I’m talking long before digital channels existed. (In the US anyway)

Even before the 2000s they started showing a blue screen instead of static.

That wasn’t just a digital or flat panel thing.

But of course old sets were around for a long time.

Because if they did consider themself Latino, it might sound more like a personal complaint instead of just a general question.

One of my friends in middle school had the last name Morris, so I think of it as a last name.

Absolutely.

Genetically I’m around 50% descended from people of a culture that I simply wasn’t raised in, which is associated with a religion I never practiced (as opposed to the different religion I left)

Based on looks I could easily identify as that culture and strangers wouldn’t question it. They also don’t question my lack of doing so.

Hamilton is a last name. I won’t doubt that there are some people who have it first (not checking), but they probably have two last names.

I assume it was just named after r/politics - like most of the other communities here during the migration.

I haven’t opened the link yet, but I assume OP means Signal to noise ratio. (Specifically the ‘Other uses’ section if it didn’t jump there)

Another thing that’s barely on the chart: Foreign Policy, some fraction of which would be the genocide.

It just wasn’t the influential issue that much of Lemmy wished it were, and clearly not the reason Harris lost.

I read elsewhere that the pension was specifically not included, but the rest of the package sure sounds to me like a good deal in the headlines.

I know a Boeing employee, I’ll have to ask them about their take on it when I get a chance.

Doesn’t make them wrong.

Even Nate Silver just turned off his model tonight because it was still showing Harris ahead when she very obviously wasn’t.

On a large enough clock, the hour hand could have easily visible marks for not just minutes, but also seconds. If I were an architect or whatever I would try to make that the floor of a lobby or something.

1. That’s exactly the same thing and you know it and she knows it.

2. True, but all 3rd party candidates who are running in the general election are there to be a spoiler. Even RFK jr. dropped out and dropped the mask as soon as he realized he was spoiling the wrong side.

3. You’re right that she’s not campaigning for de la Cruz, but she still said the quiet part out loud about supporting 3rd party candidates in general. (And Sawant uses the word socialist to describe herself regardless of specific party, I hadn’t realized that she wasn’t in the main one, thank you. That’s why I used ‘one of them’ incorrectly.)

Yup. Their goal is to help elect Trump. One of them a self-described socialist who supports Jill Stein from my state even said so outright.

Edit: looks like some of you might not believe me. Here.

And here’s a more direct source, but it has a paywall.

(Edited for accuracy)

I think a good author makes it explicit.

Here’s a sci-fi web novel I read years ago, where a couple of the characters end up being immortal in different ways, and in one case they show exactly how far that can go (in the context of the story) even without invoking heat death.

Yeah, This case especially since it includes XWayland

So all hope is lost and we should just give up and let the full direct fascist win. Got it.

I agree. Genocide is the worst crime in the world.

Which is why I voted for Kamala Harris, to help keep Donald Trump from winning.

Do you disagree with my choice? If so, how would you vote in the US presidential election of 2024 to minimize the genocide in Gaza?

telling me that you actually really believe it would mean you have basically no grasp on reality. You can’t tell the difference between your imagination and what’s real, allegedly.

I could very well be wrong about you, but I was led there by the evidence of your comments. Don’t want to be thought of as a shill, then don’t act like one.

[Responses to links]

It is like this is your first time learning about journalism and PR.

Eh. I don’t usually involve myself with threads like this, so I am indeed much less experienced arguing them and finding good sources. It’s certainly not my job. Anyway, this was in response to you saying that the Palestinians ‘generally’ disregard Biden/Harris, I think that is still questionable. And even if the majority do, way over half the US is failing to vote for their own interests (because non-voting counts) so that unfortunately would not be too surprising.

Ahahahahahaha

Nice comeback.

Hard to say.

Then by definition I am not a shill.

You think my inability to know what you Really believe (as opposed to what you write) makes you not a shill? Sorry, I’m not able to follow that logic.

I work against the genocide and have for over a year, doing organizing work. Folks like yourself have been excysing and normalizing genocide because your team is doing it.

My team is not great on this count, but the other team (and yes there are only two this election) is so much worse that’s it’s not even funny.

Trying to convince people to not vote for the only candidate that has a very slight chance of not supporting Israel as much really bothers me. It’s not ideal, but there is no better example I’ve seen of the perfect being the enemy of the good.

Begone, liar for genocide.

Same.

To be lies or even bad faith, I’d have to not actually believe what I wrote. And I very much believe what I wrote.

The Palestinian diaspira [sic], generally speaking, rejects Biden and Harris.

Do they now? (A small sample. Some of those are about the ones still in Gaza, but I don’t think that detracts from the point.)

However, you have not answered my questions.

Fine. Here are your questions and my genuine answers.

What am I shilling for?

I think you are likely a shill for Donald Trump. I don’t assume it’s directly, as in I don’t assume you are being paid by the GOP or a super PAC, but wouldn’t be surprised if someone was paying you.

What are my real opinions?

Hard to say. At best (unlikely) I think you have been very strongly misled into thinking that’s somehow what’s best for the country, or even the world. Otherwise I think you know fully what you are doing and the damage it may cause and you are fine with that. This is what I believe based on the comments I’ve seen from you.

What are the fake ones I’m presenting?

That you care about the genocide. I think you are using it as a wedge to try to divide and mute the Democrat vote.

Now you are downplaying the magnitude of genocide.

Not at all. That was the first thing I addressed: if Harris loses it will be so much worse in Gaza and elsewhere.
