THANK YOU

I’m normally critical of Biden but this is one of the few times I’ll say it. Biden staying in the race is the best thing he can do.

It doesn’t matter when he drops out at this point, the time to do that was 8 months ago. If he drops out now and there’s an open convention, democrats lose in November. If he drops out after the convention, and the DNC chooses a different candidate to replace him, Democrats lose in November.

The last time anything similar happened, there were riots outside the DNC in Chicago and Hubert Humphrey safely handed the office to Richard Nixon.

Fun fact, Hilary Clinton attended the protests.

What happens at the Y stays at the Y

You mean every opinion I don’t like isn’t automatically a tankie Russian bot???

Closer to 10. Yes.

This is a pretty common thing in the American Midwest. You see it a lot around houses on the tops of hills, especially in new construction. It looks kinda silly for a few years but it’s the best you can do sometimes.

Pack it in guys this is the comment.

Hey now, the felons I work with are all cool dudes just trying to rebuild their lives.

The sons of car dealers are all working in the main office trying to fuck up our lives.

They may be preparing for a remodel, in which many of the shelves get torn out and replaced with new ones. They don’t want to shut down the store to do it and need a lot of storage space to hold shelving while they replace units one at a time over night. So already clearance stuff gets clearanced harder to get it out of the way.

This has been brought to you by your surly neighborhood shelving guy.

Is this maybe at a hobby lobby?

This was a different person. They’d taken a username of someone popular in a number of communities on Reddit and were purporting to be that person.

There was, back when I was active there. Around the time I migrated to Lemmy there was some drama and I believe that user was suspended. I don’t check it frequently enough anymore to know if there’s a current Picard maneuver surrogate.

They are always with you

Always with you

They are always with you

I can hear them.

With you.

Can you hear them?

I can hear them

With you.

I can hear them calling. Crying. Screaming. Scratching. I hear their voices as a crescendo. I hear them faintly as a soft breeze. They are with me.

Can you hear me?

I’m a machinist, I don’t get to choose my units. We use standard and try to avoid metric dimensioning like the plague. The difference between .005 inches and .005 millimeters is literally an order of magnitude.

Potato cure sadness. If standard potato does not, fermented potato will do

But potato love you

I am the potato

No. To both things. POST OR REMAIN

I tried to be active on writing prompts back in the other place, years ago.

So many of these things are written in first person that it’s grating to the eyes.

What there’s loads to do. You can awkwardly try not to touch the person next to you. You can hold it, because you’re stuck in the middle or window, and you don’t want to disturb the person next to you. You can drink the 2 oz of diet Coke they give you before they bring you peanuts, then desperately try to suck any amount of liquid out of the cup of ice you’re left with. You can try to get to your bag under the seat in front of you, fail because your feet are in the way, and spend the rest of the flight wishing you hadn’t done that.

Loads!

His first attempt was in 2000 with Jesse Ventura in the reform party.
