Ok, what in the AI is going on with that turtle hand?

I guess. I would hope that future commentors can read the first quote from the article and notice I provided a different source to support my point that criticism from other Democrats isn’t hard to find.

Look, the average American is not the most well-reasoned individual. Not always their fault due to the situations we are all in over here. The main cultural systems are primarily focused on punishment, not reward. The average American isn’t well-educated, because again, why would they when there isn’t a tangible, understandable reward?

This means that getting people to do what you want is like herding cats. If you have a group of cats and bring them two food choices, and a large portion of the cats hate both, they will display protest behaviour and pout while the food is picked at by the other cats.

You mentioned in another comment about not living in the past. I had to vent about the protest voters too, but I also understand it is a core, unshakable value for them. The past is important to learn from, and the Dem party needs to do so, or people like Trump will never face actual opposition in the polls.

The main problem with ignoring the past is repeating mistakes. The main frustration with learning from the past is to watch others make those mistakes while they ignore your warnings.

I know it’s rough-and-tumble and this was a long message. Hope you find peace where you can and support from those around you. ❤️

Did you… open the news article?

After months of being rubbished by the American media and the Democrat establishment…

Like, yeah they don’t name a bunch of names, but it’s based in Australia, and examples aren’t hard to find.

Mr. Suozzi, whose district covers a sliver of Queens and who endorsed Mr. Cuomo during the primary, said he still had “serious concerns” about Mr. Mamdani, while Ms. Gillen — citing defund the police rhetoric he has since disavowed and his unflinching critiques of Israel — called him “the absolute wrong choice” for New York City.

It’s like reading an AI’s first post. Catturd types like there is an important point to amplify with wisdom, but all the words have 0 impact. Probably has something to do with the commentary being over an orange manchild throwing feces around to see what sticks… again.

That sounds a lot like library ebook renting. Makes sense to me. Ty

I’ll just sit back and watch them come for you.

I mean, I had no faith to begin with that you would do anything but sit back. That’s why my advice was to get active instead of talk.

Fuck everyone who is just sitting here watching things happen

I’m used to reading, “go f*** yourself.” but this may be the first time I have read “go f*** myself.” Grabbed this for you to help you watch 🪞 (* >ω<)

I hope you eventually find joy by not obsessing over other people. Lead, don’t dictate. (-ε- )

Nah. Guy moderates three places here (at least on that account). At least posting and commenting on Lemmy can make him part of useage statistics. I’ll take the growth and laugh at the absurdidty.

Actually, I’m glad they responded. I’m getting a huge kick out of the poorly done trolling attempt.

My phone can schedule send text messages. What’s better is if I use a number that isn’t a number I will get a text back saying it is an invalid recipient.

Ohh, I definitely prefer to send myself a text, especially since I can schedule it to send when I need a reminder at a specific time for something.

Talk talk talk. Go start a gang then. Make the next Black Panthers. You won’t celebrate little wins for potential allies because your wrath pushes you to demand more. That’s the same productivity squeezing mentality of a Walmart middle manager.

That is, assuming you aren’t a plant trawling around for dissidents to investigate.

Really appreciate it. I’ve been telling myself I need to start adding to the emails of my reps, and used this list as the reason to start.

Right. I just mean that the actual journalist may not be allowed to cite actual sources. Corporate might forbid it like how they restrict so many other things.

Edit: One of my personal conspiracy theories as an alternative to Hanlon’s Razer.

For temporary solutions, yes. They have three major, perpetual issues that are not solved by tourism money.

1. Rising sea levels.
2. Too many boats making waves rocking the foundations more.
3. Too much groundwater extraction (seawater pressure will push inland with less groundwater pressure).

Tbf I’m pretty sure journalists only link to other news sites as sources because of corporate. Monetary interests and all that. Bounce the traffic and misinformation around.

Oh, your brain is amazing, sure. Buuuut get Neuralink and let me plug my game in while you try to render the raytracing from foliage collision and I’m pretty sure you would crash like a Windows RT.

Yes. A shotgun was fired through the door at the officers, prompting the request for “cover”. Luckily, no one was injured as there were kids inside. This except comes from the Army War College in Pennsylvania.

Police officers responded to a domestic dispute, accompanied by marines. They had just gone up to the door when two shotgun birdshot rounds were fired through the door, hitting the officers. One yelled cover me!’ to the marines, who then laid down a heavy base of fire. . . . The police officer had not meant ‘shoot’ when he yelled ‘cover me’ to the marines. [He] meant . . . point your weapons and be prepared to respond if necessary. However, the marines responded instantly in the precise way they had been trained, where ‘cover me’ means provide me with cover using firepower. . . . over two hundred bullets [were] fired into that house."[1]

Remember when dolphins actually returned to the city for a little while? That’s how it’s supposed to be for citizens. Bezos should just tour somehwere that needs more tourism. I think the deep sea is open.

That’s generous. I’d go with “penal” system, because they only care about taking and punishing. No justice without reform, rehab, and introspection.
