I’d like to visit Mexico sometime, but it wouldn’t really work for a day trip

And an extra finger too, if you want to choose where you sit!

Oh man. I wish that’d work where I live (Canada). Europeans don’t realize how lucky they have it! I can’t fly to any worthwhile countries and back in a day (at least not long enough to enjoy the stay)

It’s literally Chinese surveillance the way that Facebook is Corporate-American surveillance. But China has a lot more ownership of what its companies have, hence why it’s considered essentially Chinese-owned.

I guess MSexit wasn’t approved for the name for this. But I thought it was about Mexico, and got confused

I’m not sure if you’re talking about Israeli liberals, or if you’re trying to say that the US Republican voters are liberals or something…lol

They’re actually not. That’s the problem – they can’t all agree on enough things to vote in the same direction!

Che Guevara, from Desalinas PFP, was also rather homophonic

Which other word did he sound like?

Castling

The woman barely has freedom of movement except once in her life and only by chauffeur.

The woman is never actually captured. The game ends when her capture is imminent.

The goal of the game is to kidnap someone else’s wife.

Seems Taliban-friendly!

Caring for them is entirely a different matter, but yes.

How did you notice that pattern? It seems none of the rest of us have ever heard of that before…lol

How big of an issue is that in Japan? I know that older people there tend to like being employed even into their senior years. I don’t know how much is out of necessity.

Lmao…the other comment chain had a more accurate answer…

Whoops, that went over my head. My bad. I don’t know if you can blame me given your server though! Haha

That’s not the right answer. You’d think someone from lemmy.ml would know a bit more about this topic…

The “good and just God” is just going to make it up to all these people in the infinite afterlife, and inflict eternal suffering on the perpetrators!

/s but some people genuinely believe this

Dude admits to lying/explicitly making shit up and his followers will be like “No, he just means that he’ll explain things in meaningful ways even if it’s exaggerated a bit so that people will pay attention”

But for a lot of people, it does take a lot of effort, and I find not voting in those circumstances more understandable.

There is a long way to go in some places to make voting more accessible, approachable, and available, yes.

I think that other political actions tend to take more effort and more work, or they tend to be less widely impactful.

Complaining online and sharing memes, for example, is easy, but does next to nothing.

Calling your local official or writing an email/letter to them can change local politics, but just like voting can be harder or easier depending on where you live, getting your message to go somewhere other than their garbage bin can take a lot of time and effort… probably more than voting. And even there, that’s only one politician you’ve influenced.

Larger political actions that are stronger than voting definitely exist, but I think the majority of them come with greater risk, more effort, or a larger time investment (like protests, running for local office, etc).

Voting sends a message to politicians nationwide, if not just statewide. And like I mentioned elsewhere, there’s little incentive for politicians to take the opinions of non-voters seriously.

Thanks Kamala Harris
