Mate, the article links to the study, rather than be pedantic about the title you could read the study and figure out how they did the math yourself.

It is 2025, and we are talking about an election that is happening in 2028. The primary isn't even on most people's radar. If we can't criticize candidates now, precisely when is it appropriate to level criticism at politicians?????

Your source indicates he is still running, but unless I'm missing something makes no mention of endorsements. Do you have a source for that?

Fun fact: the fruit was named before the color.

Just wanted to say, huge props for editing the post and title when you found out it was debunked. That's so important and too many people just don't take that step when they learn, so upvoted for that

The article says Adams is running as an independent, and that Cuomo has the option and is looking into it! It's not decided.

Thanks for teaching me something new!

Also your username is very apt for this thread.

This is the first time I've seen or heard the phrase "pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will." I quite like that, thank you for exposing me to it.

Could you elaborate? I'm a music teacher and it checks out to me.

C4 up a 5th is G4, then up a fourth is C5. C4 to C5 is an octave.

Two octaves is a 15th. In music when the composer wants you play up an octave, they write (typically) 8va. When they want you to play up two octaves, they write (typically) 15va.

.World admins have pretty strict policies against advocating for violence of any form is what I believe they are referencing.

For that to happen, society needs to be structured in a way that the benefits of greater productivity is distributed to everyone, particularly those most in need.

I sure as hell don't see that happening anywhere at the moment. Productivity has grown steadily since I entered the workforce - my paycheck sure as hell hasn't reflected that.

I remember learning about the Rwandan genocide in high school. We learned how the world was well aware of what was going on, but every nation and the UN refused to use the word "genocide" because that meant they had a legal obligation to do something. I remember wondering how on Earth all of the developed nations of the world witnessed this and did nothing; how was there not more outcry?

And now here we are, living through a very similar scenario. History repeats itself yet again.

I think it entirely depends if the next wave of democrats in charge of governance make any kind of considerable effort to embrace the working class and improve the economic conditions for the average person. As time has shown, they just never fucking do when they're in charge. That's why the pendulum keeps swinging further and further to the right - the democrats promise better and cannot remove themselves from their corporate donors enough to actually improve the country for the average person. So when their lives continue to get materially worse under democrats, voters once again swing to the right hoping for a change, only for things to get worse faster and the cycle to continue.

I'm hoping things are bad enough this time for democrats to actually do something. I'm not holding my breath, though.

The metal straws I own came with a brush that's the right size to clean them.

I did the same one and did select the crocodiles, which passed. I suspect the captcha has less to do with correct answers and more to do with analyzing mouse movements or something like that

This is so cool, happy birthday lemmy.zip!

Thanks for hosting this awesome instance!

I would love to see what the discourse would've looked like if they had the internet back then.

Your first conversation with someone is the time that it is least embarrassing to ask their name again - I always make a point to go over names multiple times in the first conversation and just re ask names if I've forgotten any.
