Democrats see a mentally ill person standing on the corner ranting and raving and shouting insane gibberish, and they think it's sad and we should help that poor person.
Republicans see the same thing and think we should elect that poor person.

I dunno. At some level, when all hope is gone, I find myself hoping the state where I live hasn't gone full fascist.

Yeah, I was going to say I look forward to reading a few articles about him in prison and maybe some pictures of him in an orange jumpsuit and his hair flopping over before everyone loses interest and he just fades away.
Followed by a one paragraph obituary mentioning his death from advanced syphilis while still in prison.
If his kids had any sense, they'd charge a buck a person for people to piss on his grave. They might be able to get the family fortune back to where it would be if their idiot father had just invested his inheritance in an index fund.

Raising my children, I got painfully aware of how "lasts" work.
The last time your baby asks you to pick them up. The last time they ask you to take them trick-or-treating. The last time you read a bedtime story.
The one thing that is common to all the lasts is you never know it was the last time until it's too late. It's always already a memory. At the time it seemed like every other time so you didn't even savor it.
What I'm trying to say is, if they manage to usurp the election this time, then 2024 won't be the last democratic election. The last democratic election would be the previous one.

I think WW1 was kind of like the comic. It was a bunch of squabbling family members who got into a pissing match and then sent their citizens to die. It never would have happened if Gramma Vicky had still been alive!

I find myself increasingly out of sync with others regarding the weather now.
It will be warm when it isn't supposed to be, and everyone will be talking about how nice it is, and all I see is the approaching end of life as we know it.

We all knew it, but confirming it seemed like the right thing to do.

They also have literally said “just sell your house and move” but like TO WHO?! Who would buy that house if it’s in such a fucked area?!
You have to sell the story that the area is a conservative utopia where people can live free of wokeness.
Then the conservative refugees from the satanic, communist areas will flock to you to buy your land.

Most people tend to buy the imperfect cheap product rather than the better, more expensive product.
If we refused to buy crap, they wouldn't make it. If we refused to buy it, they couldn't make it.
They sell us crap because collectively we prefer it.

You've got to start traveling with one of these bad boys:
We had to take Rose to the vet on Friday because she stopped eating hay and started having diarrhea. Diagnosis: intestinal parasite and gas in her stomach. She's on antiparasitic meds, antibiotics to prevent secondary infection, and a nutritional supplement to replace the hay she isn't eating. She takes the tiny doses of the meds ok, but she's not a fan of the supplement.  We had a lot of trouble until we figured out how to get her burrito towel wrapped correctly. She's starting to do better. More normal poops, started nibbling hay, and she stopped fighting the supplement. Daisy and Rose are inconsolable because we had to separate them until Rose is all better. The gateway between the pens is closed now and they keep pulling on it like they're trying to pull it open.
This is probably a stupid question, but if I want to add a line to a PDF telling people to direct any comments to my Lemmy account, how would I specify that?
Obviously teenager is 13-19. "Young adult" would start at 20, but where's the cutoff at the upper end? Similarly, what's the range for "adult", "old", "elderly", " ancient"? If someone asks for responses from "old men", how do I know if it applies to me?
It seemed like every time we visited WDW, there was some event or show taking place in front of Cinderella's Castle, and the interior was closed. When I visited as a kid, you'd walk through the castle and ooh and aah at the mosaic. I've wanted to see the mosaic again for years, and it was always closed. I finally got the chance again last time, and I took some pictures.

Where has this guy been? When my wife and I went to Disney World in 1996, we planned nothing in advance. We found ourselves waiting in massive lines for rides and spending hours waiting for tables in restaurants. We realized we screwed up and we had to do better. That was 27 years ago. Since then, we had kids and raised them to adulthood. Every trip after that we scheduled reservations in advance. Every morning we wake up, we know what park we are going to. We spend about 20 minutes every day we are there planning that day's activities, and we roll with whatever changes we encounter. I don't understand how having a plan in place in advance of your vacation somehow makes it more stressful. I've always thought it was easier to not have to wonder what we'll be doing and where we'll be going during our Disney trips. Are there really people who insist on just showing up with no plan and then blame Disney when they are stressed? Also, it seems like most of the Disney criticism I see is coming from Fox news in some form or another. Is that just my news feed, or is it an extension of the culture war that the right is trying to foment?
Title is my question. It seems like refusing to recognize other state's driver licenses would be blatantly unconstitutional. Is there something I'm missing?
I tend to at least look at every work email I receive. Likewise for Teams messages. If I see a notification of a new communication, I tend to check it and see if I need to respond. I don't always respond, but I always look at the message. In various virtual meetings, I've seen other people's notifications when they share their desktop, and it seems like some people just don't bother even looking at them. Am I the weird one? Does everyone just ignore messages they receive at work?
What's your favorite Disney World Restaurant, and what is it about that restaurant that makes it your favorite? Without any deep thought, the first one that popped into my mind was Narcoossee's. The food is amazing, and there's a great view of fireworks if you're there in the evening. When my wife and I went to WDW after she graduated from school (1996, I think?), we stayed on property at the Grand Floridian. It was my first time staying in a Disney resort. We arrived too early to check in, so we went to Narcoossee's for lunch. The last time we went to WDW (2021), we took our adult children with us, and had a wonderful dinner with everyone together at Narcoossee's.
This is happening fairly often. When I click on a post title to open a post, it takes me to a different post. Seems to always be sports scores. I'm not sure if it's always the same post it takes me to. I'll have to try to remember to actually note where it's taking me. If I go back, it takes me back to where I was, and the post title indicates it has been opened, but if I tap it again, it takes me to the correct post. It's not quite predictable, and it isn't repeatable.
I saw the post about Eastern State, then I posted about the Pennsylvania Hospital Pine Building. What are the other weird or interesting things to do or see in Philadelphia that you think more people need to know about?
If you're in Philadelphia and want to do a historic tour some afternoon, there's one that I think many people are unaware of. You can tour the Pennsylvania Hospital original building. East wing was first opened in 1755, West Wing in 1796, and center in 1804. You can visit the original surgical amphitheatre, the medical library, and see the hospital's fire engine.
