Canada (from US.) I like where I live, I just don’t like the government.

Nixon (also Reagan and Johnson) severely damaged it, Trump is just the end stage.

If the Communists are willing to do what they say we need to do. This is a big “if” that I don’t see any evidence for.

If they used Mastodon or Lemmy, those people would be less tense.

If they had more normies on it, maybe. But Lemmy seems to be composed primarily of the tensest people in the world to me.

TikTok I’d wait for evidence, but Elon absolutely boosted people like Tate

I ultimately believe “everything is political” is true in the sense that everything interfaces with and influences the political system…but some people just use it to devalue any discussion that does not mention governorship, and any stories that are not propaganda.

As an amateur who used it for a year before switching to FL Studio, I could only recommend it as a way to explore DAW-based music creation for free before switching to something paid and better.

It’s just not feature complete enough, missing basic features like VST3 support (or VST support at all in the Mac version,) time signature changes, sample manipulation capabilities, or in-DAW recording, and it’s built-in effects plugins are overly hard to use. I’ve also seen claims it’s rendering engine is flawed and causes a minor distortion effect, but I can’t verify that myself.

I just think it’s a matter of the crowd Lemmy has attracted. The circumstances of Lemmy’s creation and growth aren’t exactly conducive to being full of fun loving people.

All stereotypes are bad, but as a mixed black person, I’m frankly more worried about the “black people are violent” stereotype.

It’s not the only one (there’s also Crwth and Pwn)

My city’s most recent mayoral election is arguably a better argument for FPTP sucking than US presidential elections. The progressives were split between two candidates so we got the moderate, who’s pro-car in a city where people move for walkability and is painfully clearly trying to get an inroads to national politics.

It’s better than the nearby, bigger city though. SHEESH.

NYC, San Francisco, and Santa Monica did it. A lawsuit Airbnb put forth to to block it in NYC got dismissed even.

Team Multiplayer in general. There’s nothing fun about getting yelled at and in some cases banned for not playing the meta.

Yeah the PBS hack was LulzSec

Guns are pretty much banned in Japan and the UK.

Still, presenting it as a binary is harmful to the movement, when Americans regularly poll in favor of stricter gun measures but not an outright ban.

According to polling most Americans support stricter gun control measures but not a ban. As usual, it’s the Electoral College and FPTP (IMO, no country with either should be listed as a full democracy. Not USA, not UK, and not Canada.) Still, it is true that the gun issue is too often presented as binary (but I’d actually say this is just as common with foreigners arguing for gun bans as it is with Americans arguing against it.)

I’d give up gun control for America to no longer be allied with Israel.

No.

Holy shit we found JD Vance’s Lemmy account
