Boggles the mind how one can be a convicted felon and still be in the race, but if you’re in prison you can’t vote.

He doesn’t control much of anything, actually!
The king of Sweden has a similar exemption from the law, but he also doesn’t hold any political power. I also don’t know how waterproof his status is if he did something heinous enough.
Trump already has done heinous stuff.
Do you need complex investment options in your bank? I’m sure some banks offer that here, but there are also dedicated services specifically for gambling on the stock market, which I think more people would be drawn to as they are focused on that specific niche. The bank investment options are more for long-term savings rather than proper investments.
I love furries and their sexpositivity. This comment made my day.
Yeah, I mean it’s easier to do online since generally I move in fairly sex-positive circles. With my in-person friend it was because I misheard what she said. I thought she mentioned that she’d ordered dildos and whatnot from a particular book store and I was like “wait, they have dildos??” We’d only met like a couple hours earlier, but we’ve been good friends ever since. 😅
Aww, that’s so sweet! I suppose this means that the way to make adult friends is to tongue-in-cheek talk about adult toys.
I did actually make a in-person friend doing exactly that once.
Aww, and Lemmy loves you! 💖
Also, just to toot my own horn, I felt pretty proud of that last one. I initially was like “how the heck do you casually drop Fenrir or David in a sentence” but… It’s not nearly as elegant as Chance.
I still don’t quite get how these people make sense of the world. We recently had a big reveal that our nazi party is using “anonymous social media accounts” to try and influence popular opinion. They claim that they don’t, and that the accounts aren’t affiliated with the party, but there was a whole report on the thing and it’s landed them in some hot water. The people voting for them are pretty much unfazed but the right-block alliance overall has taken quite a hit to their public support.
One of the things these people who supposedly really love Sweden discussed, was how they could perhaps create some sort of campaign website to try and incide violence among migrants, and possibly incite terror attacks. Like, how do you reconcile your “patriotism and love for your country” with wanting people to perform terror attacks?
Were I to play devil’s advocate I’d say that it’s possible that they were just shooting the shit, but even then? Isn’t it a bit over the top? As a gay guy I’m not joking about conversion therapy or forcible sterilisations.
It does cost a lot though, gotta be careful not to Nix your wallet and Crash your economy.
I’m not even a little bit surprised, sadly.
Last election we had here (2022) surveillance and stop and frisk were decently big talking points. Even the supposed Liberals are like “uwu so sad privacy is dying we have to be careful but big brother needs to sees you we nweed to be hawd on cwime!1!” I think the only party that’s not OK with it is the leftists.
Ah that’s my problem. I’m spending too much on silicone dicks and not enough on the suit.
I think you likely also have to be decently sociable, and I find socialising with people in real to be both difficult and exhausting.
Get a passport, make friends in another country.
Think it’s worth mentioning that U.S. politics sets the tone of politics in a lot of the west. When Trump won, the alt-right parties in more or less all of Europe grew significantly. Here in Sweden over the span of the almost 8 years since, our nazi party grew from a smaller party that the right wingers argued whether or not they should collaborate with in order to create a right-wing coalition and win majority, to the second largest party in Sweden.
Why don’t you have a support network?
Where does one buy one of those, and how much do they cost? Asking for me. 😂
Rumpelstiltskin.
Naomi Novik wrote a lovely book inspired by it called “Spinning Silver.”
sh is a retroflex sibilant whereas x is an alveolo-palatal sibilant. They are both sibilants so they have a shared quality, but indeed “xitter” and “shitter” doesn’t sound quite the same.
Musk, verb. To take something functional and turn it into literal shit.
“Wow! We had such a good thing going, too. Can’t believe he musked all over this project!”
This is a fair point I hadn’t considered!
