I assume it was just named after r/politics - like most of the other communities here during the migration.

RIP

Another thing that’s barely on the chart: Foreign Policy, some fraction of which would be the genocide.

It just wasn’t the influential issue that much of Lemmy wished it were, and clearly not the reason Harris lost.

I read elsewhere that the pension was specifically not included, but the rest of the package sure sounds to me like a good deal in the headlines.

I know a Boeing employee, I’ll have to ask them about their take on it when I get a chance.

The implied part is ‘rich’. It isn’t a guarantee.

In the US, “estates” sounds vaguely wealthy. For example, a fancy garage sale is an Estate Sale (which kinda implies a rich person died and this is their estate being liquidated.)

Why’d you have to call me out like that with those first three?

(Seriously, not keeping stuff is so difficult. It’s a strain on my marriage and I wish I could just flip a switch and not feel that instinct)

Every time I use NewPipe or PipePipe, etc. and see the actual default videos, I lose a little more faith in humanity. Sometimes an actual good science channel like Kurzgesagt will be there and restore some, but generally it really is this bad.

And be Peter Greene as Dorian Tyrell

On a large enough clock, the hour hand could have easily visible marks for not just minutes, but also seconds. If I were an architect or whatever I would try to make that the floor of a lobby or something.

What is this, a magnification for ants?

I’m surprised it’s not by Eiffel.

Yes. Although our children are more squircle than square.

1. That’s exactly the same thing and you know it and she knows it.

2. True, but all 3rd party candidates who are running in the general election are there to be a spoiler. Even RFK jr. dropped out and dropped the mask as soon as he realized he was spoiling the wrong side.

3. You’re right that she’s not campaigning for de la Cruz, but she still said the quiet part out loud about supporting 3rd party candidates in general. (And Sawant uses the word socialist to describe herself regardless of specific party, I hadn’t realized that she wasn’t in the main one, thank you. That’s why I used ‘one of them’ incorrectly.)

Yup. Their goal is to help elect Trump. One of them a self-described socialist who supports Jill Stein from my state even said so outright.

Edit: looks like some of you might not believe me. Here.

And here’s a more direct source, but it has a paywall.

(Edited for accuracy)

Wow. Yeah, that’s almost Space: 1999 levels of unphysical.

I had to read that 2-3 times before I could comprehend that the base was not on top of ice and falling through it.

Yeah…

Very nice. Apparently the donation model is working for them. I’m going to support them myself after giving it a bit more time, but I’m already impressed.

Yup. Kids are jumpy alright. I expect to see a lot more of them this evening.

I think a good author makes it explicit.

Here’s a sci-fi web novel I read years ago, where a couple of the characters end up being immortal in different ways, and in one case they show exactly how far that can go (in the context of the story) even without invoking heat death.
