That's a very healthy foal. You can tell by how shiny and waxy the mane is

Aaah I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying

Agree with the theory, but in practice what happens is the parties simply focus on courting the people who do vote and shift their attention to them even more, ratcheting the discourse further to the side that tends to have voters show up more reliably. It's far cheaper and easier to nudge a willing and reliable buyer (in this case, voter) to buy your wares than it is to go out and bring new buyers into the existing market. Not impossible, but I personally don't have faith in the plutocratic two party system the US has to self-reflect and seek out those disengaged voters instead of taking the easy route and pandering to the existing and reliable voter pool (at least not in the short term).

it might be worse in terms of brutality against police.

Oh noooo....anyway

This fight is about us taking from the rich, not from each other.

Beautiful stated, cutting right to the heart of the matter.

I do haha. I know it sounds gross to a lot of people, but once you get over the mental block of "only the fruit inside is food" that most of us are raised with, they're actually quite tasty. You can dry them out and make a tasty snack too if you don't want to raw dog them

Yes, I do. That's what I was saying I'm my comment above. And just because you perceive them as highly unpalatable, does not mean thst everyone else does too.

Vegetarian here so can't answer for the meat and bones, but absolutely on the fruit and veggie front. Peels have a ton of nutrients, texture, and flavour

Damn this is 🔥. Her cadence reminds me a bit of Biggy

Reminds me a bit of 69 if he was a woman (similar flow, loud color persona, similar way they annunciate words...etc)

Its been a few years since I checked, but as of 2015 at least the US, which is 5% of the world's population, give or take a few, had over 25% of the world's prison population. Total. Fucking. Insanity

Yeah, they're morons, but nowhere there do they claim they "defeated covid." What their statement implies is that they (in this case incorrectly) believed this event was not likely to be a spreader event due to overall lower numbers and impacts of covid nationally compared to 4 years ago. It does not imply that "they" specifically "defeated covid", that's clearly a feelings-driven logical leap on your part.

Who claimed "they defeated [covid]"?

It's a spammer with a hard on against mbfc who has been posting shit "memes" across different instances. Best to block and ignore whenever you see an alt pop up

With zero evidence, other than having watched their crusade against mbfc over this past week, this feels like a weird alt by /u/CaliforniaKove who has been spamming everything with anti-mbfc posts recently

It's the later. As the other user pointed out, lemmy.ml censors vulgar language by default

Lovely - mods are removing all comments that are pointing out that /u/CaliforniaKove has been spamming multiple instances with the same agenda for days now. I'm guessing pointing out spam and voicing disagreement is not allowed? Better yet, they're citing community Rule 2, which has to do with reposts and in no way applies to the removed comments. Unless they mean to cite Rule 2 of lemmy.ml, which is also absurd imo considering the shit that regularly gets posted on the instance (of which I'm a member). Normally I don't removed about getting comments removed, but not allowing people to express frustration with actual spammers, and removing their comments citing an anti-spam rule, is fucked up and smells of agenda pushing vs. actual moderation.

Is this shit your job? You've been spamming every fucking instance with this crap for days now. We get it - you don't like what the mods of LW did. Move the fuck on to a different instance or block their communities. There, it's that simple.

Fair. I meant more that we should do away with the term as it's a propagandized and charged term
