My only quibble would be to swap “pay” for “invest” which captures both the dynamic of up front expense and expected savings from ending recurring subscription fees. That’s how I look at it. Every penny I put into my own digital sovereignty is an investment that will yield returns both financial and otherwise.

I am not a citizen of New Mexico, but I cannot begin to tell you how fulfilled I would feel to learn that my high was lifting others up somehow.

So, persistent looming threat then.

Makes sense.

It’s just as good as 2008 google, which is all I want.

Ukraine likely adopted that posture well before The Tantrum.

Push out a saucer of milk and provide updates please.

If Lemmy is social media, then Lemmy is my only social media app. I have Mastadon installed but I never use it.

I think it has been a decade since I used Facebook or Twitter and I never tried any of the later generation of networks like Snap or TikTok.

Lest anyone think this is about policy or even politics - it ain’t.

This is about the wrong guy getting the headlines. Simple as.

In not alarming news…Maybe the annual tradition of pardoning a turkey will remain largely unchanged

In a way this is better than an endorsement would’ve been. Especially because it’s acknowledged who the would-be recipient of the endorsement would have been.

Well the front fell off you see.

And their political affiliations would be somehow above questioning?

Have you met our Supreme Court?

Naïve article overall. Writers should know better than to prognosticate on what could actually hurt Trump’s chances. But this is a fantastic line:

That was clear early on when Tony Hinchcliffe, a man invited by Trump to give one of the introductory speeches—who in true MAGA fashion alleged without providing a shred of evidence that he was a comedian

They literally just did with a very high degree of precision, you butterknife.

Its better to be the incumbent party for sure but there are still manifold threat modes.

Yeah you can just remove the outer boundary of suckage in that case.

I am just accepting the fact that the entire period between election day and inauguration is going to suck very, very badly if Harris wins.

Directly into my veins please.

I laughed but…

I hope we are able to reclaim our basic humanity if we survive this attack on the fabric of our society.

Concern-trolling aside, you accidentally make a good point about inequity of expectations for the two candidates.

Being associated with a pedophile rapist should be disqualifying for anyone running for president.

Trump has a known association with a pedophile rapist and is indeed himself an adjudicated rapist, meanwhile I winced hard reading at the end of this article that Beyonce has previously gifted Kamala tickets to see her back in 2023.

There isn’t actually anything wrong with that, but the bar for impropiety for Harris is so low it’s a constant tripping hazard, while impropiety is just accepted as a burned in part of Trump’s big businessman personality.

Its fucking insane and I appreciate you inadvertently highlighting it.
