How widespread was this? I grew up in the 80s/90s and pre GPS we just had a map in the car. I’ve never heard of such a hotline until seeing this post.

I’m on bluesky. It got most of the twitter people I followed for humor. The protocol supposedly allows (will allow?) other servers, but for now I think it’s mostly the one. I prefer mastodon governance/structure, but bluesky has a bunch of people I want to read.

Having a central repository of resumes and how those people are connected is valuable. Seeing that I know someone who knows someone else is useful when applying for a job or reaching out as a salesperson. Even just knowing that a position with x title exists at y company is useful when searching for jobs or clients.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were something about different types of wigs that make them hotter than just having natural hair. That said, I’m not sure we have people with subject matter experience in the thread here.

Like this thread over at the wigs subreddit is already talking about terms I’m not familiar with, so that seems like a promising place to start.

I’m on lemmy because I disagree with the ownership direction at Reddit but they have an enviable user base in terms of size and diversity.

From what I understand, the first assassination it wasn’t clear the shooter particularly hated Trump. Sounded more like a school shooter. If anyone has seen reporting otherwise I’d be interested to read it.

Often in a news article when someone is described as dying “suddenly” without any other explanation it’s understood to be a euphemism for suicide.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was something there, but that’s different than a fact.

Looks edited to me

So people who don’t live in swing states should vote third party until there’s enough of them that the state is in danger of going to trump (or whoever)? If they’re successful at some point that’s a threat.

How do we actually get third party candidates to win, not just “oh, Ross Perot Jr got 3% of the vote”?

However you slice it, we’re looking at like a 20 year struggle minimum to get election reform, and it would be at least the same length to elect a third party candidate to the office of president, but that’s a one off thing. (Or more likely that third party would be the new one of two parties)

If we’re committed to the struggle of improving things, we might as well improve a reusable process rather than have a single go at a third party presidential candidate.

Right, but do you have any evidence? Otherwise it’s just an accusation

“THE CHILDREN WILL BE SAVED!”

I assume you’re getting down voted because of AI use but I don’t mind it in this case because I think it’s a useful starting point for “how many big holidays are we talking about”

I am completely unfamiliar with that person

I didn’t take the image to be showing a macbook, it could just as easily be my computer or probably many others.

But “Scud” sounds like such a reputable brand

I like and use signal, but of course the problem is convincing someone else to start using it in order to send you a message.

Lol that’s the van? How is it different than the car?

I’ve seen people say there’s good weird and bad weird, and if you don’t mind calling yourself weird it’s probably the good kind.

As for calling maga people weird I think it’s effective because their whole deal is about vibes. “We’re strong, we’re smart” and it really bothers them to be perceived otherwise. It’s also not something you can “debate”. Either people accept it or they don’t. What are you going to say “no, I’m not weird”? Sure thing buddy.

Cool jacket, and reading the backstory you linked makes it even cooler.

Lol, well I didn’t mean specifically “tell me you’re from the US” just the general phrase “tell me X without telling me X”.

And can confirm that plenty of Americans aren’t thrilled with how things are run in America. We’re running democracy v0.1 beta
