Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

What book should I read to my new rescue dog so he becomes accustomed to my voice and presence?

  • I had to stop reading this 1/3 of the way through, because it’s 4:30 in the morning and I was afraid I was gonna get really scared

  • I am determined to remake The Final Countdown. Except in my version, the battle the whole movie builds up to actually fucking happens in the movie, and 45 F18s and F35s absolutely fuck up 353 Japanese fighters in an epic battle. Then the American aircraft carrier captain chooses not to go back through the wormhole, and stays in 1941, and uses modern technology and knowledge to improve the world. Also the song “The Final Countdown” is in the movie.

  • Block them in phone, email, and any social media, stop talking to them, and do my goddamndest to stop thinking about them as well.

  • At age 46 I’m more smarter than them now than I ever used to be. They do literally 93% of things incorrectly, yet are convinced of the opposite, and that they are always the smartest people in the room.

  • Probably Definitely

  • If all these giant agricultural corporate concerns are so worried about money, which of course they are, maybe they should get their exorbitantly paid lobbyists to start pressuring their elected representatives to stop Trump from illegally implementing all these bullshit tariffs.

  • All these companies are gonna backtrack so hard on this AI fucking around when the find out part kicks in. And fuck them.

  • Given interest rates’ impact on the housing market, Trump has repeatedly demandedthat the Fed lower them. “You have cost the USA a fortune and continue to do so,” Trump told the central bank’s chair, Jerome Powell, in a handwritten note.

    But Powell and other Fed officials argue that Trump’s tariffs have created ongoing economic uncertainty, especially around prices. Some consumers say they’ve already seen prices rise, and cutting rates risks fueling more inflation.

    “It’s a risk we feel. As the people who are supposed to keep stable prices, we need to manage that risk,” Powell told the US Senate last month.

    Bangup job so far, Powell you asshole. I’d like to see how your mindset changes after spending a few years working a crap job for $35K a year.

    Not saying Trump isn’t also a colossal d-bag; but Powell’s entitled ass does not get a pass from me.

  • Yes. We know. We all know. I’m going to keep calling it out though. It’s the least I can do.

  • He has zero legal authority to be imposing the vast majority of these tariffs.

  • Sadly, Johnson can and will squash this, but I applaud Ro Khanna for introducing it.

    If only this were somehow privileged.

    A privileged resolution is a type of resolution that deals with the internal operations, rules, or constitutional duties of the House. Under House Rule IX, these can be brought directly to the floor by any member, without needing the Speaker’s approval.

    Types of Privileged Resolutions in the U.S. House:

    • Impeachment of a president or other civil officer
    • Censure or reprimand of a House member
    • Contempt of Congress (for defying subpoenas, etc.)
    • Expulsion of a member (requires two-thirds vote)
    • Challenges to the seating or election of a member
    • Changes to the House rules
    • Questions of privilege (issues affecting the dignity or functioning of the House)
    • Resolutions of inquiry (demanding information from the executive branch)
  • I sincerely hope any of this makes a positive difference

  • It used to be that there were consequences for fuckery like this. Congressional hearings, firings, resignations, getting blackballed from employment, and even impeachments. Now, it’s just another day with this inept and evil administration, and everyone just shrugs their shoulders.
