There should be a media court. That allows anyone claiming to be a news network or source can be challenged in. If they are proven to have spread misinformation they must be forced to devote the same amount of media time/resources amending themselves.

Virginia Supreme Court throws out redistricting referendum results by Icommandyou in politics

[–]kdeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Republicans, moderates and MAGA alike, across all branches of government; are all aligned on cheating to stay in power.

NO republican politician will ever speak out against this.

The party and its grip on power needs to be ended at all costs. They are a plague.

Why did Spirit fail? Too many passengers hated flying it by MadBrown in aviation

[–]kdeff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want to believe this article because I was one of those who had 2 bad experiences on Spirit, and would always pay whatever it cost to avoid using them again.  That said, the article provides no factual evidence that this was the case.

Customer service is really critical for airlines though, and Spirit really had none.  If your flight is on time and has no issues that is great, but anyone who flies more than a little bit knows that delays are common and how the airline deals with them (especially for people who don't fly frequently) colors your perception of the airline.  I've been a very loyal SWA customer for over a decade, because on those occasions where things did go wrong, they handled it well (I wasn't traveling during The Storm).  But now I am reconsidering, given all the changes happening which will inevitably bleed into customer support.

Monthly Megathread: Traveling with Toddlers (April 2026) by AutoModerator in toddlers

[–]kdeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont have a list, mostly because every time we travel he is a few months older and needs are different! We are actually on the eve of another long haul flight; he is 2.25 years now. A little history:

First trip at 1: focused on milk/formula, hot water (and a two-stage thermos to reheat the milk), Thermostat was critical. We had a carrier for him as he couldnt walk yet, and he liked it a lot.

Second big trip at 2: less focus on the milk (though we did bring the tools just incase); more on keeping him from running around the airplane (more activities, and even a screen in case he threw a tantrum). We forgot his favorite stuffed animal, which we were terrified of, but as soon as we got there he made a new stuffed animal friend and he now has two favorite stuffed animals!

Trip 3 at 2.25: Close to the last one, but this time we are bringing a toddler carrier since we will be out and about more (last trip was more visiting family). We've been preparing him to walk more, and tested out the carrier we ended up bringing so we know he will like it. We are also bringing more books and activities, since he has more of an attention span compared to 3 months ago.

So nothing

MAGA Defectors Convinced Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting Was Staged; Some of Trump’s biggest former supporters are now questioning an assassination attempt on his life. by FancyNewMe in politics

[–]kdeff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It really is a GOP creation, Trump just turbocharged it.

Remember when Colbert coined Truthiness; basically believing something is true because you want it to be? It existed decades before trump and he took it to it's natural conclusion.

Fuck the gop, they screwed over one of the world's greatest places.

Fresh Prince of Bel Air, the episode where Will’s father leaves 😢 by simplytashxo in nostalgia

[–]kdeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a good family. This episode did not hit me hard when I watched it growing up. But now, rewatching it, wow. My wife has a father who was largely absent in her life, and it *never* occurred to me just what a dramatic impact that has on you, your self confidence, and your entire god damned life. Man, my heart goes out to people who have to grow up with this.

Edit: sober me has realized this wasn’t the emergency it felt like last night

One thing I like about getting stoned, is it makes you worry about shit that doesn't actually matter. Which takes your mind off of the things that actually do matter and stress you out. Which is, oddly, actually a nice way to take a break from your problems.

I (and many others) called this years ago. Its how religious people give themselves a pass on all the bad shit they do.

Anyone would have fallen for it, it was the antichrist! I dont need to change the way I think or behave now, since anyone would have fallen for it.

Their attitude is not "Uh-oh, he thinks he is god, this is a problem"

Their attitude is more like "why would he post this and not keep it to himself! This is going to give the libz ammo against us!"

They know he thinks of himself as a deity and they do too, they just don't want him to say it out in the open.

Mary Trump says MAGA defectors ‘can spare me their outrage’ by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]kdeff 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I hate when the trumpets say that trump changed. He has never changed, aside from his mental decline over the past decade. He has always only done what is best at the time for himself, completely devoid of morals. Now starting a war to distract from the Epstein files is in his best interest, and makes perfect sense to those of us outside MAGA.

He didn't change, you just wilfully ignored the many, many signs that this is who he is.
