Funny how they care about the rights of states selectively.

He did have a gigantic fuck up. He fucked up the response to covid-19. Badly. And how much did his fuck up make the situation worse in the rest of the world?

74 million people still voted for him in 2020. During and immediately AFTER that fuck up.

That is amazing.

He really was. My best friend. We had so many adventures together.

When my wife and I were getting serious, she said something like, "I'm not sure what to do about Snowball. I don't think he likes me." I said, "Are you serious? He loves you! Why do you think he curls up on you when you're laying on the couch? That cat might like you more than me." She had grown up with dogs and just didn't know cat language.

Snowball is gone, and a kitten we adopted late in Snowball's life has also passed away from medical issues (and that one hurts so much, too - poor thing was only 7 years old - at least Snowball got a normal cat lifespan). But we have three cats now, and a dog.

Snowball. That was his shelter name, but I'm a fan of the Simpsons, so I had to keep it.

I had a cat that was a total food fiend. Eating pizza was hard because he'd try to get some for himself.

When I would make burgers on the grill, the food I prepped in the kitchen - bun, lettuce, tomato, etc. - had to go in the microwave or he'd grab them while I was working at the grill. He was relentless.

One time I had some friends over and warned them to watch the food. They didn't believe me when I said how quick he could be. Later, I found part of a burger in my bed.

Another time, he and I were staying at my parents place, and I got up one morning after they had left for work and noticed a red spot on his white fur. I asked my mom about it - turns out he had pushed a cake in a container off the counter to get some icing that was on the outside edge, and the spot was icing.

He had a lot of food allergies, so he could only eat one specific variety of prescription cat food, which he didn't like very much. That's what drove a lot of his actions. I couldn't blame him. Unfortunately, the food allergies were IBS that eventually evolved into cancer.

I miss him. He's been gone 10 years now, and I still think of him a lot.

Aren't we all?

Both now gone.

I was just thinking the other day someone needs to cut out a picture of Trump pointing for this purpose. If he actually implements all the things he's saying, there will be MANY opportunities to slap that on prices (even if it's only in memes online).

Makes me wonder what they'll write about Trump when he passes.

"A leader beloved by all..."

Don't forget 2 liters of soda!

I just ignore questions that I'm not interested in answering.

The other day, someone asked in the Linux community here on Lemmy why people don't like Ubuntu. It seems someone asks this question every few months. I thought, "I've answered several times, I'm done answering it, let someone else take care of it." Last I saw it had over 100 comments, so I feel the issue is resolved.

Wait, I thought those were liberals posing as right wingers in order to discredit the MAGA people! Now he's going to pardon them? Whose side is he on, anyway?

It's not really even that. It's when jurors believe the law should not apply in that specific instance for some reason.

For example, you might be opposed to the laws against drug possession in small amounts. You could vote "not guilty" if you were on a jury where someone was on trial for violating that law, even if it's 100% clear the defendant did, in fact, break the law. That would be nullification.

I think I see where the admins are coming from in the sense of using nullification as a way to get off from a crime in planning (but, let's face it, the odds that are EXTREMELY slim), but they already covered planning crimes as being against the policy. Why bother calling out the nullification part?

Well there was that one time the vending machine decided to attack, but in general, it's a human causing it to fall over.

The use of my ANT+ adapter with Zwift. But Bluetooth via the phone worked for 62 miles and several hours today, so I guess that will suffice.

Don't worry, I'm sure the Trump administration is gearing up to pin the blame on Obama and Biden. And Harris, for good measure.

"I'm going to remind Fry of his humanity, the way only a woman can."

"You're going to do his laundry?"

Edit - the one that had me literally rolling off the couch because I was laughing so hard was, "That just raises further questions!"

I think his idea is that Mexico and Canada will, in response, do something about the illegal immigrants they're sending to the US.

Yes, it's deranged, but it's also Trump, so what do we expect.
