World News@lemmy.world•‘It will be harder on us’: Palestinians weigh up impact of Trump election win
2013·1 year agobeing angry at voters who didn’t vote the way you wanted them to isn’t going to actually achieve anything, though
harris didn’t even win the popular vote. it wasn’t even a particularly close election. you can’t not blame the dnc after a defeat like this.

192·1 year agoTBH, I haven’t used wordpad since Windows 98
which is why they’re getting rid of it

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it possible to stay alive just for something you want to do (I mean dyeing of old age) like Jimmy Carter wants to stay alive so he can vote for Harris? Have you seen or heard example of this?
4·1 year agoi can’t source it and it’s tangential but i do remember hearing about some study that looked at people’s reactions to their cancer diagnosis
- some people react with melancholy
- some people react by entering into a strict regime to give themselves that maximum chance of surviving, like heavily controlled diet, exercise, etc.
- some people react with outrage and denial, just refusing to allow the fact that they have cancer alter their lives
and the outcome was that the second groups had better outcomes than the first, but more interestingly, the third group also had better outcomes than the first
if whoever suggested the anchovy pizza knew that most people there didn’t like anchovies, and therefore wouldn’t have a preference, allowing shit-sandwich to win, then yeah?
