I think every time Trump or Vance says they’re seeing reports from people about this, reporters should ask if Vance fucked a couch (and don’t sanitize it for broadcast literally ask “Did Senator Vance fuck a couch?”) because of how many reports they are seeing from people.
We found the Haitian!
The way he paused before saying “the Jewish people” I’m convinced he had to brace himself to not sneer out “the Jews” instead.
The fact checking live to his face had him losing it. And that irritated head shake every time they quoted him. So beautiful.
So yeah the person said it told them there wasn’t an account for me and it sent me an SMS inviting me to join. But then they said the message they sent showed the blue double checkmark indicating the message had been seen. 😕 So I loaded the app on an old phone with no other apps or anything on it, and it registered my number without any fuss. So I guess Meta was put out a good psych game. But it’s weird that the message was read before I setup the app.
You should assume that they’re not private since E2EE is not an advertised feature.
I saw that there is a PS5 native version in Beta now. Hoping they get around to making a PSVR2 after that has hit GA.
Nice, will check it out.
ah, brilliant. thanks.
How is that a function of the streaming stick rather than YouTube itself? Have you looked into if your home router can rune some ad blocking software? Something like PiHole/AdGuard/Unbound.
People have been telling me that consoles are dying and everyone will play on PC instead for over 30 years. The convenience factor of the all-in-one hardware, and the supported lifetime of the platform, can’t be understated. I can see docked phones being a replacement at some point. But I’d be surprised if PCs ever squash out consoles.
As I recall, he called it off after the Kremlin walked back whatever policy it was that pissed him off.
The use of both “we’ve agreed” in the first sentence, and “subject to them” in the third makes me believe he means we == Trump campain and them == Harris campaign. So lying liar though he is, I don’t read that as him claiming Harris agreed to a Fox debate.
Biden’s proposals also includes an enforceable code of ethics to address corruption on the bench. And as Carrolade mentions, Congress can impeach and remove judges.
They already had. Back in February at CPAC

You decided to go back to assigning me others opinions instead of the ones I explained to you as mine.
No more so than you did of me. I was trying to provide in my last comment the context under which I had been engaging with other people that was informing my responses prior your clarifications.
edit: The SCOTUS ruling, dummy. Wiki even links the appeal. You’re better off not trying to be king of the idiots.
Lemmy seems to be stripping the trailing ‘.’ off my wikipedia link link in my prior comment, but the text “scotus” does not appear in either of the links I provided. But here’s another article that affirms my statement that SCOTUS declined to hear the appeal.
Maybe you could provide a link to the ruling you’re talking about, because I can’t find anything that says the SCOTUS did anything other than decline to hear the appeal of the 2016 lawsuit brought by Bernie supporters.
You’ve assumed that winning is the only outcome of value.
My opinion is that persons who continue to bring up Bernie Sanders not winning the primary as a reason to not shift the parties through their primaries is that those persons are making that assumption and that I am trying to refute it by pointing out the existence of the progressive Squad since his losing bids in 2016 and 2020. So it appears we’re both misunderstanding each other on that point.
Five percent of the GE in this cycle puts the platform on every ballot in the next. That choice would be outside the influence of party primary and from a party more loyal to the platform than even Sanders.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ballot that doesn’t have 3rd party candidates on it. I see Green and Libertarian candidates all the way up and down the ballot here in Texas. Going back to my first election in 96 there have always been both Green and Libertarian candidates to vote for in the general.I’m
That exerts a fuck ton of pressure on Democratic Party platform for at least four years.
I disagree with this. My observation thus far is that in the last 40 years of elections I’ve voted in the presence of 3rd party platforms on the ballot has not any measurable effect on the Democratic platform or candidates. And the only thing that did, in my opinion, was Bernie Sanders running in the Democratic primary for the presidential nomination. I started voting in the primaries in 2008.
But, this reasoning only works well in deep red states. Everywhere else voters need to worry much more about short term harm reduction. I even did the math for what proportion of deep red state Democratic voters would need to reason this out to get 5% of the GE. It’s definitely possible.
I’m in Texas, in a district gerrymandered Republican. Greens and Libertarians are already on the ballot. Democratic candidates aren’t getting more progressive here to appeal to Green party voters. Not that I can see.
I advocate and practice the means that have been historically, statistically, psychologically proven, in order of decreasing importance: rebellion, riot, strike, boycott, protest, and voting.
As long as you’re voting.
Why? What did the DNC do to favor his opponents? What I’ve seen is that the DNC was in debt and the Clinton campaign bailed them out in exchange for a bit of nepotism to put some of her people in charge.
Anyone I’ve asked to read the ruling that then did so no longer votes in the major party primaries. You seem reasonable. Please, read it for yourself.
What I looked up showed a law suit filed in Florida by Bernie supporters asserting they had been defrauded.

The circuit court ruled against them because “none of the plaintiffs had claimed to have donated to the DNC on the basis of promises contained in the DNC charter.” The 11th circuit appellate court unanimously upheld the circuit court ruling, and SCOTUS declined to hear the case.
How did the DNC prevent voters from voting for Bernie in the primary? He was included in the debates for all the voters to hear him present his platform. He was on the primary ballot in every state for the voters to chose him. I’ve not been made aware of any actual vote tampering to contest the winners of the popular vote in each state or super delegate ratfuckery to overrider the popular votes. And to my knowledge Hillary won more delegates through the popular primary votes around the country.
Succinctly, I want more to think along a longer scale of time than the next five years.
I’m under no delusion that shifting the parties through their primaries is a 5 year plan. I’m of the opinion that people who keep citing Bernie losing the 2016 and 2020 primaries as reasons to vote 3rd party or not vote are the ones under such a delusion. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is today.
More importantly, individuals may represent the same ideology but be in very different situations making very different choices. For example, I think a wise leftist in a red state probably best represents leftist ideology by voting Green POTUS this cycle.
I’m in Texas in a gerrymandered red district, so I voted in the Republican primary for the best chance at defeating Abbot’s school voucher program, and I’m voting Democratic in the general for the same. It’s just a matter of enough voters showing up to flip the script though. Bill Clinton came within a quarter million of winning the state in 96. Biden received more votes in Texas in 2020 than he did in New York, and Trump only won by ~650k votes that year, which is a significantly lower margin than the number of voters in the core blue areas of the state who did not vote. Gen Z turned out in 2022 to temper the red wave, and we have a woman running in the first post-Roe presidential election. I think we can do it if we get all the left-leaning voters to come out and vote Democratic.
I’ve decided to vote Green POTUS in the general
So you’re contradicting yourself by telling me you’re not voting and that I’m making flawed assumptions about you in response to my apparently correct inference about you intending to vote Green Party, and then telling AmidFuror you are voting Green. Derpy indeed.
Is … is yours externally self-lubricating?
