The fact that in some instances the legal system does work according to the invocation of a magic phrase makes it so much harder to deal with the delusions of sovcits. The right to remain silent should be just that. You don’t have to say “I’m invoking my right to free speech” every time before opening your mouth for it to count.

TIL two people can’t do the same thing.

Oh, did this start January 20th? That’s probably news to Gazans.

Dude must smell like the inside of a vet’s office.

The finance class seems unhappy the US credit rating went down.

I grew up drinking unfluoridated water (my family still has no access to municipal water) and have had dental problems all my life. Probably not the only reason, but I’m sure it didn’t help. These kids are in for literal and financial pain.

I imagine a solution could be the same one from Web 1.0: webrings. Find one site on one and you’ve found a lot more interesting, curated ones as well.

Thanks for admitting you read nothing but the headline.

“Gender transition procedures are the lobotomy of our generation,” Crenshaw said.

They should study whatever social media algorithm this freak is addicted to if they want to actually learn something about lobotomies in the modern day.

Consider using Tesseract so you can have drop down menu access to archive sites for post links.

At any point while typing this comment you could have realized you were talking about an 11 year old child killed in a genocide and instead simply stopped. In fact, it’s not too late to delete it!

Someone is very mad all their posts kept getting naughty notes!

I always wonder if the people silently downvoting helpful comments like that know their downvotes are technically public, like anything you post on lemmy, if you’re using the right tool to look at a post.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to do callouts over it or even block people over a single downvote; god knows I fat finger upvotes all the time, and the only reason I don’t do the same for downvotes is Blahaj has them turned off. But boy does it validate my blocking instincts when I peek and it’s someone I’ve already blocked.

My stupid is 100% organic. Can’t have the AI make you dumber if you don’t use it.

How can anyone watch this and not want to drag the people responsible into the street? The repeated bombing of safe zones, over and over and over, is maddeningly inhumane.

People will say it doesn’t make a difference, but it apparently made enough of a difference that they still can’t find the guy that was putting pipe bombs around the US capitol. I think at least a portion of the “they can still identify you under your mask with computers” claims are based on very niche situations (high quality footage of someone wearing a thin, fabric mask) and exaggeration or allowing people to incorrectly draw their own conclusions.

Don’t forget it’s never too late to start masking.

Dem strategist brains are as wormy as RFK Jr’s, they’ll never accept that it was anything other than the moral impurity of the voting base that lost them the election.

Other democrats simply have not been pushing back on the Republicans in the way that she has, and it’s fucking baffling.

It’s a lot less baffling if you consider the possibility that they never believed any of the shit they said about Trump being a threat to democracy, or if they did that part doesn’t bother them. It was Theater Time during the election and now it’s Cooperation Time, and actually you’re the extreme one for not just seamlessly switching modes!

They learned their lesson with Obama. The funny thing is he’s not even a fucking leftist, the party is just so full of dinosaurs they think a modern centrist is a leftist.
