"We cant promise you much other than, if you visit us, we can guarantee you'll come back again !"
That's a really hard guarantee to live up to. It almost sounds like an ominous threat.
Yes, her name is already on the ballots, like RFK Jr is still on the ballots in many states, but the hope is her supporters will listen to her endorsement. Just because a person's name is on the ballot doesn't force people to vote for that person. Some people have voted already, some will continue to vote for her out of protest, some will continue to vote for her because they didn't hear she dropped out or didn't care. But the hope is enough people will hear that she dropped out and endorsed Harris that their votes will come through for Harris.
Response from Jill: Can you outbid Putin?
Maybe, maybe not. The fight could be a distraction to draw the air marshal into the open and into a vulnerable situation so that a highjacking can take place. As long as there isn't immediate danger of loss of life, they might choose to let some guy get punched in order to continue their primary job of protecting 300 other people. Or they might step in.
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's demonization of Latinos.
Makes sense to me.
Because his base eats this up
In California we've spent $11 billion over 10 years with nothing active to show for it. 120 miles are under construction but aren't finished or connected to anything. By the time the first usable section is completed (171 miles), it will be at $30 billion.
Was he charged with voter fraud or attempted voter fraud? For many crimes, attempting a crime is a separate crime that carries penalties even if not successful in the actual crime. Not sure if that is the case here.
Your argument is that it is on the system to deal with crime and that a person who commits a crime, even for what is perceived to be a good reason, should not be held liable for breaking the law?
I get that he didn't actually commit the crime in this case, so there is plausible deniability. But criminal court treats attempting a crime as a crime itself, though with lesser penalties. And in your scenario a crime would have been committed.
The headline is blowing what actually happened way out of proportion. It's a similar level of stupid as Philly.
I wouldn't call a single group looting a single street corner and attempting to set one bus on fire, "tearing the place apart."
Looting at several stores on one street corner in a city the size of LA... headline says "mass looting." Maybe I'm just used to a different level of looting after big protests in the past, but that doesn't sound like mass looting to me.
As much as I hate using cash, I understand that the credit card companies charge ridiculous fees to businesses and also that people with very low income don't always have access to digital forms of payment. Maybe Sweden does better with equipping their entire society with digital tools, but in the US I don't think we are ready for a fully digital payment society.
Old Volvos are basically tanks. A mid-80s 240DL is almost indestructible and is great for anti-gov assholes who don't want the government spying on them.
It's both, really. The wakes can be a significant problem in marinas, especially from bigger boats. Think of all those smaller sailboats and ski boats bobbing around at the dock when a large cruiser comes around throwing up a 5ft tall wake. Or even the people walking on the floating docks when a large wake comes across. Some of the gas stations are also floating on a dock.
Speed is also an issue in smaller marinas, but less so in large ports where a ferry like this probably operates.
The only reason I'm not happier that a non-striker won is he plays on City.
What EV trucks are out there? The F150 (can totally do truck things), the Silverado (can totally do truck things), the Rivian (can do some truck things), and the Cyber Truck (the less said the better). What other EV trucks are out there that can't do truck things.
My only issue with the EV truck scene right now is the issue I have with the truck scene in general. They are all too fucking big. I have a hybrid Maverick that is the perfect size for me and long term averages 40mpg. I would freaking love a full EV of it. The F150 and Silverado don't even fit in my driveway, let alone my tiny garage. They don't fit in parking spaces at work.
In order to stop the genocide we need to vote in the people who will destroy the country and commit even more genocide, in the hopes the wreckage of the country can be salvaged into something better. I'm comfortable making this choice, because the extra genocide will only be happening to other people, not to people like me who look just like them over here in the states.
Well, you see, when every single time election fraud and election interference has been found it is only on the same side, then it tends to make people think there might be something going on in that one side.
Community on Federated Instance not Updating/Syncing
Is there a way to force a sync/update of a federated community? When I go to https://soccer.forum I can see all kinds of recent activity. When I go to https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] I don't see any new posts for the last 16 days.
