Why does a state like California that has supermajorities in both houses of the legislature not have a livable wage, housing guarantees, universal healthcare, and other very progressive policies?
  • Right. They say a bunch of shit to hopefully get their base out, sometimes it works. But they play dead when it comes time to deliver the big stuff (like paid family leave). Still, 2nd term Biden in a coma from old age would be better than Trump 2nd Term.

    Reddit updates look after rough 6 months and ahead of reported IPO

  • I don't understand why people don't pay for YouTube premium. Best streaming service I pay for. No ad blockers required. When I watch YouTube at someone else's house the ads drive me nuts.

    What item have you been using on a daily basis for the longest amount of time?
  • Bought my ridge wallet in 2015 and use it every day. Replaced parts on that sucker a few times bcz the straps wear out and screws come lose and fall out. Only nearly lost it once.

    Second iitems are a safety razor handle and brush I got in 2008.

    Am I the only one who can’t get used to Fediverse?
  • 100 percent. I still use reddit but comment very infrequently. If I open a thread and see vile comments I leave, most times I don't open the comments at all. I am glad reddit bo longer has a strong hold over me.

    What do you all do on your phones that isn't doom-scrolling or mindless mini games?
  • I actually looked at going back to a flip phone, but figured I would need to carry a camera and a tablet, and all three of those coat more than a new pixel 8. Once reddit is fun died, I use my phone a lot less, and it's for the better
