Nancy was effectively president for Reagan’s second term. People were mad about Biden, but they also hid how far gone Reagan was. FDR, too.

Cute.

I don’t think that degree of optimism is justified.

My notes on this are a little old, but:

No VRA protections, voter purges/caging (Crosscheck), targeted disenfranchisement & gerrymandering, insecure/unauditable voting machines, undermined census, and gaming the electoral college, all impact the fairness of our elections, on top of the naive first-past-the-post implementation.

It depends, up to four works for some apps depending on monitor size, but otherwise I do the same thing as @Nibodhika@lemmy.world.

Overlapping window managers, the most common type in use by far, just seem crazy to me. Windows almost never use the available monitor space, and they have to constantly be wrangled around each other so that… you can drag something instead of using the clipboard, I guess?

You don’t usually have them all open at the same time, you minimize some. Or maybe you add more monitors.

Thanks for digging into that!

Corvair, Gremlin, Concord, …

Do you have any references for this? I only ask because “cities are dangerous shitholes” has been a talking point of reactionaries for a long time.

So much this. Car noise is a huge problem.

I can tell you’re really proud of these replies, but I’m afraid they don’t actually make sense.

You were hoping to prove a logical implication (if P then Q), but you feel it was disproved since the premise didn’t happen. However, “not P” doesn’t actually prove anything about the implication.

Anyway, no one is really accomplishing anything constructive here. Good luck!

If it’s not compelling enough for you to read it to support your position, why would I read it?

There’s a lot of hope being pinned on the probably uncorroborated testimony of a coconspirator being questioned by agents of a prime suspect. I have a hard time seeing either side accepting anything that comes out of it.

So you didn’t read it either? Interesting.

It looks to me like that same feeling toward any population concerns are the clear sentiment of the op, even if they don’t state it so openly. I guess you didn’t see that? No sense trying to beat this to death, we’re seeing different things.

It’s a diversion to another topic. No thanks.

Why are you asking me?

I thought maybe someone was capable of answering a reasonable question to support their position, assuming they had already read the article. Apparently I have to do that work for them?

Not everyone has equally arable land.

Edit: Beyond that, have you talked to anyone performative driving one of those child-killing tall pickups? We are a people that lost their shit about straws, and the kind of changes being talked about here are just… [waves arms at all of this]

It’s not my job to make your point. You don’t get free labor.

Why? I’m not the one using it to justify an argument.
