  • Home charging is really nice actually

    Jump

  • Yeah. I sometimes have multiple long stops for very long trips, but you're right, that is very seldom that I have to stop at all. And I just plan something, like lunch, for those occasions.

  • How do you wash your back?

    Jump

  • Yeah. First I ball it up and scrub the perimeter before unfurling it and scrubbing back and forth at different angles.

  • Trump's Cognitive 'Decline' Suggests He 'Might Not Make It Through Four Years,' Republican Strategist Says

  • It's not like he's going to begin acting like an irrational idiot soon. Why would this change anything?

  • People with aphantasia, how does it affect your book reading?

  • I don't actively hate descriptions, but I used to just skim them. Now I sometimes slow down for descriptions if I think they might bring additional meaning or context. But then sometimes when it gets to be too much work, I'll go back to just skipping over them again lol

  • DHS considers reality show pitting immigrants against one another for citizenship

    Jump

  • The reporting states that the proposal has been submitted and had not been approved or denied. "it is being considered" could mean anything from someone there thinking it's a good idea and running it up the chain all the way to someone thinking," what is this shit," before stamping a denial on it.

  • This is immaculate

  • The YouTube Alternative Nobody's Talking About ! Peertube

  • I think posting it on Peertube would maybe be preaching to the choir.

  • Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which?

  • Haha smartass

  • I get some dead pixels when I open this

  • Trump’s own aides keep him in state of delusion about tariff fiasco

    Jump

  • I can't really tell what's real anymore

  • EU Member States have voted in favour of the European Commission's proposal to introduce trade countermeasures against the United States.

  • When he specifically asked them not to?

  • How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs?

    Jump

  • He won't be right about tariffs because he (and you, I suppose) has a gross misunderstanding about how tariffs should be implemented. Tariffs are typically used to strengthen a local product. Say that we wanted to support Napa wine. We might introduce a tarrif on importing wines from our largest competitors. This would increase the cost of the foreign product in relation to the domestic product and encourage consumers to buy locally. So, why won't this work if we just tarrif everyone for everything? Well, we don't make everything so they're isn't a local option to buy instead. Not just for you, but for the companies that make the things you consume. Oh, then let's just build up the industries to make everything. Even disregarding that we don't have the ability to produce everything due to, well, climate and resources, that would cost many millions of dollars and years of investment before seeing a profit. Which is a nice idea if businesses had any faith that the tariffs are permanent, which they don't not only because the current administration (likely lol) won't be in power forever, but also because the current administration has said that they are willing to negotiate. So why bother making the investment when you can import again soon? And lastly, if we try to strong-arm everyone at the same time, they'll just band together without us. They don't need to trade with us if they have an alternative in a more profitable trade partner, and we've just incentivized the entire world to look for a better option than us. We did that. All at once. The idiocy is frankly astounding.
