  • Votes matter but you also have a system in place, and if you’re necking the 50/50 vote point expect that system to matter. Going to lala land and imagining a system that isn’t how your system actually works doesn’t fix anything.

    Get more people to vote
    Discourage 3rd party bait picks that will never get elected because they don’t even have a local/state/anything presence
    As an added bonus, you’d probably need to get people more interested in house/senate elections if you actually wanted to do anything about the electoral college. Cause it’s not being changed at the presidential level.


  • He barely lost the popular vote, and in the end the electoral college decides. It’s complete denial to act like it was a landslide. Even if you agree the electoral college is problematic it was a bad election.

    If you don’t want to think about the electoral college, the popular vote has to be a landslide, not what it was in 2016.

    You can even look it up and this isn’t even the first time this has happened. it’s the 4th time. It doesn’t even get the most blatant discrepancy




  • I don’t think saying “All memes are political” is exclusively a right thing to dislike.

    Especially since a lot of memes grew from people who were absolutely too young to be thinking about politics.

    Sure there are memes that are political, but to say all memes are is just kindof…appropriating?

    I mean it’s entirely possible I don’t know the political significance of pepe, but I was also never really shown a reason to ask.








  • Just wondering, but is there anything regarding packages or flatpaks (and variants of them) that would make immutable systems a requirement in order to use your applications, or would it still be possible to use a regular distro?

    I’m sure there wouldn’t really be any complaints regarding 90% of linux users using immutable systems, as long as applications weren’t “locked in” to using those exclusively.

    I mean, there’s a reason they don’t let you delete system32 anymore

    It’s like one of the earliest troubleshooting joke memes. It just so happens people actually did that, and not because they wanted to do that.

    But like on earlier versions of Windows you could absolutely delete any folder on the drive. I think there’s even a story about an uninstaller that accidentally deleted the entire root of the drive because it wasn’t written correctly.
