If they used Mastodon or Lemmy, those people would be less tense.

If they had more normies on it, maybe. But Lemmy seems to be composed primarily of the tensest people in the world to me.

TikTok I’d wait for evidence, but Elon absolutely boosted people like Tate

There are poll headlines I pray are true and ones I pray aren’t…but say it with me:

POLLS. DON’T. MATTER!!!

He’s telling conservative men to restrain their wives from voting.

To me it’s abundantly clear this is coming from our side. Those plaques are clearly sarcastic.

PSVR2 died because it’s not backwards compatible with PSVR1.

Half Life Alyx is like if we got Super Mario 64, and then four years later the games influenced by it just didn’t come.

Nobody needs to invoke Hitler to say infrastructure spending is good.

Women and LGBT people have been the top buyers of guns for a while.

Walz called for abolishing it.

That’s about as valuable as Trudeau’s promise to switch Canada off FPTP, but people are talking.

NYC, San Francisco, and Santa Monica did it. A lawsuit Airbnb put forth to to block it in NYC got dismissed even.

We do but it’s about more plants and animals than humans.

My school had decent sex ed though (New Jersey)

Every cuisine except for those of uncontacted tribes is shaped by migration, trade, economics, etc. The ingredients Italian cuisine is most known for are pasta (derived from early Arabic forms of noodles) and tomatoes (South America.) You can say Lasagna was invented in Italy, but you can’t say it’s the product of cultural purity that Europeans tend to think of their cuisines as.

Only to the degree that the hamburger actually is an original American dish does “pure” cuisine exist. People looking to discredit American food call it German, and while it evolved from Hamburg steak, by most accounts the first people to turn that into a sandwich, and then top it with cheese, lettuce, and tomato instead of gravy were in the United States. Burgers are German only to the degree that Bahn Mi is French.

What kinds of food can 100% be attributed to the US? Fast food? Spray cheese?

None, but the notion of any “pure” and “original” cuisine existing is a myth that normalizes nativism.

When Harris first came on the scene I thought to myself that the election became a battle between Reagan nostalgia and Obama nostalgia. And I cannot blame any American for feeling Obama nostalgia because I feel Obama nostalgia, but reliance on nostalgia blinds us to new ideas and current issues.

Nothing will be done until the politicians can no longer ignore end FPTP movements.

Guns are pretty much banned in Japan and the UK.

Still, presenting it as a binary is harmful to the movement, when Americans regularly poll in favor of stricter gun measures but not an outright ban.

According to polling most Americans support stricter gun control measures but not a ban. As usual, it’s the Electoral College and FPTP (IMO, no country with either should be listed as a full democracy. Not USA, not UK, and not Canada.) Still, it is true that the gun issue is too often presented as binary (but I’d actually say this is just as common with foreigners arguing for gun bans as it is with Americans arguing against it.)

No.

I’m a zoomed so I can confirm you completely failed to bring up any media relevant to Gen Z, and Star Trek TOS and Ali are closer than Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and Bond.
