Not when the only viable alternative is literal fascisim. At that point all the opposition party against fascism should have to do is not goose-step on camera, but apparently a whole lot of 'murican voters don’t understand direct consequences of inaction.
By not voting no matter who you said “I am okay with what is happening now”, and you were WARNED this would happen before you chose not to vote (or voted for the self-admitted spoiler) so all this bluster to shield yourself from reality isn’t fooling anyone that understands a room gets dirty if you don’t clean it.
Look at Canada. Almost 70% voter turnout and the results prevented not only a Trump boot-licker from getting into power but kicked him out of his own fucking riding. Did people vote less progressively than they’d have liked? Absolutely. FPTP is a flawed system, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is Canada won’t be Zeig-heiling for the next four years and we can still work towards fixing the system instead of worrying about brute-squads arresting innocent citizens and deporting them without due process for opposing the Government. That is the power of forethought and action instead of excuses and apathy.
Encephalotrocity@biglemmowski.winto Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•r/autism mods banned me for speaking outEnglish274·2 days agoYDI - There is an obvious disconnect between your “identity crisis” and argument which leads me to believe this is about the drama and not some passionate protection for the autistic community.
Also, multiple mods calmly explained their reasoning and you started screaming at them. Yeah, that gets a hard ‘nope’ from me.

NDP incumbent lost to the Conservative but the Liberals actually got more votes than the NDP did. NDP had 50% of their support stolen only for both of them to lose to blue. FFS

Take notes 'murica. This is how it should have gone for you and PP isn’t even a felon FFS.
If your doctor is confident enough to declare it a scam I’d go with the opinion of the trained certified medical professional whom you let do unspeakable things to all your orifices protected only by latex gloves instead of listening to anonymous idiots like me.
That said, if you insist on listening to me then you can do your own allergen test at home:
- Wash (with soap and cloth) and sterilize (with iodine or isopropyl alcohol) your stomach and a sewing needle.
- With the needle gently scratch a series of small bloodless paired nicks an inch apart.
- On the left side leave clean for a negative comparison and on the right dab a miniscule amount of a single suspected allergen on each scratch. Maybe jot down which scratch has which substance so you don’t forget.
- Wait 20 minutes and compare the left to the right. Any on the right side significantly discoloured, swollen or blotchy compared with its respective left side negative are likely allergens and should be avoided.

Encephalotrocity@biglemmowski.winto Television@lemm.ee•What is the most pathetic, or outrageously bad piece of dialogue you've ever heard in a TV series?English4·2 days agoEdit: and FTR this is from a movie, but is so bad it has been parodied in TV. Supergirl did it and when a CW show makes fun of your dialogue you KNOW it’s bad.
I’d be more inclined to believe you if you supported this opinion with some cherry-picked statistics. /s
Encephalotrocity@biglemmowski.winto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Advice for Anxious/Scared DogEnglish6·3 days agoFrom a behaviourist’s point of view there are 3 things you can do to help her:
1) Reward bravery, and ignore fear. Dog is trembling? Don’t use a soothing voice and pet her. You’re literally encouraging her to be frightened if you do. It’s tough I know as it goes against what ‘feels’ right. Ignore her. If she jumps up for attention/pets/cuddles let her be near you but don’t pet/console. Do your own thing while also letting her hang out if so inclined. If and when she seems no longer afraid then pet her or treat her however is appropriate.
2) Gradually acclimate her to noise Have a TV or radio on in the house to generate ambient noise. Set the volume low to begin. Raise the volume as high as you reasonably can until you get a concerned response from her. Tone the volume down a tick below that and go about your day. Increase the volume a tick after you see her relaxed for a long time repeatedly. If you can have the TV or radio on at a level that doesn’t bother you or your neighbours that is good progress
3) Lead by example. Act unconcerned and unafraid of noises. Is she afraid to go outside? Go outside, look around, and call her to you. When she comes, shower her with praise/reward. Then go do something in the yard that doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with her. If she flees back inside don’t call her back immediately as that may be rewarding her fear with attention. Wait and call her back out after a bit. The longer you hang out outside while it is noisy the more normal it will become in the dog’s eyes.
Combine all these strategies in escalating difficulty as she improves. For example, feed her nearer and nearer to the TV/radio, etc… Do you take her for walks? Perhaps as final challenges start walking nearer and nearer to ongoing construction, or the busy street. If you do this last thing don’t keep getting closer until she panics. Walk a little bit in the direction of noise and turn 90deg walk a bit and then walk away for that day.
Good luck. This is something that will take a lot of thought, work and patience on your part but she sounds worth it.
Getting your last chance digs in to try to manipulate voters I see. Golly, I’d better not vote Liberal to help
prevent a majority governmentget PP into power.Polls are BS attempting to sway your vote (or lack thereof as the case may be) through trickery. Do not take your riding for granted. Vote like its 999 for 1000 against your candidate.

I don’t use HA so this is confusing me. If the software works for your home setup, why update at all ever? What do you as a user get other than the opportunity to see new ads on the thermostat screen or whatever?

I’ve mentioned this before as a criticism for Canadian boycotts of the US. Every large Canadian website, even Government and News use US cloud services. Every. One.
How was this allowed to happen? The minute that law was passed all sites that use them should have discontinued their contracts. JFC.
