Yes? We fund KSA who fund the RSF. If the US wanted to end the conflict they could, easily. But it’s not a convenient political pressure point for bad faith actors like yourself.

Literally yes, the US funds the KSA who fund the RSF

Did you know in Sudan (5x the population of Israel/Gaza) there is a literal ethnic genocide going on right now? As in Arabs going village to village and straight up murdering people based entirely on how dark their skin is? And this started before the 2024 election. How many times have you posted about that?

Funny how all of these disingenuous anti-Biden and anti-DNC posters are so conveniently playing into the Republicans’ hands by making Israel a single issue voting point.

but muh egg prices

Yep, if you open any subreddit (not including the reddit.com front page), it sprinkles days old posts in with the default “Best” filter. It’s a mystifyingly annoying change because from a user perspective you have to re-read the same post multiple times each week, and there’s no point further commenting on those threads because no one else is still engaging with them.

It’s like the worst of all worlds combination of old forums and old Reddit, because old threads keep getting necro-ed, but users have no control over which ones are coming back or when they do.

I like that on Lemmy you can comment on a 20+ hour old thread from the “front page” and still have a good chance at responses or interaction from other users.

Any subreddit that regularly hits the front page of Reddit requires that users comment in the first hour or two of the post being made, or latch onto some chain from the top existing comments, or else your comment is basically just thrown into the void. It’s even worse now that Reddit has started showing day or week old posts on the front page, like why bother commenting on those posts when absolutely no one will see it…

Why stop at 1

Actually checking the name and address against the voting registration record, without an additional ID check, really is enough to validate someone in like 99.999999% of cases. In order for someone to impersonate someone else while voting, they would need to:

-Know their name

-Know their address

-Know their designated polling place and physically visit it to cast a ballot

-And most importantly, they would need to know that the person they’re impersonating is not going to vote in that election. Because otherwise as soon as they do, it’s going to flag a voter fraud alert when one voter appears to be voting twice. Which is a federal crime that is taken very seriously and easy to track down, because it occurs so infrequently and there’s surveillance at every polling location

So an imposter would be risking federal prison time in order to swing an election by one vote. It’s something that happens like a single digit number of times per election.

Compare that to the hundreds or even thousands of times that people work 8+ hour days (since elections in the US are never on holidays), get to their polling place that closes as early as 6pm, and then find that they’ve forgot to bring or lost their ID, and then won’t or can’t vote in the election. The current system works fine, ID laws are 100% just a voter suppression tactic.

I think that’s a local state or city requirement, I’m not sure I’ve ever had to sign for a ballot.

It’s a fair question so idk why people are downvoting you. But in the US you can’t just walk in and vote (ID or not). Before the election you have to register to vote, and that process verifies that you are a citizen. Then once you go into your polling place to actually cast your vote, they check your name/address to see if you’ve been registered, and if you have, then you are allowed to vote.

So requiring ID to vote introduces a second step to check something that’s already been verified (you can’t register to vote if you aren’t a citizen), and Republicans love it because adding extra hoops to the voting process lowers turnout and historically Republicans do better in low voter turnout elections.

Low-key they kind of are just because of security through obscurity. Modern scammers are too busy with new stuff like crypto and phishing, and can’t be bothered with faxing.

Except these guys never go after the Catholic Church

Well the US doesn’t have to do anything, so hopefully he follows up on that promise (doubt).

Realistically what is the worst thing China is doing with your private data? Selling it? If you’re not a Chinese National, at least you don’t fall under their jurisdiction.

If you’re a U.S. citizen, with all the tech oligarchs cozying up to the current administration, I’d be a lot more concerned with Facebook/Twitter/Etc collecting your data.

Gen X was Trump’s biggest supporter in the last election. More than boomers even.

Obviously not true of every Gen X’er, but when Gen Z talks about boomers they’re usually inadvertently referring to Gen X.

Cryptocurrencies: higher transaction fees, slower transaction times, and zero consumer protections compared to just using a credit card.

On the other hand, crypto is also terrible for the environment.
