That’s objectively bullshit.

The only other option is trump. Are you trying to get people to vote for trump? If so, why?

I don’t disagree. But we’re living in interesting times.

I don’t like most of the people on the ticket I’ll be given in November, but you know what’s objectively worse? Actual fascism. Fascism always ends in genocide, and these white Christian nationalists aren’t even trying to hide it, going mask-off even before they have the power to back it up.

When fascists can be this bold and still keep their seats of power, that’s quite worrying.

As I saw someone say earlier, we’re in democracy triage.

I’d vote for Biden’s corpse before trump or not voting. We must wrest all power from the fascists before we can squabble about who’s more left.

I hope people stop believing the bullshit that’s trying to get progressives to not vote or to vote for 3rd parties. Progressives absolutely can win democrat tickets, and that’s exactly why there’s so much propaganda trying to convince people otherwise. Progressives have a lot of political power right now, and the whole system can swing left if people don’t just give up. Progressives giving up is the only play the right has.

Five people here think Nazi business is fine. Yikes.

e: wait, 6.

e2: hey guys! Lemmy doesn’t have vote fuzzing yet! (just noticing. there’s no conspiracy here … or is there?)

I was being mostly facetious (I’m not originally from either place, but I lived in Florida for a while and live in Michigan now).

Wait. We’re unironically calling social media for women Giggle and then we’re surprised it might be sexist? April first was like a week ago…

If you’re from Michigan but living in Florida, you, sir, are a moron. I barely care about jurisdictional laws you’re breaking; your lack of judgement is already disqualifying. To be so close to Canada and choosing to spend time tucked beneath America’s ballsack is in very poor taste.

Once you’re old enough, there’s no difference. My doctor’s admin keeps calling me to schedule a colonoscopy, and we’ve been playing phone tag. That’s the closest I’ve come to foreplay in years.

These people think it’s the 1600s. Fucking medievals.

Some caravanserai had libraries

I’m feeling a major drive to watch Avatar again.

Most of us don’t want to till fields and milk cows, and we’d rather trade things like iPhones with people who are cool with shovelling cow shit.

I know, that’s surprising. We’ve only been trading like that for a few hundred thousand years. Fucking millennials.

The definition of ‘woke’ is ‘having social empathy’ so no, he’s entirely incapable of that.

“traditional” rule of law

Wherein white men aren’t held to account and you can buy your own justice with enough money.

Wherein women who are victims are told to shut up lest their own reputations are ruined for accusing any white men.

Yeah. That’s what we should strive for. /hard S

Good. Fuck this paedophile fascist and all his fascist buddies.

I wish hell was real so he could rot in it, but I’ll settle for the rest of his life being ruined, his fortunes forfeit, and hopefully some jail time.

I also urge any of the young women he’s abused to come forward. I know that’s very hard, believe me, but this bastard needs to be held to account in every way possible. You will have support.

It doesn’t have to be in the name, just in the ingredients list. In this case it is, so it’s perfectly above-board for the US.

It seems not to be as well known as I thought, but most commercial honey sold in the US is not actually honey:

But the honey industry is hiding a secret. There’s a high chance that your store-bought honey is fake. While fake honey usually includes some amount of real honey, it is often mixed with other corn, rice, or sugar cane syrup to reduce its cost. These fillers are far cheaper than raw honey and are used to produce more honey, quicker. In fact, up to 76% of honey sold in the US is not really honey, at least not entirely.

There were a bunch of stories about this several years ago after a minor controversy, but it didn’t stay in the news long, so I guess it fell out of public consciousness.

If you want real honey, you’ll want to buy from small, local dealers.

It’s definitely black. It has a bit of sheen and looks dark blue in the photo because of that.

Thank you. I’m sorry for your loss, too.

It does not. It’s paper, with a bit of a sheen.

I think the suggestions it’s an inventory sticker that was accidentally included make the most sense.

I’m so sorry. That’s really hard. I hope you’re okay.
