This is just pen dragging. It's not at all the same as cursive.

. . . you mean duly elected officials who happen to be Muslim? Rightfully hired citizens?

Meanwhile, he's sucking off Saudi princes. What a fucking muppet.

Fuck that, and fuck her.

This shit has no place in schools.

I agree with some of your points. I also lived through the 80's and 90's and can pick them out more acutely.

But they're also long ago enough for the survivorship bias to kick in. There are highly specific aesthetics of the 80's that are regurgitated back to us through media that says "THIS IS THE 80'S". Think Stranger Things, where they just condensed an entire decade into head nods.

Meanwhile, no one is putting Bow Biters forward as iconic of the era, despite the fact that I remember seeing them everywhere when I was a kid. They are not a culturally recognized touch point the way that acid washed jeans and curly mullets are.

I think the average person has a very strong link to the aesthetics of their childhood, too. Someone born in 1995 is going to have a much sharper sense of what the "2000's" looked and felt like than you or I.

Tons of reasons.

  1. You lived through them. There is a continuity in your mind, rather than a dissociated aesthetic.
  2. Survivorship bias takes time. We think of bell bottoms for the 60's, even though there were many other pant styles. Over time, specific things become iconic of an era.
  3. The internet and mass media flattened and accelerated trends.

That is already how public defenders work.

"Nationalizing" elections also gives the president control over whether or not elections happen at all. As it stands, Trump can try to announce that there will be no elections and states can tell him to pound sand.

Yes. And sometimes poop.

It's a lot more difficult for AFAB people to do one and not the other if the urge is present for both.

Is there one that would work with my car's system?

[–] JackBinimbul@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Right, but it's not going to contain anything that can be used against me by fascists.

 

I'm fairly new to Blahaj and was trying out the different interfaces for a couple of days by choosing "once" on different ones to feel it out. I decided that I liked the old Reddit style and selected "always" on mlmym.

I didn't have any problems when I was selecting "once" for mlmym, but when I chose "always", it crapped itself. Immediately afterward, I was no longer able to access Blahaj.

I see myself logged in on the top right, but the page says "unable to retrieve site. there doesn't seem to be anything here"

I get this same error when checking through Chrome, Firefox, and Tor, even if I'm not logged in. If I do try to log in on another browser, I put in my credentials and get the "unable to retrieve site" error and it does not log me in.

I can only access Blahaj again by using a direct link to a sub with a different interface prefix (https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/main for example).

Sometimes I'm able to quickly hit "cancel redirect" on the default page that comes up when it's trying to push to mlmym.

I've changed it to "always" on Blorp instead and it works fine, but I'd really rather use mlmym.

Is there a fix for this?
