  • Democrats Are Serious About a Shutdown

    Jump

  • To your first point, there is a high likelyhood that the GOP will defund the programs the Dems want to keep anyway, or they will get DOGEd after the fact.

    They can not expect promises to maintain social safety nets to be kept, so why bother trying to work with the right, let them get a taste of their own obstructionist excriment.

  • I did not expect this much detail on this topic. There were discussions about detergents and such in another thread. And the logic is exactly the same.

    Dont ship water.

    (This needs to go in a Lemmy hall of fame)

  • Trump melts down in deranged rant during Zelenskiy meeting

    Jump

  • We get it (and deserve it), but your preaching to the choir. The US residents of Lemmy are usually either socially active net-izens who are very aware of, and trying to act against of the shitshow unfolding in what ways they can, or fringe groups (see the tankie instances) who have been thrown off of enough mainstream platforms that they had to go make their own.

    Once todays vent session is done, we should focus on keeping constructive posts visible and discussed. (Stuff individuals or small groups can do to help our firends on the other side of the pond and ideas to try and course correct shit stateside)

    Im just trying to not be too pesimistic...

  • Do you know anyone in real life that uses Lemmy?

    Jump

  • My immediate meat-space circles are aware of it and have stopped asking me WTH is wrong with my meme links in the group chats.

    I do not believe anyone else has an account.

  • Is there an authoritative BEST secure messaging app for my phone? Is it Signal? It's hard to keep up?

    Jump

  • If self-hosting and "Warning, some assembly required" isnt an issue, Matrix - Synapse. I spooled that up in my home lab recently and im slowly moving my group chats over to it.

  • Quoting Napoleon, Trump Openly Declares He's Above the Law.

    Jump

  • Well, go down the list of succession. How far down do we need to go to have someone capable of thinking and breathing at the same time? We all knew Vance was an insurance policy, he would need to be included, or atleast have his impeachment drafted when the ink on Darth Cheeto's dries.

  • Hypothetical generosity is easy

    Jump

  • That is some grade-A old-Reddit shitposting and I approve of the reference.

  • Bill Burr calls on 'billionaires to be put down like rabid dogs' in podcast

    Jump

  • Salty with a hint of Carlin.

    He got very tired of peoples BS towards the end of his career, I hope Burr can keep up the energy, we sorta need it right now.

  • Democrats turn first DOGE hearing into an Elon Musk roast

    Jump

  • Its been three weeks... Three very long weeks...

  • Bill requiring posting, teaching of Ten Commandments fails in South Dakota House

    Jump

  • Oh, good idea, which part? /s The part about the brutal indoctrination of the indiginous peoples in the new world, the part with the papacy in Rome was a bought position and caused war and strife in Europe for centuries, the crusades [checks notes] plural... "gosh yall did a lot of them", or the more recent pedo stuff.

    Which part of history of organizations and groups that use the bible as a core text should more people learn about?

    (Apologies if that came off as too harsh, I have reasons to take issue with that point of view. If you want to truly debate this topic, feel free to DM me, be sure to bring your references. Also you seem to have just joined Lemmy, if you have site questions, feel free to ask as well, the community is actually quite decent.)

  • Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months

  • Use a third party app like New Pipe, if your on a fruit phone... you unfortunatly cant side load apps, I dont have an answer...

  • The US Treasury Claimed DOGE Technologist Didn’t Have ‘Write Access’ When He Actually Did

    Jump

  • Then lets hope their paychecks in Dogecoin are worth retiring on. (Apologies internet, im really just being extra cynical today)

  • The US Treasury Claimed DOGE Technologist Didn’t Have ‘Write Access’ When He Actually Did

  • Then make 47 write the pardon, let it be a scarlet letter to never let this person work in tech again. Congrats 24 year old inter, your career is over when this administration is.

  • To Americans of Lemmy: What food item(s) from Europe can you not live without?

    Jump

  • Most of it... Last trip I took to Europe, I was staying in an airB&B in Iceland with a few friends, and it had a kitchen. I went to the Bonus (local grocer) and got bread, cheese, eggs, and butter and made a simple fried egg sandwich for breakfast every day. Best damn food ive ever made for myself.

    We dont have good cheap bread state side, cheese product is most of whats on the shelves and Euro eggs were just better. It took about a week after coming home for random food items to stop tasting like plastic...

  • Is the fediverse the only fediverse?

    Jump

  • I understood that reference.

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lays out battle plan against 'shockingly dim' Trump White House

    Jump

  • DOGE is not prudent or nessessary, its "we have tried nothing and were all out of ideas". There has not been a proper budget in decades, we do not give the IRS the resources to go after wealthy tax evaders and we keep giving tax breaks to those least in need of them...

    Both parties have failed at gaining the political will to fix anything and now that the scales are tipped in the GOPs favor, they alone opt to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

  • What's the longest you've gone without eating?

    Jump

  • Woof, those choper rides aint cheap. That is exactly why all the signs/books/guides say "dont go past this point, unless you know what your doing" and "only stupid people do the rim to river and back in a day". My folks and I did that last one back in the day, it was fun, but dont try it (seriously dont). It took us 20 hours and almost didnt make it back before sunset.

    The best part of that hike is thanks to my mother, who froze an extra water bottle and hid it in each of our bags before we set out at sunrise. We are hiking back on the bright angel trail and get to the waysation half way up and find it. Its 3PM, at the height of summer in the grand canyon, and my father and I are sitting around drinking ice water, I have never see more envious hikers in my life.
