If the primary system is already “loosely democratic” then we’re not really throwing anything away by choosing a different nominee. This already happened with Bernie. Should we reform the DNC to make it more democratic? Certainly, but that’s a different problem and isn’t going to happen in the next two weeks.
Is it only unacceptable to you if the party pushes him out? How would Biden stepping down due to health reasons (or any personal reason, really) undermine the rule of law?
Almost all the mainstream criticism against Biden is that he’s too old and bumbling. Run ANYONE else and all that criticism goes away immediately.
The first four are remakes, but they’re done very well.
Tokyo Vice
Shogun (not exactly a crime thriller but it will suck you in)
Ripley (shot like a black and white film from the 40’s, good even if you’ve seen the Matt Damon movie)
Perry Mason
Yellowjackets
Altered Carbon
Big Little Lies
Nine Perfect Strangers
Dark Winds
If you like crime comedy, try White Lotus, Dead to Me, Search Party, Only Murders in the Building, Flight Attendant, and The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window.
And there’s no better way to depress the Dem turnout than to tell everyone we’ve already lost.
I just want to point out that the polls haven’t changed after this incident. He has not gained more support. We can still do this.
No. You can get a driver’s license at 16 but can’t vote until 18. Would be weird to ask someone who can’t vote to pick a party. When you register to vote they’ll ask, but that’s a separate process from getting a driver’s license and even then you don’t have to declare a party.
Are people really taking those statements as actual support?? Politicians have to come out and condemn things like that. Everyone kinda knows it’s just lip service, but it would be weirder if they didn’t say anything. It’s just tradition. It’s not like Zelensky or Obama or Sanders actually want to protect Trump’s ability to run now. But I do think they’re glad he wasn’t assassinated, because that would have made everything worse.
I was more worried about it until I realized Lemmy is the only place I’d heard anyone say Genocide Joe.
Hopefully not. They already have the Bolt EV and the Volt hybrid, which are some of the smallest and most affordable EVs currently on the market.
And the Seattle Times is letting them hide in obscurity. Call them out by name so we can vote them out, goddamnit! Call them up and question them before parroting their talking points! Hold them responsible for what they say! You’re supposed to be journalists ffs.
And what happens when you start a family and then… get tired of them? Get annoyed by them? Children can be absolute twats, and it takes them a long time to grow up. We all have low points with our spouses. Those kinds of relationships take a lot of social stamina, which you claim you don’t really have. Think about what it might do to your child if things don’t work out the way you planned. Let’s say you don’t feel the kind of love for them that you expected to. What would stop you from ghosting them, either emotionally or physically?
… Nah. As a woman, this is not a question I would ever think to ask anyone, regardless of how unsafe I felt. How does agreeing to murder someone AFTER something happens to you help you feel more safe? It doesn’t, at all. Besides, she could have called him from the Uber when she didn’t see him outside. It’s not like they just kick you out of the car immediately.
OP described this behavior as “the usual,” which means this is a thing she does regularly. I would say this isn’t normal for most people to do regularly. If the location is actually not safe, then the conversation should be centered around “when are we going to move somewhere safer?” rather than “how would you murder someone if they hurt me” and especially getting into the specifics of “what would you do with the cat while doing the murder…?” I think this might be some kind of recurring “daycare” or maladaptive fantasy that keeps playing out in her imagination. There are certainly steps she could take to keep herself safe. But because she doesn’t, she feels powerless and then blames OP for her perceived lack of safety. OP cannot be responsible for her safety 24/7. That is an unfair expectation to have of anyone.
It also makes amazing tofu. 20 min at 400 gives it an actual texture. No pressing or freezing required.

I hope they realize now we really should start.
Because there’s nothing automatic about our law passing process. How many years is the right amount to strike an old law from the books? You wouldn’t want something like the abolishment of slavery to ever become automatically unenforceable. So now you need someone to decide on a case by case basis which laws should still be on the books… well, that’s what the Supreme Court is for. They don’t reconsider every law, though. It seems to be at their discretion.
I doubt any place will hire you for only one day a week. That will not be helpful for them.
Eh, when you grow up around an overly judgmental adult it’s easy to think all adults are like that.
You can’t do that in the US. To give you another ID they have to punch a hole in the first one, rendering it invalid. Otherwise everyone would just get multiple IDs and sell the extras to their underage friends.
So if I walked into a restaurant that specialized in a certain cuisine (choosing the right one out of hundreds is a skill, right?) and wrote down a list of ingredients, and the restaurant made me a meal with those ingredients according to however the restaurant functions (nobody can see into the kitchen, after all), does this make me a chef?
Most retail stores and restaurants already have cameras everywhere. I had a boss who would sit at home watching the feed and then call the store to yell at us when he thought we were burning sandwiches.
Well then, I guess you should send the video to the DNC, since some YouTuber apparently knows more than the entire political apparatus that does this for a living and somehow doesn’t know how anything about how elections work. Do you really think they would be stupid enough to change everything without first making sure their plan was even possible?
