It didn’t work for Florida though. Desantis was running for the nomination, not for president. Had he won the nomination, he would have had to resign as governor.
science and music. and beer. and dogs.

Dred Scott?
Sometimes precedent is plain wrong.
ETA: not in this instance though. This was a time they should have respected precedent.
Hah! Ya got me!
But of course I’m talking about the adjective punk, as in " punk rock," which is an entirely other word than the noun puncke, (or, more modern, punk ) which Shakespeare used.
ETA: I don’t mean to imply they’re not related They just aren’t the same word. And one of them was created in the 1970s.
I agree that the word punk came to be associated with aesthetics, almost exclusively. But that is very far from where it started, and it is frustrating for those who started it to see it coopted like this. The association of the word with anything other than anti-consumerism is just " branding" at its worst.
I was a tween when the first version of “punk” came around (yes, that makes me old). I think I can say with authority that the ideals were: anti-corporate, anti-consumerism, and anti-commercialism. Ever since then people have tried to sum it up (and marginalize it) as “DIY.” But that falls well short of what it really was.
Of course, the second it showed any sign of viable popularity, the forces of capitalism, well…, capitalized on it. The obvious examples are bullshit, high production, made-for-tv bands like Green Day getting sold as punk rock. But does anyone remember Urban Outfitters? Holy crap, the open, unashamed corporate pandering!
It’s not about nostalgia. It’s about passive aggressively needling Musk, and it works and I love it.
You seem to be taking this a bit personally - did someone pour water in your bag?
An eye for an eye is not justice, and it doesn’t lead to peace.
That’s so weird because a quote from WaPo had him saying he could hear the sincerity in her apology.
rtfa. That was never implied by either side.
Thankfully, it is not the country yet. It is just a sizeable and highly motivated minority. Fuck them.
The article says 400 were surrounded, not surrendered. It then says 30 surrendered. I think it’s fair to call that “dozens.”
your large fonts are obnoxious.
not a reason
…for what?
Waxed paint and window glass cause the same problem. So, it’s not a problem then?
The goal of Ubuntu’s help forum is to solve users’ problems efficiently and effectively. That goal is better achieved if questions are posed in certain optimal ways.
The goal of Lemmy is for people to have discussions (like this one! ;). That goal is not better achieved with well posed questions.
It has another danger too, when it glints in the sunlight and blinds other drivers.
Chrome was always a bad idea.
Why though? Seriously, why is it a problem for you if they ask here first, instead of asking somewhere else first? What is the actual harm to you?
Some people would rather interact with other humans. Some prefer to find their answers without interacting with other humans. It’s all good.
We aren’t Ubuntu here. As far as I’m concerned OP’s question was just fine.
What is the harm, to you or anyone else, when someone makes a forum their first resort, instead of last? If having people ask questions here that aren’t “good questions” according to you is bothering you, perhaps you are the problem.
You have to, if your horse literally can’t make it across. It may not go well, but you have no choice.
