This is when you would respond "Bitch, I said what I said" (Doja Cat, Paint the Town Red), right?! Hrmm.... me neither:-P.
Fortunately, that condition is something that the EMH eventually became able to treat for himself:-D.
Then the Alliance proceeds to take the sky from planet after planet...:-( Fortunately, there was always some other planet further out, where people could be free! Like enshittification took Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Reddit, but us browncoats made our own way over on Lemmy:-).
Firefly was the opposite - man, I could just listen to that intro over & over again... :-) Maybe that's all Harry does all day long, which is why he never gets promoted?
And clothing that lasts for more than at least one year, sheesh!
But were people allowed to say "bitch" back then? Truly we have advanced in so many ways!:-)
Instructions unclear, now have Pope following me around the woods trying to poop on me - help!?
It is, but presumably phrasing it as a question increases engagement (or was thought to) hence furthers the OP's goal, in spite of the factual nature.
i.e. the same reason that Trump was allowed to walk all over the "moderators" at the recent Presidential advertisement "debate".
You know, "journalism" as it seems to always be practiced these days. As in, chase the profits to the exclusion of all other considerations.
Hrm, I wonder if my time spent on social media has made me more hostile to such predatory practices overall...
Trump would like to have a word with you.
My highest karma item has about 200 upvotes. Let's see, theirs... Holy crap I didn't even know the numbers went that high!? 🤗
Preemptive: take what I'm saying with a heavy grain of salt, obviously and as always.
The true liberals will vote Dem no matter what - Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, hell this group would vote for Pete Davidson at this point!
The true conservatives... same, mostly. Unless the liberals advanced someone like Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney, who may be able to chip into that? (This is when we finally stop pretending that liberals have any options in this race, midway between neoliberalism and outright fascism.) Bc just like Dem != liberal, but differently, Repub != Trump-er.
There are probably like 5-100 people in the middle somewhere, but bc they live in swing states somehow determine the course of the entire nation. Would this be a time to be risky and advance AOC - as a young, passionate, genuine person, since the votes of neither liberals nor conservatives are likely to be affected either way? Except the old money probably worries too much that they could not control her, whereas both Trump and Biden have been vetted in this regard.
Okay but... worse than Biden is already doing?
At this point is there anyone, anyone at all, who isn't merely voting for "not Trump" on the "left"?
Conversely, there are a few on the right who actively like Trump.
And there may be a handful of people - in key spots though - who may vote for a younger candidate?
That's the thing: Trump is playing to his base, whenever he is rude. It is unfair that liberals demand more from their candidates than conservatives but that is the way that it is. Knowing this, someone could aim to win, or else they could... not, I guess.
Bernie memes don't need to be seen to be understood. We all arrive at them by congruence with factual statements about the universe, and occasionally someone translates one into pictorial form for our visual edification:-).
It seems to be really well thought out. Like the original meme is nice too:
But would be a lot of paint that would flake off easily so the above design looks like it would work much better for a shirt:-).
Internet search confirmation (bc apparently in this formulation, everything said on the internet is true - isn't that like a prior or something:-D):
Jon Stewart is outstanding, but also this video seems like one of his better ones. Aside from gun issues specifically, part of what makes this great is his calling the for-profit media sources out for their hypocrisy and willful ignorance, and callousness to the lives of innocents including our children.
Originally a light-hearted post poking fun at and doing a survey to gather input, but it has turned into a thought-provoking deeper dive into what it really means to be someone that people would call a "tankie". Note that to some (die-hard conservatives), we all are "tankies" on the Fediverse, but is there a meaning beyond the pejorative of merely "holding a belief that I do not personally agree with"? Come and join the fun, or read about the community consensus even long into the future?
I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml]. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, t...

Lemmy.ml, like lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net, has consistently been accused of improper Federation practices and many instances have decided to ban one or both of the latter by default, with many individual users having already gone further to block the former as well. However, many individual users on lemmy.ml seem unaware of the accusations of the practices of their admins, and some people go so far as to see lemmy.ml as a sort of default instance on the Fediverse.
This discussion promotes wider knowledge of the situation and what might be done about it in the future, in order to e.g. not turn away new potential Federation members (Fedizens?:-) that could otherwise associate what happens on that instance as something relating to the Fediverse as a whole.
A video titled "This Video Will Make You Angry", by CGP Grey, about how memes evolve in the same manner as living organisms, though in this case those most successful tend to be the ones that engender anger in their target audience.
