Plot twist: “Dad” isn’t even his real name.

There is a white couple somewhere ready to tackle this.

when I’ve searched my name with Google over the years, it has said I’m a high school football star, corporate lawyer, Ironman competitor, hotel chef, tech support specialist, janitorial manager, and horse trainer. LIES! ALL LIES!!!

I know there are individuals who hate the world and want everybody else to be suffer, or to be dumb and gullible because then they’re easier to con. But IMO the main driver is the basic conservative attitude that everybody should stand on their own two feet - either because in their minds it makes the nation stronger, or they just resent having to pay for anybody else’s anything - even things that benefit other conservatives. Individually motivated group behavior often looks like a conspiracy but it’s not. Most people don’t eat meat to spite vegans, or floss to put dentists out of business. Etc.

Nailed it, this is the only reason I’ve used notepad for years. Speaking of which, now that I’m permanently on Linux I should lfind a command line way to do this - there has to be one, if not many.

I agree she would be amazing, but Bernie won’t be around long enough for that team-up. He’s already a year older than Biden. The Dems need to cultivate a lot more younger politicians. They should have been going hard at this years ago.

Her abilities aren’t the issue, the public’s perception is. I don’t think enough people will accept that she’s been on the scene long enough to be president.

A Trump presidency, let alone TWO, wouldn’t have been possible without the gradual dumbing down of Americans over the last century, which IMO is an unintended side effect of progressive addiction to entertainment and convenience. Nobody conspired to make people more stupid by getting them to watch too much TV. That happened as business people strove to sell more products and get richer, like always.

Found the project manager.

The point is that she went from waitress to congress in 2 years - a giant achievement that at the same time gives her a “rookie” label. It’s not unreasonable that it will take a few more years to become seasoned enough for the presidency in mainstream voters’ minds.

Well of course I did, whaddya think I am, some kinda idjit?

So do I, but I wouldn’t expect her to win right now. Americans are too lazy to want change but they’ll want to be rescued from collapse. Things have to get a lot worse before enough fence-sitters will listen to her.

Isn’t MacOS based on a Unix kernel? Or did they evolve away from the core principle of treating everything as a file?

America isn’t going to have a revolution. Modern Americans couldn’t revolution our way out of a Walmart. Best we might be able to do is a collapse, and we’ll blame it on everybody in the world but ourselves.

Please don’t let her form a new party. As much as people say they hate the 2-party system, fragmenting the Democratic Party would be a yuge mistake at this point. We need to let the Trumpublican Party eat itself when he keels over from dementia or his final Big Mac Attack. The MAGA opportunists who rode in on his coattails will tear each other to pieces as they claw for position like rats.

I can really see AOC as president. She’s already at the minimum age, but I would like to see her take another 5-10 years to learn how to broaden her appeal.

I don’t believe any of the 3 dogs I’ve had were ever in an elevator. Never thought about that before.

But while vacationing on Maui for a few weeks, toward the end my 4-yo daughter asked, “When are we going back to the real world?”

LOL but it was ’ x + 1’ not ‘x += 1’ tho.

Forewarned is four-armed.

Dunno, it just came to me - this is my first and only Lemmy account. I like amusing names and used to start new reddit accounts and throw away old ones whenever I thought of a fun new one or when my karma got high enough to remind me how addicted I was to reddit. Past names there include FoolZerrand, AmiableBowelSyndrome and MadMaxMcMadd. I thought about Shitzengiggles but didn’t want to give the impression of being German.
