Good choice šŸ‘

Protoknuckles , in Kamala Harris has told allies that he she has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz

Seems like a good dude.

So thereā€™s been a lot of progressive changes (weed, abortion, LGBTQ,) and heā€™s been working that here.

He genuinely cares about people and absolutely will be a great VP.

Edit: and you know the whole ā€œTrump is weirdā€ thing? He started that. (Well as a campaign thing.)

Phen ,

How did it start? Iā€™m not American so I only get to see the reactions to newspieces commenting that Republicans are hating the weird thing, but have no idea how itā€™s being used.

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

He was giving an interview with some tv thing and commented that trump is weird and people started running with it

Not actually a lot there. Mostly because thatā€™s just Walzā€¦ being honest.

here he is explaining it

givesomefucks , (edited ) in Harris selects Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be VP running mate, sources say

Great, another politician in the pockets of (checks notes) Orthopedic Surgeons?

www.opensecrets.org/ā€¦/contributors?cid=N00027467&ā€¦

Dude seems pretty clean, and looks like he listens to protesters instead of fighting them.

Disappointing itā€™s an 80 year old and not someone being groomed for a future run, but overall better than I expected.

I guess itā€™s the same logic as pairing Biden with Obama.

TransplantedSconie ,

Hes not 80, dumbass. Heā€™s 60 and a year older than Harris.

hydrashok ,

Walz is only a few months older than Harris. She is 59 and will be 60 in October. Walz turned 60 in April.

givesomefucks ,

My bad, must have fucked up the mental math

TransplantedSconie ,

No. You didnā€™t.

iAmTheTot ,

Why so hostile to someone who was overall receptive to the pick and went back to correct their comment?

protist ,

Tim Walz is the same age as Kamala Harris lmao

Dude just has white hair.

kandoh ,

Unreal, this is like learning that the age of the cast of Cheers or Seinfeld were in their late 20s early 30s

WanderingVentra ,

Seems like a good pick!

givesomefucks ,

Yeah, I donā€™t know much about him. But just looking at his wiki and open secrets and heā€™s legit better than I thought weā€™d get.

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

A lot of the progressive pushes we had here in Minnesota are from him leading the charge.

Him and Peggy Flannigan whoā€™ll replace him as gov when he resigns. (Iirc, Peggy will be our first native governor? This will be interesting.)

TransplantedSconie , in Kamala Harris has told allies that he she has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz

Told yah all. Iā€™m gonna go kick her another $30

qprimed , (edited )

my house just put in $50. would likely not have scraped the barrel for that and done just the usual local/state donations.

see, demsā€¦ this is how you juice up your base and get the grass roots hands/feet/wallet support flowing.

now fucking win and fucking deliver. our children are out of time.

protist , in Kamala Harris has told allies that he she has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz

Harris/Walz 2024!! Letā€™s get out there

exanime , in Adin Ross ā€˜giftsā€™ Trump a Rolex and Cybertruck wrapped in rally shooting photo during unhinged livestream

Saw a cybertruck live for the first time last nightā€¦ We all exploded in laughter at how ridiculous they look, way worse than in pictures

IphtashuFitz ,

You might enjoy watching this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK_EJ3DyiiA

exanime ,

It was enjoyableā€¦ Thank you kind stranger

teamevil ,

Itā€™s like a special 4-year-oldā€™s drawing drove off of the page into our lives

some_guy ,

Same reaction my first time.

It sounds like privatized prisons paid for this AGā€™s yacht.

MyEdgyAlt , in Blindfolded, bound and beaten: Palestinians tell of Israeli jail abuse

Donā€™t worry though, people who dislike Israel just secretly hate people for being Jewish. Totally not because of the decades of abuse.</s>

skozzii , in Adin Ross ā€˜giftsā€™ Trump a Rolex and Cybertruck wrapped in rally shooting photo during unhinged livestream

In 10 years hope all these idiots look back at this and feel an immense amount of shame, but I doubt itā€¦

Heā€™s got a pretty solid flavor of vanilla. Good choice, Kamala

Heā€™s vanilla bean. Pretty basic, but has those little flecks of flavor in him.

