It will be really fun if this causes the dem establishment to tear each other apart.

Whatever emerged afterwards would probably be even worse, but it’d be hilarious to watch.

Not sure where you live, but if you don’t live in a swing state, you’re wasting your vote if you DON’T vote third party.

Matching public campaign funds are calculated nationally. If you’re in a solid red/blue state then you’re 100% wasting your vote on a major party, because they opt out of public funds, an your vote isn’t going to change a built-in 10% difference in the tally. But if you vote 3rd party, you’re voting into a national pool that could potentially get that 3rd party automatic ballot access and matching federal funds for campaigning.

So if you’re like the majority of us, in a state that doesn’t matter, then you can just levy the accusation right back at them and ask why they’re wasting their vote.

Reddit atheism was called out at the time for being a veil for Western (and even Christian) chauvinism. It was mainly used as a justification of imperialist wars on Muslim countries.

This critique has born out, as Reddit atheist types (Dawkins, Elon) have since self identified themselves as Christian Chauvinists.

Idk, i use blue blocker but still get channer nword memes in my replies even when i was just posting about something as innocuous as a grocery store chain.

I’ve been spending more time here and tiktok and less there with the aim of eventually being off X (the everything app) entirely. I basically try to only go there to see reactions to breaking stories since other platforms move slower.

Any of the 1:1 twitter clones are too dead to spend much time on, like you scroll down just a bit and it’s 4d old posts. I don’t think we’ll ever get something like twitter back because it was basically an accident.

Hell yeah, proper xwayland scaling, if experimental. The file dialog update looks like a relief too.

Yeah, I didn’t get them either until using one and realizing conceptually they’re more like a trackball.

My dad got covid this summer, it put him in the hospital. He’s out now, but it’s pretty clearly accelerated his other diagnosis.

It sucks so bad that everyone’s acting like nothing’s happening. There’s not even vaccine coverage for the uninsured anymore here, because that would come to close to acknowledging there’s an issue.

I think the Deck’s killer feature is really just having a library already ready to go when you buy it. Compare this to having to rebuy duckhunt wrapped in an emulator again on the Switch, or whatever.

The touchpads are such a nice controller innovation too.
