The National Owners Association said franchisees, suppliers and McDonald’s “must engage to support our California McFamily”

lot of mix and mingle events and stuff. they do all hang out together. sounds like maybe McEnroe had it first, and he interviewed and talked to a bunch of them face to face.

I like that this was published in 2020, before he ran for president and we acknowledged that he’s a moderate (read: conservative), rather than pretending he’s ultra progressive or some bullshit.

I will personally ban anyone who unironically supports Trump. Supporting hardcore reactionaries is reactionary behavior and not allowed.

But, I think we enjoy, in a sort of dark humor way, the ways that he spotlights the contradictions and flaws in our system. There’s also an almost incredulous hilarity to the things he is coincidentally right about sometimes, like making American foreign policy less hawkish.

The bird is the word

I was taught this at one point (though I’m not Christian), but isn’t the existence of such a gate irrelevant since the meaning of the phrase is unchanged? Like, either way, the point is that a camel is too big to get through the thing.

Sure. but that’s a lot of dead people to defend the principle of not letting Russia get what they want. We could have said “fine, we won’t expand NATO” and either Russia would have backed down or been forced to abandon that “pretense”. But we didn’t. We got into this dick measuring contest of “Ukraine can join if they want to 😤” and provoked a war. Which we wanted, in order to fight Russia without using American troops. But it’s completely to the detriment of citizens in both Ukraine and Russia.

I think a lot of it depends on your personal situation. For some immunocompromised people, the risk may be legitimately higher. And so in terms of it being “just like the flu”, I think it’s maybe more of a realization for people in those groups that it probably would have been a good idea to wear a mask in crowded public places before covid too, to protect against things like the flu. Masking has long been common in East Asia.

Thoughts on the use of geographic domains for vanity purposes? I know that’s come up recently as a topic of concern (including with lemmy, specifically), and personally, it seems like it’s both extremely widespread and also maybe shouldn’t have become super widespread given the actual implications.

I sometimes wish I’d gone to law school just so I could turn the tables in situations like this.

“On behalf of your former tenant, we’re prepared to offer you a settlement of $3000. It’s a very generous offer and I suggest you take it. The legal battle could draw out for years and get very expensive.”
