Think they mean the heart-shaped genderqueer pin, so ...

You mean the external display toggle? Because otherwise, no.

@SwedishFool@lemmy.world literally said the relative uses their truck for work, so...

Right, because the cool part of upgrading your phone is trying to make it feel like its your phone, from scratch. Perishable software is anything but desirable, unless you enjoy having the very air you breathe sold to you.

Imagine thinking Public Education doesn't count. Or that no one without a college degree ever invented anything useful. That's before we get to your notion of "College SHOULD be expensive, for everyone, always".

The problem with education is NOT that some people pay less for theirs, or nothing at all, nor that some even have the audacity to learn quickly. AI could help everyone to have a chance to learn cheaply, even quickly.

Preaching to the choir much?

Sorry, you've confused me for someone who gives a crap what else Biden has accomplished versus the shit like in the OP he or his expects us to let slide or not notice.

Voted Green last time, and surprisingly Biden has a shot at my vote in this coming election, BUT if you go far enough left, you get your guns back. Don't come at me with the word "progressive" -to quote Biden, that's malarky. There's "progressive" Republicans, and while we're on that topic, most of what's getting passed is both bi-partisan and veto-proof, at least in the Senate.

Maybe don't attribute everything good, or so much of anything in particular to Biden if you can't handle seeing the actions of HIS appointees and their lackeys laid at his feet.

Call me when we get some real prison reform, among a myriad other issues on which Trump merely served as a delay for things the public wants which the Democrats in office don't really want to do.

Maybe a little facetious on my part, but putting all of this on one line(I keep hitting Cancel when I meant to Post or Save an Edit). Easy fix would be to remove the word "Select", &/or even replace the word "language" with the currently active language(En-US, in my case).

Look, y'all's knee-jerk defense of everything Biden was almost cute for the first year or so, but the rest of us are sick of waiting for your neo-liberal status-quo daddy to accomplish anything of substance and put a lid on events like this one.

All you just spelled out is that he's had over a year longer in office(aka 62.8% - just a tad short of 2/3rds of his term) than he might have left. You really expect us to believe that an establishment Democrat is so much less capable of Trump-proofing than Trump was of sabotaging it all? They have records of every idiot Trump installed and other actions he took.

Did I say to impeach him? No, I said to write and petition him. Get on it.

Get on it as if his term is almost over, because let's be real: 1.5 years is not enough time for him to accomplish all-that-much(especially by your metric of "he's only had 2.5 years!!" 🙄 ).

Because he only directly appoints the head of the EPA. Replacing the head alone does not a clean house make, and if it did, how would this fuel additive get approved?

More for* Biden's legacy, if he and the rest of his administration do nothing, but thanks for highlighting the fact that calling/writting just the EPA will accomplish nothing - those people are likely all appointees, with not a care in the world for getting re-elected.

All that said, the people down-voting you are ignoring that Biden has supposedly cleaned house at the EPA, or its in progress - they don't get to lay everything at Trump's feet any more. Not without dates and details neither they nor the OP's article really provide. Biden's term(1st?) in office is almost over for godssake!. Meanwhile, we SHOULD INDEED be harrassing Biden and some Congress-critters about this. This is August 2023, not November 2020.

Lastly, on matters of accomplishing anything of substance, according to the article, back in June, the EPA proposed a new rule that may yet see this new additive stopped in its tracks. Anyone know how that went?
