The one benefit of Vance replacing Trump is that he doesn’t have a cult like Trump does.

Not in my head.

Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is “Nazi.” Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?

I’m sorry but I just don’t buy that. They don’t have time to talk to anyone who’s actually paying attention? They can’t take ten minutes over the course of several months (for Harris) or years (for Trump) to listen to the candidates speak and see which one can speak in coherent sentences?

No, they’re just too stubborn to listen to anyone who tells them anything other than what they want to hear. Or too racist to vote for a Black person, too sexist to vote for a woman, too brainwashed to ever vote for a Democrat, etc.

We got mad because he was obviously lying.

It started a lot longer ago than that, with the likes of Fox “News” and Rush Limbaugh. It’s been getting worse the whole time.

More like a quarter.

Simple. They say everything is the Democrat’s fault, and their idiot followers believe it, no questions asked. It’s been working in Texas for decades.

The real nightmare is the kerning.

Man, we’re getting close to the point where the release a game at the same time as its remaster.

Also what I was taught in US Spanish classes.

People on the other side don’t deserve a mnemonic.

Made me feel like I was crazy the first time I installed pedals on a bike.

My cat used to go in my bathroom and yowl until I went in and got him. Now he has progressed to just yowling in any room with no people in it.

They don’t do it well, but an attempt was made.

To be fair, that’s an issue in almost every imperative language and even some functional languages. Rust, C, and C++ are the only imperative languages I know of that make a serious effort to restrict mutability.

My brother in Christ, the average person doesn’t even know Lemmy exists.

People don’t know about the weird chunk sizes representing inequality.

They do know about Chocolonely being marketed as a more ethical product.
