Fuck Trump and I genuinely hope he doesn’t live long but assassination is obscene. First, it’s just abhorrent. Second, you’ll make him a fuckin martyr.
Either way this is insanity. That shot of Trump bloody with fist up in front of the flag is going to be plastered everywhere for months.
Step the FUCK DOWN BIDEN. You’re now an old man stumbling through gaffe after gaffe and Trump was given a massive free PR boost. Not to mention he will 100% use this as justification to go after political rivals.
You lost the primary.
There wasn’t one. It was an utter sham and is one of the things people are frustrated about.
Quit your fucking bitching!
No. People are allowed to voice their frustrations with a geriatric who has proven he’s as arrogant as trump. Until facism takes over America, it is literally a right for people to bitch about their leaders. And yes. Biden outright proved he’s as arrogant as Trump when during an interview he answer the question “If you stay on and don’t give the reigns to someone else and you lose the election to Donald Trump, how will you feel?” and Biden said he’d feel great as long as he did his best because that’s what counts. Either he’s lost his mind or he’s an arrogant douchebag. It is not just appropriate but required to talk about how he is unfit for the job.
This is ridiculous.
Edit: I went and grabbed the exact quote I was thinking of that proves Biden is putting himself before the country.
G. Stephanopoulos - If you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you’re warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?
J. Biden - I feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job I know I can do that’s what this is about
This is about the future of DEMOCRACY. You just watched the Supreme Court appoint you a king and are like “Yeah but I gotta do the goodest job I know I can do” in a quote that sounds Trump-level failure on grasping the English language? Fuck off. Get the hell out of the way and let someone step in who knows what the fuck they’re doing and is someone people can rally around.
Tourism is 5% of Spains GDP.
Have fun with that.
Despite the memo’s framing as an effort to not employ incendiary language to describe killings “on all sides,” in the Times reporting on the Gaza war, such language has been used repeatedly to describe attacks against Israelis by Palestinians and almost never in the case of Israel’s large-scale killing of Palestinians.
Thank you for bolding it because it is the only relevant part of the article. If they wanna use scaled back language then fine, I have no real issue with that but if you’re breaking those rules for one side and upholding them for another then you’re just a hot pile of biased bullshit.

And speaking as a mod, report things. The vast majority of things I’ve dealt with as a mod were ones I saw myself or things friends sent on discord. People need to utilize the report function more often if they want moderation on things. We’re not psychic.
As for being more stringent on the not being a dick rule, no. There’s a base level of civility we expect but if we start getting super stringent on what constitutes being a dick, that’s imposing moderator will on community and its what most of us left reddit to get away from.
Lastly, it’s the Internet. Assholes exist everywhere. You are not going to escape it, ever, if you’re using public servers. It’s pretty much required to accept that fact just to use the Internet. Moderators do not exist to prune and preen social media to make it more comfortable for people. We remind people to follow the rules and act upon those who do not. If you’re not breaking the rules then we’re not going to “interact” because we have our own lives and our own posts we are interested in.
The big changes are mostly just that I work new hours which are weird for lemmy posting. I’ve been trying to find a way to get back into it more easily. I do miss posting so much :(
Can’t say it’s not weird as shit though to think that that I’m even slightly “famous”
And I do appreciate it <3 genuinely
