politics @lemmy.world•Supreme Court Justices Alito, Thomas not expected to retire this year: Sources
21·6 小时前One can always hope that hubris causes their downfall and they die early in a Dem presidents term, akin to how RBG kicked off during Trump term 1 when she could have retired somewhere during Obama’s time.

Relationship Advice@lemmy.world•My Son Wants to Change His Last Name to "Carrington" - Feeling Frustrated and DisappointedEnglish
4·13 小时前Because he watched some soap opera called “Dynasty” and fell in love with their last name. I mean, seriously? Changing his name to a fictional character’s name from a TV show sounds absolutely ridiculous to me.
All last names are made up though. Most were invented by some early bird in the lineage, and often were just job descriptions. How many Smith’s do you know?
He straight up said, ‘I couldn’t give a fuck less about you or your opinion. The fact that you think I should care proves how utterly stupid you are.’
So are you asking for help understanding what he meant by that? Cuz it sounds like his stance is fairly clear.
Change the will to exclude him if you feel that strongly, but its fairly clear you’re not changing kiddos mind. Antagonizing them by refusing to use their new name isn’t going to help if you want to see grandkids of any last name.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK none of the Nordic nations have a legislated Minimum Wage
5·1 天前In Oregon we changed our minimum wage to go up some each year for a few years then be indexed to inflation via the consumer price index. Feel like that plus an extra bit of indexing to population helps a lot.

politics @lemmy.world•Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas blasts progressivism as threat to America
15·1 天前Man who 100% benefitted from progressive policies in his youth seeks to pull ladderup behind him. Tale as old as time. Hell, he said he used a Carnegie library before desegregation.

politics @lemmy.world•J.D. Vance Speaks to Empty Arena at Turning Point USA Event
17·2 天前Erika Kirk—who became the chair and CEO of TPUSA following the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk, on September 10, 2025—was supposed to appear at the University of Georgia event but announced on social media that she would not attend because of recommendations from her security team.
Vance’s security team is the secret service, no shot her team thinks it knows more then them. She’s lying because she knows Vance is poison.

news@lemmings.world•American YouTuber gets prison term for offensive behaviorEnglish
341·4 天前Depressing that it’s only six months considering his tomfuckery, but better then the prior punishments he was getting.
Aside from the streamdeck, which tbh i coulda memorized some keyboard commands instead, I can justify the other streaming related buys like the webcam and fancy mic with the boom arm and pop filter as being useful if a bit extra for other shit.
I get dogwater viewers but I just shoot the shit and play stuff I was going to play anyhow so its a few extra bucks to play with some buddies on the proverbial couch heckling or rooting for me as the case may be.
I get PTO and my job is maybe two steps above flipping burgers. I ain’t going overseas but I can deffo take a vacation. If you’re in a red state or otherwise victim to similar ratfuckery, my condolensces friend.
That doctor is healing the boats
Imagine not living in a monarchy.
lol
lmao even
Seems like it takes you a while to block lemme help.
Oh someone is going to block me rather than admit they’re wrong. I’m going to lose so much sleep over this.
one of the stupidest arguments I’ve ever seen.
Odd, was gonna say that about you. How does one make a qualified claim without a qualifier? Is English not your first language, or are you just the tyoe of person to hand folks a piece of bread with some jelly on it and insist its a PB&J?

News@lemmy.world•Ex-CIA director calls for ousting Trump: ‘25th amendment was written with him in mind’
20·6 天前Per the 25th:
Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue [of the presidents inability to govern] … determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
It’s easier to impeach him rather then hit him with the 25th, impeachment doesn’t take his cabinet and 2/3 of the House and Senate to do it. It just takes a majority of the house and 2/3 of the Senate. Considering that didn’t work the previous couple times, I doubt something that adds an extra layer along with a more difficult vote would either.
Maybe one could argue something like “They’re waiting until after the two year mark so Vance can get the benefits of being the incumbent while also getting two terms” but c’mon, Vance is a charisma black hole. No shot that’s the plan. IMO until the outcry drops his approval to like, sub 20, R’s aren’t going anywhere near getting rid of Trump, and even then I have my doubts.
That a particular post “sounds” fake as hell is indeed a specific, qualified claim.
No, it still is not. Qualifying a claim means to carefully scope it and be honest about its limits rather then using a all-encompassing assertion. Saying something sounds fake is not a qualified claim. Saying something sounds fake because many of these ‘Karen’ types of posts are faked on the internet would be one method of qualifying your claim (albeit poorly), while providing specific details about why you believe this one in particular is fake would then be supporting your claim (just to head that argument off.). I encourage you to actually look up some examples of what a qualified claim is if you’re going to try to argue what is and is not one.
I’m not saying that nothing similar ever happened at any point in time which is what you’re trying to get me to defend.
I pointed out numerous counterexamples that we can both agree happen to showcase how this post could be true, which just showcases how your post lacks qualification. Your post was an absolute claim; It doesn’t acknowledge exceptions or counterpoints that one might make.
I’d recommend you bow out of this one, it’s abundantly clear that you’re in over your head here. Or you can keep arguing on the internet about how you’re arguing on the Internet, I’m not your dad. Just some dork who has as much or more free time as you do.




















The only time I cared about reviews on imdb was this one guy who had a absolutely ludicrous amount of porn reviews and looked exactly like the type of person to have a ludicrous amount of porn reviews.
