The soldiers that invaded Normandy might beg to differ from their graves in France.

Is it also ridiculous that the current overtly fascist administration would call out anti-fascism as a terrorist philosophy? 'Cos dude, it’s happening and there’s nothing ridiculous about it.

Respecting the uniform, in this case, is less about Vietnam or Korea or the Middle-east or any of the more recent wars the US enjoined in… and more about the invasion of Normandy, the battle of the Ardennes or the liberation of Auschwitz.

Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Dachau… Are you not seeing that ugly militant specter is goose-stepping its way back into political vogue again?

Take a breath, step back and look at the NOW.

To be honest, this has always kinda been how the conservatives in the US talk when they’re by themselves. I grew up in the 70s and heard it quite often from uptight assholes on the right.

It’s not anything new, really. It’s just that today the communications, instead of being face to face, are online and they leave records of their conversations.

Bigoted jackasses, gonna jackass.

I have a cup of coffee (milk, no sugar) two fried eggs and a piece of buttered toast.

I’d say Elon Musk. He threw how many millions at Trump’s presidential run thinking Don would return the favor once he was president…

So how’d that work out for you, Elon?

More opportunity for the left to file lawsuits and go after Trump and his billions!

All that lawyers need to realize is if they play by Roy Cohn’s own legal playbook - and viciously apply all the tactics he used… Trump will fold.

Dude’s like the schoolyard bully that would always shake down all the little kids for their milk money until that one skinny kid with the worn out sneakers that no one liked, kicked the shit out of him.

Ultimately, a coward.

This place (old.lemmy.zip) is downright chill. Then again, I just came off Reddit (after 14 years there…) and that is in full rage-bait algorithm-driven meltdown. Feels like Reddit in 2010 here. Just lovely…

Well, when you get to the age where mom jeans are what you want, it’s a given that you’re also at the no fucks given age WRT fashion.

It’s as liberating as hell.

I blew past mom jeans and went straight to cargo shorts and a strap belt to hold them up (in spite of being fat, I still have no ass), flip flop sandals and leg warmers. And an oxblood woolrich winter flannel shirt.

There are many spiderbros… we are legion!

Damn, that’s bad for the snek. Toddlers parasitize sneks when eaten… Poor snek.

OP is a snek bro…

If you interacted with a smooth green snake - aka “grass snake” - (they’re tiny) and checked out their color in the sun (it’s gorgeous) - they’d maybe be less nope ropes and more dinky slinky…

But yes, the “danger noodles” are the venemous ones…

This was me with beer. Gave it up over 15 years ago, as what was making me feel shitty about it was putting out the recycling bin filled with beer bottles and cans… and realizing just how much money I was spending on something that was doing nothing good for me. Stopped drinking in 2009 and don’t miss it a bit. Saving a lot more money as well…

Just got to have a wand like Bellatrix Lestrange’s then.

No politeness there…

The extremely gullible ARE the joke.

No one technically DID say anything, because it was a film set prop.

I’d have a field day with anyone losing their shit over this and thinking it was a real thing, by showing them the film it came from…

Damn… I wish I didn’t remember my dreams. Usually they involve me trying to clean a house where the rooms constantly change. That, and my car always seems to be turned on it’s roof.

God only knows wht I keep coming back to that weirdness.

Fry that fucker up till it’s nice and golden, add some HP curry sauce and crack open a beer. Almost like Leberkäse…

Heaven. Will take all anxiety away.

…polite the environment…

Do they give it a sincere “Good day to you!”?

No, they won’t. You’ll only get a new car if the vehicle is new (within 5 years and under a certain mileage) and still being paid off, because then the financier/lender is still in the mix. Lenders can and will aim their own lawyers at the insurers.

This is the way.

It’s hard though, to just get liabilty on a car if you’re still making payments on it.

It’s gotta be 100% yours with no payments or liens on it.

Then you can go for a nice high liability policy. I’ve always bought older used and just gotten policies to cover OTHER people I may accidentally hit. No collision - If i’m not paying attention and slide off the road into a rock… that’s on me.

I also would add glass and theft to that liability policy. The glass coverage saved my ass a few years ago when I caught a rock behind (what else?) a dump truck.
