You conveniently ignored my other point regarding how much of the electorate actually counts, but sure.

He got the popular vote in 2024. Not against Hillary in 2017. That’s my whole point, this whole situation would not even be happening if the presidential election system in the US wasn’t such a mess.

I mean, my parents and their generation can, for the most part. The rest of us… are probably not even making it to retirement lol 🥹

No, they didn’t? Like only 1/3 of the states actually “matter” during an election because of the electoral college, and they are all gerrymandered to shit thanks to Republican redistricting efforts and suppressed via ID laws going all the way back to Reagan, if not earlier.

Voters are a convenient scapegoat, but remember, Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. There shouldn’t even have been a first Trump term in an actual representative democracy, and opposition Dems barely moved the needle to safeguard any future elections from another term of this shit.

Yeah no joke, when No Child Left Behind was implemented by Bush 2, I remember both my parents discussing how it’s gonna lead to a dumber society within a decade or two, in a “Our nursing home is gonna be run by morons LOL” kind of way. I was waaaay too young to actually understand what they were talking about, but damn were they right.

What happened with Firefox?

I think OP meant use Safari with the Apple’s Privacy Relay thing that hides your IP and generalizes location data into a larger area, not just regular “private mode” that Safari has. Too bad it’s subscription only on iCloud+, and who knows if it actually works as well as Apple claims it does.

I did not recognize Gianmarco here, holy shit he had a glow up

This is what I get when I talk to the Kyoto station attendant about my recent trip to Shanghai and how cool their trains were. Just fed lies 😔

Thanks for the correction

Why? Engagement is worthless on lemmy of all platforms…

Pretty sure the Shinkansen in Japan are also mag lev trains and go the same speed? Let’s chat trains.

Commenting pro-German sentiment with a .ml account is crazy work 💀

…Antarctica?

Cats are DEVASTATING to native rodent and bird populations in the “New World” ecosystems. There’s a reason their populations are controlled.

We are so cooked.

Can’t believe I forgot about the glorious green King of the Swamp. Forgive me.

Shrek is love. Shrek is life.

men on average think about sex about 8 times as much as women

Spontaneous thoughts of sex /= the entire spectrum of sexual desire.

They’ve done studies.

I’m not even gonna get into the sociological aspects of this, it’s a meme community.

A lot of my female friends are, for a lack of a better term, “woke” (not derogatory) and they have grievances with stuff Cavill has said in the past in regards to women and feminism. I’m not sure on the details, but it was enough of a turn off for them apparently. I have no skin in the game.

I love everyone in the comments trying to argue what is the objectively best min-max strats of going to the gym and finding a partner, as if Pyramid Head, Bowser, and Shadow the Hedgehog aren’t always topping the “God I wish they were real” lists for women. Girls are just as horny as guys, they just don’t show it outside certain spaces due to societal constraints.

Men, what I’m saying is: get into cosplay. Thank me later.

Henry Cavill. Look at women’s reaction to him, and tell us we’re wrong for wanting to include physical stature into our personal goals.

Most women I personally know actually aren’t that attracted to Henry Cavill. It’s the dudes that think he’s the perfect specimen.

That’s veeery hunky of you 😍

This is just not Lewis’ year 😭 Hoping Roscoe wakes up and pulls through
