Every republican who voted to send weapons to Israel is complicit as well.

Social media is bad, but it's worse when gamed and algorithms feed you shit. At least Lemmy lets you federated and it isn't commercial.

As a native Seattleite, I try my best to at least acknowledge people with a head bob. Sometimes I'm not feeling a conversation and just try to shut it down quickly.

"Your dog is beautiful!" "Oh yeah, haha, she's a good girl." - and keep walking

I disagree that leaving things unsaid is the best approach to online discussion, especially when it comes to soundbite level social media like Lemmy and Reddit. Doing this puts forth the position that only one thing needs to be said, which is underhanded and intellectually dishonest.

You're absolutely right that both mainstream parties in the US are closely related in policy, so it is a failure of those arguing against the Israeli genocide to not call this what it is: a governmental policy problem, not a single party problem. Saying "democrat bad, support Israeli genocide" while ignoring the opposite party just because it is not in power is a failure to point out the root cause of the issue. If we don't want to support any genocide, we need to make sure that no matter what party is in power, it doesn't happen.

I'll ignore the fact that you disagree with their economic policies for now and continue to focus on the fact that this is a systematic issue, not one that is beholden to one party or the other.

I'm not defending their actions. I'm pointing out that there are those that astroturf social media that -only ever point out the negatives of one major political party while completely ignoring the other-.

So since you seem to be reasonable despite your satire and snark, what do you think about the Republicans and how they would handle the ongoing genocide?

Or will you prove my point again for me?

There are certain actors on Lemmy that I'm betting will disappear after the presidential election cycle or significantly pull back their posting.

Basically fanning the flames of "democrat bad, support israel genocide" while also saying "republican not in power, can't blame them!". Genocide is terrible no matter who does it and we shouldn't pretend Republicans would be any better. In all likelihood, they would be worse.

Venetian Conference center?

BOE 2025

Last I checked in there some of the posters had a hard right slant. It's not all of them, but enough to leave a bad taste in your mouth.

As much as I hate linking to it, you could probably find out by asking in the defcon warning system forums.

When I was younger I stopped by QFC and got a cup of chicken noodle soup. For whatever reason, I just couldn't wait to eat it when I got home. I straddled straddled wheel with my elbows while eating it with a spoon while on the highway going 60. I am not sure if I should be alive at this point.

Crono Trigger is a real gem for an early SNES RPG. Highly recommend.

My cat is named Apollo, but we typically just call him Pollo. He is a chicken cat, of course.

I'm wondering how exactly it will be enforced. Not only that, but it looks like it would just shuffle these people to other areas of the city.

Low quality shitpost

Ok so that in itself is weird. Let's also remember these project 2025 people want to ban pornography everywhere, so it could be him trying to find an example of extreme porn to be like "look at the stuff your children can find!"

This seems like a Bojack Horseman reference

So there actually is a character in the Netflix show Big Mouth that fucks his couch cushions. Might be a good parody to consider

Not sure why there's a nuclear fireball in the background?

I called him out and they said at some point "What makes you think I'm not a US citizen?"

Despite not being wrong about the situation in Gaza, when you post content exclusively on one topic and refuse to acknowledge both political parties will be equally as bad at handling it - you can see an agenda forming.

I did this for a certain linker of baans manually. I am pretty sure they are at least not a US citizen

Here I am giving comments about my feces and how I love my bidet.

Am I weird or

If you look at what I've posted previously, you can see I post more center-left content that anything else. There have been several stores shuttered recently in downtown and Saks is just the latest.

If this same question had been posed from the Seattle Times, what would your answer have been?

My vote is it's easier for people to buy online without the hassle for going to a brick and mortar store, but I could be mistaken.

Yup that's my guess too

People have no attention span these days. Our media has trained us to move on quickly to the next thing. They will probably only cover it if someone makes a spectacle of it like Trump does.

I submit links and link accessories, just like Hank Hill would have

I had my gallbladder taken out years ago, so my feces is not as solid as most people's. The TP is to scrape what the bidet doesn't get, and the towels are only for drying, not for wiping up shit (I don't want to put shit in my washing machine). I use about 75-80% less toilet paper than I did before and my ass is cleaner.

I had a fixed bidet and it got water all over. I switches to a wand style bidet and it was a fucking game changer. I can focus specifically on where I want and my ass is clean, even after Chipotle lunches.

I ended up getting a bunch of small towels and a bucket. So I rinse, dry my cheeks with a small towel, wipe with two squares of TP, then dry again with the towel and toss it in a bucket for washing with my regular towels.

I said the same thing the other day. They don't care. They just want results. It could be a ham sandwich that is starting to mold, and if the ham sandwich got the same results, there would be morons out there wearing ham sandwich hats.

Were you being paid to watch that episode of The IT Crowd where they call French tech support?

Found the single issue voter

I'm fairly certain there's a bit of extra detail under the yolk that looks like a necklace as well.

I mean they indicate as such if you read the article...

Surprise, surprise. Bank who wants infinite growth of stock prices tells companies to lower costs to be more competitive. Guess where that will come from?

Either quality or labor costs. It isn't coming from the CEO's pockets.

Hooray doom news!

Did they? I blocked his dumb ass after nonstop political astroturfing posts

CLASSIC LINKERBAAN

Take the L, losers

So you think she has a chance of winning?
