Because Donald J Trump is their guy. He might well win.

The world tends to find that having an extraordinarily wealthy parent makes its own luck.

Exactly. Unfortunately "move fast and break things" has some disadvantages when it comes to driving in traffic.

What's some sex ed info you didn't know until embarrasingly late? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] david@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago

At first I read that as an old printer from a school, and thought that was a very weird thing to want, but then I realised you meant a printer that was old school, and it all suddenly made sense to me!

How do you get the dry boogers out if you don’t pick your nose? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] david@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago

Well, perhaps it might be possible to catch some tummy bug from someone else, I don't know, but you inhale the fecal particles when you flush anyway I suppose.

The lid stays down all the time (well, in between use) at our house, with the idea that you minimise the amount of fecal particles floating around your room. I know it doesn't eliminate it, but I want to flush as much as possible of the poo and not inhale it, so I insist on the lid being closed.

I'm not claiming danger, I just don't like the thought.

I wouldn't put toilet paper up my nose - I don't trust other toilet users to not touch the toilet roll and I don't trust the room to not have fecal particles from lidless flushing on things. I don't want tu put someone else's poo up my nose.

I am British and I love this.

Donald Trump fined $5,000 for violating gag order in New York fraud trial and warned twice about imprisonment in c/news@lemmy.world

I know Trump massively overstated his wealth, but fining him $5000 is like fining me £10. He won't even notice it's gone at the end of the month. $5,000, 000 or prison time would be a meaningful punishment.

OK, yes, I think you're right.

Of course, but the far right don't care about facts, they just care about racism.

You're right.

Oh, I thought it was the CEO's online reputation and the fact the people are hearing more and more that their after sales service is shit, eg being charged £17000 for a new motor which is apparently the driver's fault for driving it in the rain. In Scotland.

Apparently the problem has been known for some time:
