So what's up with "not gonna lie"? I've been hearing it for over a decade, and I hear it from known liars, people I trust, and all the shades of in-between. This is the first time I've seen it on Lemmy.

If someone I trust says it, I trust them less.

If a liar says it, I know they're about to lie. It's the "I'm not racist but" of liars.

I worked with a woman for years that said "not gonna lie" roughly 30 times a day. I liked her, I just hated that so I could be biased.

I realize this is completely derailing the post but do you have any insight on this phrase?

Any suggestions on what I can do with a 12 year old account? I tried using it for the first time in two years to hype local protests.

I am permanently banned from r/politics

Dihydrogen monoxide?

It's septic tank not sceptic. I try not to be a dick but you wrote it so many times.

Everybody is missing half the facts here. The audit is of the Treasury system, not DOGE.

Multiparty democracy would be fantastic but that's a goal if we make it through this crisis. A more realistic (yet still fanciful) plan would be to destroy the Democratic party and create something new from the ashes. First past the post is here to stay for a long time.

I feel this way about Barron Trump every time I see him. He's barely got any chance of leading a decent, moral life. I guarantee mental health issues have already begun to manifest. For fuck's sake his dad named the kid after his alter ego, John Barron.

And "smart" people that make good money always get out of it. Leaving the jury pool in a sorry state. I've even heard it said that if you can't get out of jury duty, you're an idiot. Fuck Americans.

There is another solution. When they call in the military, and they will, those people swore an oath to the constitution and are required to refuse an illegal order.

This is incorrect. Source: do it all the time for work.

We are still using VGA on current gen installations for the primary display on the most expensive patient monitoring system products in the world. If there's a second display it gets displayport. 1080p is still the max resolution.

That's what that means, yes. Worked for me though.

He's not fucking rich! A few million dollars is not rich in the USA in 2025. How can you be this ignorant?

I'm never going to have a few million dollars, but just because I am lower class doesn't mean it's not possible without exploiting others!

And they were so close to tipping into fascism under Bolsonaro. The opposition ran a leftist candidate and it worked! Imagine that.

Brazil is not the USA obviously but there might still be lessons to learn.

My landlord offered to sell me the house I rent for $67k. It extremely small and needs probably 40k in repairs to even make it safe to live in. This is in one of the lowest cost of living areas of the country. You can't make good money here unless you travel for work or have advanced degrees or certifications AND/OR know the right people

Why even bring gender or race into it? Harris would have been better for the Palestinians. Not great, not good, not even mediocre, but better than what we got.

.world got it's act together and stopped censoring Luigi stuff after a few days.

But know he owns businesses like Papa John's, which works hard at exploiting workers for their wealth.

Trump and Elon are going to crash the economy. I know the stock market is actually based on rich people vibes, but I can't see it not tanking at some point, quite possibly soon. I took all the money I had saved for a down payment on a house out of the market on Tuesday.
