Why is this presented in the form of dialogue from Ecco the Dolphin?

Nothing “mildly” about this shit!

My city and state both have so-called “Complete Streets” policies, yet still fail to do that. They’re literally violating their own rules, but it would take a lawsuit to stop it.

They’re learning!

He shouldn’t even be on the ballots in 2028!!!

Things you just categorically could not do with a game running from a disc instead of a cartridge, BTW.

It still absolutely floors me that we’re even talking as if he’s eligible to run.

I literally haven’t bought gas in a month.

I’m a bit surprised the Christian following hasn’t gone there.

Isn’t a big part of it how the Antichrist deceives people into following him who ought to know better?

This kills the SEGA.

Seriously, the infighting and cannibalized sales between the 32X and the Saturn are a big reason why SEGA doesn’t make consoles anymore.

So like I said, hopefully she’s planning to run, just smart enough to not say it yet.

Being a Representative, she’s got an entire other election to win between now and the next Presidential election anyway.

Announcing that she plans to go for President (and would therefore be leaving the House) might attract primary challengers.

There have been softball interviews and debate for liberal/conservative/fascist candidates the corpos like. Leftist candidates, on the other hand, get a hostile treatment or get ignored entirely.

In theory, a Mastodon instance could see content from a Lemmy instance (and Pixelfed and Loops and so on) as they all use the same underlying protocol to trade information, but in practice, it seems that sites basically stick to trading with other sites in their wheelhouse.

Whenever you see somebody linking to the user they’re replying to at the beginning of their comment, you’re likely seeing somebody posting from Mastodon because their UI is user-feed-oriented instead of thread-oriented.

Apparently you’re right: the other reply cites the letter.

But still, Ben Franklin is famous for a ton of stuff, including actual published works full of quotable aphorisms like Poor Richard’s Almanack (as opposed to some random private letter that was only published after-the-fact). Meanwhile, Blackstone is remembered mainly just for Commentaries on the Laws of England, of which the Blackstone’s Ratio quote is part. Can’t we let poor old Mr. Blackstone have this one thing?!

It was £1.30 before Epstein Fury started.

Which, according to DDG search assist, equates to about $6.16 per US gallon, right in the middle of the range of prices on the grandparent commenter’s map.

In other words, Americans are indeed now paying European prices [i.e. what was normal for y’all before the price shock].

There are lots of things that seem “obvious,” but are actually wrong. The idea that you have to means-test aid to avoid “abuse” (according to some presupposed definition of “abuse” that ought to itself be debatable, BTW) may or may not be one of them, but what is definitive is that you’d have to be a moron to not even be willing to think about it first.

So let me get this straight: you think spending more money overall to provide aid to fewer people is A-OK, and yet I’m somehow the moron for wanting to save money and help more people?

That’s some hateful fucking bullshit on your part. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Also, probably half the recipes have their ingredient ratios thrown off by shrinkflation, since they were designed to use whole packages (for even more ‘convenience’) instead of giving proper measurements. And even if you did convert them to real units, nobody wants a recipe that needs 1.25 tubs of Johnson & Mills Bean Lard Mulch because a tub is now only 80% the size of what it used to be anyway!

No.

I don’t care what’s in it or what other fevered rationalizations someone might try to make; just No.

I don’t know what the fuck that monstrosity is, but what I do know is that it is neither a snack nor a sandwich!
