This is one of the most chilling movies I’ve ever seen, and it’s basically just bureaucrats sitting around a table discussing policy. Is it still available on whatever streaming service HBO turned into, or did they axe it too?

Better than a cat-less man-child.

As a Minnesotan I’d like to point out that Walz really isn’t a progressive, however, like Biden, he’s repeatedly shown a willingness to welcome everyone to the table, and (generally) not stand in the way of progressive legislation, even when he personally doesn’t agree, so definitely not the worst choice. But I say double down on minority women, nominate lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan instead, let’s get the first native woman in the White House!

I actually switched to Ubuntu full-time way back in 2006 when I went back to school (anthro major), specifically to help me focus when using my computer and not get distracted by playing video games. Of course, nowadays with wine and proton on steam, that might not be as effective. But it worked well for me, never experienced any issues with word docs opening in libre office (or rather open office back then) or vice versa. There was once or twice where I had to use a computer in the lab in the library to run some niche program or another for an assignment, but not a big deal.

we’ve been weakening in that regard over the last decade

That’s the thing, we really haven’t. 2016 got a lot of press because Trump lost by the narrowest margin since Bush vs Gore, but if you look at the actual vote totals, Trump didn’t do any better than the last 4 Republicans, slightly worse than Romney and Bush in 2004, in fact. The only reason it was as close as it was was due to the terrible turnout by Dems for Hillary in 2016. 2020 results were back in line with the norm, with Biden winning by 7+ points. So don’t believe the media’s click bait hype, Minnesota is not and never was in play. (Of course, that doesn’t mean we don’t need to vote, and don’t forget the down ballot races, which are arguably more important. And have you all voted in your primary yet? Early voting is open, election day is August 13th)

Better than Strange Brew?

god was just trying to get Judean citizenship this whole time, and we accidentally made a religion out of it. Whoopsie doodle.

Alternate perspective: Minnesota’s new Uber and Lyft law just cements their duopoly in place

Wait, so he’s admitting hunter’s laptop is a hoax? Or is his ephedrine addled brain having trouble keeping track of all of the lies?

The fuck is the “laptop from hell”?

This dude’s train of thought is, “my constituents are fucking morons, they’ll eat this shit up!”

You mean the ones where all the comments say [deleted]?

I always assumed the two communities were the result of some mod-drama/schism, if that’s not the case, nuking one makes perfect sense to me. Unfortunately the lesser used and formerly mod-abandoned community has the better underlying name, but what can you do.

I use wX from f-droid. It uses data from the National Weather Service, so it might not be useful if you are located outside the US.

I believe Bhutan is generally considered to be the happiest nation, but I’ve never been there, so don’t quote me on that.

Xcrement

I’m imagining a movie based on these events, played out as a comedy of errors. Probably in too poor taste for the major studios.

Isn’t it two thirds, or 67 seats? Not that that’s any more likely to happen.

Don’t be that asshole who tosses everything out of the dumpster and leaves it strewn around the parking lot or wherever. That shit doesn’t pick itself up.

I had to do that recently, ended up being easier to just temporarily change the password to something short on a pc, then change it back after.
