The new series is great, I used to not like Sophie in the original series but now I love her. They all have excellent chemistry and the new guy (Harry) and Hardison’s little sister are additions that fit perfectly into that despite my initial doubts about it.

Man, Nathan is the most boring character on Leverage. That guy probably sucks.

Well, yeah, some are like that. That’s why we have “bad boy” stereotypes and the saying “nice guys finish last.” Women want men they can relate to and enjoy being around, and some women enjoy being with guys that aren’t respectful of things/people that they don’t have an emotional connection to. Most women I’ve met don’t want that type of guy.

She didn’t need the money that bad, anon. There are worse things in the world than being friends with a hot girl.

Why? I’m Canadian, so I guess the NATO requirement that we increase military spending to 4% of our GDP ($41 billion dollars). It’s pretty contentious and fucked up. It’s not like I’m an American single-issue voter, sorry to burst your bubble.

What conversations, specifically

Lol, okay, very specific. I’m also talking about this community, where this rule was made despite there being basically 1 post per hour.

What conversations, specifically, are being stifled or overlooked due to US politics? The comm isn’t very active.

Not American, but can’t we let the country with the highest user count have one day to process this and wonder about the consequences? Even I need time and have questions lol. The US and Canada have a very, uh, close relationship, so this affects me too.

Same here! I’m Canadian and, while we may have a snap election at any time given the current situation, our next scheduled federal election isn’t for almost a year.

I still find it so baffling that red states are limiting the number of polling places to make it as inconvenient as possible to vote. Surely that reduces the willingness to vote of their own base too. Given the electoral college, jerrymandering, and voter roll purges, you’d think they’d be satisfied with how things are rigged already without resorting to blatant disenfranchisement.

It would be cool for you guys to have a viable third party, so you should try to make that a reality outside of just voting if you can. I’m sure they would appreciate a donation or another volunteer after the election and local efforts are often more meaningful long-term since they help create the grassroots support that leads to national viability.

So I’ll preface this by saying I’m a late 20s Canadian who attended elementary school from 2001-2009, but we weren’t taught phonics (the actual system), we were taught about word sounds.

A lot of my classmates were on their own if they didn’t immediately “get it.” Also, it was encouraged to skip words if you didn’t know them and then try to guess what they were based on the context of the sentence. Lots of wrong guesses happened and those kids got laughed at.

I found it incredibly concerning as a kid because there were a ton of weaker readers who could barely get through a single sentence. This is still happening, even if it’s not in your child’s school, and that should concern you. These kids will grow up thinking they’re stupid when they just needed different tools like your son has.

“Were you dropped on your head as a child? That would just add to my problems.”

Welcome to Debian! Listen to @treadful@lemmy.zip, that’s the easy advice.

My parents (who are nearly 70-year-old computer users, by the way, and threw away their 2010 Apple laptop in 2015 because it essentially stopped functioning) absolutely don’t have the technical knowledge to do something like this. I think you may be vastly overestimating the average user.

Yep, same with journalists. They just love to kill people, especially unarmed civilians. And yet people don’t believe me when I say they indoctrinate the kids to see non-Israelis as subhuman. There are so many videos.

You just know that if the UN sends them anyway, they’ll be killed by IDF murderers soldiers.

It doesn’t appear that that’s the case, because people on my instance have subscribed to the comm in question and the link still didn’t work. When I formatted the link correctly, it worked. Unless there’s an interoperability bug between Lemmy and Mbin, which is certainly possible.

Your link doesn’t link to the community on my instance, it links to the original instance, so that’s a bit annoying. Maybe that’s why?

Fellas, is it gay for your girlfriend to touch your dick?

Vaguely? I went to look and (since I don’t spend time in racist circles) comment #14 made my mouth actually open in surprise. It’s not vague at all.
