A really underrated part of the right always saying this is that your average uninformed viewer leaves the interaction thinking “educated people prefer the right” when nothing could be further from the truth. If this rule was actually fairly implemented and you actually had to pass an 8th grade civics exam idk if republicans would get a single vote.

100%. When will people start pointing out to “good Christians” that the things making them a good Christian have nothing to do with Christianity??

You might get some snarky comments, but the way I envision it is that the fuller of a picture companies can get of you (when you’re running a vacuum, when you’re driving, when your lights are on and off, etc.) the more data they have to try and run predictive analytics on your behavior and that can be used in a variety of ways that may or may not benefit you. At this point it’s mostly just to get you to buy things they think you’ll buy, but what happens when your profile starts to match up with someone who commits crimes? Maybe you get harassed by the authorities a little more often? Generally the lack of consent around how the data is collected and how it’s used is the problem most people have.

Is the antifa in the room with you right now?

Anecdotal from the Mexicans I know that voted for him, I think a lot of people convinced themselves that he was only going to go after the “illegal” by THEIR definition Hispanics; Guatemalans and Venezuelans that are bad at “working hard” and it was going to free up resources for their hard working, attempting access via legal means, family members to enter. I tried to explain why this wouldn’t be the case but it fell upon too many deaf ears. Your anecdotal evidence might vary from mine though!

I read this as you guys agreeing - religious designations are arbitrary, you guys are just saying it from different POVs

Hmm who has well documented ties to this administration and would be happy with the downfall of America as a world power? This is one I’ll have to Putin the ol’ think tank for a while

Somebody failed the test

Yeah, we do

Agreed! The league is better with Wemby in it.

Can’t believe they finally got rid of him. What a horrible move by the Suns, wasted Durant and prime Booker (who is despise).

He read it in the article that was posted is what we’re all saying. Why don’t you read it? That’s what his comment was referring to, because he commented on the article. Hope this helps!

Pakistan is all brown people everywhere? Nobody criticizes America as a whole?

kinda feels like you’re making that up tbh

Just FYI a comment isn’t an article, you gotta click on the link at the top of the page and read the article, which is what he’s suggesting you read. That’s where you can find the details.

I’ve been waiting for over a year now for my dad to send me his source for “the new information that’s come out about the vaccines” when he asked me if I regretted getting it yet…

Nancy was the throat goat, my biggest regret in life is that I wasn’t alive when she was absolutely hoovering the entire cabinet so I’ll never get to experience it for myself

My take on this is, why hide? The mere presence of a police car typically makes people behave in traffic, and if they don’t then they can still get nabbed. Wouldn’t it be better to be visible and a looming threat without the profit incentive of just getting people for tickets?

They make me wet, which is kinda the same

Go Bills, fellow Reddit expat and I definitely miss just getting news posted about the team and Lemmy is nowhere near that level of activity. I’ve ended up just going back to old.Reddit and browsing new here and there - no commenting, not logged in, so it’s not nearly as time consuming as it used to be. Hopefully someday people will use Lemmy for stuff like this!
