when I learned

You didn't learn anything...

You saw a random social media post and instantly believed what it said

What the fuck is wrong with people?

This isn't a win

Biden’s primary problem was that he could not comprehend where the criticism was coming from and would re-frame it in such a way as to absolve responsibility.

Because he has the mind of an 80 year old...

Everyone around him was either taking advantage of him or complicit in what was happening.

We can't keep pretending the normal biological effects of aging aren't real. And because the way it affects, we're usually the last ones to notice it's happening.

Other people have to be able to make the call. It doesn't matter if it's polite, sometimes grandpa doesn't get to keep the car keys.

This is the first time the price has changed from $200 in almost a century...

If it had been adjusted for inflation a stamp would be 3k today.

What's likely to happen is now that it's $0 they call into the legality of the registry. Before the rational was that it was necessary to track who paid, because tracking the ownership wasn't legal.

If they're not completely removed, there's nothing stopping it from being changed again later.

I don't see a reason for suppressors to be more regulated than guns, and with "pistol" loopholes SBR regulation doesn't make much sense either.

We need to completely redo our gun laws from the ground up. None of the current system makes sense, but that doesn't mean we get rid of it, just replace it with something that actual works.

Even just a primary...

Your pick comes in second place, if you get the one from your own party that made it to the general, your first pick is now guaranteed the office.

Like, great sentiment, but I think the reason it works in the UK, is 99.99% of the population can't get a high powered rifle in an afternoon.

… Isn’t wanting to kill someone with vastly different views more common than wanting to kill someone with only slightly different views?

Literally two Republicans tried to kill the Republican presidential candidate in the last year...

You really can't imagine a world where someone believes the candidate from their party is either too extreme or not extreme enough on a wedge issue that they'd try to kill them to guarantee someone else from the same party wins?

Like...

I overestimate people, I can admit that

But do you legitimately just not understand why this is bad?

It lets people know violence cannot change the balance of power

No it doesn't.

Say you support party A, which politician B is a member of. Politician B doesn't agree exactly with you though. And you don't like that.

So if you merc the candidate you don't agree with for the party you support, their runner up (who you preferred anyways) runs unopposed and is guaranteed to win even if everyone hates them.

Even if it's not intentional, just handing the election off is incredibly fucked up.

Why the fuck would anyone support this after understanding what it means?

  1. How is this humor?

  2. How racist are you to keep making this neverending parade of accounts?

Cyberpunk had bugs, for loads of people ground reaking bugs.

But I got it on PC launch and didn't really notice anything bad after tweaking settings.

Mindsete (from what I've seen) doesn't even have good bones, everything is shit except cutscenes visuals and the content of what they're saying sucks.

I don't know how they could save this without turning it into a brand new game

Fuck Conway

https://www.newsweek.com/george-conway-defends-biden-says-trumps-gaffes-could-make-5-hour-clip-1868731

He thought Biden was fine, he's obviously not an expert on cognitive abilities.

Like, he might be right about trump now, but so are lots of people who weren't pulling the same shit for the last president.

There is zero reason to give Conway any attention. If you want to find someone saying trump is insane, that's not a very shallow selection pool, you can be more discerning

[–] [email protected] 26 points 14 hours ago

There's a nonzero chance they know what it takes to get a trump pardon...

Which trump would be very smart to do in this case because then other trumpets who have a detained family member are more likely to double down hoping it works.

Vance would be smart enough to do that, Trump's a fucking idiot and wont

Dudes really talented too if you haven't listened to them yet:

From 4/24/25, but hadn't heard about it:

Today, DNC Chair Ken Martin and ASDC President Jane Kleeb announced a historic “organize everywhere, win anywhere” strategy – a new four-year agreement to deliver more resources into Democratic state and territory parties than ever before – delivering on Chair Martin’s commitment to turbocharging investments in on-the-ground organizing and party building. Under the new State Partnership Program (SPP) agreement, each state party will receive a baseline of $17,500 a month, a $5,000 per month increase over the last agreement, and Republican-controlled states will receive an additional investment of $5,000 a month through the DNC’s Red State Fund, putting their total at $22,500 every month. The combined investments total a monthly transfer of more than $1 million from the DNC to state parties – the committee’s largest investment into Democratic state parties in history

 

Video on how depression isnt always a personal problem. Sometimes it's a rational response to the resource scarce reality we live in

 

“Since the public can’t see or hear what’s happening in federal court firsthand, we’re using cutting-edge AI tools to bring these important proceedings to life, based entirely on official transcripts,” said Law&Crime President Rachel Stockman. “This is a pivotal moment in both popular culture and justice, and our goal is to provide accurate, transparent access to what’s actually being said in that courtroom.”

There's two "full time" Lemmy developers, and one of them just added a repeating dialog box that will pop up regardless of instance asking for money to be sent to his and another lemmy.ml admin's personal accounts as a salary.

There's an issue where trolls will "@" people who blocked them because it will still send a notification.

Sometimes it's just people who always do it, so it's likely unintentional.

But it's pretty obvious from a post history glance when they're only doing it with people who never respond to them. And definitely obvious after someone tells them about it

Example:

https://lemmy.world/comment/15711438

Is there anyway to make mention notification abide by the blocklist?

If not should we be reporting harassment to our admins or the admins of the account doing it?

 
 

Somewhat satire, somewhat actual investigation.

Pretty much same vibes as the Daily Show

 

But Gemma is dead.

I think the car accident left Gemma either braindead or with serious brain damage. She's not really "severed" like the main characters, or possibly when not she goes back into a coma. But the Gemma who was married to Mark is gone for good. This season will be about finding that out.

Then season 3 (just began filming) will have Ms Casey becoming her own person while Mark and Hella ride off into the sunset.
