"We're not going back" was her message according to that philosophy.

Our bodies are simply not made to leave earth for a long period. It's a lofty goal but completely unrealistic when considering our biology has evolved specifically to live here.

Has no one learned anything from War of the Worlds?

Also, remember how humanity really messed things up when we started colonising other parts of our globe? We brought disease, we murdered and we polluted.

Wasn't the student debt thing knocked back during the political process by the opposition? I wouldn't say it's Biden's fault for not being able to pass that one through.

I'm just a foreigner who is very interested in global politics and from what I saw, Harris did have a real message, with policies to boot. Such has first home owners grant, small business grant and the goal of increasing the size of the middle class, which means giving more opportunities to lower class.

Trump on the other hand was ranting incoherently and when he was coherent, sent a message that he was going to take people's rights away.

I don't understand how Harris needed to be clearer when it was as clear as night and day that she was the best choice economically and would provide a more stable future. In my opinion, it wasn't Harris' fault she lost. She ran a decent campaign. It's just that America is more than not racist, sexist and uneducated.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying US is any worse or better. Heck, Australia voted no to indigenous recognition in our constitution while the US actually has support for their indigenous communities. We're racist, dumb and sexist AF too. This is just an example of how powerful misinformation can be.

I don't think it's the reason why Trump won.

Also, most people don't experience trans problems, so the whole thing is a storm in a teacup. Let people have more medical care, not less.

Knock knock

Who's there?

Lettuce

Lettuce who?

Lettuce in and you'll find out!


Why didn't the skeleton go to the dance?

Because it didn't have any body to go with

Why not, though? What's stopping anything from being implemented?

Have you read Project 2025? Your country will literally have a government that can implement all of this without resistance. If a group of people had enough fervour to write such a document, do you honestly think that with all this power they wouldn't implement anything from it?

On top of that, while the US pulls into itself and has a less global presence, it's going to affect the global economy very negatively as the balance of power shifts. With DT at the helm, the balance of power will tip towards China being the next biggest economy.

Anyway, you may not notice a big change unless you're wealthy. Under DT, the poor stay poor but the rich get richer.

Unfortunately, our local council doesn't allow having roosters because of the crowing. Hens only.

Been trying for 6 years. Not desperately, but it would be nice. Thinking about getting chickens.

Did anyone watch Liquid Television?

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

For the drum machine, definitely! But we largely kept to our tempo or maybe double. It was a free gig and we were getting paid in beers. I think it was pretty funny for the audience too. Great night.

 

Seen on husband's ride to work this morning. Our local council is right on brand.
