Sausage party, some might say.

The Socialist

Voter roll purges, where and how many polling places, misinformation mailers and calls, super PACs, electoral college, etc. This election, and most every other election, was totally rigged. They suppress voting in huge ways. They hold it on a Tuesday and it’s not a national holiday. Even if your job doesn’t outright stop you from going, a lot of people can’t afford to take that time and go vote. All of this is well documented and carefully orchestrated. Yes, people voted for Trump, but if shit wasn’t rigged he would never even have been on the ballot. Yes, Americans are to blame for this outcome, but it’s not just the voters. This outcome is decades in the making. They just haven’t been nearly so effective in elections past.

And possibly trafficking them.

Or a total asshole trying to fuck the rest of us anal motherfuckers. Lol

My introduction is subtle. I text content to people. When they ask me where I get it (it’s happened twice so far), I say Lemmy. They say, “what’s that.” Gives me an opportunity to explain the similarities and differences with (advantages over) Reddit. No takers yet, but it’s coming.

Put them in a box and put the box in the drawer.

I can’t recycle just any metal thing in my bin.

I have a couple of them saved, but I have sets of actual tools that include Allen wrenches. So, I don’t keep most of them. I do keep the instructions with the item, though.

He almost looks like some animatronic cats I’ve seen.

He’s not comparing her to the day. He’s saying she was beautiful back then and she’s just as beautiful 15+ years later.

Sure, but what did they expect you to do before making that change.

So, how do you power it down?

For that money, you can buy actual air filtration units. The box fan may be noisy, but something that big is going to have massive surface area and provide a lot of filtration.

No idea, but they have the option, just like me.

Yeah, they would wait for me in most meetings. In 75% of the meetings I participate in, I’m a key person and have to provide meaningful information, some of it based on the discussion in the meetings. If I had “mic issues” in them, they’d want me to start showing up early to address them before the meeting. And thus we’re back to square one.

I have all that turned off. A new chat pertaining to the meeting is added to the list of chats, but I don’t see that unless I’m looking at the Teams window.

All of them.

Yes, when I was young we had an outdoor cat for like 8-10 years. She had litter after litter of kittens (my parents should have gotten her spayed, or course, but it just didn’t happen). One day she didn’t come home, which was unusual for her. So, we went looking for her and called out to her. We eventually gave up for the night. We didn’t see her the next day, and couldn’t find her. A few days later when still looking for her, we spotted her. There were a couple of wooden lots between us and the next neighbor. She was on their porch sitting on their patio furniture. We took her home and gave her love and food. The next day she was gone. She was back at the neighbor’s. We just left her because it was clear she was where she wanted to be. She knew how to get back to my house, but she was already home–it just wasn’t mine. It was sad, but we weren’t going to restrain her. The neighbors didn’t mind. So, she got to retire.
