This seemingly simple thing enrages me on a daily basis.
How difficult can it fucking be to write some damn code to omit “the” from sorting if it is the first word of a title? JFC
If “the” appears first, then “ignore” must surely be a thing, right??
Goddamn …. That is a thing of horrific beauty. I saved it immediately.

Gismonda@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Rep. Gerry Connolly, top Democrat on House Oversight Committee, dies at 756·2 months agoIn the case of many GenX folks: “our turn” will never arrive. The Boomers refused to fucking retire and make room for us, and younger generations conflate us with Boomers because “old is old”.
Meanwhile we are working our asses off helping our elderly parents navigate an increasingly hostile health system (yay, capitalism) while giving our adult children a place to live or money to survive an increasingly impossibly expensive society. Can’t afford to save for retirement either.
“Hooray”
(fyi - I also think that term limits are the way to go here - finish your terms, then gtfo. None of this waiting around for 20 years for “my turn” and certainly none of that “just wheel the old corpse in and tell her how to vote” bullshit either)

And if so, that’s a double “fuck you” to Joe and everyone on his staff trying to keep this shit under wraps.
He should have just resigned the goddamn Presidency when he was first diagnosed JFC
Infidelity is somewhat common but I would say it’s not “normal” at all to openly discuss and laugh about it at dinner with a bunch of people that you haven’t seen for years.
Seriously- wtf is wrong with these people? That one person sounds especially horrible.
Also - don’t go to any more reunions. I’ve managed to avoid 40 years of that shit and I like to believe that I’m happier for it!

Gismonda@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•The Justice Department ended a decades-old school desegregation order. Others are expected to fall29·2 months agoThinking back on how long and hard FWISD fought against desegregation, and the stupid “malicious compliance” games they would play to follow it when forced by the Federal Government - this is exactly what it all boils down to.
These assholes are angry that they’ve been forced to share “their” public spaces with black folks, and they have tried everything under the Sun for the last 50+ years to undo it.
JFC - of course there is 🤦♀️
