Hearing “Trump is a threat to democracy” from Democrat leadership has started to make me seethe. They think it’s a one-way responsibility: we the voters are obligated to show up to vote for whoever they put in front of us, but they feel no responsibility to switch to a better candidate.
He didn’t have to edit in defined abs, but he went above and beyond the call.
When I accidentally spilled some (unheated) chicken broth on my dog the other day, I hoped it might teach her a lesson about being in the kitchen when I’m preparing food. It did not.
This’ll probably be an “agree to disagree,” but I think most websites do make good faith efforts to lower bot usage. Not because I trust them or anything, but because the perception that bot spam is out of control is bad for their bottom line.

You’ll trip balls so hard survival isn’t guaranteed.
The tragic thing, though, is that if lemmy ever “takes off”, there’s nothing about it that will make it any more resistant to bots and trolls.

Also the ruling class: “We’d get shittier anyway, but it’s nice to have an excuse. Again, fuck you peasants.”
Was he actually illiterate? That might have went over my head when I watched it as a kid.
More like “History will remember the shame of Mitch McConnell doing almost everything he did.”
Well, hygiene practices advance quite a lot between the ages of 5 and 8. Or, at least, “keeping your hands out of disgusting places” practices do.
The only reason it was sitting on its perch in the first place was because it had been nailed there. It has ceased to be.
Republicans have hammered on the “liberal bias” point for decades so that they can claim victimhood anytime they’re subject to the slightest scrutiny. The whole of the media has to treat them with kid gloves or take a hit in the ratings, which is basically illegal due to fiduciary laws.
The whole political ecosystem of the US, not just government itself but the press and lobbying, just isn’t built to handle the epidemic of bad-faith actors (mostly corporatist and on the right) we have today.
