That’s stupid. People won’t show up tp vote for a party that doesn’t represent their values and the dems aren’t just entitled to votes because trump is the opponent. You can’t win an election on just “the other guy is worse”. You need policies that galvanise your voter base and actually makes a difference in their lives so they don’t feel voting for either party is a waste of time. Objectively trump is worse but it’s on the dems to convince the voters of that and they failed horribly.

And? It’s been 4 years and a lot of factors have changed. If kamala didn’t engage with those 20 mil who felt Biden made promises he didn’t deliver and kamala has no plans to change anything then that could explain it. Blaming this purely on gender without any justification is just careless. Although I’m pretty sure the dems will see this as “women can’t win” rather than “we’re deeply out of touch and need real reform”.

I think education is a factor here as well. People collectively seemed to have started just taking any sources word as objective truth with no rationalisation or justification. The fact we now have google forcing ai answers onto people that are factually wrong or unreliable and most just don’t question it is emblematic of the problem. People lack critical thinking now.

I get the anger from dems against those who didn’t vote but honestly that’s more on the democratic party for not putting forward a candidate that earned those votes than anything else. Neither candidate is “entitled” to votes, just because the other candidate is abhorrent. I do think things will get considerably worse now and that’ll hopefully teach those who didn’t vote that yes that can happen and they should vote but the decision not to isn’t on the electorate, it’s the party that felt like they deserved votes they didn’t earn.

Tbf, Democrats are centrist not left. It’s just us politics collectively is so right leaning you folks don’t have a real representative left leaning 3rd party. A real left party would institute policies to give everyone access to bread (so long as it isn’t in short supply). It’s absurd a country as big and rich as the US has such poor social support programs.

Like he did last time. We’re basically expecting trump to be predictable which he 100% is. What wasn’t predictable at least IMO is that he’d still not be in jail by the time the election happens.

You can take my .moe from my cold, dead, hands (๑˘･з･˘)

Given the size of lockfiles this would not surprise me but who the hell counts lock files code. Their barely configs :/.

I really hope this is one of those tactile hit it from the top and it’ll trigger from the bottom designs. But more likely they just never expect you to use it.

I like the way this guys wife thinks :-).

How? Like someone would have to have access to the device and also know how you hid the crypto and then presumably despite having the former decides to only take the latter. Unless I’m misunderstanding. Like crypto is cool, but you know what’s a cooler, a phone that also has crypto in it.

As someone unfamiliar with Japanese politics, why? Like if so many people are unsatisfied can’t they vote for someone else? Or are the alternatives just as bad?

Find God and switch to templeos. /s

Jk. Everyone knows Hannah Montana Linux is the next big thing.

Because their an ad company and they don’t like any threats to their revenue stream. Same logic as video game companies using DRM. Selling a worse product at a bigger expense to tell shareholders their compelling pirates to pay (even tho most pirates will just not play the game rather than suddenly start purchasing it).

It’s a weird decision to further monetize access to a platform that’s hemorrhaging users and engagement.

I guess one can argue the lack of resources to prevent issues like this makes the state culpable as well. Although it’s 100mil for a 3-4 billion sized expense is quite odd. I wonder if they picked the maximum amount that wouldn’t bankrupt the owner.

For anyone else lucky enough to have never heard of this:

In September 2024, Dominique Pélicot, a 71-year-old man from Mazan in south-eastern France, testified in court that he repeatedly drugged his wife, raped her, and invited strangers to rape her while she was unconscious.[1] Over a period of nine years, from July 2011 to October 2020, Gisèle Pélicot, who was unaware of the abuse being perpetrated against her, was raped 92 times by 72 men, as her husband filmed the abuse. The abuse came to light only in September 2020 when Dominique Pélicot was arrested for taking upskirt photographs of women in a supermarket, and police thereafter discovered thousands of images and videos that Pélicot had taken of the rapes and stored on his computing equipment. Pélicot is also accused of training Jean-Pierre Maréchal to drug and rape his own wife. The trial in Avignon of Dominique Pélicot and 50 other men accused of the rapes began on 2 September 2024, and is scheduled to conclude in mid-December.

Jfc. Wth.

Yeah, you’d make your version basically impossible to search for unless it massively blows up

If the choice is spend more to hold onto the byproducts or let the byproducts slowly make the entire earth uninhabitable I’m kinda in favour of the former. Ideally completely green energy would be preferred but I guess it just doesn’t scale well with consumer demands and patterns :/.

Friendly reminder MLK was killed in 1968. One year before the moonlanding. I always thought open and legal racial segregation was a century or more ago. It hasn’t even been 100 years since the holocaust and bloody nazis are popular again. Wtf.
