Helpful in showing people that the vast sea of red in the 2016 county-level electoral map doesn’t mean it was in any way a blowout

I signed up for the beta back in June but nothing ever came of it. Do I just need to keep waiting?
[edit] never mind, I figured things out
While I’ve heard variations, like “breet” and “gggweh”, they are basically the same

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there anything that only the rich can currently afford but that everyone will have in the future?
1·3 years agoHonestly, I don’t even care if that’s the case. Cars are becoming more like living rooms on wheels and less engaging overall (less about driving and more about being driven), so I don’t even care what I drive when the time comes, so long as it isn’t a piece of garbage with a shoddily-built interior. Hell, I’d rather just not have a car at all at that point, but we don’t have the infrastructure here (in the US) for that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some things that you can’t do in a small town that you wish you could?
212·3 years agoIt’s bad enough dealing with crippling depression in a small town, where everyone’s going to tell you that A: your condition is a moral failure rather than an illness with physiological underpinnings, B: religion is the answer to your condition, C: (for males, anyway) your condition makes you weak and effeminate, or D: a combination of the above or more likely all of them. Adding those things on top of it is a recipe for suicide.
This could still be an Ohio meme
No, I get it, that song gets lodged in my head all the time too, hi-five
…sometimes, I’ll sing it to myself, raising my hand into the air as I reach the end of the line, and close it into a fist on the “Taurus!” part, like it’s some kind of overly dramatic Broadway horseshit

Politics@beehaw.org•Right wing commentator, Ben Shapiro pictured at the Barbie movie wearing all black, frowning and holding a stack of angry notes he took during the movie.
20·3 years agoHe paid to see it, and I’m not going to read his notes. Wins all around except for Ben himself.
It’s not just science-related videos either; I recently saw a video about the Taurus returning to Ford’s lineup, despite the car existing only as a rebadged Mondeo in the Chinese market now, and no such announcements being made anywhere for it to return to the US market
I really wish there was a viable alternative to youtube, it’s the only google product I consciously use and it’s pure trash

Politics@kbin.social•Biden confronts a 'pissed-off generation' of young voters who may be decisive in 2024
3·3 years agoThat sucks, sorry to hear it. My mom, of all people, who I don’t think has ever voted, asked me the other day if I was going to vote no on issue 1 in the upcoming special election in Ohio, in which a yes vote would prevent a ballot issue protecting women’s reproductive rights from being up for the vote in November. It’s gotten bad enough here that she is going to vote. There’s a red line for everyone, maybe you need to help yours find it.
None, because you’re too busy gasping desperately for air
Adventure Bay is corrupt as hell. They spent millions to replace all emergency services with… a kid with some puppies and a goddamn semi? And how many times have they had to rescue the mayor’s fucking chicken? How much has that cost the citizens?

I looked it up, and it’s pronounced bo-ops. Let’s start a petition to legally change it to the proper pronunciation.
