We have those, they work pretty well.
Mama told me not to come.
She said, that ain’t the way to have fun.

Yup, that would be how I’d play it. But she kinda sucks on policy, so maybe it would hurt instead.
When looking at 2020 candidates, she was literally my least favorite, and Biden wasn’t far behind her.
I just watched this on Audit the Audit, so good on this guy for following up. The video was incredibly obvious that the cop was in the wrong. Basically, the video went like this:
The first may have been retaliatory (not clear, cop may have been able to defend it as a welfare stop), but the second absolutely was retaliatory and blatantly illegal. I’m surprised the award was only $175k and nothing more happened because it was a clear violation of Greg’s constitutional rights, which have been clearly defined through case law to include criticism of the police.
Screw this cop and the entire department that allows this nonsense. This was also on Christmas, which makes it so much worse…
“I was disrespectful,” Bombard conceded of that cold day in 2018. “I don’t think I should have been arrested for it, though.”
Disrespect is protected speech and has been enshrined in case law, and police are expected (again, in case law) to be held to a higher standard than the average citizen. So middle fingers and profanity are absolutely protected speech, just don’t commit any actual crimes while expressing yourself because the police will look for a way to arrest you if you’re doing that. And there are a lot of technicalities (e.g. when you need to identify yourself, what constitutes a “lawful order,” and what “disturbing the peace” means). So if you’re driving, drive the speed limit, keep your plates updated, etc if you plan to give police the bird.
Yes, both sides suck. One side sucking more than the other doesn’t change that.
Biden is awful on policy, and I dislike much of what he “got done” in his 4-years of office. And I actually voted for him in 2020. I voted for him for three reasons:
This year, “not Trump” is still true, but that doesn’t change the fact that Biden still sucks on policies I care about. His website just says “defeat Trump.” Here he is on “the issues”:
And comparing them on the issues:
So I guess Biden wins a slight edge here by being less terrible than Trump, actually trying something, and not messing things up too bad. But I disagree with pretty much every policy proposal he has.
Here are my priorities:
Neither candidate seems to have a plan for any of that, they are either silent or opposite. So that’s why I consider both to suck, they suck on the issues I care about, and they’re decent on issues I care much less about.
So yes, both sides are pretty much the same to me, and since I live in a very red state, it won’t matter if I vote for the less crappy option. So I’ll be voting third party instead, since I do have options that align with my priorities.
Which is probably for the best because I think they’re both pretty awful on policy.
That’s really sad to say though. I wish people care more about issues and policy, and I wish candidates actually cared about and fulfilled their campaign promises. But that’s apparently not the reality I get to live in…
“I give [Trump] a lot of credit for doing this debate on the terms that were effectively set by Biden,” Ramaswamy said of Trump, noting the debate is “hosted by CNN, in Atlanta, without a live audience.”
Those terms, he said, “would be the equivalent of Joe Biden agreeing to do a Fox News-hosted debate, in Alabama, with 3,000 live audience members.”
Uh, what? How is the lack of a studio audience an advantage for Biden? And how is that similar to a 3000 person audience elsewhere?
Somehow it’s even less than how little I care about what Trump or Biden have to say. I’m just going to watch for the drama, I’ve seen them both in office so I’m not expecting any campaign promises that they’ll actually keep…
That’s fine. If he loses this round, I doubt he’ll run again, and if he does, the RNC is unlikely to support him again. I want him to lose so it’s clear that his ideas are not wanted.
Please no. I want him to lose with a massive gap, like 40% Trump, 50% Biden, 10% RFK/random third parties. I want him disgraced…
This doesn’t bode well for a 2008 part 2… Home owners will be forced to rent, driving prices up even further…
Yup, and Family Feud filming is moving to the White House.
I wouldn’t say “infinitely,” Biden is only relevant because Trump is so bad…
I’ve considered it, yeah. There aren’t many posts, and I’ve been thinking of posting a bunch there to get it more popular.
Or maybe I’ll make a new, related community with a little broader appeal, idk. I find avoiding lemmy.ml is usually more enjoyable.
Here’s what I do:
I really haven’t had any issues on the two I mod, but they’re pretty small communities. And honestly, at Lemmy’s scale, if you’re feeling the need to use tools, you’re probably moderating too strictly, or you’re moderating a massive community.
We have something like this in our kitchen, I’m thinking of moving it to the bathroom:
I tell my SO when I’m proud of my work in the bathroom (once a week or so). It’s been >10 years and they haven’t thrown me out, so I don’t see any reason to stop. I’d hang this.
Find a crappier store.
