Non US citizens, what's the weirdest thing about USA elections, compared to elections in your country?

Jump

  • Yes. In the UK, our elections are always on Thursdays. No one has ever complained about it because it's literally not an issue.

    The idea that it's an attempt at disenfranchising people because you have to vote either before or after work is laughable.

    • Are there any modern phones using passive-matrix (ie monochrome) LCD displays?

    Jump

  • TCL make those NXTpaper phones, but I have no idea if they're any good.

    • What's Preferred web browser for phone?

    Jump

  • Vivaldi.

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Oh no, not pro-Israel. How awful.

    I mean, the AI aspect of these is really quite obvious when you look at the hair. Especially the guy with the long beard.

    • Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years

    Jump

  • You just need to stop watching Netflix and buying avocado toast.

    At least that's what old people say anyway.

    • Linux hits exactly 2% user share on the October 2024 Steam Survey

    Jump

  • The whole of those 2% are on Lemmy.

    How do I know? Because they really like to tell you about it.

    • If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump?

    Jump

  • How would he win it through fraud? If he wins, he'll win legitimately.

    Claiming that it's fraud if he wins is exactly what Trump did in 2020.

    • Microsoft made me sign in on their Xbox Accessories app to update the firmware on my controller

    Jump

  • The exceptions being the Astro Bot games, because the sounds tie in to the haptic feedback.

    Jump

  • Well, in the case of the Dualsense on PS5, they've made changes to improve things like haptic feedback, controller volume output from the speaker, better noise cancellation on the mic (though I doubt anyone uses that) and if you have the latest PS5 models (pro or non-pro), you now have adaptive charging.

    • Happy Diwali and Halloween everyone!

    Jump

  • I was literally sitting here wondering why there were fireworks going off on Halloween, and then I saw this post. 😂

    • Carl Pei says Nothing could build its own operating system | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Well, I'll show him because I'll build one!

    Oh wait, that's the company name. Never mind.

    • Google why?

    Jump

  • Wait until you find out that Android 16 is coming out in Q2 2025.

    • Been thinking this for over a decade

    Jump

  • What? Don't you get like 16 hours to vote on polling day?

    We have elections on Thursdays in the UK and no one claims not having the whole day off is "voter supression" because you've got plenty of time to vote and it only takes five minutes.

    • What do you like/dislike about lemmy?

  • Did you know that wanting to browse cat pics is just a distraction from the oppression of late stage capitalism by the bourgeoisie?

    • What do you like/dislike about lemmy?

    Jump

  • Or that they just want to get away from politics for five minutes.

    • Stay numb

    Jump

  • I think this describes most of Lemmy, which explains why this place is full of miserable bastards.

    • An Update from PlayStation Studios (Neon Koi and Firewalk Studios are closing)

    Jump

  • I guess Concord isn't coming back as free-to-play then.

    • Dear Americans, how do you go back to normal after such an election campaign?

    Jump

  • If they treat you badly, cutting them out of your life is fine. No one should put up with that from anyone.

    But cutting people out of your life purely because they vote differently to you is just weird and petty.

    Jump

  • Okay, you're clearly a terminally online person.
