Walt wasn’t always the drug king pin. Sure, he always had the potential. But, more accurately, Walt was always the insecure bastard. He had the inappropriate relationship while he was a professor because it felt good and stroked his ego. He left his own budding company because he couldn’t handle the other 2 falling in love, and he interpreted that as him being shut out — which was clearly not the case. The drug cooking and drug business were additional things he was good at, but the direction of his success was always driven by his insecurity and ego. He practically couldn’t control the urge to become a strong drug kingpin because inside he was a weak, insecure little man.
And she was actually a decent human being. Of course she had her faults, but nothing about her behavior was narcissistic or even all that selfish. Even cheating on Walt came about because he pretty much drove her to do it. It’s an explanation — not an excuse.
Thanks for the tip! So if I typically use Safari on my phone, then there’s a decent chance that using chrome on my phone will be effective? This would be surprising to me because I’ve always thought they simply use the IP address to connect accounts…
My concern is that far left candidates will get destroyed in general elections is how the Trump-affiliated scum will remain in power. At the very least, there will be fewer victories over right wing scum if our candidates cannot appeal to independents. And we need to recognize that a large chunk of those independents are people with largely conservative values but are simply disgusted by what Trump and his sycophants have been doing to our country.
People willshould back anyone who is actually going to fight and work for the people.
That sounds like super nice and all, but in reality we need independents to be on board. A large chunk of them are still irrationally afraid of socialism even though they probably appreciate tons of government programs that they don’t realize are socialist by nature.
At least we agree that the terrible right wing needs to be voted out of office. And I would agree with you that so much of our establishment Dems (especially the moderates/centrists) are a substantial part of the problem. Where I think we disagree is what the largest chunk of decent voters want right now — I think we simply want a competent government that strives to work for the people and strives to hold criminals and other bad actors accountable for their misdeeds. I don’t think this chunk agrees with extreme measures like defunding institutions that have been important to America for decades. That type of rhetoric (or candidates being affiliated with other people who use that type of rhetoric) feels like a great way to ensure the Maga scum remain in power.
What are this guy’s current chances of winning in the general election? And in comparison, what would you estimate (since we’ll never know) a more moderate Democrat’s odds of winning that same general election?
I’m trying to check Kissmi/pooeymkat (misspelled on purpose), but haven’t had much luck finding the odds so far.
Socialism is still a terrifying word for conservatives and most independents. Nominating socialists as Democratic candidates makes me feel more certain that Dems will fail to retake control of this country.
The mainstreams of both parties are open to socialist ideas presented by their own members. Obviously, only the Dems are consistently willing to entertain thoughtful socialist ideas (in smallish doses). But NONE of that can happen if we nominate far left socialists who crush primaries only to get eviscerated in the general elections.
I’ve heard so many stories like mine of people like me getting permanently banned from Reddit. It’s a real bummer bc I truly enjoyed being able to find a wide range of discourse. I’m surprised/disappointed I haven’t figured out a long term workaround yet.
Well said. It’s almost as bad as YouTube. At least twitter sort of has nesting (wherein yt doesn’t), but it’s still just about impossible to comprehend when 3 or more people are conversing.
Aren’t our other devices like firesticks listening too? The firestick and Apple TV remotes have microphones too, right?
Can we test the beef to determine what animal it came from?
Anybody in here? Is there a fantasy football page anywhere on Lemmy?
Is there a Fantasy Football page on Lemmy? Only ones I found haven’t had activity for over a year.
Is there an active Fantasy Football lemmy page anywhere? The only ones I found are more than a year old.

Do you agree that, at least for now, we have to win general elections in order to begin carrying that out?
That’s fair. But similarly, you should acknowledge that “independent” predominately includes centrists and moderates of each party.

Now we just need a platform for kids to gamble away their crayon colors so that they’re ready to do the same with their very first paycheck.

I hope this is just temporary nihilism. If you’re serious, this might be the most pathetic thing I’ve read in weeks.
Can we get a link to the video clip of this?
