You conveniently ignored my other point regarding how much of the electorate actually counts, but sure.

He got the popular vote in 2024. Not against Hillary in 2017. That’s my whole point, this whole situation would not even be happening if the presidential election system in the US wasn’t such a mess.

I mean, my parents and their generation can, for the most part. The rest of us… are probably not even making it to retirement lol 🥹

No, they didn’t? Like only 1/3 of the states actually “matter” during an election because of the electoral college, and they are all gerrymandered to shit thanks to Republican redistricting efforts and suppressed via ID laws going all the way back to Reagan, if not earlier.

Voters are a convenient scapegoat, but remember, Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. There shouldn’t even have been a first Trump term in an actual representative democracy, and opposition Dems barely moved the needle to safeguard any future elections from another term of this shit.

Yeah no joke, when No Child Left Behind was implemented by Bush 2, I remember both my parents discussing how it’s gonna lead to a dumber society within a decade or two, in a “Our nursing home is gonna be run by morons LOL” kind of way. I was waaaay too young to actually understand what they were talking about, but damn were they right.

Yeah, sometimes the pedants of Lemmy get a bit grating (I’m guilty of it myself). Most people were able to understand that OP was asking whether smaller or larger internet service providers are easier to use for piracy without detection. Most who didn’t get that context scrolled past.

That being said… OP’s replies are hilarious LMFAO wtf is that shit

Thank you! This was what I was hoping someone would suggest.

That’s just it, I don’t know. And the government is being deliberately vague instead of just saying what they are shipping to Israel, or sending auxiliary weapons that are still being used in direct combat.

I pulled that quote because I want to emphasize that it is not as transparent as your original comment is making it seem.

The exact nature of the goods remains unclear. The ministry’s response lists eight categories, including rockets, torpedoes, warships and naval equipment. But as the exports are not classified as weapons of war and the total value is relatively small, the shipments likely involve accessories or equipment.

I wouldn’t call sending rockets and warships as “no weapons” just because the government says they’re not.

What happened with Firefox?

I think OP meant use Safari with the Apple’s Privacy Relay thing that hides your IP and generalizes location data into a larger area, not just regular “private mode” that Safari has. Too bad it’s subscription only on iCloud+, and who knows if it actually works as well as Apple claims it does.

91 impactful years. I hope to leave quarter of a legacy that she does. Rest in power.

Bro…my weather app is selling my data? 😦

I just wanted up-to-date travel conditions in a convenient widget. My taxes already pay for the meteorology, why do they need to sell my data too??

I got a chance to meet her at Zandvoort right before the 2022 GP (and the ensuing mess that happened if F1 fans remember). She is such a cool lady, and was very easy to talk to regarding the nitty gritty of F1 strat and behind-the-scenes stuff.

Commenting pro-German sentiment with a .ml account is crazy work 💀

My EA internship at one of their Canadian offices was the best experience I’ve had in the gaming industry. I feel for my colleagues there, no doubt the work culture is about to get real toxic for them.

Bro, what the fuck are you even saying anymore.

The ketamine has fried these guys brains beyond belief.

A Japanese company not shying away from fascism?

-surprised Pikachu face-

Oh that’s kind of sad. It must have been pretty convenient to have everyone from the same year legally age up at once, from a bureaucratic standpoint at least.

Thanks for the context!

I went to school with a couple of Korean international students who explained their age hierarchy to me once, but I didn’t really grasp the intricacies of it.

Isn’t this legitimately how Koreans count their age? Like, I think you pop out as a 1 year old according to their age system.
