While I agree with the goal, this doesn’t make the underlying voter sentiment go away. What is the German government doing to address the underlying reasons for AFD’s rise? Regardless of their veracity, those thoughts are prevalent enough to cause this problem. While they might lessen, they won’t simply go away with the party if it’s banned. They have to be addressed, one way or another. I’m in the US, and I would argue that, out side of his base, most Trump voters don’t like the guy at all. Yet the Democrats’ “We’re not them” message has so far not been an consistent winner!

“Jarvis” is an option with Home Assistant’s voice assistant.

You lasted longer than me

Butt, since they “have all the cards” why would the US do that!?

I’m beginning to think Trump doesn’t really know what it means to “have all the cards.” I suspect that’s why he was unable to successfully run a casino. More than once.

Meanwhile, Carney will hopefully be signing new trade deals with Japan, Mexico, and Europe, freezing the US out entirely. They should also maybe shut off the oil pipelines coming out of ‘Berta.

Everyone is being deliberately divided. It’s not specific to minority groups. I guess my issue is that the post is vague and assumes minority groups act as voting blocs which is pretty simplistic. OP is basically saying what everyone already knows: that there are more people making up “minorities” than there are making up the “majority.” I would argue that your local community has a higher impact on your vote than your ethnicity or race. For sure, those play a part, but they don’t singularly define your vote. Also, various minority groups skew quite differently. Latinos typically skew more conservative than, say Jews or blacks.

I do, and my point wasn’t. Not all minority groups agree on everything just because they’re minorities. The world is a tad more complicated than that. Besides, what are they “coming together” to do? Overthrow the “majority?” Does that automatically assume that the majority is wrong and minorities are right just because they’re minorities? Again, the world’s just not that simple.

Yeah, it’s easy to think people are joking about using Go Fund Me for medical treatments, but it’s real. More than that, you’ll see news stories here about people donating their money so a kid can get some treatment, or their time off so that a parent can take a kid to their treatment, and they’re treated like “feel good” stories about communities banding together rather than the dystopian hellscape that they really are. The US is capitalism run amok, and the populations of other countries really should take notice before their wealthy classes succeed in making the same political decisions that got us here. It’s already happening in the EU.

This cannot be screamed loud or often enough!

This is, increasingly, the answer.

Fortunately, my dad was a bit of a geek and movie buff, so we had a lot of VHS and LaserDisc! Got to see the Star Wars trilogy (original theatrical releases, no less, on LD). There were a bunch of others. Police Academy, Tron, Flash Gordon… too much to list.

This assumes the minority groups can all agree on things in order to “come together.”

Actions, meet consequences! If world leaders are going to ignore multiple reports, not to mention their own country’s intelligence agencies, all saying Iran is not developing a nuclear weapon, why bother letting anyone in to inspect?

Thanks, Trump & Bibi! Working together to make everyone just a bit less safe, and the world just a bit more shitty.

It could be a perspective thing. Children of immigrants possibly don’t see themselves as immigrants or even adjacent.

One other thought I had was about trust fund kids thinking they “worked as hard as anyone else” for their riches. For example, I remember when Bezos was building Amazon. He certainly did work hard to build that site, but the benefits of the loan his parents provided cannot be overlooked or forgotten. Same thing with Elon… most rich people, for that matter.

I thought Omnivore was sold.

Also, isn’t pocket being renamed to something? Odd having it listed as an “alternative” to itself!

They need to help him.

Unfortunately, the not so nice tend to be the louder group.

The Sweetest Thing came off as a pretty saccharine rom-com. It was more like American Pie for late-20s.

Gooood Yogi!
