Both sides pledged to support and defend the constitution when they took the job. One side is refusing to do that. The compromise is they pay their debts and think about this the next time they want to give billionaires a tax cut. https:&#

The GOP has gotten increasingly radical since throwing in with Evangelicals and segregationists[0]. It accelerated with the Tea Party[1] wave which dragged the party further to the right, and keeps getting worse. We always came back from t

The constitution is, in the end, a piece of old paper in a climate controlled box. It's on humans to bring it to life. Humans don't always do the things they say they will on paper even if they put one hand on a different book of

You'd think she would have been more sympathetic to trans people and understanding of the anger underlying a lot of the response, given all that. It's true that not enough space is given to de-transitioners, but much of the discou

Calckey recently gained the ability to migrate posts. Even from Mastodon. Maybe that'll motivate Mastodon and the forks to prioritize it.

Sidekiq seems to be the culprit from what I've seen and read from people who've run into this issue. It gets overloaded fast if you don't have enough processing power in front of the queue. Lighter implementations apparently

There's a discourse clash. AT and Bluesky are unfinished. Not ready for primetime. It's not fair to compare it to mature, well-developed stuff with W3C specs and millions of active users on thousands of servers with numerous popul

It was probably the violent, racist screed that came out during discovery in the Dominion suit on top of the sexist stuff. Even Fox News has standards. Specifically, hosts can't be seen or heard saying the quiet part out loud.

Athens, GA is good if you want something that feels a little more small town but still has (free!) bus stops everywhere, the occasional rainbow flag, and enough food and entertainment options that you'll never be bored.

Your lack of familiarity with the phrase and misunderstanding your own source does not actually prove anything. Here, I'll give you a head start on doing what I suggested. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22grow+wary%22

2008 started in 2006 when the housing bubble started to burst. It was a slow burn through to 2008 when Lehman Brothers collapsed and revealed how bad things were. These things are always cascade failures that start slow and isolated, and no

Grow weary (tired of) and grow wary (suspicious of/concerned about) are different things though. Irregardless is a modification of the already useful regardless. I'm not sure how they're comparable.

You said it's not a thing. It is, in fact, a thing. I've heard it and said it often enough to be sure it's not so uncommon that it's reasonable to say it's not a thing. You also need to keep in mind what Google Ng

MHTML is almost as old as Google and was first implemented by Internet Explorer in 2001. They're identical to .eml files too (it's plain old MIME), so you can load them in your email client if you're so inclined.
