Refugee from another, less-friendly instance. Please forgive the youth of my account— I’ve actually been around here for a while. Still, glad to be here!

  • Devs that are punching above their class, however, probably get great benefit from it. I would think it’s also an OK learning tool, except for how inaccurate it can be sometimes.

  • New Yorker’s ‘Social Media Is Killing Kids’ Article Waits 71 Paragraphs To Admit Evidence Doesn’t Support The Premise

    Jump

  • That’s particularly scummy of the New Yorker, what I used to think was a pretty great publication.

    Although it is true that social media is not good for children, I’m sure it’s not actually killing them.

  • All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch

  • Foldable phones look and work like shit. Not a shock that Apple wants nothing to do with a silly fad— not until it’s worth it for them.

    JD Vance roasted online after accidentally misgendering himself during rally

    Jump

  • I get the “pointing out that he’s a hypocrite” angle, but, even as a proud gay man, I feel like laughing at this just legitimizes the kind of jeers and bullying people like JD Vance traffic on. Like prison rape jokes.

    No. No to that, and no to letting them control the narrative even when they’re losing.

    Misgendering a person is a microaggression - or just aggression - and there’s nothing funny about it. Not even when the butt of the joke is someone you hate.

    No!

  • Eric Adams Never Had a Mandate

  • It was several years ago, and I’m still really pissed about it

  • Oh, shit— this is what I get for commenting when I’m half-awake— you are correct! Thanks so much for the fact check! I’ve edited my previous comment. (Oops!)

  • Eric Adams Never Had a Mandate

    Jump

  • The only reason he ended up the Democratic nominee is because New York City voters did not understand ranked choice voting during the primary. It was the first year it was instituted, and there was absolutely no public education campaign to teach people what the hell it was or how it worked.

    Kathryn Garcia should’ve been the nominee, and nearly was. Had she been, she would have won easily. and considering the campaign finance violations, Eric Adams committed, it’s no wonder he had an advantage.

    She was my number one vote. I was so so angry when she didn’t win the primary. And I really had to hold my nose to vote for Eric Adams. Everyone knew he was a piece of shit at the top of the election, but he was a lot better than Curtis Silwa.

    Edit: Michelle Gomez -> Kathryn Garcia — sorry for that half-awake mistake!

  • Helps when the pig is both extremely popular already, and the pig’s opponent is… lol.. well, JD Vance lmao

    Seriously, the guy lost a debate against the opening staff at a donut shop. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

  • Oh, how splendid!

  • CBS News says it will be up to Vance and Walz to fact-check each other in veep debate

    Jump

  • The fucked up part is that, since you can’t get cheaper than Trump, the knockoff is actually more expensive. Worse, Vance is also (somehow), dumber, poorer, less-popular, and more insecure. He’s also - unbelievably- worse with interactions with the public and with public speaking.

    And we’re about to find out how bad he is at debate against a real politician.

  • CBS News says it will be up to Vance and Walz to fact-check each other in veep debate

    Jump

  • Well, it’ll probably be more policy-focused than anything with Trump, which is always just a clown show because Trump only knows how to be a clown. Vance will, at least, try to debate Walz, but it will quickly just be a timed trading of canned campaign jabs. How each plays it will be interesting to see, and - personally - I think it will be fascinating for 3 reasons:

    1. again, Vance’s relative terribleness vs Walz’s very goodness will be awesome to watch. Walz will kick Vance’s ass easily
    2. more than that, this debate will be far more substantive than the last debate, which was, basically, Kamala baiting Trump into crazy-shouting one crazy lie after another while Kamala just laughed and laughed.
    3. Tim Walz is, quite possibly, the most lovable guy to ever exist. JD Vance is, quite possibly, a new form of venerial disease.

    Jump

  • Vance isn’t much of a public speaker, and, up against a debate opponent like Walz (who is a great public speaker), Vance is pretty much fucked. He won’t have much of a defense but to pivot when confronted, and Walz is both clever and persistent. He’s also extremely charming, which Vance extremely isn’t, lol.

    Jump

  • Vance isn’t Trump. He’s a wet noodle who can barely work his way through a sentence. Walz is an adorable teddy bear with claws.

    It’ll be the cutest bloodbath we’ve ever seen, and we’ll all laugh about how the old guy from Minnesota made the dude wearing eyeliner get scared of giving trans school kids free lunches.

    Edit: I can’t wait!
