Not until now where they've been getting bomb threats to SCHOOLS and HOSPITALS.

The votes left to get (amongst registered) are leftists who are still struggling to vote for a candidate who supports a genocide.

I can't tell if you're being genuine and clueless or malicious.

Let's assume you're the former first. WaPo did a pretty cool piece with undecided swing voters during the debate. It resulted in a small but significant shift left. You can check it out here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/interactive/2024/presidential-debate-voter-poll/

Unfortunately, I'm going to assume the latter. To quote Kamala, "This is the same tired old playbook" the Russian troll farms trotted out when Biden was in the race. I'm not sure if you're one of those that fell for it or if you're a troll yourself, but it's not working anymore. If Trump were in office, he'd gleefully tell Netanyahu to bomb Palestine out of existence. If this is going to be a talking point, at least discuss it in good faith.

People won't switch from driving to cycling over this. They'll just pick one of the several dozen other car manufacturers.

The barely above minimum wage manager doesn't make these decisions and all you gain from screaming at him is bringing down the mix of everyone around you.

The best way to handle this is to not shop at Kroger. Not when they start doing it. Now. Kroger won't get my money until they publicly admit this is a bad move and walk it back before it happens.

Maps. There's still unfortunately nothing better.

Went under about two years after the crowdfunding. Guess people didn't want to pay $2 a pop for chilled and filtered tap water.

I think you're confusing her with Nancy Pelosi.

Elizabeth Warren has introduced legislation to prevent members of Congress from trading stocks.

Why are you using r/videogames as an example to make this claim?

There are at least two more subs that are wildly more popular and have much more activity and substantial posts and commenting.

  • videogames - 293k subscribers
  • Games - 3.3m subscribers
  • gaming - 40m subscribers

I am subbed to both of those last two and didn't even know the first one existed because it's offshoot trash.

This feels like a hasty "solution" to an invented "problem". Sure, Wikipedia isn't squeaky clean, but it's pretty damn good for something that people have been freely adding knowledge to for decades. The cherry-picked examples of what makes Wikipedia " bad" are really not outrageous enough to create something even more niche than Wikia, Fandom, or the late Encyclopedia Dramatica. I appreciate the thought, but federation is not a silver bullet for everything. Don't glorify federation the way cryptobros glorify the block chain as the answer to all the problems of the world.

Does it have a spell-checker?

Google is not a search engine. It's an advertising service. Their whole business model revolves around a critical mass of eyeballs, which flock to free services. This will never happen for the average user.

The same reason people aren't going for Lemmy.

Aside from the fact that the Fediverse is an incredibly confusing concept to the average user, those same users are entrenched and connected to everyone they already want to be connected to on the same platform. Until they are essentially forced to move, they'll stay on Twitter. The people on Lemmy and Mastodon right now are a tiny but vocal minority compared to the massive userbases of the platforms they abandoned.
