Unless swing states are just chock full of lefties, what’s the point?

Hillary won the popular vote in '16 by several million, but we got Trump because of the electoral college and a swing state going for him.

Those are the people candidates are focusing on appealing to because they’re the ones that decide the election (and are a weak point in our democracy). And stamping ones feet and demanding to be catered to (or else they won’t vote), is selfish and short sighted when so much is at stake.

Until we get rid of or work around the electoral college, that’s basically the way it’s going to be (assuming we still have elections after 2024).

OMG thank you. I’ve been saying this for months.

Which time? (Sorry, couldn’t help myself. I need the small joys. )

There’s lots of good web-based apps. Definitely check out the community gedaliyah linked. I develop one of them, but I’m not here to plug it lol. If you see it and like it, great.

You’re on Lemmy World, and they do offer a few alternative web front-ends. Of the ones they offer, Photon is probably my favorite.

There’s also an app-directory at https://www.lemmyapps.com/ and you can filter by platform with web apps being a filter option.

Is this the one with the trillion dollar bill?

The non-profit I work for is pretty awesome, so I get election days off. Usually I vote first thing in the morning and then get hammered drunk (about the only times of the year I day-drink).

While traditions are fine and dandy, if you’re in my neck of the woods and need a ride to/from your polling place, I will stay sober and pick you up. No questions asked. If there’s time and you wanna stop at the grocery store on the way home, I’ll carry your groceries in for you. Whatever gets you out to the polls.

But I’m just so undecided. I mean, yeah, that sounds bad, really bad, but Biden is old and had one bad performance. Forget all the other recent events where he did well, I’m only able to focus on that one bad one. /s

This post is proof that comedy = tragedy + time is not always true.

Agreed. Instance blocking needs to be more granular. Blocking posts from one is great, but it doesn’t keep the peanut gallery there from brigading the comments.

Not counting chickens until they’re hatched, I guess?

The ex-president is ranting about low water pressure

Good lord, the shit gibbon needs to get some new material. The low flow toilet jokes have been out old (and irrelevant) for decades now.

“Ready to”? He’s already been planning to regardless of that SC ruling.

They’re like national-level county fairs that way.

Not sure if “CVS receipt layout” is a common term or not, but I’ve used it over the last 10 years or so.

It describes websites that have massive margins with the content displayed as a thin strip down the middle; everything on the side is just wasted space (or crammed with ads).

Receipts from the retailer CVS are a known joke where the smallest, single-item purchase will generate a receipt that’s 6 foot long because of all the ads, coupons, and other junk tacked on.

In the old days, it was a lazy way to make websites work on desktop and mobile. Now, it’s a lazy excuse for not doing responsive design and/or allocating massive amounts of space for ads. I hate it. lol.

Is Clarence Thomas okay, like upstairs? Does he just go around pointing at random things and screaming “Unconstitutional!” ? Is “unconstitutional” in the room with us right now?

Artist’s Rendition:

Watching people do masonry with the footage sped up is peak /c/oddlysatisfying.

That will probably look pretty gorgeous once those stream banks re-vegetate, even better if they landscape it a bit.

I finally relented and let spellcheck do it’s thing, but I will definitely remember that trick. Thanks!

Yup. Same.

Though I only have 3x 1080p ones so I have to fudge it and size the browser window across multiple monitors lol.
