51·3 hours agoBiden’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.
Look at the complaints about the Afghanistan evacuation. It was COMPLETELY fucked up and fucked up in ways that were 100% self inflicted.
People tried to tell him, Guam offered to help evacuate civilians, it was all denied under the black and white premise of “Well, we can’t stay, we have to get out, what do you want from me?”
Nobody is saying “stay”, we’re saying look at the order of operations. Can we please get all the civilians out first? Apparently nobody thought of that. Can we not leave behind any usable gear for the Taliban to take over? Yeah, nobody thought of that either.
Look at the complaints about inflation and the economy. Outright denial there was even a problem. Clinton could have told him “It’s the economy, stupid!” Biden? “What are you talking about, Jack? We have the best economy in the world! In… the… WOOOOORRLLLLD!”
I don’t think she even knows what she wants. If she didn’t want it to pass, she had her chance to kill it.
Republican is going to Republican I guess…
2·1 day agoI would imagine the dust component is incredibly dangerous too! It’s been a while now, but when I was a kid, grain silo explosions were pretty regular:

3·1 day agoNot really “News”, but it’s sufficiently “World” so I’ll allow it.
I’m not even sure where I’d re-direct you if I did remove it. !entertainment@beehaw.org ? !entertainment@lemmy.world ? !music@lemmy.world ?
We don’t allow editorialized headlines. If you fix it, we can restore it.
“Paramount to pay Trump $16m to settle 60 Minutes lawsuit”
Because the Senate passed it via reconciliation to avoid the filibuster, if the House rejects it, it goes back to the Senate to be re-formulated into something more acceptable to the House.
We’ll know more when the House votes on it. It may be House members will demand certain things be added or removed.
But then whatever changes have to be re-voted on in the Senate, so she’d have a SECOND chance to vote “No” while still voting “Yes”.
As usual, lots of rumor and speculation. Some folks were saying it was a plane crash (which was debunked). Some are saying arson, but we just don’t know yet.
But come on, it’s a fireworks warehouse… Probably wouldn’t take much…
For those who missed it:

“Republican Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday that despite voting in favor of the sweeping tax and spending package, she wants the House to return the “One Big Beautiful Bill” to the Senate for further work.”

“The vote was 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie. Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina joined Democrats and voted no.”
Heeeyyy… that’s not fair! We also ruin aquatic environments and national wildlife refuges too! ;)
As they dig their claws into your leg to better launch themselves off the bed…
2·1 day agoFor point 1, this sounds like a class action waiting to happen.
You buy a Nintendo console, Nintendo says you broke the rules and bans that console, now non-Nintendo games won’t work on it because it’s banned from reaching online services.

Bitch, you HAD your chance to vote “No” and you voted “Yes”.

“The vote was 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie. Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina joined Democrats and voted no.”
All it would have taken was Murkowski’s vote to kill it and she FAILED.
Indirect stuff I generally let slide, other mods may or may not. Plausible deniability and all that.
But yes, the videos some other communities allow showing drone attacks on Russian soldiers, cheering when people get killed? We’d remove those.
Of course a top level post would be removed because we don’t allow video posts, but as a comment, I’d remove those too.
2·1 day agoWow! I had no idea that was even possible for a 3 year old! Glad she’s OK!
Absolutely correct. No wishing death on ANYONE.
The hardest one was when Henry Kissinger died, because, well, Henry Kissinger. LOL. Lots of reminders of “No celebrating death”, but I mean, it WAS Kissinger.
That sounds kind of scary, did they actually get to the bottom of what happened or was it just “Hey, she can eat toast now, you’re free to go!”
“2124-4508”
I’m going to spoiler tag all the Nintendo legal-ese because it’s A LOT.
It boils down to this console is banned from logging in online. So a couple of questions:
-
Do you HAVE to be online to play Switch 2 games?
-
If the ban is correct for user violations, why ban the hardware? Why not ban the account?
spoiler
You’re unable to connect to an online service and you receive the error code 2124-4007 or 2124-4508.
You receive the error message “The use of online services on this console is currently restricted by Nintendo.”
What to do:
This error code indicates that the Nintendo Switch console you are using has been permanently banned from connecting to the internet due to a breach of the user agreements.
A breach of user agreements may include, but is not limited to, activities such as:
Fraudulent or unauthorized transactions

Again, nothing to do with genocide or anything outside the group. If you come here suggesting people deserve to be killed, you’re not going to find receptive moderation.
Oh, I am not defending genocide. That has absolutely nothing to do with it.
I’m defending the rules of this community, which you’re ALSO violating. Rule 6.
Yeah, it passed. 218 to 214. Republicans only lost 2 votes. They could have afforded to lose 3.
