Large margin for Harris: “this is absurd, we should have won, look how much they cheated”
Small margin for Harris: “They cheated, we need to send electoral votes for Trump anyway. Stop the steal!”
Small margin victory for Trump: “we won even though they cheated! Big changes coming to prevent their cheating in future”
Huge victory for Trump: “we have a mandate to eradicate the wetbacks”
That would have been a great article to post here a year ago
Much better. Please do stick to the pictogram communication, saves everyone time.
Well given that I’m neither American nor particularly aligned to Washington Post (I had to Google “wapo”) or the New York Times, it wasn’t a particularly interesting question. Having lived by the South China Sea however… yeah it’s probably more pertinent to my interests what Yogibear posts about that.
Did you forget your image macro?
I guess we’ll find out when Yogsy posts them some day.
Do we post opinion pieces on news communities now?
I do not wish to enjoinder with your Game Launcher and anonymous telephony

What
I know. I know. I’m already a converted vegetarian or “bad at it vegan”. I’m spending a fortune on an EV car payment. My electricity is from a wind farm. I’m off all the socials. I’ve been recycling properly for decades and they tell me it was pointless. I’m getting pretty tired of personal responsibility. Can we do the guillotines now? I can’t make the first move. I’ve got kids and a mortgage. Start rounding them up and I can do some small part there too.
Look, that’s honestly quite sad and very telling of the way things are, but I audibly snorted at the idea of Jeff Bezos noticing his income slightly lower this week, panicking, scrambling to find The Borbendorfs’ payment. A single tear wells up, but he wipes it away frantically. Never let them see. Never let them know how it hurts.
One point to disagree on: less teens than ever are having sex, and with no actual experience, their imaginations are based on porn. No wonder they’re terrified of it, if their first impression is what comes up when you Google “boy girl have sex”.
One of the good things about living in Ireland is that I’m 99% our government is neither competent enough to perpetrate elaborate crimes against its people without being exposed almost instantly, nor powerful enough that even fascists getting into government would have a meaningful impact bar providing a colourful humorous segment of the inevitable documentary on Europe’s second fall to the Axis.
I work for a telecom. In my country there is well regulated legislation that specifies how and when the police can ask the telecoms for cell location data, usually used for missing people.
They also provide large scale, anonymised data for crowd movement analysis. For example it was used to demonstrate how 60,000 people moved into and out of a stadium located for historical reasons in an old-fashioned, dense residential area, in preparation for the arrival of English football fans.
I think there’s some useful context, if not a good defence of this story.
It’s one of the original stories told by Reverend Awdry told to his 2 year old, measles-ridden child in 1942 war-era England (Wait, is this making it worse?).
Awdry would sing/recite old poems to Christopher, who then pressed him for further details that turned into a story.
For example, the opening of that episode of Thomas features the Limerick that prompted the story, which was around at least since 1902:
In the original story by Awdry, there is only a single tunnel, and the train is completely blocking the line and essentially ruining a business. So stubborn is the engine, that they have to dig a new tunnel beside the old one. The rails are removed and “a wall” are placed in front of the tunnel, for safety - to prevent trains literally running into the wrong tunnel and crashing. The Fat Director/Controller is also pretty unsympathetic deliberately - he commands people to push and pull the train out without success, but doesn’t himself help - “My doctor has forbidden me to push”. However the original books follow the realities of steam engine and railway operation far more closely than the TV series did (and as a result, the original series, closer to the books, were far more realistic than the later ones).
As portrayed in the TV show it definitely comes off more villainous. But in the original telling we have to take away 70 years of Thomas trains having faces, personalities, relationships and familiarity. When originally told, the Henry story didn’t even take place in the same “universe” - there was just 3 abstract stories about trains, loosely based on old rhymes and news stories.
So your version of compassion towards this woman is “I hope she’s part of an elaborate election lie”?
I think he deserved it, don’t you?
Yes you are. But that’s not how school credit works?
Is that a school subject in America?
Which subject did “show up on time” give you credit towards?
Why would anyone have to sign up to Truth Social to see what he’s posted? Wouldn’t a single bot reposting it elsewhere do the job?
I’m pretty sure Musk is on board to hand him back the POTUS Twitter handle and say any censorship or moderation would be unconstitutional and unpatriotic. Regardless of the result, probably. He will not care if Truth Social tanks if he’s got that.
