Sounds like we agree that the water is doing nothing! It’s all about the restaurant making it.
I’ve had great pizza in New York and awful pizza in New York but the same goes for the other cities I’ve visited/lived in. My favorite standard topping pizza is actually from a restaurant in a suburb
Don’t worry, there’s plenty of room in these for-profit prisons for other minorities.
I don’t want any damn Mexicans working low paid agriculture jobs and paying taxes! I want MY taxes to go toward the private prisons that will house them before more of my taxes go toward deporting them! I’m prepared to pay even more for groceries so get ICE rolling.
I can’t believe these giant companies put profit over morals. It just doesn’t make sense!
What do you care when it’s only the elite that will make it there? The rest of us will burn here on earth
See that’s the beauty of cropping out the timestamp. You can get mad no matter what year it is!
I’m still holding out hope that Biden will pull a gun on him at the inauguration. It would absolutely lead to chaos in the streets but man, it’d be so fuckin funny.
I’ve eaten pizza all across the United States and can confirm that there is absolutely nothing special about New York pizza. If the minerals in the water actually change anything, it’s imperceptible when covered with cheese. Most of my visits were with NY natives so I was not eating at tourist traps.
I can say that American food kind of sucks in every Asian country I’ve been to^1 but I have never been to Europe, though, so I didn’t know how the phenomena compare.
^1 Most of my international trips have been for work so I may not have gone to the “good” American restaurants
[Edit] how do I superscript on Lemmy? ^1 is supposed to be a footnote

It isn’t legal to own hand grenades in the US so I would imagine the self defense part would be irrelevant.
Though I’d imagine it they might be allowed if they were legal because you can use, say, your car as a weapon in self defense…
Again I feel the need to preface this: I thought she was a decent pick. I was so confident I even told a friend I thought it’d be 60/40 in her favor months ago. I am NOT saying she sucks - I’m saying her campaign sucked. I’m also not saying that 0 people refused to vote for a woman - I’m saying it’s not why she lost. Anyway,
–
Let’s be real - we voted Biden in 2020 not because we thought he was the best person for the job but because we believed he could beat Trump… Which he barely did. And then he went on to have a pretty good run and got a lot done! Anyone who paid attention could see that the progress was slow but there was still progress happening.
But his team sucked at communicating. They quietly did their thing and barely promoted it. Maybe because even if they did…the news would focus on something more controversial instead. Either way, most people had no idea…and many of those that did didn’t feel like it was enough.
The fact that we’re having this conversation tells me that we’re both at least somewhat knowledgeable on politics so of course we knew about the good work he was doing…of course we know the policies Harris/Walz wanted…but did the layman know that? Nope.
So this election rolls around and people see Biden 2.0, why would they want that again when they’re been struggling for the past 4 years? Why weren’t they getting addressed then? Non-voters didn’t feel heard. Hell, I didn’t feel heard. Grocery gouging is old news and the fix feels like a consolation prize at this point.
By far the biggest failing is that their “leftwing” campaign chose to reach right. It garnered a few voters and alienated a LOT more.
I voted for her because I’m not an idiot but yeah…it was sadly an awful campaign.
I’ll answer for 99% of Lemmy users: it’s bad
Haha, they tried to use sketchy legal means to overturn the results. If they were smarter and less desperate, they’d just storm the confirmation with makeshift weapons and zip ties like a TRUE patriot
Kamala Harris did not lose because she’s not a white man and perpetuating that myth is not helping.
She lost because she didn’t speak to the working class.
She didn’t lay out any plans nor promise any relief to the millions of people struggling.
She said she wouldn’t do anything different than Biden with Palestine.
She parading around a Republican and tried to draw in the non-existent middle voter.
She promised more of the same when “the same” already wasn’t good enough.
Was she the better choice? Absolutely. Did she lose because she’s not a white man? FUCK NO and parroting that bullshit excuse is just distracting from the issues that actually need fixing.
I’ve seen them before. But the slot is usually as wide as it is long and you use a square bit for it instead of a flathead
As someone who would have preferred Mastodon become the more popular service, I completely agree.
Look at mastodon.social and bluesky.app without logging in. Which site seems more interesting to the general public?
Now make an account. If you don’t have a bunch of specific people you want to follow, which has the better new user experience for the general public?
Mastodon looks like it was made by nerds, for nerds, and is populated exclusively by nerds. It’s not nearly as welcoming.
Tineye is way better for exact matches but worse for similar matches. If I have a cropped image, Google is better at finding the uncropped version
They obviously still get the clicks to justify the cost of advertising or they wouldn’t do it. If one of them fails in a decade, no one is going to look back and say it was because they didn’t leave Twitter when Elmo bought it…
