Rather than trying to understand their pain, my opinion is that the US right wing voter is under the control of one of the largest propaganda networks in history. The evangelical church, the billionaires that own local TV stations (Sinclair), Fox News, AM radio, and now social media echo chambers have led to a complete epistemic closure of the American right. Facts cannot penetrate that wall. Science cannot penetrate that wall. No amount of Democrat messaging can penetrate that wall. Seeing something with their own eyes cannot penetrate that wall.
History teaches us that this kind of propaganda leads to a very bad ending. Civil war, genocide, authoritarian dictatorship... pick your poison. America needs to find a way to dismantle the right wing propaganda apparatus, without that I see no hope. (I know, doom and gloom.) I sincerely hope I'm wrong.
People who are unable to feel empathy for others outside of their "in-group". Racism, oppression, genocide, all of it stems from that same basic disorder. Unfortunately this is an all too common trait in humans.
Assuming he can convince someone that the 52 week high represents what the stock should be worth, that's a (181-130)*216 = $11,016 loss. What a joke. I hope he's laughed out of court and they have to pay Target's lawyers.
Governance Polls have a Decision Threshold that they must meet in order to pass. This is the minimum amount of weighted vote that the winning option must have for the poll to be considered approved by the community.
The Decision Threshold is set to a minimum of 10% of Points in a community and is updated algorithmically according to the activity on recent governance polls. As more votes are cast on Governance Polls, the Decision Threshold for future Governance Polls increases.
Governance Polls can be used to change distribution rules for Points or get input on other community decisions, such as content rules or flairs. They are enacted by Reddit in the case of distribution rules and the moderators for rules that require nuanced community input.
I mean, what do you say to this? They've gone completely insane.
It's always frustrating when these cases end up in the hands of Trump-appointed judges. More often than not they're ruling based on their ideology rather than the law.
Frailty. Starring and directed by the late, great Bill Paxton. 20 years later this one still sticks with me. Best to go in without knowing anything about the plot.
I also highly recommend https://theauthoritarians.org/ if you want to understand this entire movement towards authoritarianism. Graham is a textbook example of a spineless sycophant who will take on whatever beliefs are necessary to cozy up to an authoritarian leader.
Relay, Sync, and Boost. Why 3? Why not? They were all great in different ways. Relay for the gestures, Sync for the UX, Boost for an occasional change in pace. I enjoyed using all of them. Now that Sync is here for Lemmy I'm using that as primary, though I'll still keep Connect, Jerboa, Voyager, and Thunder around to change it up every so often. They're all great.
Any products that support Koch Industries. Horrible people.
