Death must need corrective lenses or something. Let's get him to the optometrist.

I feel like everyone has forgotten who Trump was in the 80s-2000s. He was a laughing stock, late night show fodder. The only reason we heard his name was in ridicule. FFS, he came out with the Trump board game! Whole country was laughing our asses off!

People watched The Apprentice because he was an over-the-top asshole, a ridiculous clown. Then, after 8 years of Obama, he said out loud, "Maybe we should do something about these brown people." Overnight hero.

Want to see history being made? Watch Obama publicly humiliate the man, watch him seethe. And that's how we got President Trump!

(I'm always surprised this never comes up. This was a defining point in American history.)

JFC, just saw Obama's last White House Corespondents Dinner. OUCH. Hits Trump right out the gate, and prophetic to boot.

... [sigh] thanks, Obama.

The Washington Post published an op-ed 9 years ago (Jesus, it's been that long?) suggesting that Trump launched his political career out of spite after being laughed at during the 2011 correspondence dinner.

I have zero doubt on this. For more evidence, see how he attempted to dismantle anything Obama did.

Ducker knows about revenge.

Holy shit, you mean Meta Ai just kinda sits there and is like: "Want me to use excessive processing power to tell you how it happened?"

Damn, I await the day when I can finally ditch whatsapp :')

[–] ksigley@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Signal. I've never looked back.

[–] SnekZone@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I already do use Signal with friends that have it, and I plan to stop using whatsapp for chatting with the other ones, if the entire Ad thing happens. But there just are groups, that I cant imagine will make the switch, and sadly I need those :/

Like removing a bandaid. Hard and fast. (Just make sure the wound had healed first).

[–] SnekZone@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 hours ago

How do I know it healed?

Today is that day

One less social security check for SSA to pay out.

Cheers!

I think your instance might be a tad behind on federation, I had fixed it like within a minute after posting lol

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I'm pretty sure edits take a lot longer to federate, it's still wonky on my end. Federation is still better!

They say celebrity deaths come in 3s, still one more to go.

Unfortunately, Chuck Mangione was the third :(
