Good choice šŸ‘

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

TransplantedSconie ,

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.

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

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 ,

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.

Hereā€™s a poem you might enjoy: ncf.idallen.com/english.html

@Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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

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

Walz 60

He doesnā€™t look a day over 75.

Reading the article though he sounds like a good pick

CLOTHESPlN ,

Minnesotan here, been very pleased with the direction of policy and commitment to constituents heā€™s had. Bummed he wonā€™t be the gov when heā€™s VP but thatā€™s just me being a little selfish.

Thatā€™s great to hear. Iā€™m not American, but you canā€™t sleep next to an elephant, and not feel when it moves. What happens south of our border definitely influences Canadians, and even their politics. I earnestly hope Harris takes it. Sheā€™s got a lot of buzz around her: way more than Biden ever did. Sheā€™s a legitimately solid candidate - something we would kill for up here.

Better choice than Shapiro
