white people resist making puns off Chinese last names challenge (impossible)

arguably ranked choice gave voters the confidence to pick the candidate that won an outright majority.

I have no clue what to do. I'm American. I'm trans. I voted for Harris. I live in a blue state. I've gone to protests. I've talked to state senators about legislation. I've canvassed. I've talked to Trump supporters and tried to get them to change their minds.

it all feels totally useless. nothing I've done has had any effect. my own mom voted for Trump three times. it's like being chained to an anvil and thrown overboard. I'm swimming but I'm still drowning.

I'll just have a cup of rain, thanks.

another day, another maximalist Lemmy take.

it was an art piece, not a serious product idea. they weren't pitching it to Trojan, all it purported to do was make a "statement."

Using "themselves" for a non-binary person or unspecified gender is grammatically incorrect.

It's "themself." (Unless they're plural.)

Also, "Latinx" is performative white ally cringe. It's not pronounceable in Spanish. Use "Latine." -e is the obvious gender neutral ending.

the content is better than I remember, having watched the video you linked. I guess I'm just cranky about the particular way that thumbnails and video titles have converged on YouTube.

isn't it dangerous to pack a plane full of lithium ion batteries? it didn't go so well for UPS 006.

The idea that, if all Trump supporters simply had access to better information, if they all had better education, if they were exposed to the right argument... then they'd see the light and turn into democrats - is a supremely liberal idea. We need to understand that no amount of epic slams, no amount of late night talk show roasts, no amount of facts and logic will steer us out of fascism.

Well said. And honestly, it's even counterproductive, because that assumption is a core reason why people view the establishment Left as patronizing and elitist.

It also reminds me of one of my favorite Onion videos: https://youtu.be/lpzVc7s-_e8 (I like Judith Butler, and I've even read some of Gender Trouble, but the premise and execution just gets me in stitches every time.)

so autism caused Musk to seig heil, and autism caused Teller to build doomsday devices. so basically Dr. Strangelove is autism's final form. (/s)
