Who's down?
  • Double entendre. She's down, I'm down means he wants to smash or hook up. Down also refers to Downs syndrome.

    Prepare for Putin pivot to invade us, say Baltic states
  • I think most people are missing the strategy of modern Russian warfare. Is Russian going to roll tanks and soldiers into the Baltics this year? Probably not.

    Russia is using more of an asymmetrical approach to warfare with a ramp up. On the low end is the disinformation campaign. (News and religion: there are a lot of Orthodox in Latvia) Economic "Little Green men" Conventional warfare Nukes or the threat of nukes

    I'm the Baltics they are in the disinformation and economic section of the ramp up and are worried about escalation.

    Also note Russia goes up and down that ramp escalating and descalating as they did in Ukraine.

    Tyranny
  • I disagree with the conclusion. This makes a better case for separation of power so the person in charge can't look up the opposition

    Liberals Are Not Laughing About Jon Stewart's Jabs at Joe Biden
  • That's an interesting point. Jon Stewart's job isn't to get Biden elected. Just like Fox and MSNBC shouldn't be their job to get their respective candidates elected. He should present things as he sees it and the people should inform themselves to select the best candidate

    It's time to admit Lemmy has won the "the biggest reddit alternative" award, why it's time for all of us to consider supporting it (here's why) + reopening r/LemmyMigration
  • Which is interesting. On the early days of Digg it was the same demographic, although more politically center. Then in the early days of reddit the same thing happened. It was mostly Linux and tech. So having the same starting demo is not a bad thing, but the question is, will it grow to adopt others

  • I don't think you can draw a direct line from the statistics to economic policy. It may be more true that the voters for the Republican party are less educated and more rural in those counties

    Pew pew pew!
  • You say they spend it on TVs, cars, clothes, iPhones, whatever, like it's a bad thing. A good tv is only a few hundred so 3% of your 10,000. If someone is trying to improve their employment they will need new clothes, reliable transportation, and reliable communication. 10,000 for a car is not a good car, but enough to get to work on time. I agree that lowering the cost of essentials is good, but incredibly hard in a free market. It's easier to raise wages through legislation
