So the people in cities should just be worth less when they vote? It's a federal vote for a federal office, everyone in the country should count the same.

The individual states already have their own powers which make sure the federal government doesn't make decisions that are bad for those states. And each county and town have their own governments that pass local laws.

I've also heard this argument so many times but I haven't heard any actual examples.

Democrats complaining about it are the reason Biden dropped out. Weak whataboutism

Hey that's me!

reason: lemmy.ml rule 1 ("butt hurt")

I'm not really butt hurt. I'm actually a mod myself, but for a tiny community that doesn't get a bunch of awful comments. I really do have respect for the amount of garbage the mods in worldnews@lemmy.ml and memes@lemmy.ml have to go through. Most of the comments they remove are completely valid.

But this is a meme sub so...

What the heck did you just hecking say about me, you little mod? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the lemmy.world Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda.ml, and I have over 300 confirmed comments. I am trained in gorilla shitposting and I'm the top sniper in the entire fediverse armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another mod. I will wipe you the heck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my hecking words. You think you can get away with saying that poopy to me over the Internet? Think again, meanypants. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the fediverse and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, picklebrain. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your modlog. You're hecking over, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can comment at you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in verbal combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the lemmy Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable bubblebutt off the face of the Internet, you little bozo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" mod action was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your hecking finger. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goshdarn dumbo. I will poop butthurt comments all over you and you will drown in it. You're hecking done, kiddo.

It's "Gays Against Groomers", a far right anti LGBT group that spreads disinformation. The LGB Alliance is a (imo and others opinion) transphobic group that doesn't want to be grouped with or defend trans rights.

Horror movie idea, this concept but when the second humans arrive, they find the human civilization that got there first was wiped out before they got there and they don't know why.

I think it's open to interpretation. Like you could take it at face value of just a funny comic about lions and gazelles.

At a deeper level though, it's about the ones in charge placating their victims by giving them something that won't actually help them out of their bad situation. And also maybe that knowledge without action won't change anything. That kind of situation and lesson could be applied to so many things, like rich people telling poor people to go to college to get degrees that don't actually help enough with pulling themselves out of poverty because in reality the game is rigged.

Stuff like that, but that's just my interpretation.

So now I have to pay to see ads for Intel?

Seriously though, I think this is great. With it being one of the top results when searching for benchmarks, and how biased it's become, it would be great if better sites can overtake it

Omg at first I thought this was two people getting married with PayPal as the wedding officiant.

Congrats to the happy couple tho lol

A lot of these streaming companies are just cable companies who needed to change their business to keep up, but don't want to change their predatory practices

It's 2023 and we're still doing this? It's pretty obvious neither is objectively better, stop being so loyal to companies and their products.

I'm so surprised. The GOP?? Never, this is shocking. I'm blown away right now. But Republicans care about kids, and the drag queens are the groomers /s

My mom found porn on my computer in high school so my parents decided it would be a good idea to sit the whole family down and talk about what she found and what new restrictions the Internet would have for us all.

Turns out that restrictions on porn for high schoolers don't work and just make them more... creative. That was my first taste of learning about IT haha so maybe I should actually thank them.
