  • Secret Service: We Didn’t Turn Down Trump’s Extra Security Request

    Jump

  • I think most secret service are ex military, often special ops. Former SEALS, etc.

    You tend to get a certain kind of personality with that kind of experience. So you have to accept a little bit of risk with after hour entertainment.

  • MEGA THREAD - Trump shot but safe, 2 others killed at PA rally

  • It's going to mobilize his violent base anyway. We have some rough times ahead of us. I fully expect rampant domestic terrorism to increase as a result of this.

  • To be fair, I would label anyone trying to kill Hitler as an anti fascist. Unless it's someone trying to take over in his place, at least.

  • Biden introduces Zelenskiy as ‘President Putin’ at Nato summit

  • Man. You guys really can't read the bold subtext or what?

    This is literally the very next reply by the same user from the 2nd link:

    Instead of voting for war criminals, how about not?

    You don’t fill in a hole by taking a lesser amount of dirt out. Likewise you don’t fix the system by voting for the lesser evil.

    They are not being subtle. They do this all the time here. They intentionally avoid specifically saying "don't vote, both sides are bad", but their intent is abundantly obvious.

    I'm honestly amazed at how many people here are falling for this crap. They are all over lemmy making the same kind of tongue in cheek "both sides" layups. How the hell aren't you catching on?

  • It was a low effort reply to a low effort false claim.

    But sure, keep whining about how I'm attacking you somehow, or whining about me playing victim or something.

    Hope you find something to break you out of your funk so you can enjoy your weekend.

  • That's the point of linking comment threads, so you can see the context and read between the lines. One of those threads, their own replies remove any ambiguity of their meanings.

    And the reason those linked to the parent is simply how lemmy (vanilla, at least) works when copying a comment link. At least without fuss. And I'm on mobile.

    But whatever, there's plenty of context just from the original links I sent. I really don't give a shit if it's not wrapped up nicely enough for you. I quickly provided counter examples from comments older than his without even trying to find them.

  • My coworker and I literally tried wrapping an access point in aluminum foil to replicate poor connectivity. It didn't do shit. Even completely lined a cardboard box and put it inside with zero change.

  • Apparently people here aren't smart enough to scroll down to see the comments, so I'll quote.

    Going into survival mode forever, where either party can do whatever the frick they want, because they others mustn’t win! Nice system you got there, where it’s like 50\50 every time!

    They present you a Trump and therefore they can even kill your kids, as long as Trump doesn’t win. It’s a scam… both parties are in it. But they divided you all so perfectly fine, you stopped thinking a long time ago.

    Looking forward to your comments, telling me about NO BOth SIdeS!

    And Biden enables genocide, among a lifetime history of right wing views such as fighting for segregation.

    Trump and Biden are not good options.

    People should be furious the Dems allowed him to be in this position today, not sucking it up and pushing harder for it.

  • South Korean politician links rising male suicides to women

    Jump

  • I don't know about Korea specifically, but it's pretty common in SE Asia to have live in nanny's from poor countries to child rear when both parents are power career players. It's this not the case in Korea?

  • It couldn't possibly be that their entire country is basically oriented around one massive Corp that has infamously bad working conditions / office politics.

  • 'Pray for this burdened man': Republican mocked after telling House he does his own dishes

    Jump

  • It's a lot more convenient to me to just hit dishes with a nylon brush than to fully wash by hand. I see the dishwasher more as a sterilizer than a cleaner.

    Jump

  • Doubt liquid dishwasher detergent is the problem. He's probably not pre-rinsing before loading them in.

    Had a dumbass roommate that had steak and fries every dinner, and would leave the grease and a massive pool of ketchup on the plate every time, then run the dishwasher days later after everything was dry. All it did was bake it onto the plates and require some heavy scrubbing to get off.

  • 'Blitz primary' could open up Democratic race if Biden drops out

    Jump

  • That's a rather optimistic guess.

    Mine is that there is no viable candidate that would ever get their vote, and they're just going to dump on whoever the next pick is (if Biden drops out) and continue specifically disenfranchising dem voters.

  • 'Blitz primary' could open up Democratic race if Biden drops out

    Jump

  • It's funny how all of those "both sides" and "genocide joe" users that canvas lemmy with bad faith arguments are suddenly silent, now that Dems are scrambling to find a viable candidate.

    It's almost like their goal was never to find an alternate to Trump and Biden, but to specifically make Biden lose so that Trump would win. And now that it's happening, they're sitting back and watching the Dems implode.

    Funny, that.

  • A friend went through the army program starting at med school around 20 years ago. She just got her Oncology surgeon cert, which is ridiculously deep in the medical doctor qualifications.

    Seems like the program was effective to me. She had to move around quite a bit, but she also got access to the best hospital programs.

    I definitely was dubious about the entire idea of signing with the army, but it worked for her.

  • I liked it. The guardian is awful. Like the huffington post. It's the other side of the coin from Fox News, etc. Lemmy just doesn't like being reminded that progressives have biased news sources too.

    I don't always notice the source at first, so this was a good reminder.
