Fair, this guy didn’t try to sell a seat on the U.S. Senate as far as we know. Just some garden variety fraud and money laundering.

I am shocked, absolutely flabbergasted I tell you. I feel as if I’ve been duped, bamboozled, and smeckledorfed.

While also bringing your own kid named.. checks notes .. Kayden. Of course the kid’s name is fucking Kayden…

Did you come up with that 81 behind, 91 ahead line? That’s pretty damn clever.

“The Former Guy”, it’s a thing Biden said one time during a presser and it took off to meme status very quickly after.

Oh no! Now TFG is gonna rage tweet rage Truth™️ at him while taking a nasty hamberder shit at 2am. What ever will he do?

Yikes. Good on you for buying a place. I got straddled with a $2500/mo place during COVID because my roommates all flaked before me lol. That shit was not fun.

That hardly sounds like “it’s not working” and more like the cap was just calibrated poorly at the start and needs to be expanded to cover more renters.

Yeah. Deegan seems like the kinda guy that at least deserves having a thing named after him. Meanwhile here in NY we also have a park named after TFG, and he threatened to take the land back if the state renames it..

The description of this combo being similar to lassi made it instantly 180 from vile to tasty in my mind. Now how long until I find myself buying 7up and milk at the store..

To be fair I never looked into it whether or not that was school policy, but I do know that Phys. Ed. credit was required. My gym teacher at the time was the type to have us running track while sitting on a lawn chair and munching McD’s breakfast, so he could have just been an asshole.

I was a fat kid. If you failed, you couldn’t get Phys. Ed. credit which was required coursework. They made you redo the test until you passed. The only other way out was a medical exemption. I eventually passed, damn near keeling over from the pain my lungs were in from running the mile. It made me resent my gym teacher and cardio, so in hindsight it was a pretty shitty way to encourage physical fitness. I didn’t get not fat until I was like 19.

Much better to just post an archive link. Lemmy’s not really big enough to garner this kind of attention yet, but copying article text wholesale is a good way to get DMCA claimed and that’s not fair to do to instance admins.

We are truly living in the dumbest timeline.

Hey it’s all good dude, everyone makes mistakes. I appreciate the follow-up comment and constructive discussion.

I’m no expert on French politicians, but a very quick wiki/google search reveals that the former prime minister, Élisabeth Borne was implied to be a lesbian by a French publication that she later sued, denying their assertions. I would hardly call that “openly gay” and it’s pretty scummy of that publisher to invade someone’s personal life like that.

As for the comment on US journalists, the BBC was also reporting Gabriel Attal’s appointment using the language “openly gay” as early as 06:03 UTC.

As an American I have plenty of bones to pick with the media here, but your comment comes across as ill-informed, bashing on American journalists just because rather than for any substantiated reason.

Jeopardy was already all over his story; there was a prompt the other night about a House speaker that required 19 rounds of votes (or whatever it took idr) to be elected speaker.

Yeah.. I don’t like when it happens, but I’m not too proud to admit they got me.

I think talking about it and rightfully criticizing the right outweighs the potential danger of hypothetically handing them a playbook. They’ve shown time and time again that they won’t listen to criticism, and they’ve got such an echo chamber that doubling down on this behavior is likely worth more political capital anyway. So what’s left after that is a piece that draws attention to this manipulative behavior, and adds to the body of evidence that these people do not have your best interests in mind and never will. If that convinces even a small number of fence-sitters to vote smarter, then it’s worth it.

Wtf is wrong with people..
