    Apparently it’s for misinformation campaigns trying to turn the left against voting in the upcoming election.

    Remember folks, apathy is one of the biggest tools in the GOP’s arsenal. Pretending like a post is coming from some bleeding heart liberal to make it seem like the Democrats are JuSt As BaD as the GOP. These type of posts are here to make it seem as if both parties are the same, all so you decide to sit it out on election day. A low voter turnout only helps the fascists of the Republican Party gain more power.







  • I have like 4 drawers of cables and connectors that go back at least 2 decades of various standards and ports and configurations. So you’d think that any time I need to find a cable, it should be no big deal, right? NOPE. Can’t find it, and end up having to order a new one. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother keeping any around.





  • This is what people don’t understand about electives in college. They think they are just bullshit courses that are a waste of time. You should go into picking an elective as a way to relax, learn something about a subject you are interested in but might not be all that knowledgeable about. You might come out of it with a new hobby or interest you want to pursue further. Maybe people more two dimensional.







  • The Hollywood elite know this strike will end eventually and they know they want to fill movie seats. Endearing her to the masses and making her looking like “one of them” is exactly what people want to see and is just the kind of thing that will fill those movie theater seats when this strike is over. That one photo, assuming it was picked up by all the usual celebrity-worshiping publications and websites, will have upped her desirability by quite a bit. Smart move by her and her people.

    This is how viral campaigns work.


  • You see that shit literally every single day on Lemmy and Reddit and every other social media platform.

    A divided America means a more powerful Russia and China and the benefactor tends to be the Republican party who has members, like Trump himself, who are in the pocket of these foreign nations.

    The scariest thing isn’t even that it is happening.
    The scariest part is that so many just don’t realize it is happening.

    They think it only happens elsewhere or in some dark corner of the web. Literally people you respond to and posts you upvote and downvote are part of this disinformation campaign. Every time you see a post that is painting an especially bleak picture of the economy or our future, step back and think that this could very well be another one of many posts by trolls looking to create dissent, get people angry or apathetic toward our country and your fellow Americans.
