We can make this work! :D

I unironically kinda wish that would take off. The concept of a super simple bridge language is great.
Yaaaaaaaay! (:
.../wrists
I didn't say it was a bad system or that we need to change it: I said I hate it.
Couple common ones... there are hundreds of these.
Acronym - Full Latin - English
PRN - pro re nata - as needed
NPO - nil per os - nothing my mouth
AC - ante cibum - before eating
OD - oculus dexter - right eye
OS - oculus sinister - left eye
Q8H - quaque octava hora - every 8 hours
This is medicine in a nutshell too. And not just abbreviations, but acronyms... for words in a language that no one uses. I hate it.
Never forget, the cruelty is the point.
They don't give a fuck about babies or fetuses. Never have. They just want to hurt women.
I'd vote for a bag of Biden's toenail clippings over Trump. Stay in the race or leave, I don't really care, so long as they've got a winning strategy to follow. Trump has done enough damage to this country - let's not give him another round.
I wish only the best to not-Trump, whoever that ends up being.
Could Biden use that ruling to just stay president, but leave them the opportunity to repeal it? Illustrate how dangerous it is while still giving the system a chance to self-correct.
Elites
Parasites.
The only things elite about them are greed and malice.
Fairly successful strategy I've been using lately is to out-crazy the red team and feed em their own medicine. No one here needs to be told the libertarian party is just Far Right Lite™, but do you know their selling points? Cuz there is no chance in HELL I'll be able to convince a Trumpanzee to vote for Biden, but I have been able to steer a handful of votes away from Trump and toward Chase Oliver - usually goes down like this: MAGAt will open the conversation by bitching about someone on the blue team - such as Hillary and her emails. I'll AGREE with them, but lump her and Trump into the same category... "Idk how they get away with sending classified data on a private email server or printing it out and hauling boxes of it to their private residence. If I did hundredth of the crime Trump or Hillary committed, I'd spend the rest of my life in jail!". Bitch about how both parties are doing the bare minimum just to stay in power etc; then start pitching 3rd as an alternative option.
'Both sides' em, and change their vote to "not trump" by pitching whichever 3rd most closely aligns with their impressionability (which is pretty much always the LP). Put the spoiler effect to good use.
And be weary of folks doing the same to you, especially here on Lemmy with all the 'genocide Joe' shit or encouraging apathy because of the shit debate.
Yea once you know why it looks off, it switches from uncanny to plain ol creepy. At least, subjectively for me it does - idk if that uncertainty is definitively a criteria for uncanny valley, but that's what makes it a distinct experience from creepiness imo.
