The S(qu)eal who killed Bin Laden is openly pro-Trump. We'd probably have a split in the military before any civilian uprising.
This was my perception as well - I live in a deeply red state and what local coverage and ads I saw didn't mention any of these policies.
They kept the good stuff under wraps and tried to play it safe but not spooking anyone with "communism."
If I was an average American (obese, uneducated, easily frightened, provincial, and racist), I would not have been swayed to vote for Harris. Actually, the average American didn't vote at all.
T**** did a better job of giving the impression that he was going to do something to help the everyday American. It's a total lie but one that's hard to see through - if you're an average American.
What the Biden administration has been doing is making sure that any deals done under programs that can be shut down by executive order would take a lot of effort to unravel.
Given the makeup of the current SC(R)OTUS, they'll probably rubber stamp anything T**** does but it might take years to get to them.
I don't anything did. It was a rough week with my health - physical and mental. I'm grateful that I made it through the week. Definitely not happy though.
This week seems to be better so I might have something for next week.
Biden placed a bunch of tariffs on Chinese products back in May.
Mille grazie
Ahhh. I might take a closer look at it then. Sounds like it could be fun.
When I read stuff like this, I start cheering on H5N1 and Mpox.
Pardon my ignorance, please but what is friendica? I've not heard of it before.
For someone with zero experience (meeeeee!!!), which would you recommend?
I'm not an idiot but I have no idea where to even begin. I have a 3D printer and I will need to make small, somewhat simple parts for a couple of projects I'm working on.
Sounds like some depression.
It seems like a little buyers remorse - the house and what it represents. There's an adjustment going on and it's not going well for you.
I'm going through something similar and I'm looking at your post feeling a little envious. A wife? Sounds good. I'm struggling just to make friends. A house? Wow. I'm renting a small room and had to buy a loft bed to make more space.
I'm definitely not saying this to make you feel better by comparing yourself to me.
It seems like you know that your life is good but that you're not feeling it.
My life is definitely better than it was but I'm definitely feeling the absence of having someone close to me. I know that's improving but it's definitely not helping me feel better.
All I can do is try to focus on what I have and on what is going well. It's really kinda awful because it doesn't work well. The quiet moments are the worst.
I'm trying to change up a couple of things, such as adding in a few minutes of meditation and physical activity each day. Nothing too crazy, just something small.
Not exactly. I'm eating snacks and such that have more dietary fibre and protein, less sugar and such.
Some of the crackers I snack on look like corrugated cardboard. Definitely taste better though.
A big thing has been removing pop and sugary snacks. I make my own trail mix and snack on that a lot, too.
It wasn't a secret that they were filming all 3 LOTR movies at once. The expectations were set for multiple films.
If they divided the story in order to make two movies - like Dune, then they need to say so. If people buy a ticket expecting to see the whole thing, only to have an end card pop up saying something like "look forward to seeing everyone again in 2026," the studio is going to have more trouble than they already have.
I would if Trump had lied to them and said he would stop Israel.
They knew exactly who and what they were voting for. They lied to themselves and those around them.
ZERO EMPATHY FOR EVERYONE WHO HELPED TRUMP WIN.
I will enjoy every moment the leopards eat faces. I don't need or want allies who are this blinded or selfish when it matters the most.
Too little, too late.
Haha. I'm working on that too. Finally starting to lose fat.
Thank you for playing by the rules. Cuz those are some very pretty boobs. Made me day better.
Time to emulate one of Disneys greatest heros - Captain Jack Sparrow.
I have 32GB in my laptop and it feels like overkill 99% of the time.
I'm tired of not having friends
I really struggle to make friends and being an adult trying to make friends is even worse than when I was a kid in school.
It appeared that I had made a friend but they turned out to be kinda toxic. I made mistakes too but I never tried to hurt them or manipulate them. They've made me feel like they're embarrassed to know me. Like our friendship had to be a secret.
Now, I finally managed piss them off that they don't want to talk to me anymore. Part of me is glad but part of me feels lonely. Very lonely.
I've been in a long distance relationship for quite some time now and we are waiting for her to finish school next spring before we move in together. It's difficult for me to think that's really going to happen. She reassures me often that it will.
I should be happy with that but nothing beats seeing a friend face-to-face regularly and talking to each other.
I feel sad and lonely and selfish. I don't want to hurt myself but I do kinda wish I was dead.
Mirror recommendations please
I bought a Grom about 3 months ago - my first bike.
I love it, except for the mirrors. I drive a lot on one lane roads and not being able to get a quick glance before turning my head is driving me nuts.
I'm guessing bar end would be best but trying to find good reviews (that is, not LLM BS or not so subtle marketing disguised as blogs, etc) has been challenging.
I would love to hear what y'all have to say.
Allergy to hypoallergenic pillow?
I bought a pair of hypoallergenic pillows a couple of weeks ago and immediately started having a reaction to them. I washed them and no change.
I looked at what they're made from and I think it might be the Lyocell Tencel in the cover - made from eucalyptus trees.
Everything else about them is the same - afaik - as my other pillows.
Anyone else experience this or know anything about it?
Kinda newbie in need of guidance
I've been lurking here for a while, trying to learn and set up my own stuff. I'm starting off with music. I have a few thousand files in different formats and plenty of duplicates.
I already have an Emby server set up and it works very well.
However, is there a music manager that will help me find and eliminate duplicates?
I'm using Linux Mint and I'm still figuring out how to set up the various users and groups so that the software can access where my music is stored.
I'm thinking Lidarr but - as mentioned - something about setting up users and a media group and doing the permissions is not clicking.
For Emby to work, I've made the music directory a shared location and opened guest access.
Any pointers to step by step guides on any of this would be very helpful as well.
