It's only ever been about vibes*, and that's totally good enough for these folks who have made Trump their identity. Trump could come right out and say that he has no plans at all, but that voting for him would make the libs and minorities and LBTQ+ folks upset... and his polling wouldn't change. It's only about the vibes*.
* "Vibes" is used here to mean thinly-veiled racism, sexism and bigotry

But when the hobbits started going "thank ye, grand elf" or something, I was just like... ugh.
Same. I had flashbacks to essentially the same scene from Solo: A Star Wars Story and almost got up and walked out of my own house.

Question for the folks in the gray area... Are you all referring to all brands and flavors of carbonated soft drinks as 'Coke,' or has Coca-Cola beat out all competitors there, or how does that work?

I got a TCL with Google TV earlier this year (the same model was available from both Best Buy and Wal-Mart), can confirm that I didn't have to sign into anything or even connect it to the net to use the coax or HDMI ports. Also it remembers the last used connection, so I don't even have to skip past the Google TV stuff when I turn it on.

Alternative headline: "This Just In: The Youth Swipe (and Skew Politically) Left, But Will They Pokemon-Go To The Polls?"
According to the study in the article, maybe not? While 43% of those surveyed would feel negatively if their potential hookup was voting Trump, 40% wouldn't care; and 65% don't even give a shit if their next date plans to sit out the next election.

Right? I hate that phrase as it's used here. How are we supposed to move on when national traumas are left unresolved?

The day after Trump loses:
- PatriotAddictDeals.com closes shop
- PatriotAddictBargains.net opens for business
- PatriotAddictBargains sales rep: "Sorry, sir, we are a completely different company in a very real and legally-binding sense, and cannot honor a refund for your Trump NFT Ninja Sword. We can, however, offer you a limited-time 10% off coupon for this handsome Trump Ninja Sword display case."

One step closer to the Fallout games becoming reality, which is at least potentially cool in some ways.

But we're not talking about MAGA as a group, we're talking about people, without any regard for their political affiliation: Natural disasters aren't checking people's voter registration.
Only about 39% of active Florida voters are registered Republican (sure, some are NPA and vote Republican), but there's at least 29% of us who are registered Democrat and voting in every local and federal election, but here we are anyway.

If you feel the urge to argue for collective punishment just shut the fuck up.
I started writing up this lengthy comment about how this article isn't even about people displaced by the storms so much as those who were already homeless before, and how only ~39% of Florida voters are registered Republican, and even then we're talking about whole families and single mothers here, and about government corruption and voter disenfranchisement, but... You said it all, and much more succinctly. Thank you!

It's wild seeing a message of intelligence, empathy and compassion getting downvoted, while several other messages condemning all religious folks everywhere get solidly positive responses. I'm strongly atheist myself, but only sith deal in absolutes... Or maybe I'm just fortunate like you, to have met a real variety of people in my life, so I know that there's a possibility that there is more to someone than just what I read about them on the internet. Either way, I like your take and I appreciate that you voiced it here.

This is refreshing to read.
You said it. I've lived in Florida my whole life, and I'm situated in the current path of Milton (on the east coast). Lemmy, and this thread in particular, is peppered with comments rooting for an entire state's worth of countrymen to die in an imminent natural disaster, or be excommunicated, because some portion of the electorate is too ignorant or brainwashed to vote in their own best interests. It's gross and un-American.

D23 is a biannual event where Disney reveals their plans for parks, media, and other entertainment. D23 2024 took place this past weekend, and there were a lot of big announcements. In an effort to draw contrast with previous D23 events which included some highly speculative plans, Disney Experiences Chairmen Josh D'Amaro prefaced the Imagineering project announcements by saying: > “Everything we share here tonight is in active development. This isn’t Blue Sky. We’re doing all of it.” I haven't found a singular, concise list of all the announcements in one place, so I'm trying to compile it all here. Please chime in if you see I missed anything, or if you're particularly hyped (or particularly *not* hyped) about any of these announcements! # **Parks** - ### Magic Kingdom - **Villians-themed land** to be added, adjacent to Frontierland. There's some [concept art](https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/app/uploads/2024/08/WDW_Villians_Land.jpg) and ["two new attractions planned as well as dining, shopping and more."](https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/disney-experiences-unprecedented-expansions-parks-resorts-d23/) - **Two *Cars* attractions** to be added in Frontierland. There's some [concept art](https://disneyparksblog.com/app/uploads/2024/08/WDW_Aerial_MK.jpg) for that as well. Not a mirror of the existing Cars Land or Radiator Springs Racers, but similar in concept to the latter. The concept art seems to indicate that this attraction will entirely replace the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island attractions. - **Disney Starlight**, a new night-time parade, premiers Summer of 2025. - ### Animal Kingdom - **Tropical Americas Land** to replace Dinoland USA ([concept art](https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/app/uploads/2024/08/WDW_Tropical-Americas_Aerial.jpg) here), set to open in 2027, with at least two new attractions planned: - **An Indiana Jones ride**, which will replace the Dinosaur ride. Seems to re-use the existing ride vehicles and looks similar to Indiana Jones Adventure, but "will be an all-new adventure, unlike any of the existing Indy attractions around the world." - **An Encanto dark-ride** that "takes place inside Casita on the day after young Antonio receives his gift of communicating with animals." - ### Hollywood Studios - **Monsters, Inc Land** to be added, which will feature "the first suspended coaster ever in a Disney Park." - Smuggler's Run to be updated, new mission featuring The Mandolorian and Grogu to be added in 2026.

Those attractions are: - **Avengers Infinity Defense**, which resembles Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, but for Marvel Comics Universe locales. - **Stark Flight Lab**, which resembles the mechanics of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey at Universal, but with two people per ride vehicle. - **Avatar Land** to be added, themed after the second film "as well as upcoming films." - **A Coco ride**, which ["will draw inspiration for the attraction from beloved classics, like Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean."](https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/coco-ride-announced-california-adventure/) - ### Disney Adventure World - Formerly Walt Disney Studios Park, the second Disney park in Paris, there's a big overhaul project here to re-theme 90% of the park.

A very candid look at the development of the "BDX Droids" that were play-tested at Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland late last year. Thought it was really interesting and fun!
