What is this, an election for blobfish?
What is this, an election for blobfish?
I do the same, but I have been trying to build the habit of not doing it.
At that point will you admit I’m right?
Nix this part and you’re good, chief.
Worldnews and Politics on Lemmy and Reddit are probably singlehandedly responsible for 20% of the daily AstroTurf® Premiumizzle™ API access.
I subscribed to a couple politics subs yesterday here on Lemmy. I had to unsubscribe this morning.
Hell, even if someone came back and told us, we’d probably just be confused.
I won’t say WW3 is inevitable, but something big is coming. Russia is draining our resources (including mental focus of agents) in Ukraine, Iran and Saudi Arabia are draining our resources via Gaza and the Red Sea, China is stepping up their cyber attacks and North Korea is readily collaborating with all of them. Meanwhile the flames of propaganda are no longer being fanned on Ukraine, but on Israel, one of our most touchy allies.
How likely is China to start a war?

If you register to vote in the new state, as long as you don’t cast a ballot in the old state, you are fine. A number of people are in your situation. You can vote in your “other” state by absentee ballot*, or your “current” state by registering by the deadline defined in your current state. Extensive article about it here.
You are legally allowed to have multiple residences in multiple states. All that matters is you follow the rules, which means not voting more than once, and either registering an absentee ballot in the other state or registering in the new state.
Citizenship is based on country, not state. Unless you left out being a dual national (citizen of another country) I don’t see why you can’t vote.
* Some states have fickle laws about absentee ballots and it may require you to take a day trip on voting day.
And vice versa? I see them both, but Lemmy is more left leaning than reddit, although less political most of the time. Conversations are heating up now because it’s election season in the US. Honest question: when you browse Lemmy do you typically read from your (lemmy.world) instance, or do you read from All instances, or do you have a curated list of subs from different instances? I try to stay off the political subs, and in fact the only reason I posted this article is because someone linked to a lemmy.world politics post and I ventured into the politics sub on lemmy.world and was struck by how fierce the left/right division was. Most of Lemmy doesn’t seem to be like that, a comment here or there sure, but not constant like the politics sub.
You are spot on. I need to disable my notifications on Lemmy or I’m not going to get any work done today.
We need to move past First Past The Post.
They are not mutually exclusive. They idolize Trump, in part, because he is the middle finger to everyone who has made a mockery of their existence.
To them he’s not a man, he is a symbol.
Perhaps not, but January 6 left no doubt about the supporters who remained with him.
I’m not sure about your associates, but about 1/8th of the people I know voted for Trump now claim to have not done so. They have so much shame and regret over it that they lie about ever doing it. Post-2019, most who were big Trump supporters aren’t anymore. There are still a couple doucheknuckles who have firmly twisted themselves inside the asshole of the propaganda well, but they are the loud few.
For this at least, we can be thankful.
Lemmy: where everyone to the left of Biden must be a Russian Chinese Shill bot child, but let’s give actual Trumpists the benefit of the doubt.
You and I have very different Lemmy subscriptions.
Are most of the people who voted for Trump bigoted shitheels? Possibly. Is everyone who voted for Trump in 2016 a bigoted worthless life? Absolutely not. Not even close. He campaigned on a multitude of issues, if you’ll recall. And before that thought enters your head, no, I voted for Sanders in 16 and Biden in 20.
I know it helps to simplify things, but you can do better. Think outside of the Monkeysphere, or whatever you need to call it so you don’t feel like you got the idea from Store Brand Mad Magazine.
I mostly agree with your points, especially about violent and political felonies, but there are a ton of nonviolent felonies (many drug and money-related) that I don’t believe should have your right to participate in society taken away. I agree that it needs an overhaul. The sad thing is that there is a ton of case law that exists about these things, and many of the cases that result in felonies could have been lesser charges, had the defendant been able to afford a lawyer.
Are you firm on the stance that it’s only bigotry, and not, like, I dunno, motions wildly to the article a complex set of multidimensional issues?
What’s the logical fallacy called when you misuse a logical fallacy?
E: “fallacy fallacy” or “argument from fallacy” (also known as: disproof by fallacy, argument to logic, fallacy fallacy, fallacist’s fallacy, bad reasons fallacy [form of])
Description: Concluding that the truth value of an argument is false based on the fact that the argument contains a fallacy.
Good philosophy.stackexchange discussion about it.
Credit to @shalafi@lemmy.world - this applies very well to this comment.
I’m not the commenter but likely a felony. In the US, anyone who is found guilty and charged with a felony has their voting rights and gun ownership rights taken away (I’m not sure if indefinitely, but you can make an appeal on the latter after some time, for sure.)
I had not but that was fantastic, thank you. I shivered a bit at the boob and football ban, remembering when that happened and realizing how old I’m getting. That article topped it off for it, I’m buying a couple of his audiobooks. I was worried when clicking on Jason Pargin brought up David Wong, worried that it was some Cracked ownership fuckery, but I was relieved to know who the author really was, wasn’t lost to time.
I may have! I read it in a comment here a few months ago, so thank you for sharing. The authors ability to see the big picture as it was happening is to be admired. I’ve also experienced both sides so that’s why it resonated with me as well. Growing up in a small farming town of 2k people, to living in New Orleans, and San Diego for a bit, to now living in the largest city of my home state. I get to see the ‘both sides’ aspect of it. I have a lot of conservative friends and liberal friends. My politics are a mishmash of my own, as I get older leaning more conservative in some ways and more liberal in others. This article was a great help in putting many of my conflicting feelings on the division between rural and urban into words. There is so much hate against each ‘team’ and a lot of it is inorganic. I’d like to say that most of it started out inorganic but that’s probably being naive. However as we’ve been through the mainstream internet propaganda machine for 4 cycles now and 2016 was the most blatant, and best work (from a propagandists perspective) so it’s my hope a majority has wised up to the most blatant propaganda. But the realist in me thinks this year may be even more insidious, with even more fake grassroots boots-on-the-ground efforts, and a completely new set of strategies.
Is docker virtualized or otherwise emulating something? It’s just a way to package things, like an installer? Then it’s bare metal.
I had to look this up too, I thought docker containers were virtualized.
That would make sense if the cause is some looping from hanging DNS lookups. Someone should (and likely has) notified the devs about this.

that’s ecstatic