4 Teams Set to Play Back to Back to Back (maybe to Back) Games
Get the 2023 season MLS standings on ESPN. Find the full standings with win, loss and draw record for each team.
Both the Philly/New England and LAFC/Vancouver playoff match-ups are rematches of the final game of the season. There is a chance those four teams will play four games in a row in this new playoff format.
Can you change the ticket stock after purchasing?
Delta Air Lines, a leader in domestic and international travel, offers airline tickets & flights to over 300 destinations in 60 countries. Book direct at Delta.com.
I'm required by federal rules to buy a ticket through an American carrier for work travel, which means my flights have to be booked by Delta even if the flights are operated by AF/KLM. I want to fly on AF/KLM stock to get better MQDs, though. Can I call either Delta or AF/KLM to have them change the ticket stock after purchasing? I know the stocks CAN be changed, because KLM were forced to do it in order for them to book me on a new flight after mine was cancelled. I just don't know if there are special code words I can use to get them to do it for me.
High Probably LAFC and Vancouver Will Play 3 Games Back to Back to Back with New MLS Postseason Format... with a Possibility of 4!

I kind of hate it.
I didn't check Eastern Conference, but there is also a very very low likelihood of Houston and Portland playing 3-4 games in a row. That requires Seattle, Dallas, and San Jose all losing, LAFC losing, and Houston beating Portland by enough goals.
Subscribed community is not updating, but it does when not logged in
I found a very active soccer community randomly while surfing not logged in. When I got back to my computer that was logged in, I had the hardest time finding it. And when I finally found it, the community didn't show any new posts for the last 7 days and was far less active. I swapped to a different browser that wasn't logged into lemmy and could see all the newest posts.
So I tried subscribing to see if that would force a sync, but it didn't do anything.
Basically, when I'm logged into lemmy.world I cannot see any new posts on lemmy.world/c/[email protected] but when I'm logged out and go to the exact same address I can see all the newest posts.
LAFC brings their Leagues Cup form into MLS in a win against Colorado
Expert recap and game analysis of the Colorado Rapids vs. LAFC MLS game from August 23, 2023 on ESPN.
Vela returns with a goal and an assist. Olivera opens up his MLS tenure with a goal. Bogusz scored a good goal. Bouanga was dangerous and had a circus goal called back for a questionable foul. And McCarthy saved 4 shots in the clean sheet. It was a fun game to watch, though in person a lot of the calls from the ref seemed questionable.

Carlos Vela Discusses His Retirement Plans
There is no player more synonymous with LAFC than Carlos Vela, the club’s captain and first-ever signing before their 2018 expansion season.
Vela is an absolute legend for the club who has brought us 3 titles already. It will be a bitter sweet day when we get to send off our captain, our first ever and best player.
Transfer Rumors: Cifuentes to Rangers "Practically Closed"
Cifuentes has been pretty disappointing this season, though he's been a bit better the last few games. It would have been nice to have traded him when his stock was higher, but moving a young player to Europe is always a good thing. I'm not 100% well versed on the crazy MLS roster rules, but I wonder if this plus the Opoku move helps the club sign a new DP.
With League's Cup Bye, LAFC Finally Gets Rest Until August
Leagues Cup 2023 is a historic tournament between MLS and LIGA MX in August 2023
With the start of the League's Cup this week and LAFC having a bye through to the knockout round from holding the Supporter's Shield, the next match for LAFC isn't until August (date unknown). Let's hope the players are finally able to recover their early season form and use the time to gel on a more cohesive attack. My personal opinion is this year's Shield is already out of reach, so we should focus on League's Cup and, if we don't win that, then coast the regular season to rest up for the MLS Cup.
Start of the new LAFC community on the Fediverse
I've never started a community or modded a subreddit, so I'll be looking to hand this off to someone in the future. I just wanted to get our space started since I no longer use reddit. Please let me know if you are interested in moderating.
