Someone tried telling me the other days interest rates won't go down because that would be a stupid move...
That's not going to factor in Trump's decision at all, either Powell caves or trump seizes more control and Republicans refuse to stop him.
Outside the Francevillian lagoon, oceans still lacked phosphorus and carried little oxygen. Larger creatures would have struggled in those harsh surroundings.
These bubbles likely popped up and fizzled out a couple of times before overall conditions spread. Once they did it would have almost been like Star Wars, previously isolated "planets" with their own evolutionary past and possibly drastically different lengths of evolution before mixing.
Squids might be so weird because they were from a different pocket than everything else, it would explain why their DNA is so "alien".

It's kind of bad...
A 20 year old and someone about to graduate is one thing.
But she's got another year after this year still.
It might be legal depending on state due to Romeo and Juliet laws, but it's still creepy to be 20 years old and picking up girls (literal, non adult girls) on the internet.
Also they're "just friends" but he can't stop thinking of more?
It's fucking creepy, even if OP "just" continues grooming her till she's 18
People boycott over culture shit all the time...
Corps don't like it, but they still prefer it to being boycotted for not paying their fair share of taxes. And it's easily quantifiable and can't be undone on a whim.
Pay your fucking taxes or no one buys your shit, can't get much of a freer market than that
You're blaming the people elected to DNC leadership of February 2025 for things done in November of 2024 and earlier....
Why?
HW bush ran and won off the senile ghost of Reagan's charisma...
Vance could too.
But we should still run AOC now, because after 8 years of AOC, there's be new blood
There's never a reason to "save" a candidate, and nothing is stopping her from being a senator after.
Seniority being important is something that the old guard just agreed on.
There is zero reason to throw a moderate on there.
Run a fair primary and number 2 gets first right if refusal for vice.
If they don't want it, let the candidate pick their running mate.
Bruh, if everything a trump admin official said was true, we'd be living in a drastically different world...
If we had any crazy alien shit. trump would be showing it off constantly. There's no way he'd be able to help himself
Democrats ran women
So?
They weren't progressive for the year they were running in.
You need to peel back some MAGA and a white man would do just that.
Yeah, like the last Dem who flipped red states all over and helped out with down ballot races...
You know, Barack Obama.
People want progressive policy and couldnt give a fuck who the candidate was.
AOC would smash trump or anyone else, because she has good policy and isn't ashamed of it.
democratic leadership, representatives and senators
The DNC is the party....
The DNC is saying we need to primary those elected politicians because they no longer reflect the values of the Dem voter base.
The neoliberals are no longer running the party (which again, is the DNC)
But I applaud you for asking when you weren't sure
Just right wing tech bro shit
Pirate Wires leans right-wing and anti-establishment, often framing progressive policies and government regulation as threats to innovation and individual freedom. Its coverage often favors the tech industry, advocates for free markets, and opposes centralized authority, often using provocative headlines to convey its critiques. For example, the article “Listen Up, Bezos: Shut Up and Pay Me” takes an aggressive approach toward Amazon’s wage policies, while “Sucks to EU” mocks European regulatory measures. The language is highly informal, provocative, and laced with sarcasm, which aligns with Pirate Wires’ broader editorial style. The article uses mocking rhetoric, exaggerated phrasing, and conversational snark to frame the EU as an overreaching bureaucratic entity that stifles free speech and innovation.

