Shit like this is why Lemmy isn't a complete replacement for Reddit: nowhere to get away from pretentious blowhards.

CSAM is the reason I wouldn't consider self hosting tbh. I fear it could result in me having hundreds of GBs worth of the stuff without me even noticing.

Who's going to stop you?

Anyway, US politics affects the whole world. I hate a lot of the commentary coming from particular regions (Western Europe, Australia, Canada) but it still affects them.

I'm no combat expert, but I've heard some people say numbers don't win modern wars so a draft isn't necessary.

With China in particular it would be poking the bear; recruitment is on the decline in both China and USA.

Huh? Source on this? Their latest arcade board line uses Intel CPUs and nVidia GPUs. That's the only hardware they make right?

Facts. This is just facts. Not even unpopular facts really, maybe something most people don't realize.

State level systems. Some Canadian provinces had universal healthcare before Canada had it nationwide.

Enthusiast grade = Most powerful, most features

Professional grade = Most durable

Executive grade = Schmucks think it makes you look important

I cannot be friends with DeSantis supporters. Even moreso since I live in a major city in a US state where, despite being a swing state, DeSantis' ideas have proven a losing position (Doug Mastriano pledged to make PA "the Florida of the North." That's how the Democratic nominee won that year.)

And referring to all your sports competitions as World Championships when the only teams that play are American.

That's literally only Baseball (and they did it for marketing,) and baseball happens to be the North American sport with the most popular international championship, the World Baseball Classic (actually I don't know whether WBC or Olympic Hockey is more popular, but Hockey has a separate international championship from the Olympics.) The Football championship is called the Super Bowl, the Basketball championship is called the NBA Finals, the Hockey championship is called the Stanley Cup.

I don't disagree (or at least there should be a disc drive-included version and the ability to connect any USB Blu-Ray drive,) but obviously GameStop has a motive here.

And I think disc based games should have a legal requirement to have a playable version of the game on disc.

USA:

• Prison slavery abolished

• Elected judges with term limits

• Ranked Choice Voting

• Bodily autonomy as a right (no banning abortions, gender transitioning, bionics)

• Separation of Church and State as the actual law of the land

• Add federal referendums, all constitutional amendments are referendums (but amendments still require 75% of the population)

• Districts are now no bigger than 50,000 people and they all get a representitive, and all the recognized Amerindian tribes also get their own reps (an agreement was made with the Cherokee for them to get one but it was never fulfilled)

• 2nd Amendment replaced with something that directly allows federal government to regulate but not ban firearms.
