We will be seeing this more and more in Europe generally. Europeans seem to have tired of economic immigrants and the problems and expense they bring.

Nah, the downvotes are weird partisanship. The rest of the world knows that these parties sometimes cut deals on speakers.

On Tuesday, Democrats voted unanimously alongside Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida and seven other GOP members to remove McCarthy as Speaker. Despite talk over the weekend that some Democrats might cut a deal with McCarthy to save him, the Speaker ultimately refused to offer members of the opposition party any concessions, leaving Democrats united against him. In the narrowly divided House, only a handful of Republicans needed to join Democrats to create the majority needed to win the vote.

Analogy isn't working for me. I've turned it off and back on again. Still nothing. 😆

Tons of CHINESE ammo.

The partisanship in here, among what I assume are mostly adults, is monstrously depressing.

It is a fact.

That may be true but he also would have been voted out by his own party if he had. Honestly, they turned on him as soon as he DID work with Democrats.

Feel badly for her. First she had to take the studio to court over Black Widow and now this.

Favorited. Thanks for the quote.

I'm working at a liquor store as a cashier right now. It isnt where I want to be in six months but it's been a joy overall. The amount of chitchat I get to engage in is voluminous and I learn a lot every day about people's lives.

Handkerchiefs are the bomb. I carry one everywhere I go (when I don't forget 🥲). Really feel like they could make a comeback with the right marketing.

It's the main impediment, imo. That and lack of an easy to find list of servers to join.

But I love the feel and tone.

No karma means fewer bots and less incentive to turn instances into echo chambers. It's precisely what I like about mastodon.
