A "fiscal conservative" is like the parent who tells their kid they can have ice cream, drives them there, let's them order...

Then doesn't pay for it so the guy at the counter throws it away.

If they were really "fiscally conservative" they'd want to tax the wealthy like we did even under Reagan. Like, there's nothing wrong with balancing the budget, they just refuse to tax the fucking wealthy to accomplish it.

Well, thanks for the links!

Kind of fucking shitty they "hope fans can see it" when the whole issue is them making two "exclusive" deals and shortening normal seasons to make "specials"...

Like, sure they were fucking over billion dollar corporations, but also fans who suddenly would need two streaming services to legally watch every episode.

However, the target can also see you.

Not really...

If you knew what you were doing you could look anywhere

If you were a fool of a Took you just turned on a giant beacon that everyone who knew what they were doing and had their own immediately looked at.

Think of it like how some people "look for aliens" by beaming out a giant "hey, look at me! I don't know what I'm doing!" Signal to anyone who can hear.

That's what happened in LOTR. Then others used their own crystal balls to look at where the signal was and saw Pippen.

What do they have to do with the DNC?

Like, you understand there's the DNC, and then every state has their own state party, then I'm pretty sure the terrorities have them too

If your point is some people with Ds by their name are pieces of shit and need to be replaced, you're preaching to the choir director buddy.

But Martin is the DNC chair, and he hasn't said a single bad thing about Mamdani that I'm aware of.

Just look at the reaction to the NYC mayor race

Where?

The only thing I've seen is Martin told some donors that progressives can't win every district...

Which, is obviously true

The example he used was Minnesota where one district wants Illhan Omar and another wants some shitty moderate.

But Martin is going to run national DNC like Minnesota.

  1. Stay out of the primary

  2. Support anyone with a D in the general

It's on voters to get progressives to the general, so vote in the primary and get as many people as you can to do so as well

None of them have been on our side either.

If trump wants to burn down billionaires mouthpieces...

There's a lot that deserve it less.

Kathleen Pakes, a former prosecutor who now specializes in the forensics of child abuse cases for the Office of the Wisconsin State Public Defender, said Harper’s claim of never making an incorrect diagnosis strains credulity.

"There is no other specialty in medicine that has zero error rate. None,” she said.

She's not a doctor...

She a professional expert witness

Her job is to sit there and say as confidentaly as she can that whatever the people paying her want to hear is the only explanation.

They're wrong all the fucking time, but if you express doubt, the lawyers stop hiring you.

So you're left with the best liars getting all the work.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Do it.

Fuck CNN and fuck trump even more

Let the neoliberals and the fascists light all their money on fire in the court system while progressives can actually work on fixing shit

Everytime I see the Drake meme I think:

Why are people still using that pedophile in memes?

But this time there's two of them.

So out of the two pedophiles pictured, why are you still using Drake's picture?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Yep.

And if elections are cancelled, I think enough people move on to the next of the four boxes.

On the plus side the plastic buried in landfills is likely to be the only lasting impression humans make on the world on a long timeline.

Like, coal is just dead trees before anything evolved to break down wood. That's why coal isn't renewable.

And there's already multiple forms of life that breaks down plastic for energy.

So those layers of mostly plastic junk will be unique. No plastic substantially older, and even if we keep making new piles, stuff will be able to start breaking it down and continue after it's buried.

Quick edit:

"Plus side" as in we're not doing more damage, not that leaving a permanent mark in the form of plastic pollution is an overall "good" thing.

 

From 4/24/25, but hadn't heard about it:

Today, DNC Chair Ken Martin and ASDC President Jane Kleeb announced a historic “organize everywhere, win anywhere” strategy – a new four-year agreement to deliver more resources into Democratic state and territory parties than ever before – delivering on Chair Martin’s commitment to turbocharging investments in on-the-ground organizing and party building. Under the new State Partnership Program (SPP) agreement, each state party will receive a baseline of $17,500 a month, a $5,000 per month increase over the last agreement, and Republican-controlled states will receive an additional investment of $5,000 a month through the DNC’s Red State Fund, putting their total at $22,500 every month. The combined investments total a monthly transfer of more than $1 million from the DNC to state parties – the committee’s largest investment into Democratic state parties in history

“Since the public can’t see or hear what’s happening in federal court firsthand, we’re using cutting-edge AI tools to bring these important proceedings to life, based entirely on official transcripts,” said Law&Crime President Rachel Stockman. “This is a pivotal moment in both popular culture and justice, and our goal is to provide accurate, transparent access to what’s actually being said in that courtroom.”

There's two "full time" Lemmy developers, and one of them just added a repeating dialog box that will pop up regardless of instance asking for money to be sent to his and another lemmy.ml admin's personal accounts as a salary.

There's an issue where trolls will "@" people who blocked them because it will still send a notification.

Sometimes it's just people who always do it, so it's likely unintentional.

But it's pretty obvious from a post history glance when they're only doing it with people who never respond to them. And definitely obvious after someone tells them about it

Example:

https://lemmy.world/comment/15711438

Is there anyway to make mention notification abide by the blocklist?

If not should we be reporting harassment to our admins or the admins of the account doing it?

 
 

So after the last couple years of seeing how protests get treated based on how much larping they're doing, I bought some plates and a carrier.

I'm fully aware the only thing it does is stop me from dying immediately from a body shot, and only covers like 10% of me.

But the only reason I got it was because cops have been showing for decades they won't start violence against protesters when even just a few are plated up and holding a rifle. And I got a feeling there's gonna be some protests again.

My issue is I look like a nazi's wet dream even when I'm not geared up, and it's not like someone can read a Tshirt under a plate carrier.

I wanted to grab some patches from SRA, but all they sell is stickers, and Etsy just has vague slogan patches you wouldn't be able to read from five feet away.

I did see some links where the reddit sub had been doing mass patch orders over the years. Is there any community not on the big social media doing the same?

Or any other methods to show you're an ally besides just facing the right way?

I'm also a little hesitant to slap something like an antifa rose on because I can't see trump not declaring them a terrorist group at some point.

 

Somewhat satire, somewhat actual investigation.

Pretty much same vibes as the Daily Show
