It’s greatly appreciated, even though I derived no benefit. You make lemmy better.

Because I squinted my way through the image first. I should have read the comments first.

Why 640 thousand?

It should be enough for anyone.

Dammit. Should have checked the comments first.

Greater surface area also means more material for the same product, which leads to less effective transport, more waste and increased polution.

Weren’t soda companies whining about aluminum costs just recently? Guess they found some extra in order to fleece their customers.

“vs” is doing some heavy lifting there.

Wait… downpunxx died?

They’re on board because the party moved to the right for them.

The only notes they pay any attention to are Federal Reserve Notes.

The policy, as stated by RFK is a progressive, left wing,

Centrists will call anything progressive. Remember this shit next time a centrist calls one of their own number a progressive. They think concentration camps are progressive. They think concentration camps are progress itself.

And it’s cute.

I kind of expected this. The company didn’t choose to be dicks about it in the first place, and it’s not like Benchy was even a commercial product to begin with. It was cutesy branding that only had a no-derivatives license because the original author was concerned about preserving its utility as a benchmark. But md5 will already do that particular trick if it’s really necessary.

The new owner gained nothing by keeping the more stringent license, and had more to gain in goodwill by releasing it to the public domain.

Oh christ. We’re done. Saying that democrats had a majority when their caucus had a majority isn’t a blatant lie. It wasn’t the independents that voted with republicans.

It was democrats who voted like you wanted them to.

Splitting hairs now?

It wasn’t the independents that voted with republicans.

That might have made sense in 2013 but we’ve had less than 50 dems every congress since then

We had 50 from 2020-2022. We gave them the seats. They squandered their majority. Because that’s what Democrats do.

A better solution is to just give Dems 60.

We did that in 2008. They found enough no votes. They always do.

You really think Republicans better represent you?

I think they better represent you.

No, we fucking did and I’m beyond sick of hearing excuses.

It would take 50 votes to change the senate rules and get rid of the filibuster. Democrats preferred the filibuster to all the shit they let die to preserve it.

They continuously call it to vote and Republicans continuously block it.

We gave them a large enough majority. They preferred having the filibuster to having credibility.

Sorry the system we’ve been abused by for the last 100 years didn’t change over night because you had a thought about it.

Are you?

One of the parties platform outlined an escape from plutocracy

That they had no intention of following.

This is why we’re losing.

We’re losing because you lot keep capitulating.
