I was getting at making the point that Republicans don’t leave because they’re not threatened. But I also get the emotions and fervor. I’m with you. I feel it and I wouldn’t take it away. It might be the only useful tool we’ve got

Did you reply to the wrong comment by chance? Or am I getting a shellacking for my laziness?

To be fair, the Dems don’t have candidates to threaten or promise murder for the other party.

He helped me so much. I learned an absolute ton because he gave me an easy and safe path to explore. RIP.

We have so many lessons from history to pull from right now that you would need multiple professors to explain them all and yet they were all ignored.

Most of the military will likely follow the law. Making atrocities lawful is going to happen very quickly after Jan 20th if not sooner from the way things are going right now.

Eventually. It will. How long? That’s impossible to say. As is how bad it will get before a correction occurs. Hitler was in power for twelve years. 70-85 million people died during his reign between slaughters and fighting. And Germany was not the strongest nation in the world (and definitely not the strongest by a wide margin) at that time. Imagine Germany starting off 1933 with the military might to fight two wars at once with the two strongest nations on the planet. And imagine their border was basically impenetrable by any combined force of countries while they fought those two wars. That could easily be where we’re going to be at. No one is coming to save us.

I’m pretty certain all out fascism is what we’re going to have. A handful of Democrats are not enough to hold democracy together. I don’t think it will be long before there’s not even a pretense of that being the case.

Those Democrats have careers and families they care about. It doesn’t take much pressure to own a few of them. Especially without checks and balances and add in some bootlicking appointees to the three letter agencies.

Have you seen our states?

These extremist patriots can’t be bothered to fill out a couple of circles in the name of democracy. It doesn’t feel cool.

No, I’ve been told a Trump victory couldn’t make anything worse for Palestine. This should just be status quo stuff here.

You absolutely can. You can send the US military directly in to finish the job. Or private military contractors. Or stop giving what aid is currently being sent. What doctors are currently there. It can and will get worse with direct involvement.

He doesn’t have to. He doesn’t have to do much. Though since he now has unfettered opportunity, I think he will. The groundwork is laid for theocrats to run everything down to the dark confines of the womb.

Part of the new Apple power bottom design strategy.

I’ve been doing the same. Koolada and extra sweetener are just the bane of my existence. I wonder if there’s an e-juice community on Lemmy… I should check.

I don’t think your information is quite right here. A nice (nice as in kind of the best that I’m aware of) pod style vape is about $30. A bigger box mod is under $60 for the ones I like from Vaporesso or Voopoo. Juice is let’s say liberally, $40/mo (120ml). I have been handing down vape mods for almost a dozen years. My buddy vapes a lot and he’s been using my hand-me-down vape for two years and it was 5 years old when I gave it to him. I only buy new because they get a little worn and I like the shiny screen and buttons. Absolutely all still usable. Best I can tell, disposables are about $10 for 3-4 days (according my partner who is annoyingly using disposables for “convenience”). You can get a nice mod and juice every month for the price of disposables from the real world numbers I’m seeing.

Depending on the size of your mom and pop, I think it would do much of it. At least keep things organized to do a demo of QuickBooks or give to an accountant.

Yeah I started using Actual about a week ago. Setup SimpleFin in a few seconds within a couple of minutes actual was auto populated. I ran into a syncing snag and messaged Simple Fin support. They worked with my credit union and I was all good in a couple of hours. Been running smoothly ever since. I really like it. And I don’t have the guilt of not budgeting anymore. Plus, ynab tutorials and advice are basically Actual tutorials.

They’re load bearing walls.
