Yes I definitely assume that. Maybe not every single person since who knows what goes on in people's heads, but generally we should expect the voters for the two left of center parties to prefer the other left of center one to the right wing one. Particularly since presumably if there was a single party representing those voters it would probably be somewhere in between them ideology-wise.

Haha at least one person enjoyed it, it's getting hails of downvotes in every instance.

"When corrected" is doing a lot of work there

Oh no they'll contaminate some glass and plastic that have been thrown away!

This will cause me to torrent the Amazon shows I want to watch even though I'll likely still have access to an Amazon account to watch them on.

We're in one of the best times to be alive in history and the world is still getting better in many ways, I just try to feel grateful for that when I see something that's bad or getting worse.

Yeah just go ahead and put them in the metal / glass / plastic recycling, they will figure it out on that end with all the others that get thrown in there.

This is why the alien entity in the Expanse was called the Protatomolecule

Reddit removed downvotes?

I think the big thing is not having any requirements to join, you just make an account and you're in. I started out trying to join a different instance and the second I saw a list of questions to answer I noped out and came here.

That doesn't make any sense. If I'm instantly transported 2 feet to my left I'm still going to be in the same room, not in outer space. Maybe you're thinking of this issue with time travel?

Meaning you're on a space station right now?

In the general election the "feasible" candidate is always the Democratic nominee, so you should never have any argument about it at that stage. Meanwhile in the primary people try to use that sort of "feasibility" / electability argument against farther left Dems, but it is total nonsense and can be completely ignored at that stage.

And it's a disaster in Canada. The only reason the Conservatives ever take power up there is because of the giant vote split between NDP and the Liberals. Look how the conservatives are heavy favorites to win their next election despite every poll showing them with less than the combined votes of the Liberals and NDP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_45th_Canadian_federal_election

Lately I've just been rewatching the final episode of the previous season before starting a new one. I'm a little lost in that episode but by the end I'm following along, and it's usually an exciting finale episode that gets me excited to watch the next episode.

I basically just eat whatever I feel like whenever I feel like it. Lots of meat and fat and salt. Seems to work great, I'm reasonably skinny and healthy. To the extent I'm not just getting randomly lucky I think I've stumbled into something in the Atkins diet genre, with unlimited calorie and nutrient dense foods not being an issue because they fill me up when I've had enough.

I think lemmy skews a lot older than reddit, we are reliving our internet youth

It can't quite get brutalist buildings to look as good as non-brutalist buildings, but yeah painting them is a great move that really improves the vibe.

I was on Mastodon starting soon after Musk bought twitter, and bluesky few the last few months. Mastodon is a lot more similar to lemmy in terms of being part of the fediverse, while bluesky sort of claims to be going for a federated thing of its own but so far is pretty much just a centralized server like twitter so far. Perhaps because of that, I find bluesky a lot more engaging and more similar to pre-Musk twitter. A lot of the choices the Mastodon creators implemented were deliberately reducing virality and "one big chatroom" feel that I at least liked about twitter. I wasn't looking for those changes, just a microblogging social network not owned by fascists.

So basically if you want something like lemmy go with Mastodon, if you want something old twitter go with bluesky.

I'll forever be in mourning that Signal shot themselves in the foot and stopped functioning as an SMS app replacement
