I freaking wish.

I have a vacation to the EU planned in December. Wondering how much more expensive it’s gonna get by then.

Wow. I’m looking at all these “no” responses and they ring so much of the MAGAt’s yelling about “anchor babies”.

I mean that’s credit cards in general. The alternative would be to switch to a debit card, but as a consumer there’s quite a few protections I’d lose out on like charge backs and fraud protection.

I have one of their cards but I pay my balance off every month. They have got to hate me.

I could tell recently. They’ve been seriously fucked up for Closed Captions. Only made worse by a bug recently where every episode starts with them enabled even if I have them turned off in the settings.

So she was completely fine with everything else, it’s only because of one small exemption that she thinks people shouldn’t vote for it… riiiight.

Oh I can find quite a few

When the states governor and the top members of the Democratic Party in congress are refusing to endorse the democratic primary winner, they are the DNC. This is Bernie all over again.

They very much own the DNC. Just look at the reaction to the NYC mayor race.

Anyone ask her point blank why she voted for it then?

If a hacker can do it, you can damn well bet multiple nation-states are just chilling in the systems slurping everything up.

Okay MacGoober, my point was if you ever did meet anyone as a result of your post here, you’d be tying your profile to who you are IRL.

Are you’re kidding, that’s the best time to go. Make them regret their choices, both then and now.

Brave that you’re using your Lemmy profile for your dating profile and that you’re willing to tie those comments to who who actually are in the real world.

Granted… you’re born in a house of someone living in the school district when your mom who was making ends meet by cleaning houses went into labor and couldn’t make it to a hospital.

(Couldn’t resist)

Didn’t say that it wasn’t there. Just that it got a lot worse after 9/11 and the following years.

It honestly still felt like a “sky’s the limit” mentality like it probably was in the 50s. The internet and computers were just really starting to catch on and everyone was talking about how great they would make our lives and people were doing what they could to deliver on that promise.

Terror was something that wasn’t really on peoples radars. You could still go directly to the gate to meet your loved ones when they travelled, people were endeavoring to be inclusive as you could see from TV and other media, and racists we’re very much immediately dismissed without much of a platform.

It wasn’t the best for LGBTQ people, especially with Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, but it was generally just considered a matter of time before it would be accepted.

And finally the climate wasn’t trying to actively kill you and people were talking about things we could do around renewables and other energy initiatives.

I’ll take off the rose colored glasses as I know there are some bad things, but it’s hard not to say that objectively it was a good time.

I dunno. I kinda consider 9/11 to be the shifting point. That’s when racism came roaring back and also the introduction of the Patriot Act. The 2008 crash was just the solidification of the shit show to come.

Imaging him returning now. “I am Nimrod!!… wait, why are you all laughing at me?”

Luckily the reality that science attempts to measure doesn’t care about politics and will still exist no matter what he says. What it does mean is that it’ll be discovered in another country and the US will grow more and more isolated
