  • As far as I can tell, The Harris/Walz campaign hasn’t officially responded to this endorsement. Are you getting mad about stuff that hasn’t even happened?

    Believe it or not, the Harris/Walz campaign doesn’t orchestrate endorsements. Anyone can endorse a candidate with or without that candidate’s knowledge, permission, or acknowledgement.

    Harris may be getting the endorsement of old-school/moderate Republicans, but Trump has the endorsement of extremist/far-right Republicans and Neo-Nazis.

    If you can’t pick a side here, that’s entirely your own moral failure.













  • Nah. Relying on the ACA, and voting for people who want to abolish it is a leopards eating faces situation.

    The guy in this meme is wrong because he’s not paying attention to the wider pressures of society, and the needs of the people he’s talking to, when those people just want a better system.

    He disagrees with the woman demanding better ethical practices from Apple because she uses an Apple product, but the reality is that it is difficult to navigate modern society without a smartphone, and there’s pretty much no brand that doesn’t have some ethical failings in their supply chain. It’s not hypocrisy to point out a systemic issue, and want to see it resolved, if your participation is unavoidable.

    He disagrees with the man wanting seatbelts for his car, because he bought a car without them. Wanting greater safety features for the machinery you regularly operate is pragmatic, not hypocritical. Seeing a problem and offering a solution is a productive thing to do.

    But relying on the ACA for access to healthcare, and then voting to have the ACA dismantled with absolutely no plan on how to replace it, essentially denying millions of Americans, including themselves, access to healthcare? That’s just fucking insane. There’s no call for a better system. There’s no suggestion for how to do things differently. Just a call to tear down a system that people rely on for their health.

    If you think that we ought to hear the Republicans out on their anti-Healthcare agenda, or that people who rely on the ACA aren’t voting against their own interests when they vote Republican, you’re not paying attention to what’s at stake.






  • First of all, that analysis you posted is not particularly scientific, and there’s an abundance of evidence that vegan diets hurt cats.

    Second, once you’re getting into arguments about “synthetic nutrients”, it’s pretty clear that you don’t actually know how animals nutrition works, and probably shouldn’t have a pet at all if you don’t know how to keep one without making it suffer due to malnutrition.

    Not sure why you’re vegan, but it certainly isn’t because you care about the well-being of animals…



  • It needs overrides, because it regularly colors text inputs dark gray with black text. I have to turn it off for Salesforce, which has no native dark mode, when ideally I would just override the background color for text boxes…

    The worst part about light sensitivity and dark mode is that the closer you get to 100% dark mode coverage, without actually reaching 100%, the more painful and jarring every exception is.
