“The reason that I changed my mind on Donald Trump is actually perfectly highlighted by what’s going on in Springfield,” Vance said. “Because the media and the Kamala Harris campaign, they’ve been calling the residents of Springfield racist, they’ve been lying about them. They’ve been saying that they make up these reports of migrants eating geese, and they completely ignore the public health disaster that is unfolding in Springfield at this very minute. You know who hasn’t ignored it? Donald Trump.”

ho-ly shit. I don't even know how to react anymore.

Twitter allows certain accounts to say racist things without filter. Interesting! by big_slap in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

the way twitter handled this (banning this user) is going to make people spiral and believe this was legitimate, as well. throwing a lot of fuel on the fire, par for the course with twitter under musk leadership, unfortunately

KDE Connect is one of the most useful app on my phone, and I can't believe I went as long as I did without knowing about it

the graph for mice on the left has a break between .10 and .80. see the little squiggly thing? if that break was not there, the mice bar would be wayyyy higher than the other bars.

I don't think it's meant to be misleading.

I wanted to just upvote this and move on, but I feel like that would be a disservice to you because I feel the same way about commenting.

I would say to just ignore the negative comments and continue to post. good people should not tear each other down like you describe. you never truly know who is replying to you, it could be a kid or someone that has some issues that need to be addressed.

I understand its much easier said than done, but training yourself to have thicker skin is like a muscle, just gotta keep going out there and train it lol. good luck!
