What the hell I need to learn to shoot for?
F that! I’m following my dreams

I just read it as supporting third parties. I thought you were going to mention what happens if a third party were to get more votes but not a majority. I actually don’t know. Would there still be a runoff between Dem and Rep or would the third party actually win it? I’d assume theres some rule that the third party has to win a majority or some bs
There’s a link under the post linking to info on the Sri Lanka election.
All good! It’s easy to miss
Interesting. I thought that was just in movies. lol
Ok, yeah I figured the same thing
That seems kinda fucked up. Why would you do something like that?
I mean, I at least get fucking with people for money. Doing it for fun, not so much
Also, anyone know what they meant with this line?
I still loved my life so I didn’t want to use the Google custom search API.
Some people simply don’t know how to be good friends. You really shouldn’t take it personal
I’ve just had to learn my closest friends simply aren’t capable of providing emotional connection like I’d like. I’m working on becoming a better friend to them, meeting them where they are , trying to figure out how to provide for and validate my own emotional needs, so I can eventually work up the courage, or whatever it is I need, to meet friends that are more emotionally mature enough to have the real connections I’m looking for
I once delayed a party where I had tons of family over because my friends hadn’t arrived. They didn’t get there until like 10 or something, after I’d already told them to just fuck off. The thing is, they are my friends and they legit care about me in their own (weird to me) ways. I’ve just come to realize they’ve got legit issues, as I do (part of why we’re drawn to being friends), that they’re working on to varying degrees, and I simply can’t expect more from them than they’re capable of giving
Good luck finding a chill healthy tribe of folks that shares similar values to your own!
Do those goalposts have little feet on them?
“Democrats wouldn’t do this”
Democrats do this
“No, not like that”
Look, I said it in a dumb meme format so you know it’s true
(I appreciate you for posting here, just making fun of you 😊)
You’re definitely not wrong that hurting profits is good leverage. It might actually be the best tool we have
I don’t remember where I heard it recently, but we really need to bring back the slogan “no taxation without representation”
Millennials barely have representation and gen z has maybe one representative. The US was legit founded by mostly young people. It’s nuts to see the contrast to today. It’s not even exaggerating to say this nation hates it’s younger citizens
Edit: grammars
Would that work for literally anything we/nations use government for though?
“The government won’t prevent companies polluting the environment, so just assume it’s every individual citizen’s responsibility” “the gov won’t ensure food is safe to eat, so just follow these tiktok channels because it’s ultimately your responsibility to know what companies are putting in the food you eat” or “the gov won’t protect consumers from unfair business practices so just don’t support companies that are have a monopoly in your area” (this last one clearly ain’t working and consumers clearly can’t do anything; thinking of Comcast or Ticketmaster here). Personally, I think the EPA, FDA and antitrust laws are as necessary as any other basic laws (along with people to enforce those laws).
People making the claim that we don’t need government intervention, or saying private citizens should be held responsible, for government-sanctioned practices are either delusional/willfully ignorant or fake actors trying to shift responsibility from the government which literally has the power to enact legislation.
Imo, the biggest responsibility citizens have is to hold their government accountable. Most Americans legit think all politicians are evil and stupid which really just goes to show that they can’t tell the difference between someone trying to fight for companies to pay fair overtime/holiday pay and someone fighting for us to invest in another war err I mean defense
Wait, so are there other politics instances? There isn’t just the one?
I seem to get subs/instances for other communities that aren’t from lemmy.world but only one politics community.
If there’s another one that’d be great. I just realized the guy I reported is still commenting there while I was banned for 3 days. I kinda don’t really feel like returning there if that’s how they choose to run it.
That was good info! Thanks
Idk, it’s honestly all a bit too confusing. I still don’t get how this place works. I just use sync and even then some servers/instances or whatever will say I can’t vote for certain posts/servers - idk, I’m assuming there’s servers that get turned off at night or something
Have a recommendation? I only joined world because it seemed to have the least requirements for joining and was maybe more popular. I remember other instances requiring you answer a bunch of questions to join or something like that
Hey now, maybe their entire family consists of nerds and trans chicks
Sorry but what the hell is xorg? Is that another place like 4chan or something
What are you on?
I just recently got banned (I think, never got a response) from the politics sub for reporting another use that called me retarded. It’s legit confusing. I literally reported them because it seemed out of pocket but apparently I said something offensive as well
I’m about ready to that go back to reddit, just using a web browser on my phone. This is place is asking users for a lot and people still don’t seem to understand what a community is. All the pretty words people used when we migrated over was all BS apparently. It’s weird since people clearly put in work but like, where are the mods/admins leading the community? Idk, maybe this stuff’s just too hard for mostly socially-stunted people to manage (including myself, raised on video games and whatnot)
Excellent meme face
I think a lot of it is a result of our capitalistic society squeezing as much as it can from us for profit
That’s awesome!
