R/place is only remotely possible through the act of brigading

Why are you ok with making it difficult for those in underserved areas to vote? A lot of people don't have cars and don't live near a voting center. A lot of those people can't afford to take the day off to vote. I'm curious why you think they shouldn't have an easy way to participate in our democracy

Marjorie Taylor Green, sometimes called MTG, is a representation and a result of the dumbing down of united state politics. She's a member of the far right party in this country and pushes conspiracies, racism, bigotry and hatred. She's possibly the least intelligent person to ever hold federal office in this country.

Hunter Biden is the son of the current US president. He holds no office and has nothing to do with politics, but because he's the president's son, the far right politicians spend a large amount of time trying to find anything they can to make him look bad. He's had problems with drugs and the law in the past so there's a decent amount there for them to attack.

I'm still pretty new here so i don't know how that works, but I just want to see the random crazy person or fight video between memes and news stories

Surely they know it's a joke

Oh shit, I was thinking there was no way that hundreds of thousands of people did from drowning every year, but they actually do.

WHO estimates that every year over 200k people die from drowning

Yes, it is important that women are enjoying a traditionally male hobby more and more. Does that bother you?

Report you to whom? Are you on drugs right now?

Kill is the main command and 9 is the specific signal. Google SIGKILL

at least with cable you can bundle channels

For about the same price as it currently costs to bundle all the major streaming platforms. Plus, cable never had anything near the amount of content we have now on streaming.

I think people who compare cable to streaming don't remember what it was like before streaming

I'm confused about how it kills hundreds of thousands of people per year. How, by drowning?

I think you make a good point that over reacting to perceived offenses can make the "victims" look bad, but the idea that only those who identify as the victim have any right to speak on it is nonsense. I'm a white person but I'm going to call out racism when I see it because to my view of a just society, that racism cannot be allowed. I have nobody in my life that is trans and the current right wing war against trans people doesn't affect me at all, but I'm still going to be an ally and stand against it.

And honestly anyone who blamed trans people for the harry potter game backlash likely wasn't a fan of trans people to begin with. I wouldn't worry so much about their opinion.

I'd happily pay for it. Fuck, I'd subscribe

I saw a meme on here recently that said "the difference between me and God is if I saw a child getting raped, I'd step in and save it"

I was worried about DeSantis at first, but he's a value brand Trump. He doesn't get people riled up like Trump does. I'm still worried about Trump though. I drink think he could win again but I didn't think he'd win in 2016

Steve is the HR manager

Birth is the ultimate abortion

make an alt account

But then nobody would know it's him and the tweets would get no attention

Imagine bitching about a reddit discussion on a reddit community.

You should unsubscribe from the reddit community. Let it go brother, you're in a better place

The only mod is asking people to submit comments with why they want to be a mod there including their experience. The answers are mostly hilarious and sarcastic. Some are just chat gpt responses. My favorite is this:

I'd love to be a mod of MFA, I consider myself as a connoisseur of high fashion as I only purchase top brands such as Kirkland, Sketchers, and Uggs. The last few years this sub has been plagued with low effort and low-class fashion sense, I believe I was put on this earth to turn this place around. I'd like to thank u/spez for getting rid of these scrubs who let these cretins roam free posting their terrible fits.

I was so stoked that thinking that maybe Joey wouldn't go down, it's been my most used phone app for years. Trying to force myself to love lemmy, just wish there was an app that allows swiping from one post to the next

This is a wildly incorrect assessment of the situation. If you think AI is going anywhere you're delusional. The current iteration of ai tools blow any of the tools from just a year ago out of the the water, let alone tools from a decade ago.

I used to fantasize about California joining with Washington and Oregon and splitting off from the rest of the US, but then one day I realized the rest of the US would almost instantly devolve into a dangerous theocracy and go to war with the western states who would be heavily outgunned

I think this comment really understates just how effective Hitler was as a politician and a leader. He tried to forcibly take over the government and it failed. That part any "little Hitler" could do and also likely fail. What set him apart was his charisma and appeal to the downtrodden, not unlike a certain US politician. He was so well loved and respected that he was able to do heinous acts with near universal support. I don't think there are many people in history that can do that sort of thing as effectively as he did

Holy run-on-sentences batman

This one has always been weird for me because I was in the military before female became an incel term and we regularly referred to women as females. Female officer, female berthing, female uniform standards...

I don't think these 2 things are the same. They have a US soldier that voluntarily went to North Korea. Think of how much publicity they can get for that. As long as he follows the rules he will likely be set up nicely

For 1, your statement is just straight up false. People who care about inclusion are not the first to attack people's physical attributes.

For 2, are people losing their civil rights and protections just for having tiny hands or orange skin or bad haircuts? Then it's not the same as race, gender and sexuality is it

Why?

But that wasn't your message in the first comment. Your message was that we're not allowed to bitch about reddit on a reddit community, which you could only post on if you were visiting the reddit community. You don't seem to grasp the irony

Somebody's grumpy.

I think that's really all we can ask for. I already miss some of the subs back on reddit but I'm sure they'll start showing up here eventually

Just for my own sanity, are you just trolling and I'm too thick to catch it, or do you legitimately believe what you're saying?

If people didn't care about reddit then why would they be upset that it's fucking everyone over? A lot of people, myself included, would still be there if Spez wasn't a sack of shit

Oh awesome! I didn't scroll all the way down through the settings I guess. It's definitely a work in progress but it's exactly what I'm looking for one they get it consistent.

I don't think it was some conspiracy to stop 3rd party voters, the fact is Bush won by ~500 votes and nader got almost 100k votes. He wasn't remotely close to a real candidacy, but those 100k voters would have very likely not voted for Bush had nader not been on the ticket.

It's a site that a lot of us have used every day for years and it got yanked out from beneath us. Of course people are going to talk about it for a while

If they're already atheists than they're not religious and the post doesn't apply to them
