It was young men, especially Latinos, who broke hard for Trump. Not Boomers.
White college educated men are the only group that increased in share for Harris. Trump even got a higher share of women than he did in 2020.
Leftists - the "don't vote" kind - definitely dropped the ball.
"Look, I hate women, but I hate Nazis even more" - Boomer men
Only the chosen few businesses, and entirely at the whims of the dictator. Your CEO pisses off the leader, your business goes bye bye.
There's GOTTA be a way to combine liquid cooling of server racks and radiators for home heating
We use electricity to cool down one thing while we use electricity to heat up a different thing. Makes no sense.
And propaganda. LOTS of propaganda.
Only because he fucked up and went after the Mouse lol
Mouse will fuck you up
Companies don't want fascism, they just want tax breaks. Civil war and dictatorships are bad for business.
Ok.
I think you're pessimistic and fatalistic.
Government typically happens on a longer than 4 year time span.
Tale as old as time.
Democrat makes moves to the center.
Leftists become disillusioned
Say both parties are the same
Republican gets elected
Leftists learn that what they though was "right wing" was only the tip of the iceberg
when put in power, actual Republicans do things far worse things than Leftists even imagined were possible
Because kids are addicted to social media
None of those things is within the authority of the President to do.
I understand what you're saying. It's not a failure to communicate. I just disagree.
Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse
When we have a critical mass of people, we can get random experts chiming in about interesting topics in an organic way.
What would be a fair wage for the work you do? An actual dollar amount.
Bonus question: how much would a company have to pay you for you to give 100% effort at work?
TIL about Brandolini's Law: "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it."
Also knowns as the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle

Why limit immigration?
Aside from racism. I mean economically/socially, what issues does too much immigration cause?
Do you want to see more normies on Lemmy?
Inspired by this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/19408108
You are now in charge of Russia. What do you do?
You have all the powers that Putin currently does. Everyone completely loyal to Putin is now loyal to you. Enemies of Putin are enemies of you. Putin no longer exists, and there has been a clean and absolute transfer of power to you. The economic, military, social and political situations are the same as they now are. You are not inhabiting Putin's body, you are just you. You're magically transferred to the Kremlin. The world at large doesn't know your past life, to them you have magically appeared as the new ruler. To everyone who knew you before, you just vanished.
Edit: no one knows your past life YET. They'll quickly figure it out. You will not lose any support based on your actions in your past life.
What are your favorite privacy-focused alternatives to standard apps?
Especially for those of us with no coding background, who can't just build/edit an app.
For example, I like using Gadgetbridge to replace my fitness tracker app: https://gadgetbridge.org/
It's not nearly as full-featured as a regular fitness app, but it literally can't connect to the internet so there's no way anyone can get my health info.
How many people here actually know any African-Americans?
Not like "I went to school with one" but have had an actual friendship?
I've had a couple of conversations recently where people have confidently said things about the Black community that are ridiculously incorrect. The kind of shit where you can tell they grew up in a very white community and learned about Black history as a college freshman.
Disclaimer: I am white, but I grew up in a Black neighborhood. I was one of 3 white kids in my elementary school lol, including my brother.
Is the Imperium of Man HFY?
There's a whole genre of sci-fi that has a major premise as "humanity is the most powerful/dominating/victorious species in the cosmos...and that's not a compliment". I always understood that to be a facet of HFY, but per this sub's description HFY should be "uplifting".
Like, a story where aliens try to invade Earth and we kick their asses is definitely HFY. But what if we then enslave the survivors of the alien horde? What if we reverse engineer their tech, go to their homeworld, and nuke their planet? What if we tailor a virus to their genome and purge the galaxy of their entire species, and their little alien babies die screaming in their little alien cribs?
Is that HFY?
