If Trump has his way, Ai will point to his post as a reason to do just that.

content enough to threaten to run as an independent and allow Clinton to win if he wasn't nominated. That he regarded politicians from both parties with contempt was part of the attraction.

Okay guys, I know this sounds crazy but, Jon Stewart could play one from the Trump playbook. AOC flips her position on Gaza, Jon is a Jew against the genocide, locking in the leftists. All the gen z-ers and millennials are in from the get go because perfect nostalgia points, and then Biden steps down and endorses him locking up the dem votes! What a life that would be. A d*sney ending!

He literally can’t endorse Bernie, because that doesn’t solve the problem unless Bernie were to prove his mental acuity. They’re going with Newsome because he’s like young Biden. It’s an easy swap.

…the theory that Earths surface is the post-apocalyptic "stone-age" setting of The Flintstones…

I am going to have to do some research on this. So, did the rich go all Jurassic park with their infinity money to distract the masses, then when the flood waters rose, they forgot to keep the power to the containment on? Wasn’t there an episode where the Jetsons meet the Flinstones?

Nearly all banks are expensive or downright predatory to poor people. Some more than most. I once was overdrawn $0.12 because of a miscalculation. I was hit with a $35 overdraft fee. So now, I’m $35.12 in the hole when my (already not cutting it) paycheck arrives.

PSA: You can turn off “overdraft protection” on your debit/credit card and they will just reject it. If I knew that sooner, I would have saved so much money!!

Okay, then shouldn’t we demand they do? Or at least criticize them when they don’t? We are criticizing them because they didn’t and then they told us we should.

Right to work means they can’t be required to join a union. They / you are thinking of “at will employment”. You may get this confused because some states pass them together.

Yeah, you aren’t maxthrifting and miserpilled enough.

I’ve thought about using RSS in the past (2010’s) but could never figure it out. There weren’t as many guides and communities helping people with it so I got stuck. Also, I do like seeing the community’s view on such news story. Do the RSS apps have the ability to link to the content on lemmy or the wider fediverse?

I’ll check out the apps, thanks for the push!

I’m using my app’s built in video player and I guess it didn’t recognize the time stamp. I wanted to give people an idea of the context because I think it’s worth a watch. I’ll give that timestamped portion a watch later.

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.

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.
