Doug@midwest.socialto politics @lemmy.world•How House Republicans Will Try to Prove Bribery in Biden Impeachment Inquiry (Exclusive)English6·2 years agoEven if there were any Republicans at fault, and obviously there can’t be because they’re always so great at their job of serving the American people. Even if there were bad ones they’d be the ones in other areas that I can’t do anything about. Everyone I vote for is always the best candidate and does everything right.
It’s those other ones. They’re the problem.
Doug@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is lemongrass and all the other hippy-dippy calming tea ingredients bullshit?English23·2 years agoA worthwhile thing to keep in mind whether it’s for tea, supplements, or whatever, is that medication is based on things that were observed from “natural” sources.
For example, willow bark was/is/has been used for pain and inflammation. It also contains salicin which is similar to acetysalicylic acid, which you’ll know better as aspirin.
Does that mean all the things people say do a thing work? Not at all. Do some of them have varying degrees of effect of some percentage of people? Yes.
Doug@midwest.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Newspaper Editor Slams Elon Musk For Fueling ‘Fire Hose of Hatred’ And Death Threats Directed at Its JournalistsEnglish20·2 years agoOh I’m not directing to complaint at you at all. Apologies if it sounded that way
Doug@midwest.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Newspaper Editor Slams Elon Musk For Fueling ‘Fire Hose of Hatred’ And Death Threats Directed at Its JournalistsEnglish41·2 years agoMr. Fragile Ego here may be one of the only people a “slam” might matter to.
It still almost certainly doesn’t and it would be nice if the word stopped being such a mainstay of headlines
Doug@midwest.socialto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Namecheap ups its prices 9% for .com and .xyz this fall.English5·2 years agoNah. I’ve had a domain registered with them for years and I just got the email too
Doug@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would you rather be illiterate or have no legs?English3·2 years agoprosthetics and bionics are taking leaps and bounds
Heh
Doug@midwest.socialto politics @lemmy.world•64% of Americans say they wouldn’t support Trump: pollEnglish62·2 years agoThere’s a Mitt Romney 37% joke in there somewhere
But yeah. It’s a terrible truth
Doug@midwest.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•Biden asks Congress for $40 billion to support Ukraine, replenish US disaster aid and bolster borderEnglish5·2 years agoAnd if a home invader with commercially available arms so decided it’s the end of your family. That’s how scale works.
But you don’t give in to a bully to avoid violence. That’s how you get more people/countries bullied.
This is not intended as a threat of violence. This is an analogy to make a point that should be obvious
Doug@midwest.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•Biden asks Congress for $40 billion to support Ukraine, replenish US disaster aid and bolster borderEnglish4·2 years agoMy quote, not theirs. Also Russia is a bully. Similar to the kind that takes lunch money, but on a much larger scale
Doug@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is Evil more powerful than Good? Why or why not?English5·2 years agoNot more powerful, just more willing to do whatever to get what they want.
If good people always lose then why do we still have good people? Why do good acts still occur?
Doug@midwest.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•Biden asks Congress for $40 billion to support Ukraine, replenish US disaster aid and bolster borderEnglish173·2 years agoYou’ve got an important word there. Scale.
Countries aren’t people but they’re made up of them. It wouldn’t take nuclear weapons to annihilate your household.
Russia has invaded Ukraine’s home and tried to lay claim. Now you’re suggesting they give up what was taken from them to satisfy your desire for peace.
The analogy the other person used is fair. In another analogy Russia is nothing more than a bully. We’ve long moved past the time where the advice we give is to just give the bully your money so they don’t beat you up and take it anyway.
Doug@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What would sell better if people knew about it?English624·2 years agoI don’t know but if I did I might buy it
Is that related to the mystic esquilax?
You’ve got a point. A whole lot of boomers are annoyance issues leading us millennials to not answer our phones
What can you tell me about the pompatus of love?
Doug@midwest.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Update: The hottest 21 days ever recorded were the last 3 weeksEnglish1·2 years agoI’m not saying you can or that you’re expected to. Just like a single rain drop doesn’t make a flood.
But if every rain drop got discouraged from falling because it can’t make a flood all on its own we’d have been in droughts earlier and more often.
As far as likelihood, I think we’ve been approaching a revolution of some kind or another for a couple decades at least. It could be a violent one like the French Revolution, or a cultural one like the Industrial Revolution. Time, events, and people will make that determination, but the visible unrest with income disparity grows more obvious on a pretty regular basis.
Doug@midwest.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Update: The hottest 21 days ever recorded were the last 3 weeksEnglish11·2 years agoAre they going to go just because you say they have to, or will action be required?
Assuming it’s action does that happen with apathy or do you have to care?
Caring a “whole awful lot” does not start and stop with green initiatives by the people.
The “do you care” flow chart boils down to two directions:
- No > then it doesn’t matter
- Yes > then what are we going to do about it
Which branch gets to what you’re talking about?
Or even just a board game night.
Maybe it just means boring guys. Drinking is a secondary activity, not a primary one.
