It would have been an implied "no" because I wouldn't have even answered the phone.

It's such an alien thought process that I don't even know where I would begin with discussing politics with such a person.

The Vending Machine one is actually pretty good.

I think the real answer is all of the above. Biden waited too long to drop out, which didn't give enough time to properly hold a primary. This resulted in Harris being nominated with no way to gauge how popular she would be. She then ran a terrible campaign spending too much time courting moderate Republicans. This resulted in progressives being disillusioned and not voting. Her stance on Israel and Gaza turned away Arab voters who also didn't vote. All of this combined together to pave the way for a second Trump presidency.

It didn't grow though. Trump got fewer votes this time than he did in 2020.

If the past is any indicator of the future then we can expect the next four years to be non-stop Trump posting.

It being small might be part of the problem. Reddit has more money to fight legal battles than lemmy.world

The real problem is that these people get away with it. There are no consequences to their actions. If no one is going to hold them accountable then it's not just a belief they have, they really are above the law.

I know a number of people who thought the Wii U was an attachment for the Wii and not a separate console so you might be right about the name.

I imagine what they're trying to contain are angry Puerto Ricans living in the US from going out and voting. The higher the voter turnout is, the greater the chance of Harris winning. Making Democrats angry enough to actually go out and vote is definitely something the Republicans want to contain.

That's how I always felt about it. As long as I get paid, I don't care what they do with the software.

Not sure when things changed but all I know is that when I bought mine years ago the Kobo site redirected me to Walmart and that's where I had to buy it. My e-reader even displays the Walmart logo on it when I power it off.

 

I ordered a mystery box from Adagio which finally came in and was surprised at what came in. I was expecting a collection of single cup samples but instead I got several of the larger bags that can make multiple cups each.

This box contained:

  • April in Paris - .8oz
  • Blueberry Peach Gobbler Green - .5oz
  • Double Ginger Herbal - .8oz
  • Lemon Meringue Green - .5oz
  • Zodiac - aries tea - Single
  • Black Jasmine Song - Single
  • Tie Kuan Yin Black - .4oz

Since they change what they put in the mystery box each month, I might just see how to setup a monthly auto-purchase.

I picked up some new teas from a shop while on vacation and this one was pretty good. I like teas with lavender in them but I find that it's sometimes overpowering. This one had the lavender taste without it overwhelming the other flavors.

Edit: I tried to upload a picture but it wouldn't let me so I used a link to the one of the pictures on the site.

Just in case anyone is interested, Humble Bundle has a Tad Williams bundle containing 21 ebooks for $18. The offer ends in about 1.5 days. The ebooks come through kobo.com so you would require an account with kobo to redeem the ebooks.

I know there's a whole ethics thing revolving around the use of AI but I still find this sort of stuff to be amazing.

 

I've gone from getting tea bags at the grocery store to tea bags ordered online and just started getting loose leaf tea. I've been buying the bags and the loose tea from Stash but I was wondering where all of you get your tea.

I just tried this tea and it was very good. I'm not a big fan of cherries but I have been drinking it almost every day and like it more than the Cinnamon Black Tea I bought at the same time.
