Wait, does that mean...this you?

Which is why we can't give in to defeatism and it's dangerous to frame discussion with the notion that Harris is "on track to [...] lose." It's not over until the election is over.

Nothing is guaranteed in this election. Talk of Harris as though she's definitely going to win or definitely going to lose only serves to depress voter turnout because people think their votes aren't necessary.

Vote like your rights depend on it; encourage everyone you know to do the same.

Oooh, I hadn't considered that. There will be so many dick drawings in there by the end of the first year.

He got pissed off because she mentioned the Aryan Nations. I'm guessing he doesn't want too much scrutiny on the subject, for some reason. It's a shame his actions backfired because it's all but guaranteed that there's now someone interested in finding out his connection to AN.

I agree. As much as I'd love karmic retribution for the ones who deserve it, I don't want it at the expense of the ones who don't.

My cat. Everything else in my room brings me either misery or a feeling of meh. Cat brings joy, which is difficult for me to obtain.

It's in the setup of the joke

[-] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

Yep. Last time I heard this joke, it was about a Jewish owner and an antisemite buying the drinks. And I think you're spot on with #3.

Except for the fact that I can't stand him and don't want to look at him ever, I really like this. I'm having some weird cognitive dissonance because it's both really satisfying for my brain when I look at it but also disgusting.

What? Nooooooooo! SU is one of my comfort shows.

This isn't really a gotcha question. The answer is yes.

I have no issues with my politicians protecting people from being bombed. I'd love it if we'd also protect Ukraine with such vigor.

What I do have a problem with is when they provide the weaponry needed to commit genocidal actions and effectively encourage said usage by refusing to apply any sort of oversight.

Protecting Israel, or any other country from violence should be considered a good thing. Causing violence to Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, wherever, should not.

What are some (non-English) idioms, and what do they mean (both literally and in context)? Odd ones, your favorite ones - any and all are welcome. :)

For example, in English I might call someone a "good egg," meaning they're a nice person. Or, if it's raining heavily, I might say "it's raining cats and dogs."

I'm upgrading because my phone is losing (lost?) support. I use a OnePlus 7 Pro and love it and wouldn't bother upgrading otherwise. I'd appreciate some recommendations of android phones you like, please.

Thank you in advance! (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)
