Yeah but if he wins there is going to be violence. I'd rather take my chances with the violence that happens because he lost than because he's ordering people that disagree with him off into camps.

She thinks of the toys as her babies. Do they squeak? That can often trigger that reaction from female cats.

Oh no public money now has to be used to do all those things Disney paid for, leading to higher taxes. Yeah we showed them.

The only correct response, you don't bargain with terrorists. Her turning up and debating it legitimises it like it's an actual educational option and not lies.

Because they can pay kids less than minimum wage.

Cool opinion, just explain to me how say a mother of 3 that can't find or afford a sitter is supposed to vote? Or her husband who is working 2 jobs to pay rent is supposed to find time? How about the elderly that don't have a car? The handicapped? What if I have a contagious disease? I should just turn on up to a busy polling booth and spread my TB all over the place? Or am immunocompromised and could die from a cold, probably spread by that sick person that had to turn up to vote? All those people lose their right to vote because they can't get to a polling place on the one day they allow voting? You are removing their rights why?

Stay at home wife. I used to work as a bookkeeper, now dealing with some health issues. However I am 55 and have used computers since as long as i can remember, I learned how to use punch cards in what you yanks would call middle school. So I don't work in tech, but it doesn't bother me to learn new things. Lemmy reminds me of the good old days of BBS and just trying things out to see what stuck.

Yeah, they're going to have to stop saying they are "Pro Life" and claiming they worry about "the babies".

I'm leaning into the theory it's someone in power in Saudi Arabia. A member of their royal family is heavily invested in Twitter, owns shares and fronted Elon a big chunk of money for Twitter and they would surely like to crack down on social media in pretty much every middle eastern country, what with those pesky women protesting by not wearing their hijabs and protests and riots happening over there in the past decade. The first thing they do when there is trouble is shut down twitter, shutting it down permanently makes things easier for them.

Crocs. They are super comfortable and cured my foot pain. Still ugly, but I will never not own a pair as long as they keep making them.

I follow the Adam Savage school of tool buying, if you are not sure you're going to use the tool a lot buy a cheap one, by the time it finally "dies" you'll know if it's worth investing in better quality.

Is it a problem for everyone or just me? I'm getting a weird gif and the site name has been changed to left corner but the address is still the same. I do not know enough about computers or the federverse to know what is happening, I'm old enough that I came from a time when everything got hacked all the time and am just assuming it's been hacked or my account has been hacked or is the server owner having a breakdown, making a joke, or what? Because I feel like I'm missing something just because I left the house today and didn't check on Lemmy for a while.

I call that sticker the "I'm a racist and a wife beater" confessional sticker.
