Or Disney. That mouse would shank his own grandmouse for a larger slice of cheese.

flop_leash_973to News•American doctor receives email from immigration officials telling her to leave the country immediately2·5 days agoI dunno, those giant spiders might prove a good deterrent should the likes of the not so dapper Don decide to come take the place by force.
flop_leash_973to News•'This is the crisis moment': Political scientist says Trump crossed a crucial red line2·7 days agoIn a world with habitual line steppers, we need a Charlie Murphy to “check” them.
flop_leash_973to News•Biden says damage Trump has done to Social Security is 'breathtaking'543·8 days agoI don’t think anyone wants to hear from Biden at this point. He by all accounts did his level best to put his ego ahead of the good of the people of the country which did nothing but help further Trump’s talking points.
flop_leash_973to News•Judge in Abrego Garcia case says there’s no evidence Trump administration is following her orders | CNN Politics59·8 days agoNo kidding your honor. The question is what exactly are you or any other judge going to do about it?
I don’t mean that in a Trump is right kind of way. I mean it in a this is something the judiciary needs to be seriously looking into sooner rather than later.
Yet more evidence that it doesn’t actually matter in the eyes of the Trump administration what the law says, or what a judge says, if there is nothing behind it to physically make them follow it or face actual consequences.
flop_leash_973to News•At These Grocery Stores, No One Pays: A growing number of free grocery stores offer shoppers not just free food, but choice, ambiance, and space for dignity, too.5·9 days agoI’ve always found that logic weird on their part.
If I am planning to do it anyway, because I recognize it is the right thing to do, what difference does it make if there are laws in place to ensure the less ethical among us do it as well?
flop_leash_973to No Stupid Questions•Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately?11·9 days agoIncreased reliance on touch screen devices with dodgy autocorrect probably accounts for a good chunk of it.
I know it is not uncommon for me to have to go back and edit something I wrote from my phone after I submit it because I didn’t see the autocorrect mistake before hitting send.
flop_leash_973to Technology•I ditched my laptop for a pocketable mini PC and a pair of AR glasses — here’s what happenedEnglish54·9 days agoOr, and hear me out, I could just carry a single device with a charging cable that weighs less than 5lbs that does all of that without all of the cables and BS associated with trying to be a tech edgelord for clicks. Hell, if that device is a Framework is will probably be way more repairable than that mini PC and probably super fragile AR glasses as well.
flop_leash_973to News•RFK: MMR vaccine is the "most effective way" to prevent measles spread71·16 days agoHe is just saying that any vaccine created since Jenny McCarthy got up to speed on Andrew Wakefield’s nonsense is bad.
All of those other vaccines that did so much good when he was young are fine.
If it didn’t come out of “the good old days” of when these people were in their prime it is some liberal conspiracy after all. /s
I have hated few things in this world as much as advertising. It is one of the few industries I feel is beyond saving and produces nothing of value at all levels. I am of the opinion that advertising is like cancer, whenever it is allowed to get a foothold somewhere it will eventually kill the host. For-profit companies can not resist the easy money promised by advertising, so the only way to combat it is not have it to begin with.
I go out of my way to pay for the things I use with money and not attention if at all possible. I will nearly always favor buying from a company that does not get most of their revenue from advertising, even if it means I pay more for the product and it is a less capable product or service.
flop_leash_973to Ask Lemmy•Are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?2·17 days agoLemmy as a platform speaks to me on a philosophical level when it comes to the kinds of technology I use when I have the choice. I like that it is not at the mercy of the need to turn a profit to exist.
flop_leash_973to News•U.S. stocks see biggest 2-day wipeout in history as market loses $11 trillion since Inauguration Day9·17 days agoAmazing how every time the Republicans get majority control of things the markets go to shit. The faster they work to dismantle what democratic control of something exists the faster it falls apart.
flop_leash_973to News•'They Must Be Prosecuted': Video Found on Phone of Murdered Gaza Medic Refutes IDF Claims.41·17 days agoThose responsible for this should be in prison and going forward Isreal should be told in no uncertain terms that if they want any aid from the rest of the world they have to find a way to live on the same track of land as the Palestinians.
These people have been either killing or planning to kill each other for as long as both have existed. And it is long past time for everyone else in the world to take these differences that are rooted in religious zealotry as anything more than a threat to the lives of the innocent that lives there.
Nothing says “I am the master of making a deal” like having to back off of nearly all of them every time anyone calls your bluff.
I’ll never see how so many think Trump is one of the smartest people in any room.
He’s a slumlord, just like his father. It is just unfortunate that the entire country will be his shitty government housing block by the time he gets done with it.
