Doesn’t matter if it’s a disaster while I agree with what you are saying I truly believe I just voted in the last American Election. After 4 years the opposition party will be jailed just like in Russia. Fox News/TMTG will become state media. They’re going to run the country like a business alright the problem is that it’s private equity and they’re selling everything off for parts and Russia just bought all of it for cheap.
I do like the the moon landing one since I always say the government payed Stanley Kubrick to film the moon landing but he demanded to shoot on location.
I think the real question are there any think-tanks that are willing to fight dirty to get liberal policy like the heritage foundation does for fascism.
The ending of get smart but on nick and night not first run I’m not that old
The Constitution is only as good as the Judiciary of the supreme court allows it to be interpreted so basically it’s the equivalent of toilet paper now.
Laws only mean anything if there’s repercussions to those who wield it and the Supreme Court has said we have a king.
It goes to their kid’s that don’t have any real skills and they run it into the ground or worse become president of the United States.
This is definitely not uplifting news.
Ah I only used Digg and never heard of reddit till Digg died and never joined most of the big subs. But also reddit was so small back then a small bump is a good kick start. Google trends data correlates with what I saw Digg was more search for in 2008 then by 2011 Digg was dead after the 4.0 debacle in 2010 and reddit took off in 2011.
I was there too i was one of the ones that jumped over. I know its a big internet so maybe we both had different experiences. So maybe you are right and the timing was just a correlation and not causation.
It also took death of a platform “Digg” to jump start its growth.
I don’t know why but when I first saw it I thought it was a row of caskets and the title still worked.
I use the domain for other things it’s not just for this purpose just an added perk.
My favorite thing to do is I have a secondary domain name that is setup with a catch all email address mailbox. So when they ask for a email i just give them [email protected] and when they say i need a real email address I say it’s real. The look on their face when my phone buzzes with the recept is priceless. Then promptly back hole that address
Obsidian is not open source but i also think it’s pretty neat.
Exactly I would say the only thing that I find could improve the fediverse would be the adoption of open ID that way we could login to any instance of lemmy or mastodon using our home insurance. But I could be missing an obvious flaw with that.
I sort by new and most posts are not trash as they were on reddit. Things don’t need 50k up votes to be valuable. Lemmy as a platform was the perfect blend of old school forms and reddit. Im just sad it took so long that people forgot how the internet is supposed to work.
It’s like they get email is [email protected] but for anything else they say that’s too hard. Hell even when I give my email they just assume Gmail. I swear Web 2.0 was a cancer.
If the universe is infinite we also ended up on another earth very far away where the combination atoms just happened to repeat in the same combination as here and now.
No do I think an Al-Qaeda like terrorist organization established by Christian nationalists gets formed that’s already here. A Civil War is only when to established governments fight over territory. And no military in the entire world can go Toe to Toe with the full force of the US Military with conventional Warfare. Maybe the National Guard in the couple Southern States Splinter off but the way soldiers are trained in the National Guard is they swear in allegiance to the US Constitution not the governor or president.
If the Southern States did try again it would be like the 1860 South fighting the 21st century North.
I feel responsible for this comic.

This is very much on point I have always seen America as as really having four parties masquerading as two. Progressives , corporate Left , Corporate Right, and zealots and bigots.
The problem is the Corporate Left and corporate Right have been edging Progressives and the zealots and bigots on single issues but never following through as they wouldn’t have anything to campaign on. Trump was too stupid to realize this but when he killed Roe (not to be crass but ) he finely let the zealots and bigots cum and they fell in love.
With Progressives that happened with Obama but he just kept edging us never truly giving what we need other than it could be worse. Instead of single-payer Health we got a Republican idea for healthcare.
Every Progressive will tell you that the electoral system is broken but do we ever get Democrats running on election reform. No because both Corporate Left and Corporate Right don’t want that. The country is divided up like cable companies Charter gets the northern states and Comcast gets the southern states. But they didn’t see musk going over their heads with StarLink fucking up the arrangement.
