Also in my 30s in a safe blue state, and despite being a donor to several dem/progressive candidates, I have received precisely zero poll/campaign texts. I can’t help but wonder if it has something to do with me dropping traditional social media when I was 23 and never touching my accounts again. I’m pretty sure Meta and Twitter think I died at age 23 and I’m totally ok with that.

At the very least the man is skilled at pretending to be someone he’s not. That’s about all he’s got going for him.

There are sitting politicians today, probably including Harris and absolutely including Biden, who campaigned to ban video games…

Doubtful that Harris would have ever said anything about banning video games, but happy to be proven wrong here. She’s the same age as Walz and became an elected official an entire decade after the 1993-94 Senate hearings, and also would have been in her late teens/early twenties during the tail end of the arcade era and the rise of home consoles like the NES. I really doubt Harris has a closed minded view on video games “corrupting the youth” or whatever…

Oh you know, the normal stuff women do to these guys like: refusing to have sex with them, having opinions, existing. All the typical incel shit.

There was this great meme going around years ago when the truck was announced that had a crayon drawing of it and “by Elon” written shakily in big letters like a child would use. I’ll see if I can find a link.

Edit: it’s on the shitty website we all left, but: https://old.reddit.com/r/Autos/comments/e0m4sg/the_original_concept_for_cybertruck_was_a_drawing/

Evidently yes, but only about “Made In” brand cookware. To be fair, it does look like some good quality stuff.

Using a Lindsey Graham quote would be cheating…

Alexandra Petri is courageous, Jeff Bezos is a scared little shit, spread the news.

One of my favorite geography facts, there are no fewer than three villages named “Shit” in Iran.

The actual creators at WaPo should just come forward as a group and endorse anyway. The fuck is Bezos gonna do, nuke his whole staff?

Edit: So far we have one, Alexandra Petri: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/30367614

Edit 2: The WaPo cartoon team is collectively speaking out against the decision not to endorse: https://sh.itjust.works/post/27230878

Uhh… could someone remind me of the symptoms of a stroke?

If someone gave him a MAGA version of the Hamburglar hat he’d 100% wear it and think the internet was laughing with him, not at him.

Well the only time I ever messed with jiggle physics was to animate a bunch of jello cubes falling from the ceiling, so yeah I’d say that’s pretty different than boobs.

Couldn’t tell you personally. I just do 3D modeling as a hobby but some folks I know from the hobby space do commission work, and apparently jiggle physics on anime boobs is a commonly requested feature.

Some of them have a certain… element that makes them different. That element is usually jiggle physics on the 3D model…

Shhh! That’s too much logic for them, you’re challenging them to reconsider their worldview.

I’m probably doing exactly what they want here (e.g. having a conversation about it), but that letter is called “Eth” and was the Old English way of spelling the “th” sound: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eth

A number of linguistic buffs want to bring it back to the modern English alphabet.

Same dude. Younger me would have confidently said something boneheaded like “I’d just drink and smoke until a miscarriage”, older me realizes I don’t have any semblance of capability to understand what must be going through this poor woman’s mind. And then even if she had tried something unorthodox to terminate the pregnancy, these sick fucks probably would have tried to put her in jail for it even though she’s the victim.

Cool. Except the thing is I never said this wasn’t Harris’ plan. I said that the article is about an independent review of her plan, and therefore she’s not “play[ing] the tax card”. I would agree she’s “play[ing] the tax card” if she was making a big deal of this all of a sudden out of nowhere, but that’s not happening here.

This isn’t Harris “play[ing] the tax card”, the article isn’t even referencing anything her campaign said.

FTA:

The new analysis from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) follows its in-depth examination of Trump’s tax proposals, which the group found would cut taxes for the richest 5% of Americans and raise them for everyone else.

And directly from ITEP’s “Mission & History” page:

ITEP is a non-profit, non-partisan tax policy organization. We conduct rigorous analyses of tax and economic proposals and provide data-driven recommendations to shape equitable and sustainable tax systems.

Source: https://itep.org/about/

Based on the “equitable and sustainable” piece, ITEP probably slants left, sure, but I’d say that’s far more owing to conservative tax policy having no basis in being equitable or sustainable for the past four decades at least.

That all being said there’s literally no reason to make this a dig at Harris, because, you know, the article isn’t referencing anything she or her campaign has publicly said…
