There are (rare though they may be) people like me who actually know the ALT code for em-dash by heart and have used it for years long before AI. Thanks to people now just assuming I’ve switched to double-dashes mostly.

News@lemmy.world•Washington state progressives strike big business tax break from 'millionaire’s tax'English
2·16 hours agoLast I read, doesn’t WA currently have some of the more regressive taxes in the country?
Progressive here. I vote in every primary and try to rally support for the most progressive in my coalition. Come November, I vote against fascists which means voting for Democrats because they’re obviously better in every way.
If you don’t vote or vote third party, congratulations, it means you were duped by right-wing propaganda or don’t understand how our election system works and the inevitable binary outcome that comes with FPTP and whole you didn’t give fascists +2, you gave them +1.

15·1 day agoCan’t blame you, really.
But why did Carney come out and openly support the strike on Iran?
How do Canadians feel about that? Any polling?

politics @lemmy.world•James Talarico beating Jasmine Crockett in Texas Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, poll showsEnglish
29·4 days agoI do, or did too. But I frankly like how Talarico packages his points much better and in a way that reaches “moderate” or Independent swing-voters more effectively.
I also saw Crockett took a $25k trip paid for by AIPAC and that’s a deal-breaker alone for me. Though Talarico took took money from Adelson’s pac before he went viral, it seems that was related to casinos. Both imperfect, I guess.
Watch some of his recent speeches, or the videos that made him viral this past year. He has fully embraced the Fight Oligarchy strategy of AOC and Sanders.

politics @lemmy.world•Democrats defy their leaders by relentlessly disrupting and heckling Trump SOTU speechEnglish
72·6 days ago“Leaders” is a bit of an overstatement.
Representatives of Israel probably more apt.
Yep! Those would be what are called, “edge-cases with health conditions” as aforementioned. Were you unaware of this?
There is but no better thing to do than to reiterate that which was said for those who persist with fingers-in-ear denial without substantive refutation:
-
I did not.
-
I guarantee their discharge paperwork and instructions were clear on this.
-
I explicitly noted noted, “edge cases with health conditions aside.” (Ding Ding Ding)
Yes, of course follow guidelines by your doctor(s) and for specialized procedures. I thought it was extremely obvious my suggestions were preventative in nature.

News@lemmy.world•90% of Prostate Cancer Tumors Contained MicroplasticsEnglish
3·7 days agoNaturally, more studies need to be conducted and microplastics have only been intensively studied beginning this past decade (PFAS being separate and longer). Similar to the carnivore fad diet, odds are exceedingly-high that having microplastics is not good for us but long-term and fully causal studies have not fully identified all mechanistic linkages. Yet I recall tobacco industries rhetorically hiding behind these arguments in a similar manner despite growing concerns from scientists and medical professionals.
I just take issue with the implication of the other user that this is as harmless as ubiquitous and as fearmongering as water. That in itself is absurd.
Microplastics should not be in our fucking bodies. Water should.

politics @lemmy.world•Gunman shot dead in Mar-a-Lago was ‘fixated on Epstein files’ and big Trump supporterEnglish
19·7 days agoTo me if I had to bet this sounds like a classic case of the smartest Trump supporter (now I know that isn’t saying much) in the family having the spell broken, and disillusioned, getting extremely upset at realizing he and his family have been duped.
Yes, I’m aware — hence why it’s an exception to my advice. Is English not your first language? Because this sounds like trolling or gaslighting.
This is why reading comprehension is important.
