I’m pretty sure vinegar strokes is old English slang, and that would seem to align with this British online definition of it predating the appearance on The League by 2 years.

P. S. I will now have a totally different understanding of the song “Turning Japanese” everytime I hear it
This tick just keeps on giving.
Pretty much all protest rights were stripped away in the last decade state by state, mostly as a reaction to environmental and climate protestets. Liberal and Labor both supported them. Only the Greens and some of the minor parties and independents were against them.

I believe the last ones were Adelaide. But before that it was Melbourne, Sydney, etc. Its fucked and the major parties have zero desire to change the situation as it suits them.
He did win though, because by telling federal judges that their rulings against executive orders cannot be… Federal, nationwide, the supreme court took away about 99% of the (already mediocre) checks and balances against Trump’s power (and any presidents power). To pass it off as just some procedural stuff misses how impactful this is, the only court powers that can stop his kings laws by edict (‘executive orders’) now are: case by case state-based rulings for federal judges, and the supreme court itself for nationwide rulings.
This is largely what Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent: this is a huge expansion of presidential powers by the SC removing restrictions from the president, over an issue that is abundantly clearly illegal (denying birthright citizenship), and it leaves the door wide open to further illegal orders.
Her dissent is worth a read, it begins on page 54: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a884_8n59.pdf
I’d love one and have checked back each year after their first model, but they still don’t sell to Australia - and I’m not going to buy something I can’t get direct parts and services for, and would need to go through third parties for.
If their model is a successful business I honestly thought they would have expanded beyond shipping/supporting only Europe by now, its been a decade since their first model. Maybe they’re still not a very big player / modest success?
I know and I was waiting for someone to complain, even though it doesn’t affect the accuracy of the comment. You have won this bouquet of Dutch flowers: 💐
Been using it about a year. It’s great. It’s swiping support is not as accurate as alternatives, but I’ve learned to live with it for the added privacy.
Nah gotta make the question more pointed: why is your administration, in your own words, giving access to top secret Intel to low-level losers?
Its pickled, not raw. Scandinavians have been pickling fish for a very long time and it’s worked out OK so far.
It was sold to the Trumps, what do you think their plan is for it - donating it to a wildlife society?
It’s not like the news reporter has changed its fate with the terms they chose to discuss this purchase in.
“Dress for the 90s” as in temperature. 90F I guess. Because dressing for 90C would be like… Spacesuits.
Lying on an official document? Straight to jail.
Didn’t actually have any accounts? Believe it or not, straight to jail.
🤦♂️ ah jeez. I do on my PC install of Greyjay, but looks like I forgot to enable it on my phone.
P. S. Thankyou so much its working now
You’d think that, wouldn’t you - but it doesn’t succeed for me, this is what happens when I tried. I’ll keep trying alternative methods until i find one that works.
Grayjay is awesome. I haven’t figured out an easy way to send videos from Lemmy to open in Grayjay on my phone (or open directly to the app) but for now I just search the title to relocate and watch there.
Edit: I forgot to enable the Peertube plugin in Greyjay, its working now 🤦♂️
I know exactly the community you mean but I haven’t interacted with it much beyond occasional visits and upvotes. It’s sad to hear that perspective of Lemmy, because it does get rose-tinted as a bit of a leftist utopia and this is the first time I’ve seen the ugliness. I really appreciate it being shared.
As an aside, the peertube instance this is hosted on ran the vid really well. I’m impressed. Hope this trend continues, would love to wave bye to YouTube.
Kids in my daughters class did a project about ‘an issue that is important to you’. They could pick anything.
Most of the kids talked about interesting and positive fields like environmental protection/space exploitation or some sport they love to participate in. Three of the boys chose to talk about ‘men’s rights’, and according to the teacher who I spoke to about it afterwards they were echoing Andrew Tate shit.
They were 10 years old at the time.
None of their parents are divorced either, so theres no ‘woe story’ from dad in the background to put any framing around this.
However, their parents are all conservative and all let their kids access Youtube with no oversight. So social media and lax/indifferent parenting are very much grooming the next generation into hateful misogynists like Tate.
I haven’t seen any radical female content creators personally, and there certainly doesn’t seem to be a large industry of them forming. If there is they’re very well hidden and poorly advertised.
But if that happens I’d absolutely be for talking people away from listening to them.
Completely fair. When your neighbour is as untrustworthy and aggressively expansionist as the Russian government I would line the border with mines too.
