Yes it’s true. Here are some examples:

What exactly do you find bizarre about it? Like how is it not identical to reddit with the exception of federation? Most of the communities here are direct copies of reddit subs and/or places to repost reddit posts.

It’s definitely some “uncanny valley” material. I can’t point to anything specific but it looks like it was assembled using face parts from 6 different people.

Hang on, give me a few minutes to craft an excuse for why that shouldn’t be considered comparable.

And this place is designed to be a clone of reddit so it seems dumb to be bothered by someone using reddit terminology here.

This is a shared workstation PC at my job so I’ll have to just continue to deal with it.

Was this a more significant leak than the Gulf oil spill? I think not.

I’ve had nothing but issues with it since their “upgrade” over the last year or so. It keeps cycling between the new and old versions when I open it, it often closes itself on my PC, and every time I try to pin it to my Taskbar it disappears.

My wife’s Ford Edge has the worst of both worlds. It has buttons for the stereo and AC but they’re all flat capacitive buttons so they barely work when you touch them and you still have to take your eyes off the road to find them.

Because the people at the coffee stand complained when I tried taking a shit there.

Automakers will read this comment and think that everyone wants voice control instead of touchscreens or buttons.

I did answer by saying that I’m going to take zero blame for this mess.

I also said that I did vote for Harris, so I’m confused about your “sitting back and allowing a genocidal fascist dictator to take power” comment. I’ve been preaching about the DNC’s incompetence since they allowed him to get elected in 2016 but I’m always met with opposition from people who think the DNC’s losing strategy is the correct strategy even though there’s no metric where this makes any sense.

A token opposition party in Putin-style elections doesn’t need to worry about accountability. Or anything else as long as they don’t defy Great Leader too much.

Are you talking about Democrats here? Are you suggesting the election was rigged? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.

Other than lots of people suffering and dying and you getting to gloat about it, I’m not seeing the upside here for anyone but Trump supporters.

But I do hope you enjoy the gloating.

Where am I gloating? I’m pissed off that the Democrats threw yet another election by pursuing right-wing ideals with a right-wing candidate. They have yet again completely abandoned the left in order to court the right (who voted for Trump anyway) , and it cost them another election and likely every branch of government. I’m trying to get people like you to wake up to that fact, to hold your party accountable, and I don’t understand how you can sit here a week after their major loss acting like they had a winning strategy and did everything right. The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is rotten.

Yeah, I’m going to take zero blame for the outcome of these past three presidential elections as I held my nose and voted for the terrible slew of (D) candidates each time which resulted in two losses and one near loss. When are you going to hold the party accountable for their performance and unwillingness to support electable candidates?

Genocide and genocide? How about xenophobia and xenophobia? Pro-corporate anti-worker and pro-corporate anti-worker? We may be limited on parties, but they decide their platforms.

You can continue to support the Democrats shift further and further right, but it isn’t winning them any elections, so you’re just handing victories to the Republicans because they already occupy that space. It gave us Trump in 2016, nearly again in 2020, and now again in 2024. It’s also given them the Senate, likely the House, and with the Supreme Court. How much more are you willing to give Republicans before you’re ready to hold the DNC accountable?

It sounds like you’re still running their campaign for them as you gain enjoyment by mocking those opposed to supporters and enablers of genocide regardless of which tribe they belong to. That was a conscious choice from her, and this is a conscious choice from you to continue your support. She was trying to win an election, but what’s your excuse?

Please scour through my post history and find where I’ve ever told anyone how they should vote.

A shitty campaign does not excuse you from sitting back and allowing fascism to take over.

I did no such thing. I place the blame on Trump voters, Harris, and the DNC

Do you honestly think this is a winning argument as if those are the only two options?

“Accelerated genocide” is a term that fits along nicely with “enhanced interrogation.” It’s good to see the right-wing disinformation machine is still functioning since W. Bush left office. I wonder if Harris picked that gem up as she was courting Dick Cheney’s endorsement?

“Our strategy failed and our candidate lost. Quick! Start mocking people for caring about a genocide before they start getting ideas about blaming us for the mess we caused!”
