Most of the beautiful places in the US are either places nobody lives, or Northeastern cities (and mostly rich parts, even if the ugly parts aren't due to car dependency.) Now, the US isn't densely populated, so "places nobody lives" is a lot. But there's still a problem when so much of the built environment is ugly

Maybe it has to do with where I live (relatively dangerous US city) but I'd rather not see anything newsworthy when I go outside.

It's probably inevitable, but...circlejerk subs are a scourge.

PS1, but I don't have a definitive answer for which game.

Not necessarily in all countries, but in the USA I'd say all Republicans are fascist, or at least complicit in the spread of fascism. The conservative wing of the Dems, nah.

I swear I've actually heard that in some TV ads (US) but most of the country's population doesn't have the option of not driving vehicles

Beginning of the day and after my last meal of the day, plus before I take a nap if I do (they feel funny if I don't)

As a mixed race American, Ashkenazim and ADOS....keep believing that "more civilized" crap from the Europeans, and the Nazis have already won.

Tankies are pro-authoritarian but not pro-corporate.

Lemmy's creators were part of a community that got banned IIRC (ChapoTrapHouse)

That the American right are fucking morons.

ow the edge

I think a better question is "what do the nudes you like look like?"

Like, if you're a straight male you're never going to be turned on by your own nudes but I know for the majority of straight men they aren't looking at just closeups of vaginas or boobs. Translate that to the male body.

Personally I want the Fediverse to become the norm. So that means not having an opinion on what sort of content I do/don't want. I get why people like the "secret club" vibe but secret clubs of smarter-than-average people don't make the world a better place. Letting the masses do what they always did in a better way does.

That's not to say I'm pro-Threads; I don't think gaining users through a single massive server which will be the way 90% of users engage with the Fediverse and can kneecap other servers that don't follow their rules (which particularly worries me because of their ban on porn; I think most popular Fediverse servers ban porn, but not all, and with Facebook it's clearly in the name of "advertiser friendly") is healthy growth for the idea of federation.

And the government isn’t the only monster.

Very important. Otherwise you become a Libertarian or a Theocrat.

USA:

• Prison slavery abolished
• Elected judges with term limits
• Ranked Choice Voting
• Bodily autonomy as a right (no banning abortions, gender transitioning, bionics)
• Separation of Church and State as the actual law of the land
• Add federal referendums, all constitutional amendments are referendums (but amendments still require 75% of the population)
• Districts are now no bigger than 50,000 people and they all get a representitive, and all the recognized Amerindian tribes also get their own reps (an agreement was made with the Cherokee for them to get one but it was never fulfilled)
• 2nd Amendment replaced with something that directly allows federal government to regulate but not ban firearms.

A problem with these kind of alternative websites (not just the Fediverse but definitely including it) is that their users often have conflicting desires for their website to grow as big as the original while also wanting to maintain a smaller and usually smarter (or at least more techy) userbase, dreading the idea of an eternal September.

Personally I get it, but I think mass adoption of the federated model would ultimately do more for the world. Lemmy being small might be better for talking about combatting the corporations, but Lemmy becoming the norm over Reddit (which I'll admit I think is unlikely and certainly carries it's own issues to figure out) would actually weaken the corporations.

Does the 87% include school buses or were people who took the school bus a bigger outlier than I thought?

Biden is at least nominally pro-union (he isn't really pro-union, but nominally.) Trump is overtly anti-union.