And not a fit for this sub on top of it
The Neoliberals don’t get to be in charge anymore.
They're literally not tho...
Like, the battles were fought, the war was won...
You just don't seem to be politically engaged enough to have noticed.
This is the same Democratic party leadership that ran Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s campaigns.
Hogg has been vice chair of the DNC for like two months...
How is he responsible for what the old guard did when almost all of them got the boot months ago?
David Hogg is literally a vice chair of the DNC and has the backing of the chair in saying this...
You're literally commenting on the DNC doing what you want and saying they're doing the opposite
The neoliberals no longer have the chair....
Ken Martin does...
And the same DNC voters who elected him, elected David Hogg as a vice chair...
Like, this is the party.
Why would we push for a new one, when we just got control of the old one after decades?
It wouldn't.
But a crash in real estate would make him want low interest rates for him to capitalize with.
Like, you're still acting like we're talking about if it should happen.
We're talking about if trump will do something, and he mostly does dumb shit that's the opposite of what he should be doing
You're talking about if it would make rational sense to lower them...
I'm thinking it's more likely trump somehow seizes power of the fed
Not a single person has ever been released.
You go there, you die there. It's just a matter of time.
If trump dies in office he doesn't have to have cult backing.
But he is more conservative than HW, and HW got the win after Reagan.
Vance was groomed to lead this movement he even got set up with his wife by the "Tiger Mom" at Yale and then she got the wife SC clerkships.
People are underestimating Vance just like they did trump
Hillary pushed him to run because she thought he'd be the worst, and it backfired spectacularly. Don't assume Vance can't grab the reigns when crazier shit is literally happening as I type this.
The Vermont senator, who has long had a tense relationship with the Democratic Party, suggested in an interview that more progressives should join him in running as independents.
"@ Mentions" circumvent blocks
There's an issue where trolls will "@" people who blocked them because it will still send a notification.
Sometimes it's just people who always do it, so it's likely unintentional.
But it's pretty obvious from a post history glance when they're only doing it with people who never respond to them. And definitely obvious after someone tells them about it
Example:
https://lemmy.world/comment/15711438
Is there anyway to make mention notification abide by the blocklist?
If not should we be reporting harassment to our admins or the admins of the account doing it?
Vest Patches?
So after the last couple years of seeing how protests get treated based on how much larping they're doing, I bought some plates and a carrier.
I'm fully aware the only thing it does is stop me from dying immediately from a body shot, and only covers like 10% of me.
But the only reason I got it was because cops have been showing for decades they won't start violence against protesters when even just a few are plated up and holding a rifle. And I got a feeling there's gonna be some protests again.
My issue is I look like a nazi's wet dream even when I'm not geared up, and it's not like someone can read a Tshirt under a plate carrier.
I wanted to grab some patches from SRA, but all they sell is stickers, and Etsy just has vague slogan patches you wouldn't be able to read from five feet away.
I did see some links where the reddit sub had been doing mass patch orders over the years. Is there any community not on the big social media doing the same?
Or any other methods to show you'

Israel fires on southern Lebanon after claiming ceasefire violation
Israel's military said on Thursday it had detected "suspects" in several areas in southern Lebanon, calling this a violation of a ceasefire with Hezbollah.
Israel's military said on Thursday it had detected "suspects" in several areas in southern Lebanon, calling this a violation of a ceasefire with Hezbollah.
On Thursday morning, Israeli tank fire hit six areas within the border strip, state media said.
The rounds struck Markaba, Wazzani and Kfarchouba, Khiyam, Taybe and the agricultural plains around Marjayoun — all of which lie within two kilometres of the Blue Line demarcating the border between Lebanon and Israel.
The ceasefire was scheduled to take effect from 4am local time on Wednesday.
Requesting /fantheories
Can I mod /fantheories?
The only mod created it a year ago, made a single post there, and hasn't made a comment/post anywhere in over four months.
They mod about 50 communities, all of them seem to be ghost towns the account was just squatting on.
So not sure if you just want to delete those so when someone wants to create it they can.
Jeffrey Michael Kelly, 60, was also arrested on suspicion of leaving white powder on political signs in Ahwatukee, according to Tempe police.
The reason it fits this sub, is they already knew this guy was an extremist committing crimes 2 years, long before he started shooting up Dem offices.
The cops just felt it wasnt in the interest of their personal safety to stop him, which lead to him escalating his crimes over the years.
Despite evidence pointing to Kelly as the perpetrator, Weich said law enforcement did not move to arrest him. Weich said that Phoenix police feared that approaching Kelly would pose a threat to their safety. A prosecutor out of the Phoenix City Attorney’s Office declined to pursue charges, Weich said.
Which lead to this:
Kelly was arrested about 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday during a traffic stop. Kelly's attorney Squires said his vehicle was stopped using a grappler that hooked the car from behind. "That is quite shocking to a person who's never had any previous allegations at all," Squires said in court.
Squires said in court the car was then surrounded by more than a dozen law enforcement personnel.
