Big sucker for a simple diluted castile soap for most cleaning, but love to see what others are up to!

That’s what’s wrong with America, nobody naming their kids Strom anymore.

Or it might trigger a confrontation. I would avoid it unless the confrontation is already started.

Good advice for any bystanders though. Film those fuckers.

The office of the President has a press budget. They could easily give him a dumpster to shit in over at whitehouse.gov, woulda made it harder to grift idiots though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Look, I’m tired of Jefferies smug “I tweeted about it, what more do you want” face, but I do want to call out a bit of a hypocrisy I’m seeing here on Lemmy.

Theres a bunch of folks clamoring about how they want Democrats to focus on trying to fix things and not just waste time on impeachment, but then Jefferies says that’s what he’s gonna do and everyone is back to WHAT ABOUT IMPEACHMENT.

Personally I’m a fan of the walk and chew approach of doing both, but seeing a lot of people bickering about what Democrats should do for the next two years as if nothing they do will be sufficient.

For me, for now, I’m just glad we slowed the bleeding.

I received it as a text:

A message from California Secretary of State on behalf of County Registrar. Your ballot for the November 3, 2026, General Election was received and will be counted. Thank you for voting!

You should be able to check your current status following the info here:

California always has delays in Getting everything through the system, a side effect of having reasonable election laws that let you mail in ballots up to election say, a huge population, and a thorough counting process. Be patient but follow up.

Reminder that gay marriage failed in California back in '08.

People will come around, but it takes time to overcome ignorance at this scale.

For now, it’s on all of us to do what we can to support the community and highlight how these injustices impact real people - hate thrives on ignorance.

The reason impeachment is even in discussion is because we have a president who would rather burn the country down while blaming the Democrats, than compromise.

Hell, compromise is even the wrong word, they could pass the “Trans ban tax cut deregulation super bill” and he would still veto it out of spite.

Without presidential support or a super majority, Democrats main tools are investigations and impeachments. If anything, that gives them leverage or a shot at getting someone into the Oval Office not obsessed with retribution.

Republicans in both chambers could take a hint and help pass things without the president, but it’s more likely they’re doing the political calculus and coming to the decision that resisting Democrats passing popular bills is the best shot they have at the GE in 2 years ago they can say “See, the blue wave was useless and Democrats can’t govern.”

This isn’t me pre-appologizing for Democrat inaction, it’s the reality of how our political system works - having a simple majority in one of the three beaches of government isn’t free reign to do whatever you want.

You know she could have declined the appointment right?

My home loan is less than that and it already hurts to pay every month. With a second big loan, I’d have to declare bankruptcy.

Now if this is a gift of free money - I’d pay off that damn home loan so it’s one less thing to worry about. Remaining balance on the $1M would probably get invested in the hopes that I could push forward my retirement by a couple of decades.

Guess I live in a bubble with the liberal 2%.

This doesn’t at all answer your question, but Handbrake has always frustrated me by being aggressively opaque.

Like if you’re not trying to encode something to run on an iPod Nano from 2007, the presets are all arbitrary and wacky, and it gives you very little control over the underlying commands.

I GREATLY prefer StaxRip. It strikes the right balance for transparency, automation, and configuration for me. Closest thing to working with commands from scratch, without all of the headache. Only downside is it’s only built for Windows.

I’m genuinely shocked by this only being 61%. The Latinx community has been one of the most broadly impacted by the current administration.

I have friends who are US citizens who carry their passports with them because they are afraid ICE could show up to harass them at any moment. It’s no joke, no one who presents as Latinx that I’ve met feels safe right now, and not feeling safe is easily the biggest vote motivator on the planet.

I don’t know what kind of ignorant bliss the other 39% of Latinx voters are living in but from my experience that number is shockingly high.

It works with Edge on Windows 11

FYI, if you alias using someone else’s domain, you fall into the same trap all over again when, say, DDG goes full AI wackjob and now you need to transfer hundreds of email addresses.

El-Sayed Hates Jews and Hates Blacks!

… Is he trashing El-Sayed or is he trying to get his supporters to vote blue?

The first is a change in engineering culture and engineer mentality. Your job has fundamentally changed. It is no longer to write code, and LLMs are not here to help you write better code faster. Your job is to help the LLM write better code faster.

Emphasis theirs 🤮
