Also my co-workers and conservative family love to say it whenever a Republican does something illegal or immoral. It's a scape goat they throw out when they get backed into a corner and can't face the fact that they're wrong.

That's what I'm thinking too. Because to say that Putin has something on Trump at this point, is in some ways taking agency away from Trump. But I think Trump and the other Putin lovers are terrible enough people on their own. He doesn't need to have any dirt on them, they just want to work with him because they think he's doing well for himself, and they want that kind of power too. It feels like a much simpler explanation.

It makes me think Putin doesn't actually have anything on Trump and the other Russia loving Republicans. They just really like him and are envious of his authoritarian regime.

I think if your friends are coming to you and asking for help, then you're in the clear. Part of being a know-it-all/mansplaining, is that nobody asked and they decided they needed to bestow that information onto others.

This makes me wonder how far away a night launch of Starship will be visible.

I don't know if I turned off notifications, or if they're off by default in Kbin. But I didn't see this until now and I just wanted to say thanks.

You obviously should have had your accountant checking your loan status weekly. IMO it's really your fault 🤷‍♂️.

Not only had they previously been here, they evolved here first and migrated out through Siberia when it still connected the continents.

Beautiful poem, thanks for sharing. How about one about sprouting seeds?

I work at a wholesale perennial grower, normally just doing plant care. But this week I've been running the vacuum seed machine. Every time I take trays out to the greenhouse I get to walk through the millions of seedlings and it's just had me giddy all week.

I think the people in positions of power are doing it intentionally. Their followers however are delusional.

This article is misleading. If a car crash is bad enough that it damages the frame of a car, it's going to get totalled anyway. So either way it's going to go to a junk yard and get slowly parted out.

My thoughts are similar to yours, I don’t think instances should be defederating unless there’s a serious issue with the content of another instance.

Good instances should be winning over people by being better than whatever Facebook’s ad ridden, algorithm driven, instance ends up being.
