I assume it was just named after r/politics - like most of the other communities here during the migration.

If the only piece of advice on how to live you get from a religion is “Stay alive as long as you can!” That’s still better than a lot of the rest of them.

RIP

I haven’t opened the link yet, but I assume OP means Signal to noise ratio. (Specifically the ‘Other uses’ section if it didn’t jump there)

Another thing that’s barely on the chart: Foreign Policy, some fraction of which would be the genocide.

It just wasn’t the influential issue that much of Lemmy wished it were, and clearly not the reason Harris lost.

I read elsewhere that the pension was specifically not included, but the rest of the package sure sounds to me like a good deal in the headlines.

I know a Boeing employee, I’ll have to ask them about their take on it when I get a chance.

Doesn’t make them wrong.

Even Nate Silver just turned off his model tonight because it was still showing Harris ahead when she very obviously wasn’t.

The implied part is ‘rich’. It isn’t a guarantee.

You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon

There’s also a restaurant chain which is also named Dick’s

The “Eat some Dick’s” jokes write themselves.

In the US, “estates” sounds vaguely wealthy. For example, a fancy garage sale is an Estate Sale (which kinda implies a rich person died and this is their estate being liquidated.)

Why’d you have to call me out like that with those first three?

(Seriously, not keeping stuff is so difficult. It’s a strain on my marriage and I wish I could just flip a switch and not feel that instinct)

On a large enough clock, the hour hand could have easily visible marks for not just minutes, but also seconds. If I were an architect or whatever I would try to make that the floor of a lobby or something.

What is this, a magnification for ants?

I’m surprised it’s not by Eiffel.

1. That’s exactly the same thing and you know it and she knows it.

2. True, but all 3rd party candidates who are running in the general election are there to be a spoiler. Even RFK jr. dropped out and dropped the mask as soon as he realized he was spoiling the wrong side.

3. You’re right that she’s not campaigning for de la Cruz, but she still said the quiet part out loud about supporting 3rd party candidates in general. (And Sawant uses the word socialist to describe herself regardless of specific party, I hadn’t realized that she wasn’t in the main one, thank you. That’s why I used ‘one of them’ incorrectly.)

Yup. Their goal is to help elect Trump. One of them a self-described socialist who supports Jill Stein from my state even said so outright.

Edit: looks like some of you might not believe me. Here.

And here’s a more direct source, but it has a paywall.

(Edited for accuracy)

I assume a novelization.

Yup. Kids are jumpy alright. I expect to see a lot more of them this evening.

I think a good author makes it explicit.

Here’s a sci-fi web novel I read years ago, where a couple of the characters end up being immortal in different ways, and in one case they show exactly how far that can go (in the context of the story) even without invoking heat death.
