My grandma was a staunch socialist but unfortunately an overwhelming majority of her peers vote(d) red

I wish we could trick the elderly into not voting…

Oh so you’ve noticed the uptick in “don’t vote” posts, too?

I agree and I’ve noticed it it’s gotten worse over the past 6 months. I figured there was another reddit exodus.

I would be happily surprised to learn that any of those sites could actually support the traffic this generated

So that debt the state is paying for…why do you think NYC had it in the first place?

Even with this “offloaded debt,” NYC citizens receive less for their tax dollars than the rest of the state

I’ve unfortunately had the same experience as you, I’d say at least 2/3 of my office is pro-AI.

WHAT HAS THIS COMMUNITY BECOME?

Is this just an opinion sub now? What is the point

Why is this community suddenly filled with these open-ended opinion requests? What is the point of having a separate community from asklemmy?

The fediverse is falling into the same “eh, close enough” trap that homogenizes communities. Look at nostupidquestions, it’s already a general questions community devoid of uniqueness

“I’m only kinda miffed about the horrors happening in the world”

Is mildlyinfuriating really the right place for this

What does Scotland have to say about Mr. Beast

So barely being connected to Germany counts as being “produced” by it?

Hitler was born in Austria to Austrian parents and was raised in Germany, sure. You can blame his German upbringing.

But Trump was born in New York. So was his dad. And his mom is from Scotland.

Thiel was born in Germany but his family moved in South Africa when he was an infant and then moved again to the US before he was a teen.

Oh no no, they have NOT been riding this wave well.

Microsoft and Google have each invested like 200 billion into AI crap and Google wound up with a MUCH better product.

Apple has invested like 10% of that, choosing instead to outsource. IMO they are the real winners here (of the previously-established tech giants)

My prediction is that Anthropic will “win” the AI arms race in the US but it won’t really matter because Deepseek continues to one-up them and OpenAI’s bankruptcy will destroy the economy anyway

For something like this it definitely is

Fair enough but my point still stands. People aren’t gonna figure out why it’s happening without being taught to do it themselves so yeah Americans would drive right through

Bike messenger are the real police. They’ll give a homeless guy a sandwich a then turn around and beat the shit out of a pickpocket.

You do not fuck with bike messengers, they’re pissed off at the world and right to be. Plus they know all the escape routes.

You’re right we should all just go back to the centralized mainland of censorship

Well yeah… Because it doesn’t look like people are making room for an emergency vehicle lol

Without context I wouldn’t know what was going on here. US law tells you to pull over to the same side so my first thought wasn’t emergency vehicles. I couldn’t blame a US driver for not knowing German road law
