¿Por que no los dos?

Visit your nearest aquarium! They often have a petting tank where you can touch rays and small sharks. And if not, hey, at least the aquarium is still great!

Some alcohol cooks off when used this way, but not all. Be cautious when cooking for others to mention this so non-drinkers can make an informed choice.

It can be a delicious addition though: alcohol dissolves flavor and aromatic compounds that water and fat cannot, so you get a lot of unique flavors especially from barrel-aged drinks like whisky and wine.

Space Mutiny is my favorite, but since OP already claimed it (now who will bring toys to the children!?) I’ll go with my close second, Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. It’s such trash and Raul Julia tears up every blessed scene he’s in. He only dabbles in dopples but his love for the cinemas is easy to reciprocate.

Try a typing game, there’s lots of them now in several genres. I learned to touch type in secondary school, doing the old fashioned thing of taping a sheet of paper over the keyboard (and typing under it) so you can’t see the keys. That works but I believe in the educational power of games, and it’ll be more fun.

Otherwise, just practice. If you use lemmy on mobile, try switching to desktop to type more. Start writing letters to people or short stories or anything that just encourages you to type more.

That would require “journalist” to still be a real career path. Media sites today have cut costs down to the point where “outsourced guy (about to be replaced by AI) who writes 1000 words about Xitter posts” is what passes for “news reporter” these days. What are those people supposed to do, actual work?

I hope they sing “Goodbye Trump” not only because Goodbye Earl is a banger of a song but also because i want to laugh about Ben Shapiro complaining that The Chicks threatened to murder Trump and open a lesbian jam stand over his secret grave.

My last car was named Alice after the “Alice in Chains” mix cd that was left in the cd changer when I bought it.

My current car isn’t named, because I think it might be cursed and I don’t want to give any more power to it.

Except for all the actual hatred that drives the machine, and not wanting to give any more attention to those whack jobs, I will admit that a sitcom following the bumbling, doomed to fail presidential campaign of the worst candidate in history could be really funny.

Why? It seems like “gonna” has entered the lexicon as an alternative to “going to”, languages change over time. Are you mad people say “hi” instead of “hello” as well?

In particular, the Harris campaign’s biggest strategy is staying energized and getting younger people to actually vote. The way you keep younger people engaged is to use language familiar to them. Talking like a stuffy politician isn’t motivating to apathetic voters tired of stuffy political rhetoric.

Incorrect. Hospitals must attend emergency patients, even if uninsured.

They make up the costs by charging everyone else more for everything. They also have to jack up costs to pay for malpractice insurance because doctors get sued frequently for all kind of reasons (valid and not).

One could argue that universal healthcare and fixes to patient rights so that civil lawsuits weren’t the only means of redressing a medical wrongdoing would all actually be a lot cheaper for everyone because it properly distributes risks and costs into society as a whole, and reduces long-term and recurrent medical costs. Instead of dumping all that onto “individual responsibility” in such a way that owners of hospitals and insurance companies get rich while everyone else suffers.

Remember when Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize 6 months in? What will they give President Harris? Winter Olympic Gold? The Pulitzer? CMH?

My father is quite proud that as he nears retirement, he’s scrounged and saved enough to break into the millionaire’s club! He also voted Republican for his entire life, and now I probably won’t ever be able to retire, so thanks a lot dad! (This is also one of many reasons they aren’t ever getting grandkids.)

What Isreal is doing in Gaza is inexcusable, particularly doing it with our guns.

But the above poster is right, the US would never drop them. Isreal is too important to the US MIC for maintaining control in the middle east. If we abandoned Isreal, neighboring countries would (with good justification) most likely ally to invade them, led by Iran. Then the US has to deal with an allied ME bloc, possibly backed by Russia, China, or both.

Really, the US is pouring money and arms into its own “defense” via Isreal as proxy. We should step in to stop them being genocidal, but I think the worry is that we’d just stir up a bigger shitstorm if we tried to actually deploy.

Not that it’s going to matter soon since Iran ramping up aggression will “force” the US to step in.

In a multi-way ballot, Harris’ lead widens, receiving 47% to Trump’s 41% among registered voters, and 50% to 42% among likely voters.

Yeah, I’ve been wondering about this. People talk like RFK and Stein are spoilers for the Dems, when it seemed really obvious to me that RFK and Trump must share some of the brainworm-victim demographic.

If you weren’t there, it’s hard to describe how Americans were after 9/11. It broke people. We got a lesson in vulnerability and humility that most Americans learned nothing from, instead sinking deeper into paranoia, rage, greater entitlement, and vengeance.

I feel like the tankies make all leftists look like uncompromising lunatics. We are capable of taking small wins, negotiating, and working with moderates.

His stance (and Harris’) on cops looks pretty bad, as a leftist, but Americans fucking love cops so being ACAB isn’t a safe political position. Kind of the same issue with Isreal: a US politician can’t be anti-Isreal, they have to take a mediated stance. But it seems like Walz knows how to navigate the nuance of those issues.

On other issues, I’m flexible myself. I’m a southerner, and I’m pro-gun-ownership. It seems like Walz is too, and has over time changed his pro-NRA stance to something more moderate and acceptable: guns ok, with regulation and limits. That’s a reasonable stance on guns, one that I also share with my deeply Republican (anti-trump) parents. And that excites me because now I have talking points to try and push them towards a D vote.

I don’t necessarily think that the VP spot being a lead-up to a presidential run should be one of the top considerations right now. We need to win this race, 2028 and 2032 can wait their turn.

Beyond that critique, there’s a lot the Harris-Walz ticket can do to line up future Dem candidates for many races. For one, this is a big leftward shift for the Dems. That opens up the board for the Squad to make a run in the future. That opens up a path for other, more progressive candidates to fill other positions. We have no idea what the Harris cabinet will look like and a strong cabinet position is also an excellent prelude to a presidential campaign.

Plus, I don’t want to get my hopes too high here and indulge in fantasy, but look at what this is doing to Republicans. What if that party shatters post-Trump? Maybe in two: a returning center-right party and an actual fascist party? If the Republicans try to retake the center, that could drive the Dems further left longterm.

tldr, a Harris presidency could go many ways, and I’m not ready to be a pessimist yet! I think this is a good thing especially because it sets us up to do even better in the future!

Colorism comes to Lemmy at last

Your revolution is over, Mr. Trump. Condolences. The bums lost. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Donald?

The bums will always lose!
