  • Be very careful with mutual funds in this climate. Most are heavily weighted towards the Mag7 which include some of the most massively overinflated stocks.

  • I moved my stocks into non-US bonds and GICs when the first round of tariffs against us (Canada) happened. At this point I think it'd be a terrible idea to jump ship because you'll realize that loss.

  • Not the hyphen specifically - just a distinct symbol for contractions.

  • George HW Bush: notable woke radical.

  • So you're of the opinion that somehow by making five hundred austerity cuts saving two million dollars each the GOP will shave a trillion from the budget? Is Trump going to increase or decrease the deficit in your mind?

  • The democrats are fiscally conservative. The GOP believes in budget unbalancing tax cuts and are fiscally liberal.

  • I assume they vote liberal or are uncomfortable being seen as the hateful sack of shit they are.

    If we're talking America the parties align like this:

    • Democrat: Socially moderate, fiscally conservative
    • Republican: Socially regressive, fiscally liberal
  • The majority of Americans didn't vote to keep Trump out of office.

  • I'd be cool with that - I don't care how we mark contractions just as long as we stop reusing apostrophes for it.

  • Eh - I thought dash was a pretty reasonable symbol for "There's a contraction here" I don't really care about the actual symbol as long as we stop using the same symbol for contractions and possessives. In my sample It-s would currently be written It's and the it's (a possessive) would be its if that's what you're asking.

    Possessives always get an apostrophe outside of weird exceptions where they clash with contractions. I'm proposing we fix that. Also - let's bring back mass possessions like "At the bake sale Moms' baked goods are always delicious"

  • The inconsistency of apostrophe usage in English for possessives and contractions. If it was instead written...

    It-s a wonderful day out today, take your phone but turn off it's data so you can soak up the clear blue skies.

    It'd be so much fucking easier and my OCD would be satiated.

  • I guess the one piece of good news? (Gosh it's fucking slim) is that if there is a Democratic president in the future they can mandate national voting by mail if the SC doesn't injunction this bullshit.

  • Barring transit delayed mail-in ballots is 100% the way these fucks will steal the next election.

    I hope Vermont doesn't deregister me - thankfully voting administration is done by the individual states so they'll likely push back on the EO but I'm absolutely not going to fly to Burlington to prove my identity in person.

  • Also, the nearest office is three states over.

    So, some good news, when you are forced into an involuntary road trip to get your daughter or granddaughter an abortion you can use verifying your identity to social security as a cover to avoid being deported to El Salvador.

  • Our one glitch is from signal

    Well, and the NRC

    Our two glitches are from signal and laying off people at the NRC

    Oh, there was also the misleading DOGE numbers

    Three! Our three glitches were signal, the NRC, and misleading DOGE numbers.

    And DOGE having a completely unprotected database of course.

    Oh, dash it all.

  • It won't.

  • Actually I do - I'm not certain why I misrecalled the it as FedEx.

  • Fucking corporate media - they mention his ties to the GOP but omit his prior employment with FedEx Ed: Whoops, XPO as a commenter below pointed out.

  • Can you confirm that Trump had a quart of gravy with a side of hollandaise for lunch? During the meal did he indeed steal some of RFK Jr's beef tallow fried clubbed seal to dip in it?
