It really depends on how close to a supermajority the Dems get on their own. It’s expected for Trump to take some radical military action in the next few weeks, that could be the trigger to unify them around either restricting his power or fully removing him from office.

I would put the odds of super majority action at “quite low” but during my entire life time the odds have been “hahahahahahahahahahaha I forgot that existed”

Yeah I don’t have faith in the Dems. Very happy maga movement is dead obviously but Dems are owned opposition, I’m expecting a whole lot of nothing over the next 2 years followed by campaigns centered on the lack of action from Dems.

The fact that it’s even close says enough

Red had a thin majority in house and senate

Now blue has a slightly larger senate majority and landslide house. It would not take that much red cooperation to make overruling a veto be possible.

Ok but they didn’t do that they explicitly asked for news from a Lemmy user

MF you’re on social media right now and were just informed of some news.

Give your nose a squeak and tell me what you hear.

She was handling duties that she could to the pilot could focus on reading the relevant gauges and taking action. Her job was to manage comms, which is why you hear her on the tape.

You can be a victim of an accident.

As dark as this situation is I did laugh a bit when the following day I saw a new headline stating there were no survivors.

Like… no kidding?

Basically just accusing her of being a DEI hire.

I don’t interpret their comment to imply the other pilot didn’t understand, just that her role was to manage the ATC communications which… is exactly what you agree with? The other pilot’s duty wasn’t to interpret the ATC guidance but to take action.

Maybe you should keep your mouth shut and reread before yelling at people.

You would care less about the pilot if he was a contractor?

I feel bad for the pilots and kids and the nanny.

Love & hate are sides of the same coin. Don’t mistake my agitation for the admiration you are seeking.

If they don’t contribute to good conversation.

“Stupid questions” i.e. questions that reveal you are missing some basic common knowledge, are actually generally downvoted on No Stupid Questions. Along with any that intentionally agitate people or are otherwise bad faith, bury the lead or otherwise strawman The Correct Side in an unpleasant way.

There needs to be something at least marginally interesting about the conversation the question generates. If it’s just annoying/tedious/aggravating, people will downvote.

I’ve got some scary (great?) statistics to show you about the typical political leaning of Lemmy users.

I would be careful with words like ‘uneducated’ since you seem to not understand population samples & biases

Still not installing it.

I just really really want to know how long you have been and will be stating this as though anyone gives a fuuuuuck

I have some scary statistics to show you about the typical geographic region of Lemmy users.

Especially once filtered for English

The ‘+’ is not present in the meme.

Queer sometimes includes ace people but typically not, which is why you normally see LGBTQA+ in modern contexts. The Q and A being different groups of people. I’m not making a political statement about A != Q just a linguistic argument about how I typically see the terms used.

The menacing horse meme but it’s a horde of 8 billion people menacingly fucking to spite the asexual community
