I’m seeing this post - 7 hours old, the BBC Report - 9 hours old. This was old news before it even made it to Lemmy…

Idk why I’m going to bat for the dude, because he’s clearly a tool, but my phone probably has a photo of my SO’s ID if you dig hard enough

Woulda been something like a “I’m buying plane tickets for our vacation, what’s your passport no.” kind of situation. Or, SO: “left my wallet, what’s my DL# so I can pay this parking ticket”.

Not certain anything is there, but we’ve been together long enough, I’m not certain it’s not there either.

ETA: Maybe also “we’re going on vacation abroad, State Department recommends keeping a separate copy of our passports in case something happens”

I recognize long term relationship is different from mistress, but still

Lol wut?

Nah, if he does away with elections I’ll mail him a postcard that says “I vote for Jill Stein” - that’ll leave him quivering in his boots and solve everything.

You know who is implementing RCV? Jill Stein.

No she’s not - she’s a physician, not a legislator. She’s not implementing anything except (hopefully) health care for her patients. She’s promising to make RCV a political priority, but even if elected, the president doesn’t write the laws.

And that even if is doing some heavy lifting, because it’s impossible for her to get enough votes (50.01%, because a plurality goes to the legislators to decide) to win.

What she can do, is syphon enough votes from from Harris to hand the country back to Trump (who I promise you will not solve the problem of genocide in Palestine), which is why the RNC and hostile foreign powers love to prop her up

Maybe it does, but not in a “we’re going to fix this” kind of way, but in a “we’re going to hand the keys to the castle over to the self-proclaimed dictator who may try to abolish elections entirely” kind of way.

If that’s what you want, just vote for Trump, don’t play around with this third party BS.

Voting for Jill Stein somehow constitutes a revolution?

It’s not uncommon for some folks to live well past 120, but I hear OP’s uncle is exceptionally spry for an older feller. Almost looks like he hasn’t aged a day in the last 60 years.

And when you’re Intel, those timescales are increased 10x, apparently.

… that they’ve disclosed so far…

I love that the cover image for this article about buying Chinese EVs is a car from a Swedish manufacturer (Polestar, owned by Volvo). Western media really knows jack shit about the Chinese EV market.

Is the “he” here not Netanyahu? If so, you can be certain he does not care about separation of church and state.

Quick Answer

Based on the available information, the “slipping on a banana peel” gag has been a staple of comedy films since the early 20th century. The first known appearance of this gag on the big screen was in the Charlie Chaplin movie “By the Sea”, where Chaplin’s character “The Tramp” tosses a banana peel on the ground and then slips on it later. [1][2]

The banana peel gag was soon adopted by other silent film stars like Buster Keaton, who featured it in his 1928 film “The Cameraman”. [3] The gag continued to be used in comedy films throughout the 20th century, including in the 1926 Harold Lloyd film “For Heaven’s Sake”. [4]

However, the available information does not mention any specific 1980s comedy movies that featured the banana peel gag. The gag seems to have been more prevalent in the silent film era and earlier decades of the 20th century. [1][5]

I personally find it much better than DDG, and only a slight improvement over Brave. DDG’s reliance on Bing leaves me !banging my way out almost half the time.
