Does she have any relationships in Washington left to leverage?

Might I suggest a calender app?

There are plenty old movies I have seen or would love to see, but very few of those were made before 1940, and 1940 won’t reach public domain for another 15 years.

I’m calling it now that he doesn’t get confirmed. He’s going to sound insane at his confirmation hearings because he’s insane, and he’s by no means a dyed-in-the-wool MAGA, so they will view it as not hurting one of their own.

This doesn’t really work, since, you know, Biden’s already been president for three and a half years. The lettuce was set up for Liz Truss on day one

Not even slightly, the overwhelming majority of protests were 100% peaceful, and the rare incidence of violence received wall-to-wall media coverage. Here in Austin, TX, I saw a crowd of people protesting like I had never seen before, thousands of people matched from an HBCU here to the state capitol without incident. That one and the hundreds, maybe thousands like it barely made the news.

The “liberals” this bullshit graphic is trying to demonize were the ones doing the marching.

“I assume your hand print will open this door, whether you are conscious or not.”

“60% growth” seems large, but there are almost 85,000,000 people in Germany, so we’re talking about growing from ~0.03% to ~0.05% of the population here.

Lemmy is your job, apparently

I just don’t wanna be social and hate the world.

Saying that after also talking about how your situation is depressing to you indicates you want things to be different but aren’t ready to try to make anything different. People’s life circumstances can fuck with them, for sure, but the only person who can make anything different for you is you.

You’re stuck having a pity party for yourself and you’ve spun your self-hatred into hatred for “the world.” Try really hard to let go of whatever shame and self-hatred you’re holding on to and accept that none of us are perfect, and there are actually plenty people out there who would accept you and be your friend if you treat them with respect.

The Supreme Court had consistently been moving many issues to the left over many decades until very recently, so I don’t know what you’re talking about here at all. This is the direct result of the Republican Party, from Mitch McConnell refusing to even entertain the possibility of Obama filling Scalia’s seat to Trump appointing 3 justices. There’s a dose of Ginsburg’s narcissism in there too, she should have retired.

Why should they?

Chickens and many other birds appear to bob their heads because their eyes are fixed in their sockets, so they can’t fix their eyes on a point while moving, but instead have to keep their head still. What looks like bobbing is the bird pushing its head forward and keeping it completely still for a moment while its body catches up. Without keeping its head still, it wouldn’t be able to see much of anything very effectively, prey or predator.

T rex might have been able to move its eyes, in which case it probably wouldn’t have bobbed its head.

DBT 4 lyfe. I’m a strong believer that literally everyone would benefit from learning DBT skills. Interpersonal communication, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mindfulness are all skills people can practice and develop

Buttigieg should be front and center a lot. He’s whip smart, a great speaker, and really relatable

From years of experience working in mental health, people pretty much have an “average” mood set (mostly) independently from their life situation. There are lots of people who are really ok when bad things happen in their lives, and lots of people who are dour or sad about things even when they’re fine. Ultimately, lots of people don’t need any “sips of reality to be miserable,” they’ve just decided to be miserable regardless. Obviously all of this is serious generalization and is not universally applicable.

People be gaslighting themselves into being not ok all day every day

I’m blown away by how many people use apps when they don’t have to. There’s a reason companies are always trying to get you to download their app, and it’s so they can put their software on your phone and harvest more of your data.

So for you, the lowest price is the only thing that matters? It doesn’t matter whether it’s a shitty product? Or that they’re one of the least efficient shippers due to their tariff avoidance strategy, and in doing so are contributing more per purchase to climate change than even companies like Amazon and Walmart?
