  • House Democrats' support for impeaching Kristi Noem is exploding

    Jump

  • I'm saying that if Democrats fight for the people, they will see better voting outcomes. What does that have to do with the last election? Democrats didn't fight for us from 2020-2024, so they lost voters, which is complimentary to my point.

    It was great that Biden's policies helped slow down inflation, but that's pretty much all they did. There were no consequences for treason, no big investigations, no major reforms of the political system, no safeguards for rights put into place. The last thing a major Democrat did in TX was when Obama had tacos in Austin over 10 years ago.

    Look at the voting record and it echoes my point.

    In 2004, Bush 4.5 million, Kerry 2.8 million

    In 2008, McCain 4.5 million, Obama 3.5 million after Obama ran a campaign about a better future giving us something to vote for

    In 2010, the ACA passed

    In 2012, Romney 4.6 million, Obama 3.3 million McConnell succeeded in preventing a lot of Democrat proposals from being passed and the democrats weren't able to fulfill a lot of things during the tike before this election

    In 2016, Trump 4.7 million, Clinton 3.9 million Marriage Equality had recently passed and Democrats proposed the Equality Act and were very vocal about the potential consequences of an election loss

    In 2020, Trump 5.9 million, Biden 5.3 million, Democrats made promises and said they would fight for rights. Many democrats aligned themselves with protests and even with some tonedeaf messaging, attempted to show a united front against the chaos

    In 2022, women lost the right to bodily autonomy In 2023, Women's Health Protection Act was introduced but went nowhere

    In 2024, Trump 6.4 million, Harris 4.8 million after democrats revealed the United front was a ruse and failed to follow through on issues that won them the 2020 election even though the threat of chaos was even worse than we had seen in 2020.

  • The repercussions for those democrats would be greater numbers of people voting for them in the future. Arizona and Texas have more population that are vulnerable to dhs attacks, so any house members against the impeachment are acting against their constituents. Sure the state government won't like it, but it would at least be something they do for the people.

  • Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night

  • Wow, that's cool! I've never even heard of a clock face like this before today. Definitely haven't seen one, even as a mid-millenial.

  • Minneapolis hotel worker fired over 'doxxing' of ICE agents

    Jump

  • 30% is still a lot

    IIRC, Trump received votes from about 1/3 of the voting populace including those eligible and didn't bother to cast a vote

    From what I remember in US History, about 1/3 of the populace wanted a revolution, 1/3 wanted to remain loyal to the king, and 1/3 didn't care. We are currently around that territory with Trump.

  • Minneapolis hotel worker fired over 'doxxing' of ICE agents

    Jump

  • I'd only heard of Hiltons. That Hampton Inn that was disenfranchised for refusing service to ICE was part of the Hilton brand. Hilton issued an apology to ICE/DHS. Also, I believe, the hotel that drew the loud protest overnight after Renee Good was murdered was a Hilton.

  • Not to mention the awful UI for the PS5 and potential lack of a disc drive, so you may not have a bluray/DVD player

    Also I have to turn off the ps5 controllers before plugging them in or they won't charge.

  • It's a joke about Mary becoming pregnant with Jesus. Although I'm not sure why Gabriel is the one doing it. At least one of the gospels says that the Holy Spirit "comes down upon" her to impregnate her and Gabriel was just the messenger who told Mary that she would carry a child.

    The story is different depending on which gospel you read

  • Putin tells BBC the West is 'making Russia the enemy'

    Jump

  • Yeah the Russian propaganda machine doesn't mind what Trump is doing.

    It's my understanding that Jade Helm was the pilot test to see what they could do with social media. Seeing how successful it was they turned their sights to the primaries and ramped up their efforts in the 2016 election.

  • If you had to replace the floppy disk save symbol in software with a new symbol for saving what would you choose and why?

    Jump

  • Isn't that used as an icon for moving a file from one folder to another?

  • Putin tells BBC the West is 'making Russia the enemy'

    Jump

  • Don't forget 2015 Jade Helm Scare, where they were testing their ability to manipulate using crazy stories on social media. Russia was able to convince gov Abbott of TX to order the TX National Guard to observe training exercises in Central TX because he was convinced that Obama had ordered the army to go into Walmarts, turn them into makeshift detention facilities and was planning to round up people that voted against him in a hostile takeover of the state. Obviously, it was just a training exercise, but the fear on the right was extreme.

  • Until reading the comments, I didn't know people actually owned these. I thought it was supposed to look like the stripes of a bee on a stick as a gimmick to sell. But according to the comments, it's designed that way so you can twirl it if your honey container is far away from where you want to spread the honey to keep from dripping everywhere.

    I've never seen one of these in real life, whether at home or traveling. I've been to almost all 50 states and 10 other countries.

  • Johnny Depp played Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows.

    Viktor in Underworld played by Bill Nighy

    Adam Sandler's Dracula and his daughter, Mavis, in Hotel Transylvania

    I don't remember the character's name, but one of the Dark Brotherhood in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion was a vampire. There was also a big vampire quest line in a Skyrim expansion

    Dracula in Castlevania

    Dracula in the song monster mash (as a character he also shows up in some of the other songs from that band)

  • Plastic bag bans are actually working, a new study suggests

    Jump

  • When it had a plastic bag ban in place, the town of Laredo, TX saved something like a quarter or half million dollars a year on waterway cleanup because there were so many less plastic bags blocking everything.

    Then the legislature and maybe state Supreme Court struck down the bans.

  • Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job

    Jump

  • Hopefully management learned from this, given that the sign is probably from 2023 (last time that Dec 23rd and 24th were on Sat/Sun)

    Relevant through Christmas and the New Year

  • If it's a smart TV, it's probably there. Might be under a different name. I think my 6 year old Samsung calls it motion smoothing
