If Ruby is interesting, check out Crystal, it’s like Ruby but static typed and compiled.

I think the message is that South Korean culture and western propaganda is garbage to them. They are saying, “send us garbage, we’ll return the favor in kind”.

This is only a slight exaggeration, all cookies are slowly being replaced by versions of Oreos.

Right!? 30 mins for Age of Sin!? Are they kidding? Is this shrinkflation?

I think this is going to be the solution. Holding this information needs to be a significant liability for companies.

That’s what I mean, a few people being disappeared in a particularly crazy summer of nationwide protests years ago is way better than it being the norm for anyone that doesn’t agree with the Trump admin.

Do you not understand degrees of harm and think that since Biden isn’t a perfect communist than he is no different than an full on fascist dictatorship? Do you hate you mom like Hitler if she doesn’t give you Cheetos for dinner?

They should just have the candidates endorse products on stage.

Trump could talk about how confident he is on stage wearing the new leak-free Depends

Biden could pull up a bowl of Quaker Oats and talk about his regular bowel movements.

RFK could say he’s all good now thanks to HeartGuard+ Brain Dewormer

Didn’t Kerry lose in part for looking like a dork in a tank?

I have a feeling, these events were just things the media could use to manipulate the narrative on the Democratic candidate, otherwise would’ve been ignored.

At this point I’m really starting to believe the only choice is to back up, and protest how we elect presidents in the first place. It doesn’t seem to produce a representative of the people.

Again, you’re right, how we elect presidents is fucked up and needs to change. Is making that change going to be easier under Trump? Because that’s who’s going to be president if Biden loses. Is changing how we elect presidents going to be easier when anyone willing to be an activist to accomplish it gets arrested? You think protest arrests are bad now, just wait until an actual fascist is in charge and your friends start disappearing.

I am become joke, destroyer of Lemmy.

So I think it’s time for a new bus.

Me too, but jumping off a running bus onto flaming mini van full idiots isn’t going to help anyone.

Everything you hate about Biden is still going to be there under Trump only worse, and Trump is the only other option at this moment. You want better choices in the future, run for office, encourage people to run for office. As long as people like you are encouraging good people to forfeit electoral politics, only the worst people are going to be available as options to vote for.

The point of voting is not to choose the candidate that will fix everything and give up if there isn’t one, it’s to choose the the option that will make your life easier, even if just a little. If you want the world to be a better place, one candidate will make your job risky and dangerous by putting left wingers in prison and supporting right wing violence, the other wont. Why make your life/job harder because you’re upset or frustrated? Why harm your LGBTQ comrades with your apathy?

Genocide Trump: Yes Biden: Yes

Make life hell for LGBTQ at home in the U.S. Trump: Yes Biden: No

I want them to see they cannot hold power without the left.

Ok, I get that, but if the Democrats don’t win, who does? Obviously the Republicans right? Is that an improvement? If Republicans destroy democracy (as they have been crystal clear about), what use is sending messages relevant to electoral politics?

You’re thinking of things wrong and it’s leading you to silly conclusions.

Voting for president is not about voting for the person that will solve of our problems.

Stop looking to the state to solve our problems, that is not it’s purpose, it does not have this ability.

Real problems are solved by people.

Voting for U.S. president is a strategic choice we’re allowed every four years, choose the option that makes your life and/or job easier. If you’re really concerned about genocide, choose the option for president that will make your job of anti-war activist easier and safer.

Understand that many of your anti-war allies are LGBTQ, and that if Trump wins, he is almost certainly going to make it much harder for your allies to survive, let alone be activists. Why would you throw your allies under the bus to make an ideological point like 16 people on Lemmy will see?

Biden: This isn’t a genocide, so sure

Disclaimer: Voting Biden because Trump will expand the genocide to vulnerable groups here and usher in christian nationalism.

I think constantly bringing it up to people all the time is more of a disservice.

The trans community is tiny, I’m an almost 50 year old trans woman transitioned over 20 years ago. The reason we have the rights we do is because it’s “brought up all the time”. When I transitioned, it was rarely brought up, this was because most people were scared of the social and economic consequences of doing so. This is all changing because we talk about it rather than be quiet and let people keep us down. I’d imagine even you might have more negative views of trans people if the only exposure you had was from talk shows promoting us as freaks, this is how it was before.

Other than that, your attitude is fine, not everyone needs to be interested.

Scandalous! Where can I hear more about this ABC, DEF, JKL love triangle?

Nope, been thinking about what it would take to make one though.
