  • When people talk about joining the Fediverse one of the main reasons mentioned for not staying is that people will jump on them over a tiny mistake. That’s what I saw your comment to be.

    Telling people “don’t ever fucking mention another issue when a women is talking” is stupid. The more comments we get on lemmy the better. The more discussion the better. The medium allows discussion to fork without derailing anything. So if people want to respond to that comment and discuss then nothing is taken away from any of the other comments in this thread and people who don’t care can just minimize that comment and all the rest in that comment thread.

    They were fine to take the pets but they should have been careful not to get bit. They should have informed the person before killing his pet. But you’re right ultimately I don’t have much sympathy for the guy since he had plenty of time to sort this out and not let it get to this point.

    Its an adopted wild animal it needs to be registered and vaccinated that makes sense to me. But yeah it’s insane how poorly they treated the situation. Idk how they can justify the process.

    That was a shit story and that department was 100% out of line. but I don’t think it was the police doing anything but helping a department with a search warrant.

    At first I felt bad then I realized the guy had that squirrel for 7 years and never got a permit or anything. Bro come on how do you not get the paperwork for an animal that you make a living off.




  • FYI Biden never said anything along the lines of what that comment above pins on him. Its exactly why I asked for an example. People will blatantly lie and make shit up because they know most people wont actually go check. This guy said Biden responded to a question in the debate saying “No the economy is doing fine” when that couldnt be further from the truth. Biden highlighted the shit econonmy he was given from trump then the work he has done to improve it then said “But there’s more to be done. There’s more to be done. Working class people are still in trouble.”



  • When I first read this comment I actually believed I had missed where biden said this and I believed you. But then I went back and reread the transcript of the debate. Nowhere does biden say anything remotely close to this.

    Here is Bidens respond when he is asked about the economy:

    Let’s begin the debate. And let’s start with the issue that voters consistently say is their top concern, the economy. President Biden, inflation has slowed, but prices remain high. Since you took office, the price of essentials has increased. For example, a basket of groceries that cost $100 then, now costs more than $12; and typical home prices have jumped more than 30 percent.

    What do you say to voters who feel they are worse off under your presidency than they were under President Trump?

    BIDEN: You have to take a look at what I was left when I became president, what Mr. Trump left me. We had an economy that was in freefall. The pandemic are so badly handled, many people were dying. All he said was, it’s not that serious. Just inject a little bleach in your arm. It’d be all right. The economy collapsed. There were no jobs. Unemployment rate rose to 15 percent. It was terrible. And so, what we had to do is try to put things back together again. That’s exactly what we began to do. We created 15,000 new jobs. We brought on – in a position where we have 800,000 new manufacturing jobs.

    But there’s more to be done. There’s more to be done. Working class people are still in trouble.

    I come from Scranton, Pennsylvania. I come from a household where the kitchen table – if things weren’t able to be met during the month was a problem. Price of eggs, the price of gas, the price of housing, the price of a whole range of things. That’s why I’m working so hard to make sure I deal with those problems. And we’re going to make sure that we reduce the price of housing. We’re going to make sure we build 2 million new units. We’re going to make sure we cap rents, so corporate greed can’t take over.

    The combination of what I was left and then corporate greed are the reason why we’re in this problem right now. In addition to that, we’re in a situation where if you had – take a look at all that was done in his administration, he didn’t do much at all. By the time he left, there’s – things had been in chaos. There was (ph) literally chaos. And so, we put things back together. We created, as I said, those (ph) jobs. We made sure we had a situation where we now – we brought down the price of prescription drugs, which is a major issue for many people, to $15 for – for an insulin shot, as opposed to $400. No senior has to pay more than $200 for any drug – all the drugs they (inaudible) beginning next year.

    And the situation is making – and we’re going to make that available to everybody, to all Americans. So we’re working to bring down the prices around the kitchen table. And that’s what we’re going to get done.

    TAPPER: Thank you.
