So what is the answer?
Maybe push for laws - the purchase of a plastic bottle include 25 cents surcharge on the bottle.
Then you can toss the bottle in the street, and the homeless can scavenge for bottles and make a decent wage for a day’s work - and still there’s enough left over to deal with the plastic.
When 33% of the population agree that immigrants ‘poison the blood’ - what’s your take on that?
Should we assume that some very well balanced people believe that foreigners have poisonous blood?
So all the Caucasians must leave? How dumb are you?
I’m struggling here to avoid being offensive - but really, Americans often appear to me to be averaging subhuman intelligence.
Yesterday I was reading about Latino MAGA’s who just assume Trump isn’t talking about them…
For sure, as a teenager - interest in music switched from interest in music to finding music videos that got girls in 'em'.
I talked to a guy from Springfield - and he says personally he doesn’t think it will make any difference to him whichever one gets in, because right now it’s just talk.
So his idea basically is that whoever he votes for, he’d gonna get screwed over again… this is the decline of democracy and the rise of the post-truth politicians… in many ways, watching Trump is like watching Putin’s mill putting out news - all fake and contradictory news helping to convince that all news and politicians are fake.
I’d agree with this - for Trump, it’s basically just a personality thing and his policies and what he says are less relevant (everyone knows he’s just a joker that talks crap… so you should ignore what he ACTUALLY says and trust that he will deliver… sth like that) whereas for Harris, people listen to what she doesn’t say and expect that she’s hiding the fact that she’ll install surgeries in schools to do stealthy operations so she can send Harry home as Harriette…
I do feel more optimistic that the world can be saved from more Trump - but it’s not yet guaranteed.
Is this thread intended for 1. Android/mobile users 2. iOS/mobile users 3. People with computers/mouse/keyboard or what? It seems most Lemmy threads are pretty exclusively aimed at mobile users.
Haha marketing is what it is… a joke I made up some 30 years ago was that, despite what we see on the surface - the evidence proves that women are disgusting, dirty, fat, ugly animals that need a vast array of products to be created so that they can go outside without offending everyone…
So yes, you’re right to find this ridiculous and offensive - but at the heart of it is simple greed, which is the real meaning of the American Dream.
You’re joking, right?
My computer is set to 1. Warn me at 9.25 to accept or cancel suspension at 9.30. 2. Set volume to 10% and suspend at 9.30 (just in case it gets woken up, I once woke it up at 4am and had a radio application wake up the family). 3. RTC Wake set to 5.59 4. 6.25am my wakeup music plays.
I have suspend, also hybrid - where it will suspend, and after a certain time (useful for laptops, mine’s set for 12 hours so I never hit this unless I go on holiday) it’ll hibernate.
Fundamental error - as usual with Windows news.
These ‘Start Menu Ads’ aren’t rolling out to everyone, I have zero ‘Start Menu Ads’. In fact, I have Zero Ads in my operating system.
Why must Windows news always assume that everyone runs Windows? Isn’t this the main bug with all operating systems?

There are trends - this video explains it well. Trump will reshape America, he will cement power and make sure it’s much easier for MAGA to succeed in future (making it easy, rigging the system, for them to be re-elected).
You are entering a new authoritarian regime in the USA.
Many folks voted Trump because they don’t trust politicians, they don’t trust Democracy, and now they get what they want - Democracy takes the biggest hit in history - and it’s not because of Trump, it’s a worldwide trend - there have been no new Democracies for a good many years already.
Project 2025 (which Trump laughably kept saying ‘I never heard of it, I never read it’ - he’s laughing his tits off, he loves the lower class working Americans, he loves Americans with low education… because they just signed him into power thinking he gives a toss about them - he doesn’t.
He hates them, he hates women, he’s racist, misogynistic, a criminal and a liar.
Project 2025 is a right wing manifesto - opposing abortion and reproductive rights, even outlawing FDA approved safe drugs used in medical abortion… reviving 19th century extreme right wing laws.
Also opposing LGBTQ rights, opposing immigrants’ rights, a racial manual for reorganising the entire federal government to serve a right wing agenda.
You will see now mass raids, deportations, an end to birthright citizenship, breaking up families and dismantling asylum.
Trump will also work to bring in power of warrantless surveillance - to be exploited to spy on Americans and their data… radically expanding executive power and making a mockery of American’s idea of having freedom.
Trump will also use executive authority to limit First Amendment freedoms, he will have power to mute the press, also damaging fair replresentation in the voting process (he said - you won’t have to vote again, with a wry grin on his face).
Watching Trump you can see he’s TELLING YOU what he plans to do, laughing at you for being stupid, because he knows you don’t take it seriously.
Basically, it’s the fascist’s playbook - and you voted this POS into power.
