Donald coming after Nancy Reagan's title belt.

Honestly, if Trump did this it would completely change my view of him. Jokingly gnawing on a baby turkey leg is a very human thing to do, and I just could never see Trump doing it.

I would prefer it that way. Government funded religious indoctrination makes me nervous.

No worries that you fucked things up! If you could just get your shit together, that would be great! Thanks so much for making me have to follow up with you to accomplish the very basics of your job!

When I'm annoyed, the salutation gets dropped. That way they know shit is getting real.

I was surprised to learn that Nixon carried the electoral college 520 votes to 17. Looking back now, obviously Nixon was a deeply unpopular president, so I was shocked learning that he was elected in one of the biggest landslide victories the US had ever seen.

Honestly, it is all about sex punishment. In the conservative mind, getting pregnant is a consequence of sex - and if you need an abortion, then you shouldn't have had sex. It's that simple to them.

They don't think in terms of medical problems or grey areas. Just: had sex, got pregnant, deal with the consequences.

Yeah but in cases like this, it was forced death.

Yeah that's basically what Harris did during the debate. It was great!

Barely. It's almost impossible to fact check against the gish gallop technique, because Trump just spits out a dozen lies a minute.

Can I get a sanity check here? This came up last night. If I'm picking up a dozen wings at Wingstop, is a tip expected? If so, how much?

When I used to make pizzas back in college, tips were for delivery drivers. So I never tip if I'm walking into a fast food place and picking up food. Am I being a dick?

The thing that sucks is that it's so effective. It literally lead to Biden dropping out of the race. Trump spewed a bunch of bullshit really fast in their debate and Biden just froze up because it was so much.

I liked how Kamala handled it in their debate by basically saying "Look, I told you this guy was going to spout a bunch of nonsense." You've gotta call out the technique when you see it.

 
 

Cross posting this from https://sh.itjust.works/post/25548740

There's an issue with posts not showing as read on newer instances of Lemmy.

 

I've been using Sync for Lemmy for a year or so, but very recently (within the last day or so) links have stopped showing as read when I click on them and then go back. I tested this with a lemmy.world account and don't have the same problem.

I saw a post saying sh.itjust.works was updating to Lemmy v19.5 a few days ago. I'm wondering if maybe it caused a problem or if it's just me having this issue.

Thanks

 
 
 
 
 
 

...and it isn't Denver. Has that ever happened before?
