[Request] If you don't live in a swing region/state, better to vote third party than waste your vote on an almost certain outcome. Yeah?
  • Did we learn nothing from 2016? Until the Electoral College is replaced, third parties are nothing but spoilers for federal elections. No state can be truly taken for granted. See Georgia, etc. in 2020.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • This was...a bad decision. Quite frankly, they are abdicating responsibility with a sophomoric "not it!" when it comes to finally doing what the 14th requires. I wouldn't say it rises to the level of the Bush v. Gore decision at the turn of the millennium, but it is quite close.

  • What is a story were the main villain actually turned out to be the good guy?
  • I kinda think this about the Separatists in Star Wars...Dooku aside...

  • Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024
  • Indeed. I installed FreshRSS on my local server and haven't looked back. Man, did I ever miss the web of the google reader era.

  • A Death at Walmart
  • Foodservice, Food Processing, and Retail NEED mandatory paid sick leave. The fact that they don't, with the inevitable public health consequence, is gross to say the least. Aside from that note, any corp with as much power as Walmart needs to be broken up and/or unionized, pronto.

  • Joe Biden Plans To Slash Bank Overdraft Fees To As Little As $3
  • It is exactly that....exploitation. I hope that I see this come to pass. While they're at it, they could give the Payday/Title loan industry a public spanking for good measure.

  • [Iowa] Evangelicals on Trump: "God looked down on his planned paradise and said, 'I need a caretaker,' so God gave us Trump."
  • Their theology is as bad as their choice of political candidate. I cannot think of any other politician that embodies the "Seven Deadly Sins" in public/private life moreso than Mr. Trump. I honestly do not get how the same "conservatives" used to crow about character being of the highest importance for an officeholder/candidate during the 90s, can get on this godawful bandwagon. I still am a Christian and live my life rather "conservatively", but if this is what Christianity and Conservatism has become, it is no wonder the next generation is saying "Count me out...".

  • Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?
  • Same here, but I've also set up a Pi Zero W to run pihole/unbound at the inlaws place without any issue.

  • In a Setback for Beijing, Taiwan Elects Lai Ching-te as President
  • Good. Taiwan may have once been a province of China, but with over half a century of self-rule it is time to stop pretending that this is still the case. Hong Kong is a very good example for what "reunification" would mean for Taiwan even in the best of cases.

  • Top comment decides next move, legal or not | day 70: C7 tries to promote to queen but turns into a MissingNo due to save corruption
  • White rook at H1 applies pacman topology, going backwards to take black rook at H8? Black knight at G8 is startled, and kicks the new white rook next to it in the groin.

  • Where the hell does wind begin??
  • Wind has many sources from a meteorological/climatological standpoint. Breaking wind, however, is a biiiiit more specific.

  • I have fire arms therefore you are wrong
  • Looks like an awesome idea....until your nose begins to itch...

  • DeSantis doubles down on support for Tuberville amid ongoing military holds
  • Of course DeSantis supports the third senator from his state.
    /s

    Tubberville no longer lives or does business in Alabama. How so many of my fellow citizens saw this guy and voted for him over Doug Jones I'll never understand...or forgive.

  • Privacy Respecting Ring Doorbell Equivalent?
  • A RPi option is likely your best bet. I'm currently building my own setup using MotionEye and a few Pi Zeros. I'll be looking into different software since Motioneye is no longer updated though. Just FYI, I'd avoid the v3 camera module for now, as a lot of software doesn't support it yet and it can't use the legacy camera stack.

  • I like my [character from the best movie of 1999] like I like my coffee.
  • Roasted, placed in a freezer, and ready to be ground up later?

    The Beehaw project is entering some significant challenges
  • As a kbin.social user, we would all be diminished if Beehaw were to defederate. If I were to ever move instances from a kbin to a lemmy platform, it would be over to you guys. I hope that you guys are able to find the help you need to keep going as part of the wider fediverse.

  • College students are still struggling with basic math. Professors blame the pandemic
  • Long-term, shortcuts will still hamper learning. However, there is still a lot to be said about the over-reliance on testing in education in general. It, unfortunately, is a system that even educators must operate in without any real input. You likely will be surprised what you can do with a little guidance in a self-paced situation. What was that Mark Twain quote here - "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education."

  • Fauci defends masking as COVID cases rise: ‘I would hope’ people abide by recommendations
  • The "you can't tell me what to do!" contingent won already. Intelligent people, OTOH, will still mask up when COVID cases rise and they can't avoid "people-y" situations.

  • Woman upgrades house for $12K and gets evicted by landlord
  • Dealing with a landlord is just like dealing with HR at work - they aren't there for YOU. The tenant here wasn't stupid, just naive. Besides, from a liability standpoint, a tenant should NEVER do any property upgrades or repairs without some kind of written agreement (and hopefuly waiver of liability). If something goes wrong, guess who will be on the hook financially when it goes to court? Hint: The landlord turned plaintiff won't be it....
