Why Lemmy/The Fediverse is so good: you can watch the world fall part from dozens and dozens of apps!

There can't be any corruption in the process if the process doesn't move! taps forehead

Even if it is presented more mildly in context, I hardly see it as a shortcoming. Sure, someone that doesn't just go along with whatever people are saying makes one's job difficult but it can lead to better outcomes.

Perhaps some would want to work with Trump and Vance instead so that every brief will have to be in the form of a picture book?

Bring your best self, instead of your best caricature impression of somebody else you think would be successful.

The goal is just to get to know each other and talk a bit, and see if you both think that hanging out with each other more would be fun. Frame it like that and you might feel a little less anxious or awkward.

What the... this is so infuriating to a railfan. It's like they are trying to attach a 2x viewer multiplier by putting Elon-related keyword in it when Tesla has so little to do with it.

It's not a Tesla train, nor a battery from Tesla, nor operated by Tesla, not even a new route (but granted an expanded timetable)

I wish media hyped trains like this in general and not limited to implicitly attributing it to Musk (who made hyperloop specifically to distract from High Speed Rail, mind you)... "GIGA TRAIN brings commuters to work", "Hyper train first electric regional service in California - you won't believe the capacity!"

The Harris campaign knows how to clapback real hard, that's for sure. The Trump campaign's words, even with all the relevant context included, speak for themselves.

I see another person ascribed to the Alito School of Deliberately Misinterpreting Legal Text To Suit Your (and your donors') Needs.

Yes, with electoral college that strategy is acceptable... buuuuuut...

DON'T sleep for a second on the downballot races, for House Rep., Senator, Governor, state positions, ballot measures (including on a woman's right to an abortion), and everything else applicable to you on Election Day. DON'T stay home even if you don't like your choice of President/VP or that your state won't affect who will reside in the Oval Office.

Any of these other races can be close. Each has a piece of a government that has big effects on many of the issues you care about.

I'm happy with the fledgling community we have here. I'm barely interested in what's going on in Reddit anymore, other than taking slight amusement in how the latest announcement or change just ruined the site even more.

Ms. Leavitt, why don't you go pay NY Judge Merchan a visit, and tell him that?

What I always find crazy is the cost of pre-natal, delivery and post-partum healthcare in the US. Barely any politician talks about it and no parents seem to talk about it until slapped in the face with the hospital bill. Even with insurance it's on average a US$2800 downpayment...

If the US wants more babies, I think fixing this is a good start. Hilariously, a budgeting post on the cost in Canada says it's CA$10-15k but that is the total expected amount to raise a child all the way to 18 years old, which is in stark contrast to the US one looking 3 months ahead at best.

Pokemon Sex is too on the nose and not suitable for all ages, sooo...

Pokemon Mate sounds friendly enough to be marketable as an app.
