Hi!👋 me again, don’t forget to:

Print photos of different couches or dolphins and mail them to any or all of these locations:

https://www.vance.senate.gov/office-locations/

Don’t forget to add little love notes. e.g., “Thinking of you 💋”

And, remember kids, drink your Ovaltine!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

We’ll never know until we get the video!

I’ve had it up to here with people saying JD Vance had sex with a couch. How many times do I have to say there’s no evidence JD Vance had sex with a couch before people stop saying JD Vance had sex with a couch? Liberals must be pretty desperate to make up that JD Vance had sex with a couch. The story that on March 17, 2011 JD Vance was banned from a Cleveland area IKEA after so thoroughly deflowering a KIVIK Sofa Chaise that it had to be removed as a biohazard due to the various fluids in and around it, causing the night manager to not only quit but need intensive therapy is beyond the pale. Who would believe this? There is sworn. court. testimony. that JD Vance has not made bare skin contact with a couch within the past 5 years. That’s a fact. Look it up. The idea that this is because JD Vance cannot contain his overwhelming sexual urges in the presence of soft furniture is reckless conjecture. Calling JD Vance a couchfucker is slander and you need to take it back.

The Left™ will do anything to avoid talking about the real issues in this campaign, like the fact that Kamala Harris laughs sometimes.

"JD Vance's couch tape" to the tune of "Hunter Biden's laptop"

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

For research guys, it's for research.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

Purely for "research," right Fox?

[–] [email protected] 148 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

There's a lot to unpack in that statement:

“We don’t buy the hoaxes and believe the hype anymore,” he continued.

Yeah, Fox sells them, not buys them. Get your facts straight.

“Our eyes are wide open.

Uh-oh. That sounds pretty woke to me.

And if you’re gonna accuse someone of having sex with a couch, you better have video.” He then brought on a guest to discuss whether Harris has a chance at winning the election in November without further explaining his request for the video.

Yes, because you want to see it....for totally normal reasons.

"Absolutely revolting claim! And where's the proof? The video? I need to see that horrible, disgusting video before I believe these claims! Show me-I mean us the video!"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I mean… they can’t possibly miss the joke, can they? It fucking racks my brain, the density of these fuckwits sometimes. The whole reason this is still a thing is because they’re saying shit like, ‘If you accuse some of X, you’d better have proof.’

Does word weird equal cringe?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

It can mean cringe but it's more similar to the word strange and can be good or bad depending on context. Someone who learns Elvish and wears clothes from the 1920s could be considered weird but interesting. Republicans are the kind of weird that makes you feel uncomfortable around them. "Why are they so concerned about what my children are wearing?" Kind of weird

If one of my kids started speaking knife ear I’d be concern too.

JD Vance is too much of a coward to release the couch sex tape

#releasethecouchtape

[–] [email protected] 49 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Why are they not releasing the couch sex tape? What are they hiding? Was there a loveseat involved?

[–] [email protected] 53 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Because the couch was underage.

I like the idea of this bot but could you make the text a bit smaller? It's pretty obnoxious ATM.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (3 children)

This is what I see:

Maybe the summary tags aren't working on your app? But I guess the "Thanks to..." section could be moved to the footer, too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

It is particularly obnoxious on Sync for Lemmy...

edit:fixing image link

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It looks pretty well considered in Voyager.

Most app clients don't fully support formatting yet. I'm on Boost and neither spoilers nor superscript work.

I don't know the numbers on each app vs web clients, but I suspect apps are a significant portion. Ignoring their limitations is ignoring a good portion of your users.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Mlem shows the full thing with giant header text.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Does mlem show other formatting like ~~strikethrough~~ or ^superscript^ ?
