Crisps@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Wavering Black voters: Biden is flawed — and Trump is unacceptable23·1 year agoIt depends where you live. If you are in a deep red state, it doesn’t matter. If we went blue enough for my vote to swing the state, Biden has already won anyway. I feel safe voting 3rd party and not giving him a symbolic popular vote.
With no electoral college, down ballot matters. Vote blue on those!
Make sure you vote though!
Crisps@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that gets a lot of hate for absolutely no reason?6·1 year agoIf it were codified like this as law everywhere, people would accept it better. The rule breaking is what pisses a lot of people off. It would be much more predictable and safer too.
Crisps@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that gets a lot of hate for absolutely no reason?4·1 year agoOur road system, retirement benefits, health system (except USA), public school system, national parks are all socialist.
Crisps@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Looking to build my first PC in almost 30 years; What should I be on the look out for?English15·1 year agoThere is no need for a separate sound card now, it is built in.
Crisps@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Swalwell on Biden age: ‘I’ll take the guy who’s 81 over the guy who has 91 felony counts’1·1 year agoBiden isn’t just old, he’s very old. Have you ever spent much time around an 85 year old? They may not be totally senile, but they are almost all losing language skills by this point. Pretty important skill for someone who speaks on behalf of their country.
Crisps@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's an aspect of your job that college didn't prepare you for?471·2 years agoHow long it lasts. Year after year after year. No end in sight. No summer, winter or spring breaks. One vacation a year and a few sick days.
Crisps@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your favorite Enigma / Riddle / Sentence Puzzle?1·2 years agoAlice, the secretary?
Crisps@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is an absurdity that has been normalized by society?281·2 years agoChristmas.
An environmental impact study on this would be interesting.
Crisps@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is an absurdity that has been normalized by society?6·2 years agoIf you fine people based on their bank balance, you end up fining careful savers, not rich people with shell companies.
The best way to achieve the same goal for the more major fines is with custodial sentences. E.G. 2 weeks for drinking and driving.
And for the more minor traffic stuff with points and bans. If every one has the same number of points and gets the same ban, it is fairer

Crisps@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?English6·2 years agoI have tried these. They are expensive to run as you need to burn through a tank of propane each month. They do catch some mosquitoes, but they make little overall difference.
Still looking for a working solution.
Crisps@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that people think is dangerous but in reality is completely harmless?English8·2 years agoNot disagreeing. We need more nuclear. Just saying people are scared of a major event than the constant low grade radiation.
Crisps@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that people think is dangerous but in reality is completely harmless?English11·2 years agoWhile true when everything works, people don’t want to live near a nuclear power plant because sometimes there are accidents. They are rare, but severe when they happen. Also because nobody wants to live in sight of one, it affects how easy it is to sell land and property.
AOC would be a better VP pick than top of the ticket. Let her ascend later when she is more experienced.
