I think we are wasting our lives to a certain degree. As kids, we expected more from life than sitting in front of a computer to feed the family. And sitting at a computer is seen as one of the “good” jobs.

Lol yes.

Yeah I have given up on the system but you are right, its not much to gain from that attitude. I just cant change it for myself. Too much experience watching these guys.

You make a fair point though.

What did he promise?

Possibly, but they are also not getting this kind of publicity. American politics seems to be about being very extreme in your views, and they dont have to be true, just appear to be on the peoples side.

I thought he was a nominee? Article says that anyway. But still, there is zero chance that any of these guys will make any changes that are helping the ordinary people and hurts billionaries. Its a system where they have money and power and most of the citizens do not.

People are desperate for hope, and thats why his strategy is working. It is simular to Trumps own strategy also. They all come out and act as if they represent the ordinary people, and everyone buys it every time.

All these guys just say what the public wants to hear before election.

Behind the scenes, this guy wants to be a billionarie, and the way there is to make a political career, saying whatever is popular with the voters.

There is no risk of being shot because all this guy is doing is trying to get popular, just like every other political guy before him. He wont be able to get rid of billionaries even if he wanted to.

I was having computer science class and I remember seeing the news… Felt so unreal to see something like that in America. Went home, watched news for the entire day.

Then I read a lot about 9/11 the following years. I think it changed the perception about America in a lot of people.

I agree, but people dont like to hear that.

There is always the possibility that we are wrong also.

Having government confirm age of users is the beginning of having to use a real id to use the internet. Thats the wet dream of governments and big tech, but its a total nightmare for privacy and discussing things without your real name being known.

Just watch linkedin and see how discussions are extreamly limited there, since people dont want to discuss sensitive things in front of others using their real name.

I also dont watch news and havent for a decade. Its not like im missing something important, since I get to hear about anything actually important anyway. It would be hard to miss things like covid where we actually need to take action. Even here on Lemmy, people seem to be discussing a lot of current events in the news, so… Dont need to watch TV news.

Its hard to know online but yeah, I was.

Lets have another peaceful protest, it will work this time.

Now we are debt slaves instead. Success.

Sounds exactly like what we do at Lemmy.today.

That specific part you said, about letting users decide, is the core idea of the entire instance and has been from the start.

But check out all options before you decide. The Lemmy network needs many different instances to stay strong.

Can we make this site judge what Trump says? Would be so funny.

Haha you got a good point :)

100%, its incredibly obvious.

No, I was watching the bond market. The bond market is very tricky. I was watching it, but if you look at it now, it’s — it’s beautiful. The bond market right now is beautiful. But, yeah, I saw last night where people were getting a little queasy.”

Hard to believe these are US Presidential quotes. Sounds more like some teenage barista smoking pot.

It looked good today, until it didnt…

It doesnt matter if they reach any end result, as long as stocks go up and profits go up.

Consumers arent really asking for AI but its being used to push new hardware and make previous hardware feel old. Eventually everyone has AI on their phone, most of it unused.
