That's the important part. Only 5% regret their vote. Most people in this thread who are celebrating and laughing, only read the headline.

This kind of "told you so!" stuff and thinking they were untouchable is what led to the Democrats loss. And will again if people aren't careful. People need to stop thinking "Not Trump!", because that doesn't win elections. Dems need to come up with some good candidates who are more than just "not Trump."

That's what I'm talking about! This needs to be everywhere. Funny though, my local utilities already has it marked on their agenda to "discuss" these types of solar setups. They say they "may not be safe to use."

Actually the reality is that utility companies stand to lose money from tech like this. So hopefully my community and others can stand up for this tech.

His trip raised money for Natural High, an organization that encourages kids to be active and stay away from drugs and alcohol.

I love Idris Elba. They should just make him another spy from the same agency, in the same universe as James Bond.

The party is losing support poll after poll after poll, and they think attacking leftists is going to help.

Yep, just now, in another thread I was accused of being being propaganda. LMAO All because I said that back in 2024, Lemmy was even more hostile to people who criticized the Dem party than they are now. It was wrong to do then, and wrong to do now lol

Democrats just can not accept responsibility for what happened for some reason. It's always a blame game.

They need better candidates or shit's gonna get even worse. How hard is it to find someone under the age of 60, and who has independent forward-thinking ideas and cares about the public?! WTF?! I like AOC, but I am not hearing any talk of them putting her in the running, so no clue what they are gonna do. But election is only 2 years away. They need to start doing something.

I just did 43. Does that mean I can live forever?! yes!!!!

Yeah, and especially before the elections. I was here mid-2024. Holy shit, you have no idea how crazy it was then. People on Lemmy were so blinded by NotTrump!!!, that they would pounce on anyone who criticized the Democratic party.

I remember when Biden was starting to show bad signs of him not being all there mentally. Lemmy ignored it. Even during the famous presidential debate where it couldn't be ignored that he was not fit, Lemmy downvoted and removed posts about it. Until finally, the tide turned and everyone started to admit it. Then the Harris choice.

Now, it's pretty ok to criticize about how Harris was picked and how badly the Democratic party handled it. But at the time, oh hell no.

I remember being called a racist and a nazi for saying, "I don't know about Harris. She seems kind of bland and parrots Biden, I wish we had someone more independent." The shitstorm I got for that. People stalking me, downvoting all my posts, trying to find out where I lived, etc. DM's that told me to kill myself. Every day. All because I said Harris was a bland candidate. lololol

I had a guy trying to doxx me and find out where I lived by looking for clues in photos I posted of me walking in a park, so I had to change usernames and block all the political comms. Fucking crazy.

Even tho now a lot more people on Lemmy agree with things that match up to what I said then, not one single apology. Not one. Some of the people who openly attacked me, now even say the exact same things I said then.

I was "both parties suck" before it was cool. :)

Now having said that, if the democratic party can find a young person, with drive and who's independent and who really wants to changes things up, I could be on board. I like AOC. So her or someone like her would make me change my mind.

But until that happens, nah...both parties suck. lol

I'm loving this mission so far. Glad to see NASA making a comeback! They need more funding.

Seriously, what the fuck? I've known some fucked up clueless parents in my time, but no one who's stupid enough to give a toddler a fucking tattoo!

k

The only reason I exercise is to look good naked. I hate it, but do it every day.

Notice how neither side’s elected representatives really seem to give a shit about you?

THIS!!! Yet, Lemmys keep on mistakenly thinking that the Dem's have their backs. lol

Yep. And let's not forget, just as recently as a year ago, Lemmy would ban people for saying "both parties suck." And anyone who supported third-parties were pounded on and called russians and nazis. That still happens, but not as much anymore, thank goodness.

Finally more and more people here are starting to come around to realizing that neither the democrats nor the republicans want to help us plebs.

Both parties do suck and as long as people keep shooing away third-party voters, they'll continue to suck. Remember guys, the only reason third-parties are weak is because you all refuse to support them.

yeah, I think it would be fun! It's not like James Bond was the only one there

I don't have specific advice on an instances to move to, but you are totally correct to leave .world. Looks like things are gonna get worse on .world, and not better. But I'll follow the comm to where you decide to go. :)

Good points. I'll also admit I have a fear of electricity so I'd totally be scared. But my local utilities are not saying this because they are worried about our well being, they are worried about making less money.

That's a good point. Rich keep getting richer, poor keep getting poorer.

Mr. Gates said technological advances had truly stunned him three times: In 1980 when he first saw a graphical user interface, which led to the modern personal computer. In 2022 when the leaders of OpenAI came to his house to demonstrate what would soon become ChatGPT. And this year when he looked closely at the advances being made by Claude Code, Anthropic’s A.I. tool.

Coding, Mr. Gates said, is the subject he knows best, and Claude’s abilities shocked him. “The idea that now these things are in a meaningful sense better than I am is like: What the hell?” he said.

AI will either be the greatest equaliser ever invented, or the worst source of injustice,' Mr Gates said. 'Even under the best circumstances, the transition to this new AI era will be one of the most turbulent times in human history.'

I think it's the greatest equalizer ever invented. But corporate AI is trying to ruin things for everyone. Local-run and hosted AI is amazing though!
