It’s an energy drink the same way a cup of coffee is an energy drink. It’s being called that by the plaintiffs because of the negative connotation “energy drink” has - zero other reason. And it’s not like Panera hid the fact that it had caffeine…
It’s funny. If you and your neighbors got your preferred representatives, then would I have to read this VoTINg DoESn’T MaTTEr garbage from the other party?
Edit: Oh wait, nvm. Other side also bitches when they lose elections. No idea how I forgot.
…what. I genuinely don’t know how we got into a discussion about gerrymandering from the original topic. If you want to yell at someone for that, I think you replied to the wrong person - I don’t really care. Gerrymandering can be overcome with higher voter turnout - something I’ve been trying to tell the people here to do.
Outside of that, I don’t really know what point you’re trying to make so … good luck with w/e you’re dealing with.
And in Florida, as they already have a fascist state government, it very soon won’t even be Weimar Germany anymore. It WILL be “Nazi Germany.”
Can you people actually read what I wrote rather than look at my score and try to get a gotcha in? Holy shit, like I addressed this in 3rd sentence in the comment you’re replying to. Let me bold it with [context added] in case you don’t get it
It and the rest of America can be [like Nazi Germany] if people keep moving away
It’s pretty funny how in one sentence you say it’s a metaphor and in the VERY NEXT ONE you’re talking about “active resistance”. Are you serious? Am I being punked?
And I’m not talking about any sort of active resistance. Literally passive resistance, voting, ANYTHING other than running into a henhouse would be better.
I suspected nothing I said would’ve been helpful for you anyway - it was more for other people reading.
Florida is not Nazi Germany. It is if you consume all your news from lemmy headlines, but in real life it is not. It and the rest of America can be if people keep moving away - like I said in my original comment.
Good for you, but that’s not the situation the average American is in. Most people still don’t vote, so someone reading this would likely be able to do something.
No it’s not just the senate. If people keep running away to a handful of “nice” states and give up on the others, then bye bye House. Bye bye Executive branch. Bye bye Judicial branch.
And then you’ll get the same dumbasses wondering why their nice place isn’t so nice anymore.
You can try to convince other people who would’ve stayed home to vote instead… That’s essentially multiplying your vote.
…wow. From what I know - the defense generative models have against copyright is that they don’t copy their training data directly. If the models have that data in some form that can be repeated back, they can/should get reamed by lawsuits.
The software’s name is quite prophetic. Actual lemmings.
They have no reason to take your concerns seriously if there isn’t an incentive for it. Seriously - why would they do favors for one group who may reward them when they can do favors for another which will reward them.
Once again, I’m going to point to Bernie - he tried to go appeal to the youth vote. See how he did in the primaries.
inb4 bernie-bros cry about being shafted by The Man. No - people just didn’t vote for him.

He’s soft in the largest generational blocs (millennials gen z) and we all know it.
No-one in politics should give a fuck about millennials or zoomers because they don’t vote in large enough numbers to matter. If they voted, sure, cater to them. But as long as they keep having the woe is me, voting doesn’t do anything attitude, they’re going to keep getting ignored.
This is also why I think Bernie is a dumbass - not because I don’t agree with his policies, but because he tried to court people who won’t make the small effort to cast a ballot in his favor.
And I’ll add some “in case you’re a moron boilerplate” to it
This is actually needed. People see the conspiracy disclaimer as a wink wink and just believe everything as-is.
??? Are you a bot? Did you read the part in the comment chain where it was shown that it wasn’t a fact?
Also please learn some self awareness if you’re going to use bad characterization while accusing me of doing the same thing
They don’t have any obligation to do the legwork for you. It’s good that you put your homework here for others to reference, but no-effort comments get no-effort replies. And as you found out, they were ultimately correct.
There are way too many bad faith statements on lemmy.
He fucking does say it. Multiple times across different sources. That’s literally why he’s quitting the senate. You people just don’t read past headlines so you don’t see it.

The drink in question had no additives other than caffeine…. Sounds like more like coffee or a frappe to me.
