On the one hand I imagine they’ve done some kinda analysis on how number go up, on the other it’s hard for me to imagine that the money you spend on paying your employees is better directed towards making everyone frustrated rather than just keeping the store a clean and pleasant place to be in

Actually, that’s an avocado

Things went to shit while Trump was still in office. There was a whole year Harris could have spent a lot more time reminding people about where prices made their biggest jumps and a million people died. And he told us to drink bleach.

People didn’t vote. Significantly less turnout this year than 2020. Further left is more exciting than an idiot chasing endorsement from Republicans.

It’s stupid, but if people weren’t stupid Trump wouldn’t have been a candidate.

99% sure Lemmy has a higher average age than any social media other than maybe facebook

I’m trying to imagine being one of those backstage people. How do you not feel sudden and intense fear when this guy says that to a huge crowd of morons? Do I already have to be one of those morons in order to agree to do setup for this guy’s rally?

And what about whoever’s doing setup for the next show? I would probably stop showing up for work…

The millions of years preceding modern medicine didn’t fix it, so I’m not sure how much time you eugenicists think evolution takes

That’s just it though; every drop counts. It’s no more “just a drop” than our actual votes are.

It’s also like how people refuse to leave Twitter. “Everyone else is there! How could my leaving make any difference?”

I had one of these and somehow it also picked up a radio station, so no matter what I played it’d be mixed with some random techno music

I know I’m ducking under the joke here but I’m pretty sure that case is famous enough that lots of younger people would still get it

The boy who cried fascist, except he never lied about it a single time, there’s just a lot of people who didn’t care if a few sheep get taken, and refuse to care now that we’re running out of sheep.

Maybe it’s just a tiny hatsune miku

Sounds objectively better than the current system where the weirdos get funded by billionaires and legitimized far more than the litany of normal candidates

They will make those accusation no matter what and they will stick just the same regardless. In fact, giving conservative politicians an easier go just makes it more likely for regular people to get caught up in the bullshit. Media that uses kid gloves for extreme right politicians actually does it because they are also on the right.

They’re using “other” as a verb. “Othering” people, as in racism

Someday we’ll find out it’s been happening for years but the government doesn’t care enough to prosecute it.

I’m only half kidding. I mean, when was the last time a seriously rich person was convicted for murder?

Made him president and then graduated from support to worship while he actively worked to make everyone’s lives worse. Blaming Biden for handling the pandemic poorly the same way they blamed Obama for the 2008 crash. Sucks to suck, I guess.

Unfortunately it’s two different crowds. The top price is what your average person sees, the bottom prices are what billionaires looking to launder money into the Trump campaign see

Discord is 1000x worse because entire communities have taken to moving onto there. It’s like the one thing that’s worse than moving everything to Reddit: people using a fancy chat service like a forum. Everything from hardware to games seems to have most of the community on Discord; incredibly unhelpful if I’m trying to troubleshoot something.

“Pet” theory! Because a cat is a pet!

Ha!
