  • I know my vote probably isn’t going to matter (thanks, Obama Electoral College)

    Unironically we can assign some blame to Obama…

    In 08 he had the opportunity to “save” the DNC. Instead he viewed the entire concept as outdated and ignored the party, instead handling everything internally on his team

    If Obama (or more recently Biden) had worked on the DNC and tried to build it up after Hillary’s people burnt it all down (once in 08, again in 16) we wouldnt have had to suffer thru trump and would be seeing the end of a.progressive presidents second term right now.

    If he’d have done that and lived up to 08 campaign promises, then there probably wouldn’t be any “red states” left by now.

    Obama didn’t break the party, but he had a chance to fix an already broken party and instead just ignored it. We’re still paying for it





  • Even in the rare densely populated areas where wells were common, there’s not many left.

    Most people in my area just hook up to city services instead of sink more money into their systems for substantial repair. I don’t think there’s many others left at this point, except maybe the 100+ year old houses whose plumbing wouldn’t survive modern pressure.

    In rural areas where that’s not an option, your issue doesn’t exist.

    Not like if it’s a big deal, but if we’re gonna be pedantic, then we can’t go halfway.









  • There’s this boomer obsession with making it listen to human speech…

    Nobody under 40 wants to use human speech to talk to an AI. We don’t want to us human speech to talk to humans most of the time, especially if we don’t know them.

    But they always want to jam an AI into areas where human speech is the main communication method.

    The absolute last place AI should have been deployed is answering a phone call. Because that is the last resort for most people, but the boomers calling the shots still think that’s people’s go to move before trying anything else



  • Bruh…

    I mean this 100% sincerely, but good luck finding political articles different from what I’ve been posting.

    There’s hardly any articles out there praising Biden and saying we need to stick with him.

    If I post articles, it’s because there was nothing on Lemmy to read and I’m pulling articles off a handful of webpages I went to instead. Like, pretty sure 99% of my articles are from the AP…

    There’s just not really anything pro Biden out there anymore, which might be why less political articles are getting posted.

    So seriously, you don’t even have to post anything, but go look at some news sites and see how hard it is to find anything about Biden except pleas for him to stand down, or him saying he won’t listen to anyone.
