Like it or not they have assets here. If they move their operations overseas and evade taxes they can enjoy having their assets seized and their IP confiscated.

This. It’s always worth the extra silver to go with an established guild. Never worth the risk to take a chance hiring an assassin from Craigslist.

Food preparation wasn’t as well understood then as it is today and pork carried with it a risk that poultry, beef and others didn’t hence the rules against eating it.

My cat will take a chunk out of any bread left on a countertop. He somehow also seems to love garlic and onion flavoured things despite their apparent toxicity. Naturally I won’t feed him those but he makes a solid effort to swipe them if I turn away.

If you quit another will take your place. Possibly a conservative. You’d do more good holding that seat than giving it up.

I care about the Americans who voted for Kamala and are attached at the hip to fascists who are taking the ship down with them. The ones who eagerly voted for Trump? Drown.

I think their intention was to appeal to older Republicans who remember the bush years with rose tinted glasses and don’t approve or the pivot that the GOP has done post-Obama.

Evidently they don’t make up a significant amount of red voters when compared to the frothing fascists who would eagerly re-elect a rapist.

Democrats keep extending the olive branch out of naïvety only to have it used to smack them across their stupid fucking faces.

He’s going to retaliate anyway! He said as much! Motherfucker said that he was going to go after the enemy within.

We’re morons manipulated into voting against their interests, securing the election for Trump? Absolutely. Unfortunately though, he won the votes fair and square. Democrats sucked at messaging, voters sucked at being decent fucking humans. Now we all get to enjoy the consequences of their psychopathy.

Tbf tankies are right wingers who adopted a leftist aesthetic.

Sorry bud, not a yank. You have my sympathies though.

If it turns out that he does indeed win the popular vote then yeah I’m sorry for your loss. A nest of at least 50% fascists or fascist enablers.

Heart aches for those that did their civic duty and yet have to suffer the repercussions :(

They haven’t finished counting that’s why. Rural areas are faster to count and skew conservative.

A republican hasn’t won the popular vote in 20 years. Trump is projected to win but like last time he’ll lose the popular vote and win by virtue of the electoral college.

Oh definitely. The fascists and brainlets that voted for Trump are joined by the racists and sexists who abstained from voting for Harris. Now we all get to suffer the consequences of their squandered democracy.

I’m not going to play chess with a pigeon but one day you’ll have your first moment of introspection and I hope it results in your realisation that while not complicit in the “Biden-Harris Genocide” you are absolutely 100% complicit in each and every consequence of a Trump-Vance administration which includes the genocide of Palestine.

Seconded. The first time I was willing to write it off as frustrated voters being misled by a conman. This time is different. You all had four years under this rapist conman and enough people decided they’d go back for seconds. Despicable.

VHS beat betamax because porn, dvd beat laserdisc because porn, streaming beat physical because porn.

If Trump wins because enough of you idiots couldn’t hold your nose and vote then the blood of those Palestinians is on your hands. You don’t get to absolve yourself because you chose not to participate in democracy.

You aren’t opposed to genocide because you couldn’t be assed to do the smallest thing to mitigate it.

Tbh most of the ire aimed at immigrants here is specifically targeted to either Indian or Ukrainian migrants. Infrastructure is genuinely buckling under the weight of migration but it’s a case of too little investment and not entirely the result of immigration.

I can say as a white, western immigrant to Canada that I’ve never had anyone complain about my immigration however I’ve had locals complain about immigration to me forgetting that I am indeed one of the immies.

Whew that was quick https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/14541652
