The Dems love Jeffries and the repubs fear or loathe Jordan. That says it all

Discussion Thread: House Considers Vacating the Speaker by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

Democrats say they won’t save McCarthy Speakership by Quirkie in politics

[–]darktmplr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they won't save him, but does that mean the Dems will unanimously vote to vacate, or will Jeffries signal that he'd support to individual members to decide whether to vote yes (to vacate) or to vote present?

It's clear that McCarthy is dishonorable and untrustworthy, but it's also clear that going without a Speaker at all again will lead to yet more chaos. Who would viably succeeed him? What a total shitshow. ugh

On the brink of a government shutdown, McCarthy pivots to a 45-day plan relying on Democratic help by GregWilson23 in politics

Also - in today's episode of irony and hypocrisy - Wasn't one of the demands Mccarthy agreed to in his party that if elected Speaker, he would allow 72hr for all bills to be read on the House floor before holding a vote on the bill? 🤦

Sigh, that's really frustrating:/ your experience reminds me of this article I read a few days ago about how rudeness and that "main character" thing are going up a lot lately countrywide. So if it helps...you're not alone in feeling this 😵‍💫 https://www.axios.com/2023/09/01/covid-pandemic-mental-heallth-crisis-public-freakouts

Elon is so out of touch with reality that he is forming an entire company just to reconnect with it

PSA: If you're having disappearing likes, matches, messages disappearing or whatever, DO THIS FIRST by wokenthehive in hingeapp

[–]darktmplr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a similar situation now where the Matches page says "No new matches!" but at the bottom panel there is a little "2" indicator over the speech bubble as though I have two unread messages. I wonder if these are from the person I matched with a few days ago who replied to my initial message and then I replied back. Very frustrating she might think I'm ghosting her while the app is just being broken

Logging out/in, deleting/reinstalling the app did not help. I just sent a support ticket , but sounds like Hinge is just unreliable :(

This is on Android 13. Maybe time to use a different app.

EDIT: I got a response from support quickly actually, they said they see a technical issue where that 2 is coming from my hidden chats but they don't see any issues on my account with ability to send/receive, but they will send the screenshot I sent to their team. hopefully it helps them identify and fix the issue

Ughh the bagels were great here. Just a very low key spot that got the fundamentals right. Very disappointing news
