I find it really odd that a migrant caravan or immigrant surge always seems to start on January in even years, and often are more frequent in years that are divisible by 4.

They suddenly disappear, never to be heard from the Wednesday after the first Monday in November.

I can't quite put my finger as to why but maybe someone smarter than me can look into it.

Don't think it's Randall himself but seems to be a partnership.

What If? The Video Series is the official adaptation of the 'What If?' books by Randall Munroe (xkcd.com) and is produced by Neptune Studios LLC

[Lemmy] dominates English-speaking sites, and most Japanese people don't use this site because they can't speak English. Therefore, we cannot get answers from actual Japanese people.

There was a documentary on LGBT rights in I think Nigeria and they were showing an interview of the religious leader talking about why being gay was an abomination etc etc. along with a guy who was for those rights.

The religious leader, in a very thick African accent says, "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."

One of the points that the film was making was how conservative think tanks actually try to push their agenda outside of the US. Because you sure as hell know that religious leader didn't come up with that argument on their own.

Given the number of TV shows and movies around this topic, I can sense this change coming.

If I have to interact with someone that's wearing goggles, I might go full Luddite.

Wasn't there some scammer that was selling pieces of the border wall? Like you could sponsor a piece of it and have your name on it?

These people are going to go home and be proud of how they defended the border and tell everyone about it.

"Immigrants stopped coming because we were there! See?! It works!"

It's sad that so many plugins like this exist.

Remember ExpertsExchange? They charged people for the correct answer but was in the top 10 results. They got blocked very quickly when Google, yes Google, allowed you to block any site from your search. That feature is now gone and you have to specify that in your search terms.

It's definitely worth learning. I had the damnedest time with docker until I went to a meetup and had someone ELI5 to me. And it wasn't that I wasn't technical. I just couldn't wrap my head around so many layers of extraction.

The guy was very patient with me and helped me get started with docker compose and the rest is history.

They are fiscally conservative in name only.

This just happened in my state when Democrats wanted to provide breakfast and lunch for students. A Republican said "But we can hire more teachers!"

Someone asked, "So you would support a bill using this money to hire more teachers?"

You can imagine his response.

These assholes use these excuses to get in the news and get in sound bites. They should never be trusted by themselves.

The problem isn't that you like cheap produce.

The problem is that corporations profit off of the exploitation. Your price could remain the same if the company was willing to accept less profit.

They would still be rich. Just not as rich.

And that's a problem with almost every company in existence.

For those who are unfamiliar with both Bandcamp and Bandcamp Friday, can you ELI5?

Honestly, I'd prefer a candidate who got orders from Santa Claus than from Jesus or God

Santa Claus has never, you know, killed people.

Yeah.....about that

They are only an entertainment network in the courtroom.

In the hearts and minds of their viewers, they are the very arbiter of Truth.

Back then, Amazon was the shit. My GF at the time and I cancelled our Costco membership because shipping was good and selection was better.

Now, Amazon is shit. And now back to buying in-store whenever possible. And got a Costco membership again.

I have a running cart in my Amazon and about once every two weeks I'll hit the purchase button.

Just not worth it anymore.

Yeah..

Hate to break it to you but our world is owned by like 11 companies

The main issue is confirmations. If enough Republicans hold the Senate, they can stall confirmation until their guy comes into office and then stuff the court further.

Tell me more...

Is it wrong for me to want this to happen?

Like if the team wins, that they pan to Taylor as she dons on a Biden T-shirt?

Let them foam at the mouth screaming they were right so that they focus on something stupid instead of trying to plan yet another insurrection.
