politics @lemmy.world•Justice Department sues to block California's new House map in clash that could tip control of Congress
7·3 months agoIf a state receives a court order that their maps are illegal, they just have to throw up their hands and pretend there’s no time to change them until the election takes place. Then they can use the illegal maps and face no consequences. This precedent has been set in multiple legislatures controlled by the bastards.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do?
16·3 months agoImagine the giant trucks road raging because you’re in the left lane and only going +20 the speed limit. Or the old creeps hitting on teenagers.
What if we instead imagine the truck drivers politely asking you to move over? What if the ability to communicate freely with other drivers made the experience closer to walking in a crowd. I’m imagining something that allows all vehicles within a certain radius to hear one another so you can communicate with courtesy. I think a lot of road rage stems from our frustrations with our inability to communicate (and be held accountable) by the people around us.

politics @lemmy.world•Republicans grapple with voter frustration over rising health care premiums
53·4 months agoI’d say apathy should be interpreted as a vote for the status quo (incumbent) but it’s flatly wrong to call it a vote at all.

politics @lemmy.world•Marjorie Taylor Greene Rages Against GOP Leadership Ahead of Looming Health Insurance Hikes: ‘Absolutely Disgusted’
9·4 months agoAlso, I think health insurance and all insurance is a scam, just be clear!
What even is her position here? She is against single payer and against insurance companies. Does she want us paying for everything out of pocket?

World News@lemmy.world•China is beating the US in battle for energy export dominanceEnglish
9·4 months agoIf you had told me 20 years ago that China would be closer to manifesting the Star Trek future I always wanted than the US, I would never have believed you. But here we are.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The Daily Beast uses "Hot Mic" in a headline to describe someone saying things with a microphone in a known public place into known recordsEnglish
12·5 months agoThis guy thinks they had 100 FBI agents scrub diaper’s name from the files because he was a whistle blower? Surely the best way to prove his valiant role in this ordeal is to release the unredacted files, right?

politics @lemmy.world•Kamala Harris announces international book tour for '107 Days'
19·6 months agoDoes it address why she conceded the most suspicious election of my lifetime despite her opponent claiming it would be rigged for 2 entire years?

politics @lemmy.world•California Supreme Court declines to stop Newsom's redistricting plan
55·6 months agoI really appreciate commentors like yourself that add value to posts with clarifying details. Thank you!
You could probably name any race from Trek and justify them as Gorn food.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•[UPDATE: Fake] They made his car "cease & desist"English
702·6 months agoTotally reasonable. I wish every electronic device would brick itself if it heard you talking shit about it. People are too rude to toasters.

politics @lemmy.world•How Undemocratic Is Gerrymandering? Look at How Blue Texas Could Be if Democrats Drew the Maps.
5·7 months agoWe probably need an amendment to actually do redistricting fairly, but as long as one side is abusing the process, it doesn’t make sense for the other side to try to continue being ‘fair’. You’re just bringing a fart to a shit slinging contest.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials
201·7 months agoI’m crazy. Mark My Words. In 20 years, we’ll have so many microbes capable of consuming plastic people will be bitching about their packages not being able to effectively protect their goods from spoiling. The goldfish has spoken.

politics @lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani’s victory in NYC mayoral primary leaves Wall Street 'alarmed' and 'depressed'
24·8 months agoI’m willing to swap my house with any of these poor depressed oligarchs that feel obliged to flee the city. It’s in a conservative run state if that sweetens the deal.

12·9 months agoSupposing Stargate technology exists, you could conceivably control an entire galaxy, but that is proposing the existence of technology incompatible with our best understanding of the universe. Realistically the solar system will probably be the limit of my empire.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who are some people in powerful positions or 1%ers that are genuinely good people?
393·9 months agoI like Mark Cuban for the whole https://www.costplusdrugs.com/ thing he’s doing. I have no idea whether or not he’s a decent guy, but this is a decent thing to do, so I give him the benefit of the doubt.

I’d say virtually all Hispanic people have some Native American ancestry. The number of Hispanic people living in the Americas with an exclusively European lineage is probably very small. But, that’s just like my opinion, man.
