They already declined Jack Smith’s request to take this question up early. They clearly don’t want to touch it. Unsure if appeals will cause these removals to be stopped or allowed to continue or not. If an appeal stops his removal, I’d bet that would be their goal.

They’re trying to impeach Biden for literally nothing. They said they’ll figure it out as they go. It’s a literal witch hunt. They’re trying to make impeachments mean nothing so that twice-impeached Trump can shrug his off.

Do you think people will just accuse candidates of insurrection willy nilly? I mean I bet Republicans would since they’re trying to impeach Biden for literally nothing. But I don’t think those will pass scrutiny. But Trump absolutely committed actions that could be considered aiding insurrection. Hense the 14th amendment cases.

It’s popular, very memeable, has a long history, and most importantly: there’s 2-3 series of it running right now. So it’s topical and being engaged with.

If you’re seeing them here, there was quite a bit here where posting old memes was a thing. It wasn’t just then making it to the fediverse, but nostalgia posting.

Yep. Something like 88% of new builds in the US are built from the start with HOAs.

Flood insurance is 100% unaffordable. Even insurance companies are subsidized by the government for flood.

It’s not really an issue for most people who aren’t exercising. And I can say this as one who fucks, regardless of your juvenile attempts at disparagement.

What’s that nickname from?

That’s not how party politics works. If you abstain from voting or throw your vote away by voting third party, you may as well just vote for your least favorite candidate because you’re robbing the least worst of a vote.

Grow up.

Because of Israel? Trump would be so much worse. He already tried to expel Muslims.

Yes. It’s now a race between convicting and imprisoning him, and him winning the election and pardoning himself. And then using being president to both dodge punishment and likely issue in a fascist autocracy via Project 2025.

Where is everyone finding month-long lettuce? I get lettuce from the grocer and from my CSA. Fridge and sometimes with their root/stem in a bit of water and it wilts in days. Maybe I should just be leaving it on the counter…

Yeah. I don’t expect to use USD in the middle of nowhere France or Germany when Euros exist. The exchange rate doesn’t really matter: the store isn’t equipped to take that currency.

Websites that look like CVS receipts with their excessive left/right padding. Some L/R padding is desirable, but the degree to which it’s done now is typically done to cram a bajillion ads in the margins.

Yes, I deplore this. I don’t see ads so I assume it’s due to conform to mobile UIs that have a more vertical aspect rations like 9x16 so the designers don’t have to bother actually designing their website. Fucking Wikipedia did this some time ago. Lemmy does it. I sit here on my desktop using 50% of the screen because web UX designers can’t be arsed.

Ah, this old chestnut.

So what you’re saying is nothing is real because it’s all through our perceptions. So you do what? Ignore your senses? Ignore the reality and pretend it is what you want it to be? Curl up and die?

No. You exist through your senses and try to make sense of the world around you through them. All our senses (not yours, clearly) are telling us that time exists. Everything we experience and see is added to the catalogue of knowledge on how the universe works. And everything points to laws that indicate that time exists. We experience it and we see non-human matter experience it.

This is akin to saying gravity doesn’t exist or the sun doesn’t exist. Cool story, bro. Doesn’t change a damn thing about how we live our lives. Can’t float. Still need sunscreen. Time moves on.

just like the concept of time.

Time is absolutely real. Physicists do not debate this with any merit. The book “The Secret” popularized the idea that physicists proved that time didn’t exist but that book is cover-to-cover lies and mysticism.

The second law of thermodynamics has time as an integral component. If scientists didn’t believe time existed or mattered, I doubt that’d be the case. There’s lots and lots and lots of examples of this, that one is just the most poignant.

There’s lots of things we don’t understand about time, just like there’s tons of things we don’t understand about dark matter, gravity, and particle physics.

Like most satire, South Park can’t keep up with the ridiculous levels of fascism Republicans are pushing.

I imagine, if he dislikes Mike Pillow, he was ecstatic. This guy is digging himself a deeeep hole. Oh my his lawyer tells Mike to calm down and hour and half in. Oof.

“No, I don’t own a bag of foam trash, actually.” I wish he said. Or “lumpy pillow”
