Yes they’re used, but they’re not THE ONLY method of control as it was in this disaster of a sub.

If you think that trump is capable of that then you admit the American system is so flawed that a diaper wearing dementia ridden criminal is all it will take to bring it down. That Pax Americana is on the death bed and electing Biden is just kicking the can down the road.

Without the looming existential threat of the climate apocalypse and the inevitability of children born today fighting in the water wars, Biden might be fine, but we need action now and anything else isn’t just lesser of two evils, it’s complete failure in our lifetimes…

”Both options are cliffs!”

But they are though.

The cliff drivers aren’t getting off the bus, even if we vote them down this time, if we don’t change the system that allows them equal opportunity to drive us off a cliff they will eventually force it off the cliff.

Biden has long supported the system that allows it, prides himself on being able to find a middle ground with them, and though he talks about not going over the cliff has no long term plan for dealing with those that do, because again he believes in the system that allows them to want to drive off the cliff.

I believe I’ve stretched this metaphor about as far as it will go, but I’m going to try stretching it further.

There are actually two cliffs, fascism and climate change, even if we pull the bus away from one cliff we’ve still got the other in front of us and basically no one is even pretending to deal with that.

And to leave the broken bus scenario, I’m just going to say if you believe that a trump win will destroy American democracy, that we can’t defeat his corrupt, senile version of fascism then the next republican demagogue will have no problems.

Those groups are entirely to credulous.

They “want to believe” so bad that they’ll jump at any claim no matter how extraordinary without even a scent of proof…

So leveraged buyouts which take productive companies saddle them with debt and then strip them of their assets are just a doomer fever dream?

Thank you.

Shitty business model

Fortnite goes brrrrr

They’ll keep doing whatever they can to get market share as long as it remains a money printer…

They’re still giving away free games, though the name recognition of them has fallen.

I’d heard of that before so after a quick google America passed the Metric Conversion Act in 1975 then in 1982 the Metric Board was abolished by President Ronald Reagan…

So like the harbinger of doom for American progress he was Regan killed it…

Rdr2s online is not getting regular updates, it is basically abandoned.

I’ve been down this rabbit hole and found nothing specifically for podcasts, but a lot of pods get posted to YouTube channels, which is a solved problem.

The users reddit lost are the whiniest ad blocking power users, I’m included in this group so don’t take it as an insult, maybe 3% of total users.

Reddit is still doing fine, long term the writing may be on the wall but the venture capitalist just need it to make it until September.

How does one go about getting invites to private trackers? I have yet to figure it out. The advice generally given is “know somebody” but I don’t so…

That’s the thing, reddit doesn’t need to be profitable for the venture capitalists to make their bag. They’re trying to cash out at the IPO and have no concern for it after that.

You can’t black instances though, instead of blocking 100 communities you can just block one instance…

Seems like they’re back, but they’ve got kbin.

It’s an older meme, but it checks out…

I always like to see this one, but it being popular on lemmy makes me worry that it’s all going to be reposts from other site’s heydays…

callery kearns if you haven’t seen it before…
