 6" screen as long as women’s clothes continue on the trend of indulging us with functional pockets.

I’ve got about a billion issues with capitalism, but I’m not sure how you think something like this should work otherwise? Product design/development/manufacturing takes a bunch of resources, so it doesn’t make sense in any model to make things people generally don’t want.
