Michigan went to Trump in both 2016 and 2024.

I do see some downvotes and challenges true but there is too large of a percentage that are blaming everyone but themselves for putting us in this position by dissuading people from voting this last election. I'm sure a large part of it is just the tankie instances brigading though.

Likewise your opinion is dogshit to me. I'm glad the Palestinians are doing so much better under Trump. Blocking you now tankie.

Tankies like yourself have done the most damage by dissuading people from voting for Democrats and giving us the shitstorm we have now. Get fucked.

Nah. It's just fucking hilarious that you would say something that retarded unironically.

B-but what if I just want to be like 90% of Lemmies and removed about bOtH sIDeS and how the "Democrats are 98% Hitler" but literally not want do the bare minimum (voting) so that Republicans can win again and I get to keep removed?

The United States had a good run. I hope I see the entire West Coast secede in my lifetime.

Unfortunately it's land that votes, not people.

Maybe actually take two seconds to look next time before deciding to comment denying their existence.

Would that I could. If it were me alone I probably would have left the country years ago. But I have my husband and he is close to his family. They are already unhappy that we don't live in the same state as them. (My own family are pieces of Trumper Evangelical shit and I don't speak to them anyway)

For me it's the sound of the garage door opening.

 

The tankie try-not-to-be-a-raging-class-reductionist-queerphobe challenge: impossible.

I always got the sense when talking to class reductionist tankies that they were simply thinly veiling their bigotry and the "no war but class war" was just a way they could try to appeal to others while redirecting away from their own abhorrent beliefs. Just another example that tankies aren't really that different from MAGAts.

They want to bring together the working class of the left and the right but only on the social terms of the right since they know they can't challenge their bigotry and still win their votes. So instead they want us to shut up about our struggle for rights and only mention what they deem the "correct" struggle.

Looking for something that is kind of whiteboardy-pinteresty way of creating idea boards from images, text, links, etc. that isn’t tied to a subscription and I have full control of. Any ideas?

I’m looking for something that is less linear than Obsidian, but I do like Obsidian a lot for other things.

 

Trump’s tariff reversal came after he watched an interview on Fox Business with JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, during which the bank boss said that a recession was a “likely outcome” of the new trade policies, according to the Washington Post.

Trump was asked by a reporter on Wednesday when he decided to put a pause on the tariffs.

“I would say this morning. Over the last few days, I’ve been thinking about it. Fairly early this morning,” he said.

 

I keep trying to learn to draw but I simply suck at it no matter what. I’d love to learn how to draw all kinds of things like architectural drawings, or cute designs, etc. But I can barely even copy something if I have the picture right in front of me.

I’d like to take a class that teaches the basics of drawing that I could follow along with using Procreate or something. Does anyone have good recommendations for someone who seems unable to gain any proficiency at drawing?

 

We often think lots of animals are cute. Do some animals think humans are cute?

 

Democrats today are more likely to say they want their party to become moderate than they were four years ago, according to a Gallup poll published Thursday. The survey, conducted in the first week of President Trump’s second term, gauged partisan preferences on the ideological direction of respondents’ respective parties. Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 45 percent say they want their party to become more moderate, while 29 percent say they want the party to become more liberal, and 22 percent say they want the party to stay the same.

 
 

Learned my lesson. Will never do that again even though my boss’s boss told me to.

I’m officially quiet quitting and changed my LinkedIn to Open To Work, because fuck this job. The market sucks though so I’ll have to just fly under the radar for a few months until something better pops up.

I hate the fact that I have to work, and I’m just saving up enough money till I can get to the point where I can get some land and be self-sufficient on it.

 

I'm a dumbass and had someone come out and install a 240v outlet (and 120v). The reason I'm a dumbass is I didn't measure and had them install it in a place it wouldn't work for the appliance I am using.

I need to move the outlet a lot closer to the breaker box so I won't need additional wire or material, less actually.

I'm debating doing this myself. I technically have an EE degree but my day job is primarily coding, and any electronics I've worked on are usually the micro variety. I am aware of all the electrical safety requirements and in terms of technicality/connections, I think I just need to copy what has already been done but just remove a bunch of wire and place the outlet closer.

Do you think this is something I could take on myself with some research? My brother-in-law is also a proper electrician and I can facetime him.

Or do you think I should just ask the guys who installed it back and have them do it?
