He had pretty much that his first two years. Maybe not the judicial branch, totally. But, he had both chambers of congress. They could have done a lot but didn’t because of incompetence, a little dissent and fear of electoral reprisals.

Now, they’re more organized and possibly more unified behind the rat-fucking that’s planned.

If they move too fast they’ll lose the House in two years. If they slow boil, we’ll all be cooked before we know it.

This one too plausible for satire.

Except the rapid real estate inflation started years before COVID. WFH may play a part but it’s hardly a major reason.

I think the JC Penney photos would actually work with swing voters. They just need a reason to not be ashamed to vote for him.

HIPAA is about disclosure of personal medical details not about what phone numbers to call.

And you might want to reset your calibration data, first.

Totally plausible 80s movie plot.

I really like what they do but mostly find them unlistenable. If you don’t enjoy listening to people just chatting and making lots of—often bad—jokes in the middle of the narrative, this podcast is not for you.

If you don’t mind that, they do a great job of deep diving into the history of despicable people.

It’s in the flour not the eggs. Eating raw flour is riskier than eating raw eggs.

*can’t read good.

The media wants a fight because fights get ratings and $. It’s in their interest to make both candidates look equally good/bad. This makes them allergic to charges of bias which helps the shittier candidates.

President was a Republican. They all felt threatened and got scared as they do. Like when that same Republican banned assault rifles after black people started carrying them openly.

I’m sure Thomas Kinkade is the easiest artist to replace with AI.

That was back in the early 19th century.

I think you mean 20th century. There was no jazz in the 1800s.

In addition to the other points made, not nearly as many people use Lemmy so it’s not as much of a target for bots.

The alt-right/Trump content on sites like Reddit and Twitter is amplified out of proportion by bots.

That song, though. Hoo, glad they changed that.

Trees. We went into the trees before we came back down and walked on two feet.

You could just break up with him and let him live his life.

In don’t think anyone can tell you from a photo. You need an arborist to look at it.

You can talk to the neighbor and express your concern. Ideally, have a paper trail in case something does happen.

You can have an arborist trim any branches hanging over your property without asking the neighbor.

I would get an estimate from a couple arborists for the trimming what’s over your yard. Then, approach the neighbor and offer to pay that amount towards having the whole thing trimmed—must include trimming the parts over your yard.

I wouldn’t pay until the work is done.

If you don’t know the neighbor at all and/or can’t be sure they’re trustworthy, I’d just get the part over your yard done.
