Biden didn't just not go left, he tried to outflank the republicans from the right by facilitating genocide, ending covid protections, and passing the most draconian border bill since like the 40s.

This is one of the worst examples of confirmation bias I have ever seen. The Biden Administration's entire record is out there for you to peruse, and you pick 3 things out of hundreds, possibly thousands, that you think justify your comparison.

Maybe every window makes sense on the inside

It's pretty wonky, but HWRF is a great resource too, but not updated quite as often as some others.

"Do I agree with an article posted to this garbage community?"

As Christians, of course, we recognize that we all have sins for which to repent. Nonetheless, few of us will envy John Deere executives when the time comes to explain their decisions to God.

Totally off the rails.

Furthermore, the brand of leadership offered by former President Donald Trump, the soon-to-be Republican nominee for president in 2024, has the advantage of blending pro-America trade policies with pro-growth fiscal and regulatory policies.

And completely delusional. Trump and the Republican party since Reagan are most responsible for policies allowing the offshoring of jobs

There's also the reality that the Egyptian pyramids on the left were all built over 2000 years before all the Mayan pyramids on the right

"60% growth" seems large, but there are almost 85,000,000 people in Germany, so we're talking about growing from ~0.03% to ~0.05% of the population here.

Lemmy is your job, apparently

I just don't wanna be social and hate the world.

Saying that after also talking about how your situation is depressing to you indicates you want things to be different but aren't ready to try to make anything different. People's life circumstances can fuck with them, for sure, but the only person who can make anything different for you is you.

You're stuck having a pity party for yourself and you've spun your self-hatred into hatred for "the world." Try really hard to let go of whatever shame and self-hatred you're holding on to and accept that none of us are perfect, and there are actually plenty people out there who would accept you and be your friend if you treat them with respect.

The Supreme Court had consistently been moving many issues to the left over many decades until very recently, so I don't know what you're talking about here at all. This is the direct result of the Republican Party, from Mitch McConnell refusing to even entertain the possibility of Obama filling Scalia's seat to Trump appointing 3 justices. There's a dose of Ginsburg's narcissism in there too, she should have retired.

Chickens and many other birds appear to bob their heads because their eyes are fixed in their sockets, so they can't fix their eyes on a point while moving, but instead have to keep their head still. What looks like bobbing is the bird pushing its head forward and keeping it completely still for a moment while its body catches up. Without keeping its head still, it wouldn't be able to see much of anything very effectively, prey or predator.

T rex might have been able to move its eyes, in which case it probably wouldn't have bobbed its head.

DBT 4 lyfe. I'm a strong believer that literally everyone would benefit from learning DBT skills. Interpersonal communication, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mindfulness are all skills people can practice and develop

Buttigieg should be front and center a lot. He's whip smart, a great speaker, and really relatable
