esprit de corps

I am literally shocked that this stupid embarrassment of a human-like bacteria actually knows what "esprit de corps" means.

Reddit is the most new-user-unfriendly site I have ever been to. You've got to farm an unknown amount of karma before you can post or comment in subreddits. There's a reason I'm at Lemmy now. Fuck Reddit. (Also, 4chan is a toilet. The occasional nuggets of good stuff aren't worth trawling through pages of shitposts for.)

[Speculative] What will the Dems do with a future win? (lemmy.world)
 

Assumption: There is another federal US election. Assumption: That election is legitimate. Assumption: The Democrats win that legitimate US election.

So with those assumptions in mind, what do you think that the Democrats would do with their new-found power? Just repeal any/all executive orders and legislation that got passed during Trump’s reign of weirdness (the sledgehammer approach)? Identify and reverse the worst specific transgressions of the current administration (the scalpel approach)? Keep everything because it benefits their corporate "sponsors" but act all righteous? Something else?

And what would happen with the ~~Schutzstaffel~~ Immigration department, DOGE etc?

Do cops give out traffic warnings any more? in c/australia@lemmy.world

I'm trying to have a balanced view, and hear a different side of the story, however, I entirely agree with you.

Do cops give out traffic warnings any more? (lemmy.world)
 

I have noticed that over the last 20 years or so, the idea of the police giving warnings ("you're going slightly faster than the speed limit, but I don't want to give you a ticket for 5kph over" sort of thing) just doesn't happen. Is it just me, or are there still warnings given for minor traffic errors?

[Note: not serious infringements, and no I am not trying to get out of a fine I've been given. This is just a question.]

How thoughtful of them! in c/microblogmemes@lemmy.world

I initially thought it was a treat (like some sort of jellied lolly inside or something). However, the word "treat" could be used in a verb sense, as in "to treat". It is 100% not clear though.
