The 1932 election had a communist option, it’s unlikely that there will be one on my ballot.

We’re not going to overthrow fascism in America at the voting booth. I’m not trying to convince anyone to vote for Biden, that’s his job and he’s not doing it very well. I’m also not going to shame anyone for doing something easy like voting in the hopes that it makes them a tiny bit safer.

I would shame someone if they thought that voting democrat is a step towards bringing about positive change or parroted some bullshit about how we can get more concessions from Democrats than Republicans. If voting is the extent of your political engagement, you aren’t opposing fascism.

If Hitler had actually held an election and the only options were him or a Strasser party, I don’t think it would be immoral to vote for the Strassers. But I also don’t think it would be a moral obligation if you had no reason to believe they would stop the Holocaust.

If they’re both equally evil internationally and mostly equally evil domestically, am I allowed to vote for who is less likely to remove more human rights from women and trans people?

I would never tell anyone that they should vote, I understand people’s reasons for not doing it. Selfishly, I’m going to give myself the best chance of having access to life saving health care until I’m no longer of child bearing age.

This is just not realistic.

Using the median home price is severely underestimating the cost of a decent home in an okay neighborhood.

With these salaries, you can afford a house that needs severe repairs or in either an unsafe or really inconvenient area.

I bought a house in one of these cities in 2017 with slightly more than what they say is the required salary. It was 195k with 4.5%. The school district reassessed the house from the sale, my taxes skyrocketed, and my mortgage increased $600 a month. I ended up selling the house after 3 years to move in my parents with 25k in credit card debt.

Today, that house would cost at least 300k and interest rates are around 8%. I’ve almost tripled my salary since then and my budget is probably max 330k.

It does not need to be this big.

Just give us New York, it’s already more than 5x as big as Israel and most of us are already there.

I don’t think there would be a lot of teenagers on any Lemmy instance.

And I’d imagine the ones who are lean pretty right and are more of the 4chan variety. You have to be really online to be on a website like this.

I know kids are more isolated than when I was in high school, but I would still think they’re mostly sticking to cool social media like TikTok and IG (and others that I’m too old to know of?)

One of the downsides of having mandatory military service is that civilians aren’t exactly regular civilians. Even if they’re not serving now, most of the adult population in Israel has served in the army.

I don’t think that excuses sexual violence and executing children, but it definitely makes the context of civilians a lot murkier.

I’m on board with this except instead of reusable glass bottles that need to be transported around, you’re responsible for your own reusable bottle/mug/thermos and you can only get beverages from a soda fountain.

The formation of these countries we have today is condemnable and it’s exactly what Israel is attempting to do, which is why they must be stopped.

I think this is because it’s more expensive and takes longer to build and maintain a desktop website, mobile website, and app.

If you design everything to work on mobile, you can reuse it as the desktop site. You can most likely reuse assets in the app as well.

Also, people are using their phones a lot more frequently than desktop/laptop, so mobile experience gets prioritized.

I’d say it’s the best anime adaption I’ve seen

Clearly you’ve never seen Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon

Add them to the Black Book of Capitalism

During the same time frame, but not simultaneously.

My husband’s ex-wife cheated on him with his brother and best friend. It would be completely terrible to cheat with those people even without that history, but it makes it 10x worse.

We would never say “libtards” and we don’t have to. Liberal is enough of an insult on its own.

I agree that WW3 won’t save the economy this time, I just think the US doesn’t have another answer.

Although I’m sure they’ll keep throwing money at consulting companies to research the issue and give them the same answer back.

I don’t think the US knows any other economic recovery options besides war.

We haven’t really changed it up since WW2.

The evil CCP is committing genocide against deserts!
