People are stupid. They like Leftist policies, but as soon as a Leftist says them, they hate it.

Maybe - and yeah this is fucking WILD but hear me out - maybe Leftism just isn’t as popular as you think it is?

That’s not being rigged, it’s a Democratic Party election. No shit someone from outside the party will have less influence.

The stupid ass Russian propaganda that you people swallowed afterwards turned you into a generation of non voters.

DWS would have ratfucked it

Conspiracy theorists are mentally ill.

Dude, I literally voted in the primary. What the fuck are you talking about?

That’s accurate

Tendency to want to get in the weeds and do the work. The real job of an exec is managing people, and anything that distracts from that make the company worse.

For example, I knew a founder who skipped a meeting with potential investors because there was a bug he was figuring out. He fixed the problem, and he did it better than any other employees could have, but that’s not where he was needed.

Every exec I’ve known was either a good people manager, a founding member, has asaloads of money, or some combination thereof.

Some of them were geniuses, but that actually made them worse at their jobs.

Ok now it’s a trolley problem, except instead of a trolley it’s a US presidential election, and instead of pulling a lever you vote

I’ve been asking for a personal finance community for a while. The only US-based one I’ve found is on .ml, which…ew. I haven’t made one because I do not have the time to mod a big, popular sub like that one will hopefully become.

Buuuuut I got tired of waiting for someone else to do it so I made it: https://lemmy.world/c/personalfinance_us@fedia.io

I’m sure it will be a shitshow but at least I tried.

Haha, I got it! It’s not anywhere in the settings at all, lol. Like a hidden option. You have to go to the url “https://fedia.io/d/[instance domain name]”, like “https://fedia.io/d/lemmy.ml”. Then it will give you the ability to block, and that block will be reflected in your settings page.

So I actually forgot that I also made a fedia.io account back when I was trying multiple instances…there were literally like 100 people on fedia.io at the time so I stuck with kbin, but then kbin kinda imploded so I switched to lemmy…

We have the same issue at fedia as lemmy.cafe - single overworked administrator.

I do see comments that say it’s possible to block instances on mbin, but I don’t see any way to do that on fedia.
