That doesn’t change anything I said. A significant portion of your population votes for them. Almost half of the voting population votes for them. You can’t ignore these facts.

The electoral college favors Republicans but the narrative that “no one really votes for Republicans” is fucking bullshit
Yes, they tend to lose the popular vote but even then % wise, it’s way closer than it should be.
The way you phrase it, makes it seem like they are a fringe group that through cheating manages to win even if they only have half as many votes as the Democrats.
They are popular even with, or perhaps actually because of, all of the racism, sexism and fascist tendencies. Do not downplay that.
Keep up the good work
You will be one of the Lemmy legends in the future
DotA and Dota 2
Also dune 2?
Isn’t it free up to a certain amount?
Also aren’t you able to create steam keys for free and resell them wherever you want and they won’t take a cut off those?
Still, not as many people listen to older bands even if they are fans and especially for older bands people tend to listen more in other mediums
Take any videoclip from YouTube for example of any of the greatest song that is a 3, 4, 5 decades old and it will have far less views than a mild reggaeton hit from last summer, even if the old song has had far longer to accumulate views
I mean, using these spotify metrics in comparison with all time greats is kinda flawed.
For example my band sold just as many tickets as Michael Jackson and the Beatles COMBINED in 2024.
I am not in a band.
Biden is bad in this subject. Trump would be massively worse not only here but virtually everywhere else too
Fuck in a way I also feel bad for the defense layers. Like I’m pretty sure none of the want to defend these rapist pieces of shit, but in a way they have to in order for the system to function properly. Imagine having to defend rapists and falsely accused “rapists” in the same way, with the same effort and determination. I’m sure I couldn’t do it
Fuck, why is it that almost everything that is bad in the US can be traced back to Reagan. It’s unbelievable
Yes. I mean I’m a man and I had no trouble understanding the post but for some reason it is very hard for some people
The point of the post is that if Trump had said that he wanted to kill every immigrant at gun point, there wouldn’t be any jokes or memes about it, because it’s a dangerous statement that would be taken seriously by anyone.
By making memes about him saying immigrants are eating dogs and cats, then we are “signaling” that what he said isn’t terrifyingly dangerous, we’re taking it as ridiculous and funny and not to be worried about. And that plays a role in normalizing all the stupid shit he has been saying.
As a disclaimer, Trump is a piece of shit and I am DEFINITELY NOT saying both sides are bad (I fucking hate that argument). But the argument in the post is a valid one. Of course there are also some upsides to the memes. First they are funny but they also cause those words to reach out to more people which hopefully has an effect in terms of voting against him
Let’s make it to 100 days!
Love your comments. Keep them up
Also if there’s a place to follow you, especially closer to the election let me know
I recently joined mastodon and follow almost no one there, so if you are there with these analysis definitely let me know
It’s all good share how much you want.
That sounds like a cool friend. Thank you for your recommendations as well :)
I see
Thanks anyway for the input
I realize now that you probably have like twice my age and I’m very much an adult. Which is pretty cool, don’t get me wrong :)
Noted
I don’t really listen to audiobooks but it’s always good to know.
Also what’s your opinion on the rest of the trilogy that neuromancer is part of? I have the second book as well as my gf bought it but she didn’t have the courage/will to actually read it after neuromancer. Just curious
And yes I’ll let you know how it goes :)
We got our own book club in this thread haha (at least what I read)
Hey!!
Contact is read!!
I really liked it. In a story about ET contact, the focus is basically almost 100% on humans but I actually liked the approach. Halfway there were some chapters where it went on some tangents and it seemed weird filler but by the end it all wrapped up rather nicely.
It was also a much easier read, having taken like 1/10 of the time Red Mars took me.
I’ll probably read Neuromancer next, even if my gf found it a hard read.
I was like ok that’s hot but for a record?? Then I realize that it says winter.
We’re so fucked
In 2020 Trump got 47% of the votes. Biden 51%. That’s the almost half that I’m talking about
