You’re right. Sorry!

If you do a “straight” (1/2 way around) does it count as 1/2?

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 5 points 9 hours ago

There's not a mechanism for it.

Democrats can name anyone as candidate at the convention in August. Biden being the candidate isn’t official yet.

How can you both be wrong? There are 5 months left.

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 3 points 9 hours ago

Can they still change their candidate?

Yes, he is not the “official” candidate until the convention in August.

Anyway this is a perfect example to show why a democracy should have more than two parties.

Unfortunately, the way our voting works, it is nearly impossible for a third-party candidate to be viable.

I think if both Trump and Hunter go to jail, they should put them in the same cell and make it a reality show. At minimum, it would be funny, but maybe it will work to close the divide in the country. I mean, if Hunter saves his cell mate from getting shanked, it could cause the Trumpets to see the libs in a new light. Lol

Sure, but didn’t Biden go on a rant of how pro-Israel he is specifically?

How is it not bait and switch or false advertising? They can charge companies for those actions when they do it to customers, why not to applicants?

I’ve been filling out a lot of job apps that way recently. Not even a confirmation email threat they got my app. Those are probably the fake ones.

They can do it because hold all the cards. Honestly, if our government actually wanted to protect us, they would make this illegal.

The school already had single stall bathrooms for fuck sake! I use a non-gender conforming bathroom at work all the time even though it’s labeled “men” and “women” because I can close the door and no one can see me and it’s exactly the same as the other! And using kids pronouns? You use kids pronouns all the time, just this time you use the one they want.

Close-minded people trying to ruin literal children’s education because they are too fragile of snowflakes to take the signs off of bathrooms and use a different pronoun than they feel is “right”. Honestly, it’s good this came out, because the kids would have probably been bullied anyway from the kids with shitty parents. Now the parent can pick a more appropriate school.

Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play.

Note: I know very little about sports and being on a sports team, so please point out anything that doesn’t make sense.

Some cephalopods are able to fly through the air for distances of up to 50 metres (160 ft). While cephalopods are not particularly aerodynamic, they achieve these impressive ranges by jet-propulsion; water continues to be expelled from the funnel while the organism is in the air. The animals spread their fins and tentacles to form wings and actively control lift force with body posture. One species, Todarodes pacificus, has been observed spreading tentacles in a flat fan shape with a mucus film between the individual tentacles, while another, Sepioteuthis sepioidea, has been observed putting the tentacles in a circular arrangement.

I didn’t get it when I was a kid, not having any idea what it was to suffer or even work a full 8 hours. Now that we’re here gestures to the world around us and I’m older and I understand those things, it hits hard. I don’t know why the songs came into my head lately, but they kind of give me hope. These kids did this, breaking the oppression put on them with their situation and corporate greed. Maybe we can too. I probably need to watch a whole documentary on the situation, but this has a nostalgic draw and emotional attachment to me. And god, the fucking news guy was on their side?! Imagine.

🎶 Leftist dream, wait for me… 🎶

Another take on that is that he wasn't going to war for his school at all. That's ignoring the previous comments about it not being about the school at all (which is partly true), but recognizing the validity of that perspective. My point is that even if the war had been about the school itself, that wasn't what Harry was fighting for. He was fighting for his home.. Books or movies, Hogwarts was the one place that Harry felt was home. Not the Durselys', not even the Weasleys.

Hogwarts was Harry's first real home. So, even if he hadn't been the "chosen one", even if voldemort was attacking the school directly as a goal without any of the rest of the part about him and Harry, I think he still would have fought as hard as he could to defend it. You could make Harry a supporting character with his parents just having died of natural causes, and him being taken in by the Dursleys to eventually go to school at Hogwarts with nothing else involved, and that kid would still have fought for the one place he felt at home.

Hogwarts was like that for other students, but Harry had that abusive household and extremely limited freedom to make other social connections. That's an ideal setup for someone to attach to something as wonderful as Hogwarts was in comparison. I really think that Harry would have fought just as hard or harder for no other reason than that.
