Unless I missed something about how Kamala Harris is running for President of Israel, then no.

Though it would mean anybody who votes for Harris, should she be elected, shares responsibility for her policies, including any enacted around Israel.

polling shows most republican voters are *not* in favor of extreme abortion restrictions. They want abortion up to a certain point and for certain reasons.

So those polled voters indicate what they want in a poll.

But when they’re told the other side is murdering full-norn babies, they go for what seems to them like the lesser evil.

Yet those same voters elect (choose) the politicians (their representatives who speak for them) who want something different.

Again I ask why a distinction should be made, in regards to voters and politicians, when discussing party. Seems to me like both groups, voters and politicians, say one thing and do another.

As Maya Angelou once said, “When someone tells you who they are, believe them.”

Politicians are the elected representatives of the voters. If the politicians want something their voters don’t then why are they being elected.

Your dogs might be chill but I bet all the other dogs find their unsolicited advice and wildly off base assumptions annoying.

Using your logic they’re also probably pretty thin skinned when called out on it.

Well damn! You’re 0/2!!! Look at you go!

Maybe, just maybe, two comments on Lemmy, one not even directly about our dogs, isn’t enough for your armchair analysis.

Don’t worry, I don’t expect you to actually eat your hat, though that was a foolish thing to say.

Firstly, nobody comes to our door “unexpectedly”. We’re alerted and have them on camera before they hit our front walk.

Secondly, our dogs lose their minds barking when my wife comes home from work, when we have expected company, when we come back from running errands, when our neighbor comes home from work and slams his car door etc. etc. etc.

It’s almost like they both have high amounts of guard dog breeds in them.

I’m there with you.

We have a camera on the driveway and the front walk. We have a sign at the start of the front walk that, in compliance with state/federal law requirements, says no politics (among others). Anybody who makes it to the door gets yelled at for not reading the sign and asked for their permit from the city to go door to door.

We really don’t like people, outside of expected visitors/deliveries, coming to our door. Our dogs lose their minds barking and then are on high alert for a while going off at every little noise.

Political texts, regardless of party or content, get an automatic delete and mark junk. Same with emails.

Mailers don’t make it into the house and go right into the recycling.

We don’t vote based on the best marketing campaign.

🤣

That’s a convenient way to dismiss something that doesn’t fit your view.

I play the Daily Challenge everyday on MobilityWare’s solitaire game. I’ve played 3,607 daily challenges to date.

I hate Christmas music from years working in retail but this one really jams!

No thanks! I’ll take housing that only costs me property taxes. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed so I’d take that certainty today.

I totally agree and understand the use case. That plays into that more in depth type of self hosting most here do. All I have is storage via Synology, and Pi-hole, smart home controls and a media server in separate containers.

My use case is strictly QoL improvements that my wife would either just live without or switch to a more conventional, easy to use setup for her.

$208,063.88

This would pay off our mortgage and we could dump that monthly payment into saving for retirement.

However, if the question was how much do we need then it would be $0. We are far more fortunate than many.

If there was a line of all the people in this comment section waiting to get whatever amount they need I’d be one of those continuously moving to the back to let others go first.

I hope you all find improved quality of life, even if it’s not through some financial windfall!

I don’t self host to the extent many here seem too but I have had the same thought and joked with my wife about it.

Ultimately everything I’ve setup I’ve done in part because it’s my hobby and it interests me. When I’m gone my family will revert to whatever they’d normally be doing without me, because they don’t have interest in it like I do.

For sure! The only reason I upgraded is because the OptiPlex costs a lot to run in terms of electricity.

For stuff I pretty much run 24/7 I really wanted better power efficiency.

I’m on board with this. I did something similar putting a Synology 920+ and an Asus NUC style machine running Ubuntu in place of my old OptiPlex and WD MyCloud setup.

I’m now the primary content provider for a bunch of my family!

I’ve been struggling with gout in my knee and ankle off and on. When it gets bad I’m almost immobile and I broke down and finally bought a cane to help me hobble around when it’s at its worst.

Mine also came from Ukraine and like you I wanted something with personality. I got an oak, ball top style stained cherry and I love it!

The hexbear and lemmygrad users/posts I run across in All mostly remind me of those street corner preachers. I don’t care one way or another about their ideologies but it’s tiring that they always feel the need to shout it in your face.

I don’t hate them but find them to be obnoxious and mostly cult-like.
