People don’t vote because they see the system is rigged so the popular vote isn’t a great standard to go by either, it’s a product of the system as well
My area is such a strong republican district that my vote is functionally irrelevant aside from the president. Hell, they didn’t even bother with democrat candidates on a local level.

and more political just in general, actually
Yeah, that’s pretty much the only part of Lemmy I really don’t like. It feels drastically more political than Reddit did. I didn’t even know what the hell a tankie was before I joined Lemmy.
Who knows?
This stuff just happens sometimes.
I remember Tokyo by Imagine Dragons wasn’t available on Spotify for a few years. No clue why, but it just reappeared one day.
TIL. That’s actually really cool info!
Double up. Assert dominance. Demand to be referred to as ‘Mister Doctor’. Hmm… ‘Doctor Mister’? I think I like Mr. Dr. better.
Boners are largely age dependent. I remember in high school I got random boners all the time and anything could trigger them.
100%. I remember sometimes they’d happen in church of all places. No clue why, but like clockwork the choir would start and bam. Tip for anyone with this problem currently: flex your legs hard and repeatedly. Always worked for me.
I didn’t see much of it except for one burst where Hexbear was getting rowdy with my instance- that was… annoying.
There was some drama I don’t recall the specifics of but it apparently angered Hexbear enough that I started seeing a lot of them in basically every comment section.
Huh? You’re opening your browser, and going to amazon.com and it redirects you to the app?
I’m assuming you’re on mobile. Try using your browsers incognito/private browsing feature- you’ll probably have to login again but it should prevent app redirects like that.
Did he want to be fired without being cremated? I can’t imagine someone wanting to be splattered everywhere lol
He can travel as a proper national leader to all the places he wants to travel
Unless he wants to travel to a place willing to enforce the ICC’s arrest warrant. Afaik he’s only been to Mongolia and South Africa since the warrant was issued, and both were criticized pretty heavily for not enforcing it.
Realistically, he’s not going anywhere that even might arrest him.
Either way, if nobody is going to enforce an arrest warrant they’re not going to claim a bounty either.
Because A: putting a bounty on the leader of a nuclear power is drastically different from the leader of a… terrorist rebel organization(I’m not entirely sure what to call al qaeda).
And because B: it would change basically nothing. Putin already can’t travel in most places internationally because there’s an ICC warrant out on him for war crimes. The bounty isn’t going to be relevant in Russia or allied places, and it’s not going to be much of a motivator to an entire government.
Yeah, I don’t like Linus all that much but I do enjoy LTT’s content overall. He tends to drastically and publicly overreact to literally any criticism, and then the rest of the team gets involved and he walks it back. Whether they legitimately change his mind or just convince him he’s gotta look like he’s changed his mind I have no clue.
My favorite instances of Linus are when he’s an absolute idiot on the WAN show and we just get to see Luke’s reaction live. The hard-r thing was absolutely hilarious.
In 2022 he tweeted this.
That might be what you’re remembering, but he’s definitely addressed his views on piracy during the WAN show several times as well.
Edit: someone else posted the full context elsewhere in the thread. I’d link to that comment, but idk how on lemmy so here: https://archive.ph/VavFc
No. The owner of the media has already been paid in both of those scenarios. It makes zero difference to them whether you’re watching the ads.
Adblocking, on the other hand, is actively hurting the owner of the media because they get paid based on how many ads they can serve. If you block the ad, it isn’t served, and they don’t get paid.
Personally, I definitely think it’s piracy. I also still do it.
Installed, I love all the themes! Thanks!
It’s like… shockingly faster for me?
If I have to wait five whole minutes for fast food they’re either slammed or they’re having equipment problems. I can literally count on one hand the amount of times it’s happened in the last few years.
Tbf, though, I don’t eat fast food incredibly often. Maybe once a month.
