Iirc for the US government to consider you disabled due to vision, your GOOD eye has to be 20/200 or worse.

So yeah if you only have one eye and you can barely read the giant E at the top of the vision chart, sorry!

It is if you take it seriously rather than as a parody of the modern version of FWD:FWD:Re:FWD:.

Yeah you’re right, unfortunately.

+1 TO BIDEN POPULAR VOTES = +1 TO TRUMP TEARS 💦

Share if you believe! 🙏

Yep. I see that as a reason to treat people with grace and compassion, especially the innocent and disadvantaged.

And just to be clear, actual terrorists are in no way innocents. That is not who I am talking about. Nor am I arguing for pacifism.

America #1 in sharing

U-S-A!

Thomas and Alito retire and suddenly go on incredible vacations.

It just thinks you’re a garden variety redneck.

The “every accusation is a confession” rule suggests that he was on some meds to help him keep his composure. Definitely not any truth serums though.

What if you were born in the wrong place and your family got gunned down or buried under rubble because the enemy thought a hostage (or their dead body) was in a building at the end of your street?

You can’t always assume you’re the one who is both on a righteous quest and in possession of superior firepower.

Iirc, didn’t he give Trump a much higher chance of winning than other outlets, even though it was still a small chance compared to Hillary?

Those of us who pay attention and give a shit would vote for her, but Biden (or what’s left of him) already has our votes whether we like it or not.

But for the people who are disconnected or ignorant enough that they aren’t already itching to vote against Trump? They can be influenced by the dumbest things.

I personally agree that one of those two being President would be great.

But then I think of the cold hard reality of who I share this country with. All the people out there who, in the face of Trump being Trump, can somehow be undecided or unlikely to vote. They just don’t seem like the type to get off their ass for somebody who will be characterized as extreme.

We here know they aren’t extremists. We know they’re basically centrists within the larger civilized world. But ignorance is a huge part of the problem for the US voters who are indifferent enough towards Trump that they aren’t already lining up to vote for Biden or anybody who takes his place.

C’mon baby you know you like our big throbbing F-22s and aircraft carriers!

Seriously though, if we manage to reelect the criminal and he pulls us out of NATO, I trust you guys to keep it running.

I’ll sign this pact too.

Once I’m into the top 1000 net worths on earth (practically a given to happen), I’ll just retire.

If my valuable assets force me into the top 100 (more likely than not), I’ll hire somebody to find good charities to prop up.

If I stumble into the top 10 billion/trillion-aires, go ahead and do what you gotta do and remind my widow to do nice things with the estate.

People are certainly susceptible to Rosy Retrospection, but let’s not forget that 2023’s word of the year was enshittification for a reason!

I’m glad I got caught up in the great exodus when they fucked over the 3rd party app devs. I’d read Reddit with Apollo, and it was mostly passive consumption of the posts and discussions being thrown out there by the faceless masses.

Here, it feels more like having actual discussions with real people, and I started actively participating right away. (Granted, this place isn’t impervious to bots and trolls, but for now it’s a smaller target at least)

I think you’re probably right, but I also suspect that the upvote button avoids a lot of “this” and “you are so right” replies burying the substantive ones. It’s certainly kept me from making low value or redundant replies in the past.

It’s also interesting to occasionally scroll though my post history and see which comments struck a nerve with fellow lemmings. It’s a secondary simplified version of the social interactions and discussions here.

Sounds like one of those rare cases where engineering and marketing might agree on something.

Have you tried Linux Mint yet?

I recently installed it on a Dell laptop (work) to dual boot, and it seemed pretty much as simple as installing windows.

I’m a daily Linux user and had been using other distros in VMs, but I still wanted to try it.
