Whoopi gave her full fake fainting when Dyson made the comments. It was on the View (which she is a host of).

It was an "Oh he said it!" fake faint, not a "you shouldn't say that sort of thing" faint.

Edit: sorry the eating ass part, that was how Harris trounced Trump in the debate.

Its just your standard rolled oats with the other goodies and your preferred liquid stuck in a jar overnight, ready to go right out of the fridge in the morning.

Personal favorite is cinnamon roll flavored! There are some great recipes out there.

Several decades of phone technology as it developed...

Edit: and why are you just down voting everyone replying providing you with info?

That's not really "YouTube drama" though. That's international news regarding Russian disinformation campaigns.

Slightly different subject than "Ticklepig beef with Bone Destroyer" or whatever.

85mm is the standard. If you've got a crop sensor, maybe a 50mm gets used. That's your typical portrait stuff.

Some of the better creative photographers will use anything, I've even seen some gorgeous shots with a 14mm, but that sort of fish eye is not your typical portrait look. Usually for something like incorporating more of the landscape/room into the portrait, and less of the person.

Then you've got those really tight shots, maybe ones that dont even show the whole face, those can be done on anything 200mm and up.

Personally I like 85mm-105mm for more studio standard shots, and then activity based for the rest.

Note: I'm not a pro, I'm a guy-with-a-camera. Who has spent way too much money historically on lenses, and now enjoys adapters for old lenses on new camera bodies, for very fun shots.

it feels like when Debian had a website in 2015 that looked like 1997

As a Debian user... Its the same in 2024.

Robert Picardo is an absolute treasure.

An got the rail workers a 14% immediate pay raise, an additional 25% over 5 years, a PTO day, and in the followup as he promised, an additional 4 sicks days and 3 convertible.

Considering the campaigns response, I think they are smart enough to see it for what it is.

Twice as long as the homeless man, yes.

The difference in dollars and impact though, and considering who turned themselves in... It's still an egregious sentence for $100.

So kind of like any T-shirt, sweatshirt, or a scarf?

Local elections.

No one is getting a 3rd party candidate in the Presidential office today. Full stop, totally ridiculous idea, an absolute waste of a vote. Yes, a waste. It's a vote that will do nothing but help Trump win.

Meaningful reforms don't happen overnight, don't happen with magical ghost candidates that don't exist, or by "showing the Democrats you aren't happy by voting against them".

Meaningful reforms take time. Look at marijuana legislation. Incredibly popular support for, at a bare minimum, medical uses. We are talking nearly 50 years of fighting at a federal level, but local compassionate use has been around since the 1970s, despite efforts at the federal level to constantly make all marijuana use criminal. By the 90s there were several states with compassionate use ballot initiatives (though it took until 2000 for a state to legalize it through the legislature - Hawaii).

Despite democrats that were out there against use of cannabis for medical purposes, and the many, many, many Republican administrations who put up as many barriers as possible, we are now trending toward full legalization.

Should everyone have just given up because only some supported legalization, even medical-only? And let it be banned outright?

It's the same with climate change legislation, it doesn't have to be all at the federal level. And abortion access, protections for minorities, police reform, and so on, and so on.

So let's be clear about one thing. The choices this election are Trump and Biden. You're not getting any others.

You can vote for Biden with a chance for the future, or Trump where the platform explicitly goes against these concerns to the extreme, and outright going full throttle for fascism.

You want to signal to the Democrats? The only signal you'll be sending anyone is that fascism is A-OK, because you're not getting another chance at democracy.

So you send that signal locally. The other option is, for lack of any better way for me to phrase this right now, the absolute stupidest fucking idea I've ever heard.
