Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's always the way. Every single time. I'm beginning to think con voters have some mental deficiency where they literally can't imagine things outside their immediate perception.
“Empathy is for suckers and communists“ <- the conservative ethos in a nutshell.
Science is finding they do indeed likely have lower/under developed empathy capacity.

Wait so republicans fail the Voight-Kampff test?
Stupid upside down turtle
lol wouldn't surprise me. Their NPC talk probably is projection like usual.
Think of how stupid the average conservative is then remember that half of them are stupider than that.
Lack of empathy :/
It's a mixture of that and some kind of sadism. They love to protect power and inflict pain.
Not to be pedantic, but since you're emphasising it: their (they're = they are)
Thanks for the correction
Edit - I only dislike pedantry when it's repeatedly thrown in my face by the ex (/s), you weren't being pedantic IMO
The 'edit' button is right there, my dude.
When I edit something, I make it separate from the main entry. Not sure when I picked that habit up, but there you go. Does the entry say "edited" on it, or does it look like a normal message? It shows as "edited" on my side.
No, it doesn't show "edited" on our end. From what I can tell, the only way for other users to see the edit is to type out the edit and explanation as you did in your previous comment
Edits are indicated by a pencil icon (or asterisk plus a parentheses with the edit timestamp if you're using old.lemmy) next to the username. The pencil icon timestamp only shows the edited timestamp unless you mouseover it.
I'm on Connect on mobile and the pencil icon or asterisk/timestamp don't show. It's cool that they do on desktop, though
Ah interesting. Various marks for edits show up in most clients I've tried (sync, jerboa, thunder)
Hey! Thanks for the answer sister, I no further need to bother
I thought it was being used sarcastically.
"I never thought it would be MY kids traumatised in a mass shooting in school." - Conservatives.
So true. How fuckin brain dead do you have to be to actually have this take in life? I can't even grasp it.
The bit that gets me is that these new found campaigners for (weak-ass) gun control honestly thought they were going to get something from the Republican legislators they spoke to. Which part of not caring until it was your own kids made you think other Republicans were going to give a shit?
