Kamala Harris Asks Americans: Are You Really Going to Elect a Guy Who Has Good Things to Say About Hitler?

Jump

  • There is the autobahn... thankfully the US already has what is probably the best highway system in the world, so NOT a reason to elect Trump.

    • What's a technology that was cooler in its older iterations?

  • Replying to this just so people are less likely to accidentally scroll past.

    Completely agree, of course. I do miss Web 1.0, when you had to go to IRC, usenet, etc, for the "social" part.

    • TIL The Seattle Post-Intelligencer was named after a merge between The Seattle Post and The Daily Intelligencer

    Jump

  • I think this is pretty common. If your local newspaper has a hyphen in it, it probably used to be two papers.

    • Young women lean Democratic. Now the election may hinge on Harris’ ability to run up the score

    Jump

  • "Lean" is a terrifying word. Shouldn't they be pushing against it?

    • YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index

    Jump

  • Yes! Thanks, I had started to mention that and ended up with a huge run on sentence and it didn't make it through the editing process. 😅.

  • BMI is the best measure we have for statistical purposes (i.e., a population) because it's been around for 50(?) years and is what is often used in studies, so you can compare one study to another using BMI.

    It's also not terrible for a population because it averages out. But for an individual it is definitely not a good measure because there are way too many other variables that matter.

    • What's a niche Lemmy community you want more people to know about?

    Jump

  • If you do want to get into it, I suggest starting with Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks.

    Jump

  • Well, I started watching Star Trek TOS so I would get more of the memes on tenforward@lemmy.world 😅.

    I do like to browse by all instead of subscribed, which is a good way to discover more communities. Of course, I do have to block a lot of communities to avoid stuff I'm not interested in... which is basically just stuff in languages I don't understand and furries (speaking of niche communities, plenty of those). But I even enjoy seeing local posts from places in another country.

    Jump

  • Ya, I think the key is not to focus on niche communities, but more generic communities. e.g., someone mentioned a dead Morrowind community, but it's probably better to invest in a more generic gaming or maybe even pcgaming community.

    Lemmy just isn't that big and can't support many niche communities.

    That being said, I definitely see some niche communities regularly popup in my feed, so there are some active ones!

  • Not sure if it's gotten better in the last few years, but it's also incredibly slow. Like orders of magnitude slower than ext3 or HFS.

    Also quite a bit of Sonic 1 & Knuckles. i.e., the blue spheres game.
