Damn that’s a deep cut

Ok but like a lot of people saw the snow compared to the dog thing which ended up not actually having any good primary source

Trust me bro, there used to be snow in the winter.

It’s not 50% more though. I track my groceries closely going back almost ten years and it’s more like a 15% increase in staple items compared to 2018. Processed food, luxury meat and frozen food is like 30-60% higher (my data on this is less robust) but milk, eggs and bread is not 50% more expensive unless you are buying the most expensive options.

You can literally go look at commodity market price history. Wheat is 9% above 2018. Cheese is 6% higher. Milk +17%, rice +10%, eggs +12%.

Eggs at Aldi near me are legitimately not that much more expensive than $1.40. I think it was like $1.89 in store price for the cheapest ones. That’s why I don’t understand this whole thing. Eggs aren’t even that expensive. I feel like the whole country is collectively gaslighting me.

It doesn’t matter because it was never about the price of groceries.

It doesn’t matter because republican voters don’t actually care about the price of eggs. They only pretend to if they think it will help them win. It’s actually amazing more people don’t understand this considering it has been a pattern in US elections for like 40 years now.

Sabotage Democratic outreach and voter engagement efforts right?

Nah, genZ are apparently prudes. They have less sex and apparently don’t like fan service in media. Puritanism and teetotaling is the new counterculture.

The porn ban will just be the excuse they use to crack down on VPNs so they can implement a full on Chinese style internet censorship program.

I can’t wait until we get to 2028 so we can talk about how eggs are more expensive than they are now. Oh wait, that only happens when democrats are in office

The people of Virginia have filed a formal complaint

I mean what you saw last night is exactly why your revolutionary movement will be snuffed out. If the fascist has that kind of popular support, there is no revolution, only martyrdom. Maybe civil war.

All of these so called anti fascists sure do seem excited about a fascist being elected

It’s more illustrative of how liberals and progressive consistently suck at messaging and voter outreach because they are always hedging, equivocating or focused on negativity.

No wonder voters don’t engage with that messaging when it’s pretty apparent that even the most enthusiastic progressive barely gets out of bed to advocate for anything other than the new outrage of the day. And I’m not just pointing fingers here - I am definitely guilty of this myself.

IS THAT HOWARD DEAN WITH A FOLDING CHAIR??!!!

We only get to see John King slowly get drunk on live TV once every few years.

Just stop doing it. You won’t quit until you really want to stop, and then it’s actually kind of easy. You hear this from a lot of people who quit, that all the circumstances and programs and nicotine substitutes are kind of secondary to the mental aspect of it.

It honestly makes me concerned about the broader security risks of using lemmy. There’s a lot of opportunity for them to target users they don’t like by serving them malicious content via lemmy.ml, and they have shown nothing to indicate that they are above this kind of thing imo.

The best reason to use MWoG is how much its existence upsets the tankies. Dessalines in particular is obviosly extremely fragile.
