This is a worry and problem I’ve never had and don’t really understand. One of the joys of social media (including the fediverse) is that you’re judged by what you say and who you are, not what you look like. As a lifelong fat slob and general ugly person, I appreciate that.
I welcome anyone bright enough to chat intelligently, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, gender, religion, disability, age, etc.
Hockey has been dead to me since the NHL made this announcement.
It is folly to cover Scalise — or most republicans — in this way, as if what they’re doing is normal.
There are things going on that are less important than which monstrous Republican is Speaker of the House and which office Nancy Pelosi’s desk is in, but Republicans are fucking the world over in many, many far more important ways.
Jamie Dimon is a wealthy old fart who never worked a day in his plush lazy life. What he says interests me less than analyzing my neighbor’s dog’s poop as its eaten by bugs.
Then it has to be better.
And maybe some time before he dies, let Zayn Al-Abidin Muhammad Husayn out of this American dungeon.
Seconded. I’ve thought the Pope’s knowledge and support for Nazi Germany and the Holocaust was common knowledge. Feels like something I’ve known for thirty years, at least.
Maybe I just have a knack for the extremely obvious.
Whoa. That totally Keanues me. I had thought of the lack of infinite scrolling as a bug, a feature I’d hoped was in development, but this srsly rejiggers my ears and everything in between.
I already spend too much time online, so … I’m with @dessalines@lemmy.ml — no infinite scrolling, please.
Seems clever and feasible to me. I suppose you’d need background checks on the passenger-couriers, but after that small hurdle, unless it’s an urgent package like a pizza, transit riders could get anything across any city in an hour or so.
Where do I sign up?
Everywhere I go I’m usually the oldest person in the room, and I’ve been hearing that line since long before I’d ever heard of Donald Trump.
Always, the left has to support whatever bland middle-of-the-road candidate the Democrats put forward, candidates who seem idea-free and utterly without passion, because the Republicans have a terrifying candidate. Gotta take boring over terrifying.
And Bernie’s right. I ain’t arguing.
Sure is a bucket of swill we’re always forced to drink from, though.
“You are viewing this from Firefox on Windows.”
I should worry that this info is exposed?
There’s a lot of smarts in what you’re saying, thanks.
I don’t have any science to cite, but I’ve certainly known LOTS of people who attend church more for the socializing than any spiritual reason.
Hell, I’m basically anti-social, but give me a ‘club’ to attend once weekly and listen to a mini TED-talk and then chat with like-minded people afterwards, and I might be there.
What utter bullshit. The Catholic Church is one of the richest entities on this planet, but we’ll let them pretend their San Francisco branch is a separate entity, so the church can get away with centuries of kiddie-diddling and continue kiddie-diddling until the Rapture.
I couldn’t stay on Discord even long enough to be treated like shit. It has such an unintuitive and clumsy interface, at least for an old fart like me.
I am grumpy today and also tired of Twilight Zone memes, but this one made me larff. :) Thanks
“It’s a racism crisis,” my pimply ass. Don’t white and Asian Muslims read the same Koran?
Kinda pointless pretending logic is involved, when dealing with the indoctrinated.
If that’s true, mega congratulations. I don’t know much about the way things are in the UK.
If someone said that about my U S of A, though, I’d chuckle.
How utterly ordinary and predictable. The only thing unusual is, such deals usually don’t make headlines.
This is why we’re doomed.
It was probably never true, but for many years I foolishly thought that ‘bankruptcy’ meant ‘going out of business.’ That’s what it means if a mom-and-pop restaurant or shop declares bankruptcy. When companies get ginormous, though, they never go away. Rite Aid will ‘reorganize’ itself with fresh investors, and it’ll still be a shitty drug store long after everyone reading this is dead.
