I guess? Mutually assured destruction is a form of brinkmanship that I’m not sure if I’m comfortable attempting. I won’t judge you for how you choose to defend yourself against this administration but I will say that guns rarely deescalate a situation. I truly hope that ICE or the FBI or whoever actually do back down from more violent actions if they fear for their lives, but I feel like it’s more likely that they will simply engage in greater shows of force. Maybe that will wake more people up to what they’re doing.

I don’t believe in the horse shoe theory except when it comes to gun owners larping about rising up against the government.

Don’t you have a comically tall sandwich to be constructing somewhere?

I don’t blame those who didn’t vote for Kamala for her stance on Israel, I get it. I’m just tired of people who didn’t vote specifically against Trump then act really surprised that the Democrats are putting up an anemic defense of our rights, because in theory they should have expected it, given how they voted. Asking why Democrats aren’t stopping fascism when you ostensibly did not support them because you felt they would not do enough to stop fascism should be readily apparent.

I am not using “you” here as in you, piefood, just as a general you

I mean, “neatly lost” here is a disingenuous phrase for “won”. The 2020 election wasn’t even particularly close either, in terms of the Electoral College, which is unfortunately the only part that really.

I agree with you otherwise, so sorry for the pedantry. Dems should have definitely learned from the midterms, and they should have learned Biden was too old for a second term even before he announced he’d run again.

I’d say I hope they learn from 2024 but I doubt it.

“Literal” has been used metaphorically for emphasis by better writers than you, centuries before you were born. Shut up.

I got laid off about five and a half years ago, at the start of Covid. The meeting was with my manager and his boss (who I was also friendly with). I got a meeting invite and asked if we could push it back an hour so I could drive my wife to work, they said sure. I told my wife on the drive that I was getting laid off. Sure enough, I was. They paid me five weeks severance and gave me resources to file for unemployment. It was due to Covid causing a huge drop in money coming in, which was understandable. Honestly, I didn’t like my job, I had already hired a company to rewrite my resumé. So it worked out. At least my boss and his boss had the spine to do it personally. I’ll always give them credit for that.

I don’t know if you have Kroger near you (or one of their subsidiaries) but the Carbmaster brand they sell is good, and only comes out to 3 grams of carbs per 240ml (8oz glass), which is half of what fairlife has. I started buying it when I got diagnosed diabetic. I don’t eat much cereal anymore but when I do, the milk still tastes good.

God bless ya, I tried drinking unsweetened almond milk after I got diagnosed diabetic and I thought my taste buds stopped working because it tasted like nothing. Not in the way that water “tastes like nothing,” but like, in a way where the only stimulus I got was mouthfeel. It was weird.

Than 35? No, you’re not going to build a new printer from scratch for less than $35, especially if you don’t have another printer to print parts.

Buy a hotend, figure out what you did wrong previously, and fix your machine.

I mean, Montana has lakes and lakes have beaches…

Ah, the perfect reminder that people on Lemmy can be just as big of dipshits as people on reddit were.

I mean, literally not? The meme about Don’t Dead Open Inside was that the words went top to bottom then left to right. This is the opposite. It reads left to right, top to bottom.

There is a difference between talking about sex and gender and something being sexual. If a shopkeeper mentions his husband, I can extrapolate that he’s at least bi, but that doesn’t mean the game is sexual.

Just use Landrop like a normal person

Can’t wait to see how the conservative majority on the supreme court bends over backwards to say their ruling that said Presidents can do anything they want doesn’t actually apply to the black one.

No, the magnets are just as dangerous when scans aren’t happening. They are always on.

You really should read down to the bottom of that article, where it says that businesses are allowed to set the terms of what forms of payment they’ll accept as long as they do so before the deal is made or the sale is done. Your own source contradicts what you said.

Don’t quit your day job to start giving people legal advice.

Bees literally do not use hexagons, they make roughly round shapes and the force of the surrounding cells compresses them into hexagons. This is called self-organization and it’s observable in bubbles as well.
