As usual, I voted for who I wanted in the primary and I’ll vote for who I must in November and, as usual, they won’t be the same person.

rifugee@lemmy.worldto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•“No, it’s just fireworks!” Chicago cop opens fire on child with fireworks after ShotSpotter gunshot alert52·1 year agoNotably, a cosmetologist requires 2-3 times more training than police officers in the US. The only two countries with lower training requirements are Iraq and Afghanistan. Stories like this post, the acorn incident, and shooting into that ladies house, start to make a lot more sense with that context, eh?
rifugee@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Firefighters needed so much water that a Minnesota town's people were asked to go without22·1 year agoIt’s a rural town, so maybe a lot of the kids live in the country and are on wells instead of the town’s water tower?
There are many states where trucks only need one plate, and they put it in the front.
Is this more shit posting or are you serious?
rifugee@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•A California man was found with 1 million rounds of ammo and 248 illegally owned guns in his house, state authorities say344·1 year agoThe article says that the man is prohibited from owning firearms, so he probably has a felony or something. I’m not sure about California, but you wouldn’t need any kind of special license to own all of those guns and ammo in a lot of states.
Some people don’t attach value or sentimentality to $5 valentine’s day cards and would rather just spend time with their partner and spending time picking out a good card for each other can be fun. I personally like the funny ones so it can be fun to pick those out, show them to your partner, have a laugh together, and then put them back. The card brings the same amount of joy, but you don’t have to spend money or throw it away later.
Blasphemy! How can you look at that perfect hairy specimen and not think that is a good shape?

rifugee@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The US economy is doing well. President Biden wants to know why so many Americans are still feeling bad32·1 year agoI don’t disagree with you either, but I’m not sure what to do about it other than to continue to vote for people that I do think will represent me and then vote for the least shitty choice after none of those people make it past the primaries.

He’s a wealthy career politician in his 80’s I’d be surprised if he wasn’t out of touch with the vast majority of the population. I certainly didn’t vote for him in the Democratic primaries, but he’s much better than the alternative.

Planning to buy a 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV and read they may have had a recall.3·1 year agoI’m not 100% sure, but I found this old thread that suggests that if it shows closed then the car has already had the issue fixed. Maybe a previous owner took care of it?

Especially when the other person is immune to hypocrisy.
rifugee@lemmy.worldto [Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world•Did I make a mistake with not inviting people to our wedding?English19·1 year agoMy spouse and I did something very similar. It sucks, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. Fortunately, we only had one friend that got offended enough to defriend us and, well frankly, we decided that maybe we were better off without that particular friend in our lives.
Congratulations, by the way!

rifugee@lemmy.worldto Offbeat@lemmy.ca•Food delivery robot crashes into car, flees scene of accident52·1 year agoI know that it didn’t actually flee and just drove off because it was following it’s programming, but damn, the mental image of this robot hitting a car and then going, “Oh, shit! I’m outta here,” is hilarious to me.
…I may be a little high.
Is it a Rick Roll if you expect it?
