FuglyDuck , in Trump calls his supporters ‘basement dwellers’, says former press secretary
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

When I first bought my house, the first thing i did was remodel and finish the basement.

I put the new master bath there, along with an office and living room.

It’s easier to keep comfortable in every season, is easier to block light out of (I work nights) and there’s less noise coming in from outside.

We should all become hobbits, and I don’t like being confused with the idiot trolls that are his base.

ChickenLadyLovesLife ,

I’d be happy hanging out mostly in my basement since it’s relatively toasty in the winter and downright chilly in summer, but I just can’t bear the lack of sunlight. I need regular bright daylight to keep the depression away.

I’ve found vivariums or houseplants with sunlight LED’s to be a great way to bring that indoors. (I’m practically a vampire, so that’s been a struggle regardless of where my room is.)

Vivariums are great and relatively low maintenance if they’re set up right. (and they’re really not hard to set up, to be honest.)

but, eh, to each their own.

FuglyDuck , in US officials say Gaza deal on edge of collapse

Bruh.

They’ve been lying to you. Israel has no interest in a ceasefire. They just don’t want tell the gravy train to go fuck itself.

Frittiert , in Microplastics are infiltrating brain tissue, studies show: ‘There’s nowhere left untouched’

Shit. So a quick search says a brain weighs 1.5kg and 0.5% is 7.5g. A credit card weighs about 5g. We have more plastic in our brains than there is in a card?

The article mentions that the quantity in 2024 was 50% higher than in 2016 - which is a high increase for just 8 years. This development probably doesn’t slow down, it may even get faster. How much plastic will be in our brains in another 8 years?

Shit.

Bakkoda ,

Heh so that’s what a panic attack feels like. Yay.

some_guy , in The steel plant that saved Vance’s family from poverty is getting $500M from Biden. One worker says that ‘doesn’t really change anything’

“I don’t really look for the government to do anything for you,” he said. “It’s more like just stay out of my way.”

This is the problem. Instead of giving up on the government actually doing anything positive, these people should be demanding more. But their tiny brains have been so poisoned with hate that they only see the government as useful for harming others. The switcharoo their shitbag idols have pulled on them has them completely incapable of focusing on the real problems while the wealthy pillage the country further.

“I will terminate Kamala Harris’s green new scam and rescind all of the unspent funds, give all of the unspent funds back to building roads, bridges and give it back to the government,” Trump said at a North Carolina rally last week.

It’s almost as though they think that by not spending this money bettering communities it’ll somehow reduce how much they have to pay in taxes. No! Get the free handout!

Kecessa ,

If the government hadn’t intervenened he would probably be out of a job sooner than later…

SteveFromMySpace , in Mother arrested in Texas after baby dies in hot car

22mo isn’t a baby or infant, which I only bring up because that’s always the case people envision but you need to really pay attention to this stuff even as your kids get older. It’s so fucking tragic when the stuff happens either way.

njm1314 ,

Yeah every other story I’ve heard about this says toddler I’m not sure why this headlines is differently

SteveFromMySpace ,

I hesitate to harp on it too much because it’s borderline semantics, but again, I just think it’s good for people to know that it’s not just babies that are at risk. Until a kid can get themselves out of a car on their own comfortably AND has the wherewithal to do so, it’s a risk.

thefartographer , in Teen girl sues Detroit judge who detained her after she fell asleep in courtroom

But… But he also offered to mentor her. He said it in a really creepy tone.

njm1314 ,

“HI I’ve shown terrible reasoning and judgment skills, let me teach you about the world.”

einlander ,

Sounds like grooming to me.

Hotzilla , in Elon Musk’s best move in EU fight may be an eXit

Please exit Twitter from EU, that would be wonderful. Unfortunately he is just all words, and will not get anything done.

Buffalox , (edited ) in Teen girl sues Detroit judge who detained her after she fell asleep in courtroom

That judge should clearly have been removed from the bench, instead of just being asked to attend some sort of behavior class with pay. The usual slap on the wrist with a feather for the privileged.
He clearly lacks a sense of scope, and limitation to his powers. And apparently has extreme views on punishment for nothing burgers that aren’t even illegal. He also has a complete lack of empathy and understanding how strongly punishment can influence a person, especially a young person, and especially a person being punished harshly despite doing no harm.
He is completely unfit to be a judge.

I hope the girl wins her lawsuit, and the judge will receive some true punishment through that.

forrcaho ,

… and his past cases need to be reviewed. Is someone serving 10x the usual jail sentence for some infraction because of this judge? Probably.

Poayjay ,

Whenever I hear about a shitty judge, DA, or cop that’s where my mind jumps immediately. Once one of these people have their judgment or integrity called into question, every case they had any involvement in should also be questioned.

partial_accumen , in Teen girl sues Detroit judge who detained her after she fell asleep in courtroom

From one of the linked articles:

“Eva Goodman, 15, attended King’s court earlier this week with a nonprofit on a field trip.”

I’m guessing that non-profit is done exposing kids to courtrooms now even as simple observers.

some_guy , in Police raid Andrew Tate's home in Romania as new allegations emerge involving minors

In April, the Bucharest Tribunal ruled that the prosecutors’ case file against the four met the legal criteria and that a trial could start but did not set a date for it to begin.

I wonder if the possibility of a future raid was the reason for not setting a trial date. I hope they find even more damning evidence to use against him and he goes down hard.

Yerbouti , in Police raid Andrew Tate's home in Romania as new allegations emerge involving minors

I like to think that alpha males are meant to be surrounded by other alpha males. Prison is the best place for them to gather, no stupid woman in a high-security detention centers.

LarmyOfLone , in Chrystul Kizer jailed for 11 years for killing her abuser

Let killer cops go free, jail the victims of the failed justice system.

The cruelty seems to be the point.

partial_accumen , in The steel plant that saved Vance’s family from poverty is getting $500M from Biden. One worker says that ‘doesn’t really change anything’

“I don’t really look for the government to do anything for you,” he said. “It’s more like just stay out of my way.”

“Except on abortion. On abortion, the government should most certainly stay in the way…and on books in a library…government should stay in the way on that one too. Bathrooms! Most certainly a place government should stay in the way. I believe it is of paramount importantance to all Americans that the genitalia you use to relieve yourself match what I think it should for the room you’re in doing it…except if its a single seat bathroom, then it doesn’t matter…and government should stay out of the way.” - Vance probably
