A lot of people seem disappointed that Rose is a privileged untalented asshole now.

If it’s any consolation, he’s always been that way. Here’s episode 1 of his first show “The Broken”, where his genius hack is to steal someone’s pickup order from a restaurant: https://youtu.be/tNjoo9TuCHY

I don’t see where this is being paid for with tax dollars. It looks like it’s all privately funded to me.

10 percent of registered voters still report “undecided” in polls, and more than half of them won’t actually vote in November.

What’s the point in pretending that these people don’t exist?

Welcome to Lemmy. Everyone here is convinced they know the solution to this conflict, mostly because they don’t know anything about this conflict short of what they learned on social media in the past year.

Yes, this land was contested for hundreds of years before the Nakba. It has been home to Jews and Arabs, with both groups in opposition to each other for a very long time.

If you think that today’s conflict is unique and unrelated to the history of this region, you’re not against misinformation, you are against learning anything that might challenge your overly simplistic anti-Zionist views.

The issue is that people fundamentally don’t understand what power they actually have in this election. People are tired of a two-party dichotomy, and that is understandable, but the assignment in three weeks is to decide between Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. One of those two people will become president for the next 4 years. There are no alternatives, even if there are technically other parties on the ballot, if you are actually hoping to influence the results of the election in your favor, you absolutely need to choose between one of the two ruling parties.

A growing number of leftists have decided that, even in the absence of any election reform that would actually break the two-party system, they want to protest against it, either by voting for inviable third party spoilers, or not voting at all.

All I can see is that people are either so stupid, they don’t understand the assignment, or they are so stupid they can’t figure out whether Trump or Harris is the lesser evil. Either way, anyone vocally demanding that people don’t for Harris is either stupid (if they consider themselves on the left), or evil (if they are actually rooting for Trump).

Wow, so you didn’t have schizophrenia, and you didn’t have the same problems as someone who did? Sounds about right, maybe you should understand what you’re talking about before you open your dumb mouth.

You don’t know the details, but you’ll call anyone who argues against keeping this person involuntarily committed for the rest of their life an “apologist”.

Sounds like you just worship the U.S. “justice system”, and get off on seeing people ruined by it, regardless of what’s justified.

why are you rooting for a confirmed attempted murderer?

She was found not guilty. Why do you want to punish the innocent?

Stabbing someone 19 times is horrible, but it is immaterial a decade later in determining whether or not that person requires psychiatric care. We know why she’s in there, but the legal system is saying she should continue being there even when nurses and the director of the psych hospital all say that she doesn’t require further involuntary commitment.

She was found Not Guilty by reason of insanity. If the psych hospital she’s been confined to for the past decade says she’s ready for supervised release, keeping her there as a punishment is flat-out unconstitutional.

Israel: mentioned by name in multiple 2,000+ year old religious texts describing the same region of the world

Leftists: “The entire concept of Israel was invented in 1948 by the British.”

Nobody said that the state of Israel has been around for 1,000 years, they’re saying conflict over the land of Israel (Southern Levant) has existed for 1,000 years. Actually, it’s more like 3,000 years.

If your chronology of events here starts in 1948, you’re omitting a shitload of context as to why rights over this region are so contested.

Okay. Defend it.

Look, every city has a Skid Row, and L.A.'s is the largest, but Seattle actually owns that term because they were a logging town, and pioneer square was where loggers used skids to pull cut logs from the bay (“skid road”).

Yeah, you see! Both sides! /s

NRA members who have daily murder fantasies involving humans?

This was a study in the UK where 92% of people use public healthcare, so I doubt it.

Rocket launches aren’t a significant part of humanity’s carbon footprint, and there’s not much risk of that changing even with a growing space industry.

Electricity generation and transportation, including aviation and shipping, represents 50% of global human emissions. Spaceflight is less than 0.5%.

Let’s pick our battles. We can build rockets and reduce our carbon footprint at the same time. More importantly, if we’re going to point fingers at carbon emitters, let’s actually focus on the industries actually doing significant harm.

Fun fact: When Harris and Sanders were both Senators, she voted closer to him than any other senator. That includes support for universal healthcare and climate action (and pretty much everything else the Greens claim to stand for).
