“This is your brain on drugs tips.”

But seriously: If a federal livable wage ($20+, adjusted regularly) killed tipping, what a relief that would be to most people. Tipping should return to being an unexpected surprise for truly exceptional service.

Yup. It’s not worth any time trying to figure out their “rules”, because there are none, and they don’t need any. These deranged morons are unburdened by logic (or principles, morals, honesty, consistency). And there are entire industries now grinding out profit from the idiocy and hate. It’s just business.

This is a very good point. If she ever ends up on Fox (hope not), it would be negligent not to use this attack. T**** lost, and he still can’t admit this basic, important fact. A fact his lawyers, all around the country, could not escape, in even the most friendly jurisdiction. Some of them are now disbarred because of this. Fox News paid an incredible sum (and lost Cucker) because of this.

NYT are fools for using that headline. Their journalists, or editor, obscured the facts with that one. “Updated” headline (not joking):

Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead

It’s almost the least someone at the campaign could do. I’ll donate eventually (they seem to be doing fine for now!), but it would be great to see them show some love for the superior principled social media outcasts of the fediverse and Mastodon.

Sounds a lot like Obama. High quality human, unwilling to get too dirty battling human sewage, bad faith tactics, delays, obstructions, etc. Gave up a supreme court nominee due to… “norms”. To be fair, nobody imagined a clown/wannabe-dictator and his three (!?) SCOTUS picks to quickly reshape the presidency into a monarchy with infinite powers.

POTUS says no, and the Texas attorney general should respectfully go fuck himself. Thousands of miles and billions of dollars of easily surmounted walls is not a real plan for border security.

I doubt they’re even people, if it’s on M***'s bot-infested, rotting corpse of a website. Just part of the reason “drama” in that cesspool should never be elevated or cared about more than any other tabloid clickbait. And any actual humans remaining are inevitably the most miserable, gullible, brain-damaged fools (or looking to swindle them).

What is this? Death Warrant (the 1990 prison action film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme)?

With help from Priest and Hawkins, Burke breaks into the infirmary and finds several boxes labeled “medical waste” that are actually full of human organs.

Has the supreme court stripped the SEC of its powers yet (unconstitutional!)? Did it ever have any, besides slap-on-the-wrist fines? Garbage like DJT couldn’t even exist if we had halfway decent regulations.

I didn’t realize Nate Silver left 538 (he’s over at Silver Bulletin now.) Not sure how credible they are anymore, after Disney/ABC gutted the team, and he left with the magic sauce algorithms. They were the one place I semi-trusted for polling, most accurate I’ve come across (since 2012 or so).

I don’t see much insanity. But I have zero tolerance for obvious bots and trolls, and blocked a few instances early on. (Haven’t since then; they really are concentrated on just a few.)

Edit: I just checked my blocks and filters (using Sync app), and I only have a few users blocked, no instances, etc. Lemmy.world must just be doing a good job moderating.

In English: THE MAYONNAISE.

This story did not go through our standard editing process and has been removed.

It seems AP are cowards. They’ve removed the article.

Agreed. Just saying they definitely deserve some blame. (And the BS their local DA has been saying is annoying at best.) The simplest thing should have been to delay or postpone the event. But I imagine they almost always have “people of interest” at events, and (somehow) never did see a gun or weapon.

To me, the local PD seems to have plenty of fault. (Surprised she didn’t throw them under the bus.) The shooter’s on top of a building, outside of SS perimeter. And incredibly, it’s literally full of local PD, apparently emergency response (SWAT).

There seems to have been severe communication issues from all involved: Knew of suspect for hour, lost him, searched, finally checked roof, too late. SS sniper seems to have had him in sights, but did not shoot until after (perhaps thought he could be local PD). They all deserve blame for the almost comedy of errors. I think the wind might’ve done more to prevent the assassination.

As long as we have the presidency and military.

Civil war. Or submit to “Project 2025”-level insanity and Christian fascism. Those are the choices the cult gives us. They really are the American Taliban. Can’t wait to see their “chosen one” lose again.

Anybody still using it at this point deserves all the brain damage it causes. No excuses.

I think millions of people would watch this. The contrast of Harris vs T**** would be shocking. And a huge issue right now is communication of the issues.

Take a handful of actually important subjects: healthcare/abortion, immigration, climate, democracy/fascism, education, taxes, etc. Let Kamala clearly and concisely explain her/Democrats position. Then “let virtual Donny answer” (play each of his rambling greatest hits; it wouldn’t be far off his actual answer). Do this for each subject, like a good old fashioned debate. Make it clear this was not AI or manipulated, but actual quotes.

I’m surprised that Buttigieg is not mentioned more often. Brilliant, fantastic communication, midwestern, white man (but not straight, lol), no valuable seat left open. And his recent takedown of Vance is a great example, would love to see that VP debate.
