50% of what Gen X thinks is zoomer slang is actually jokes at zoomer slang’s expense

Spread this in Christian communities.

I would never recommend Twitter to normal people, but she’s a politician, she has to go where the people are.

I would argue she should be encouraging people to use Mastodon, but the fact is most people currently on Fediverse either already agree with her positions or think she’s “lib controlled opposition.”

YouTube drama is just as vitriolic as politics and matters 100x less

And conservatives and tankies will still deny he’s a Russian asset.

You are, some people aren’t.

midwest.social is sorta the defacto US-specific instance despite the name pointing to a specific region.

I guarantee you that there are no governments, banks, or businesses older than 15 years that aren’t running some old ass code that’s not getting replaced any time soon.

Corned Beef Reuben. A fuckton of corned beef, sauerkraut, Russian dressing, and Swiss cheese on rye. Jewish-American, but regional origins are disputed.

My two cents is that most former presidents should be silent. Especially Biden.

The one who shouldn’t is Obama, the only former president who is actually viewed favorably in America.

I think cold balkanization is both the most likely and most optimistic scenario.

I’m curious why you think it’s most likely. Most optimistic, I agree.

I’d go further and say most Americans outside the Southeast US think they don’t have accents. This is the only time the Southeast has ever topped the charts on anything involving intelligence.

I guarantee you that most of those pizza arguments are between two Americans. Maybe the odd one that features an Italian.

I agree in regards to whites only spaces, but men’s only spaces have apolitical reasons to exist (just as not all of the reasons for women’s only spaces to exist are political.) The experience of being male is just different and sometimes some people just need space to discuss.

I’m of the opinion that retrospective Obama love represents missing normalcy more than actual Obama, even if not everybody realizes that.

This right here, this is why so much of the initial reaction to Trump winning was resignment. You can’t have the pedal all the way down 24/7 for NINE FUCKING YEARS and not experience burnout. Not to mention, how doomscrolling can delude you into thinking it’s doing something. It’s not, and unlike doomscrollers, football fans (REGARDLESS of which “football” it is) know damn well it does nothing about world problems.

Never with “everyday” purchases. The two times it happened to me were a VST plugin and a game engine license.

(I’m also in the US with a nonwhite name.)

I just think the nature of how Lemmy came about and who created it means that it’s mostly used by very serious people worried about the state of the world.

It’s one of the reasons I still use Reddit honestly. Lemmy is good for politics, FOSS, and Star Trek.

The US wasn’t run by Nazis in 1939 though. The same (rather popular) guy who was President in 1939 was President in 1941.

It’s very possible Germany becomes run by Nazis again.

I personally think that’s the only likely scenario where there’d be war on American soil.