Yambu , in Kamala Harris has told allies that he she has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz

Kinda sad we donā€™t get an astronaut vp but thatā€™s alright

FundMECFSResearch ,

Walz is more progressive than Kelly.

You win some you loose some šŸ¤·

cowfodder ,

Agreed, butā€¦

LOSE

FundMECFSResearch ,

Man the english language makes no sense.

the sound in lose is the same sound as we are taught ā€œooā€ makes.

Couldnā€™t a more straightforward language be chosen as the global one ffs

brenstar ,

Loose could really be tightened up if it could just lose one of those Os

Nutteman ,
@Nutteman@lemmy.world avatar

Looks like we can thank the Dutch language for that one

FundMECFSResearch ,

doesnā€™t matter what the root is. Just conform the spelling to fit your languageā€™s rules

dcpDarkMatter ,

English? Rules?

We don't do that here.

cowfodder ,

GHOTI is pronounced as ā€œfishā€.

Buelldozer ,
@Buelldozer@lemmy.today avatar

Damn, I havenā€™t seen that one in forever.

Mouselemming ,

Looks like loose is from Germanic/Old Norse, ā€œlausā€

And lose is from Old English, ā€œlosā€

Also looks like I canā€™t stand to look at either of these words for a few day now.

Nutteman ,
@Nutteman@lemmy.world avatar

From my tiny amount of research eventually it passed through the Dutch layer and ended up as ā€œlooseā€ from those origin points before being adopted into english

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

My father (who had a PhD in English) used to tell me that ā€œghotiā€ was pronounced ā€œfishā€

GH as in rouGH
O as in wOmen
TI as in raTIon

Sc00ter ,

How do you pronounce women? When I put those sounds together it makes more of a fush or fosh than fish .

Or do you say fish different than me?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

ā€œWih-men.ā€ I think youā€™re thinking of woman, the singular version of the word.

drbluefall ,
@drbluefall@toast.ooo avatar

That isnā€™t really consistent with English orthography.

But you can write ā€œpfyscheā€, and that would be consistent with English.

vxx ,

Thereā€™s also loose and they sound the same but mean different things.

Loose is when your pants is too wide.

Lose is when the pants were so wide that you lost them.

FundMECFSResearch ,

Lucyā€™s loose legwear lost latitude, leisurely lowering, leaving Lucyā€™s legs largely liberated. Lamentably, Lucyā€™s lost leggings landed listlessly, loitering lifelessly.ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹

Man looking a thesaurus is fun Lol

MutilationWave ,

They donā€™t sound the same at all though.

Lose - looze

Loose - luice

vxx ,

Interesting, I didnā€™t know that. FYI, thereā€™s the phonetic transcription that saves us from using other words to describe a pronunciation.

luĖz - lose

luĖs - loose

Zaktor ,

I think they sound different, loose ends with a curt ā€œsā€ sound, while lose ends with a longer ā€œzā€ sound.

Silly poem showing its age,

Made has not the sound of bade,

Made totally sounds like bade

Silentiea ,
@Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Ooh, also its accent, this is not a thing couplet for me

Discount, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward,

Nor itā€™s immediate predecessor,

Banquet is not nearly parquet,
Which exactly rhymes with khaki.

Parquet isnā€™t in my vocabulary, but doesnā€™t seem to rhyme with khaki in any common dialect either way.

When I was a kid, Scholastic did a ā€œkids pick the presidentā€ poll. It was 1984 and John Glenn was running. I voted for him because he was an astronaut and The Right Stuff had come out a year before so I also thought he was basically Ed Harris. (I was 7.)

Jesse Jackson won. I was disappointed at the time. Iā€™m not a fan of Jacksonā€™s, but Iā€™d still have taken him over 4 more years of Reagan.

phoneymouse ,

It would open up a senate seat dems donā€™t want to lose

@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, but maybe one day President Kelly? He seems like a interesting person, though I donā€™t know all of his policy stances

Etterra , in Biden, Harris head to Situation Room as Iran threatens attack on Israel

Well well well, if it isnā€™t the consequences of Israelā€™s own actions. Iā€™m surprised none of the christards on the right and cheering this as the eminent arrival of the end times. I love pointing and laughing every time these religious wackadoos are wrong about the arrival of Armageddon yet again. Not that they ever freaking learn.
