Am I missing something? I only see the AI overview as an option after clicking the “try new features” lab logo. Are some versions of Google search forcing this feature currently?

some of them? sometimes?

Have you ever seen an ork? They were created to fight and they live in a universe where there is only WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Dey have a right good time krumpin’, ya git.

Is making art with the rain an option?

Sand darkens when wet so that could make a cool canvas, theoretically.

You could also play with that “wall of rain” effect you sometimes see when you are just outside of a heavy rain area.

Alternatively, just make “social commentary” like a torrential downpour on the financial district. Sometimes art is just revenge.

Hunting down Catholic priests

Turns out they were basically bounty hunters for Catholic priests during Elizabeth I’s reign.

What?

“Really? How about dying for it?”

What’s the old lingers?

Maybe no one should see it?

There’s pretty widely documented evidence that slaughterhouse work is also harmful to mental health.

Nah, it’ll find food no problem. The legal liabilities are the real kicker.

The community’s called work reform.

To play devil’s advocate here, I suspect many rural voters would probably just say they’d like to be left alone more than anything else.

They really buy into that Reagan line about “I’m from the government and I’m here to help” being the 9 most terrifying words in the English language. They haven’t seen government programs working effectively around them.

I’m not sure promising more government assistance for rural areas is a winning message, is my point.

We might be able to point out the class divide between republican voters and their representatives, though. That, and highlighting the donors those representatives are really working for.

Conservative philosophy has had generations to settle in these areas, so any messaging to the contrary is going to be an uphill climb.

Explaining a joke never makes it funny.

Also, you’re calling a joke low-brow while also admitting you didn’t understand it.

Do you also need me to explain why that’s a self-own?

Make them open and close in a circular pattern like a camera aperture and I’m in

I hear you. Hope the administration hears you too, for all our sakes.

I agree there’s a problem, and I agree about supporting progressive candidates when available.

I think this is being taken as the only option mostly because a lot of strong progressive voices sat out this primary.

Fair enough, to your point about people on Lemmy planning to make mistakes in November. I suspect those people aren’t the same ones voting uncommitted in the primary, though.

I mostly see those as motivated progressives trying to raise an alarm so Dems can course correct here. If Dems listened, they might give us more ammo to persuade those Lemmy users who aren’t on board.

I’d say the idea of using the primary to voice concerns about what’s happening in Gaza is the least harmful path for people who really care about stopping fascism in both countries. Dems need to really hear that there is a problem that needs to be addressed, and voting uncommitted is literally the least you can do.

Dems stand to lose a lot of votes if they continue to be silent for the “hug Bibi” policy.

Also, sorry, but I don’t understand what alternative you’re suggesting for this course-correction. Can you clarify?

For the record, my proposal is to hash this conversation out during the primaries and then go all-hands on deck for Dems in November. Because we have to.

I had heard the servitor story before but forgot where it was sourced. Do you happen to remember which book it came from?
