Take a bunch of sheltered early 20th century peasants and tell them they are the best soldiers in the world. Send them off to war with instructions to kill one of two groups of people that look the same, sound the same, dress the same and carry the same weapons. They were never meant to survive.
I need to know that Dan and Jordan will get access to the desk.
That’s certainly one way to read it. Except you don’t know anything else about me. The problem isn’t the interest in other identities. The problem is the complete clusterfuck of identities presented in that headline. Each additional descriptor narrows down the field of people it’s talking about until you end up with n=1. It’s so incredibly niche that most people, including myself, can’t even picture what must be going on in the heads of these people. Maybe if there was a poster child that would help. But it would take a 30 minute podcast interview to delve into all of those aspects and help it all make sense. Just trying to square the religion plus anarchy section makes the brain hurt. And then we get more niche after that.
Each day on Lemmy I scroll and scroll and then I reach a headline where after reading it I have to parse what it says. And then I realize it’s gibberish. And then I realize it’s the bottom of the feed and what I’m reading has a negative score.
Today this was that post.
These people aren’t looking for fare. They are looking for excuses to always paint every choice as failure.
This is dumb, petty and counterproductive.
But a lot of conservatives were complaining that Harris had to know that Biden wasn’t capable of the job and she should have activated the 25th amendment. But she didn’t do that and when he did step aside to let her be the candidate these same people that were all about her kicking him out of office were now saying that this was a bloodless coup even though she was only running for pres instead of actually being president. Basically they were irked because she didn’t do what they wanted and would have been upset if she did what they wanted. Damned if she did and damned if she didn’t.
So if he steps down and she becomes president they get to be unhappy about it and claim the high ground both ways.
Really wish we had adults running things instead of transparently partisan idiots who don’t hold any consistent core belief system.
What an unfortunate thing to happen on free dozen eggs night.
The World Health Organization needs to stay in their lane and deal with health issues, not building reactors.
Just a reminder that almost everyone is a curry lover. It’s tasty stuff. Using it as an insult shows that one hasn’t thought about what they are saying and is de facto proof that they are an idiot.
I started a Facebook group called New Music Only. Nothing older than a fortnight is allowed. It allows others to share brand new music they haye found and it forced me to go to YouTube and start hunting for recently uploaded music so I can supply material for the group.
Caught, as in the system detected them and they didn’t get in.
This could have used more context. At the time Trump said covid wasn’t a problem. He said it would blow over. Yet he is sending off tests to protect Putin from this non-issue.
Nitpick: From Russia’s point of view Ukraine isn’t a foreign territory, this is a civil war.
It kills the fries.
“This is a complex subject with a lot of subtleties. We have to choose the right words to make sure we avoid misunderstandings. Any sufficiently developed topic has a language all its own.”
Good news everyone!

Student brought Madonna’s Sex book to school. Made it on one of the evening tabloid shows. Tossed small rodents into the open windows of passing cars. Sodomized baseball players with broom handle. Checked girls underwear on the way into prom to make sure they weren’t wearing thongs. Blink 182
