Republicans are obsessed with pelosi owning stocks as if she’s the only person in Congress who does it. I guess it takes the heat of everyone else… I read a list of the top 10 stock owners and profit makers in Congress, one of course the top ones were republicans.

It’s Breitbart. Of course it’s a horrible hit piece.

Wow, the NY Post is really living up to their reputation of being complete and utter tripe lately.

I don’t know where you live so I don’t have any relevant suggestions, sorry.

Not by voting for people in elections they can’t win. Vote at the local and state level or in primaries for people who will enact voting reform.

If someone came up and said that deluded gibberish to me I’d back away slowly and prepare to run while keeping an eye on them.

Because of how filesystems work. There’s basically an index that tells the OS what files are stored where on the disk. The quickest way of deletion simply removes the entry in that table. The data is still there, though. So a data recovery program would read the entire disk and try to rebuild the file allocation table or whatever by detecting the beginning and ends of files. This worked better on mechanical drives than SSDs.

A nice illustration is Republican media operatives are trying to attack Harris with “we checked with McDonald’s corporate and they have no record of her working there!”. For one, McD’s is franchisees and I doubt corporate tracks every burger flipper. Next, of course they’re trying to claim she’s dishonest, but what about the greater question: Did fuckin Trump ever come anywhere near McDonald’s? No, he inherited about $400 million, has misconstrued it it repeatedly (‘a small loan of a million dollars’, as if that is relatable either) and has never had any sort of normal job that required discipline or labor, ever.

What he’s saying makes no sense at all, in real life. Voting for candidates who support voting reform at the state level is the way to get more choices on national ballots. Convincing otherwise D voters to vote for 3rd parties helps Trump. Maybe not MAGA scum, maybe just misguided and clueless? Who can tell.

Best I can tell, the sinister goal of getting Trump elected because this tripe sure isn’t going to help Palestinians.

Seems fitting since you simply ignore the replies and logic that don’t fit your goals, whatever those may be.

Brilliant, I’ll just vote for a candidate who can’t possibly win. Then I’m all set.

We’ve been trying to tell this shining intellectual star and friends that for 6 months but somehow they aren’t able to understand those comments.

I’m pretty doubtful the luminary you replied to lives in or has ever even been to the US.

Makes sense… parsnips are pretty weird.

Right. I think people just see the downvote and pile on. It’s easier than actually reading the post and figuring out the person’s demeanor and whether it’s sarcastic and so on. There are a few other dynamics about that. Some people look for people whose posts are downvoted so they can chide them, scold them, insult or argue with them. I have had comments that are originally misinterpreted or targeted for ideology that end up turning around, though. Sounding rational or clarifying in replies sometimes works, as long as the comment wasn’t too far down before other people actually read it. If you get a defensive or insulting attitude, though, there’s nothing people on reddit like downvoting more than that.

That’s interesting! I noticed organic carrots often come with them and others don’t, and had heard they’re edible but had no idea what to do with them.

Some subs on Reddit are unpredictable. You may get totally different responses and it sometimes seem to depend what the first responses are. a couple of times I’ve made a post and the first answer is some sort of scolding “well you should’ve known better!”, And then everyone votes that up and the next five replies are the same… So I just deleted it, and reposted at a different time of day two days later, and the replies are helpful, sympathetic and supportive.

Because “greens” is the general term for plant leaves we eat such as spinach, chard, kale or the leaves of other vegetable plants like carrots. Some people just call them collards.
