Unfortunately it didn’t matter, she would’ve lost without Michigan =(

Haha that’s one way. Seems like it would make it harder to land the next job, though.

I so need to do this. Been at the same job for almost 10 years and it feels like everyone else I started with has surpassed me for this reason in terms of salary and position. But i hate applying for jobs in tech so much, having to do the leetcode study bullshit as if I’m still in school and all that. It’s so exhausting and annoying. Maybe it’s the ADHD, but it’s hard to bring myself to sit down and do it.

But also, I could really use more money, it’s been impossible to save for a house where I live, and I’d love to be able to have one someday. I know it’s not too late, I still have so many years before I retire, but I’m still jealous of you guys that could sit down and more easily do the interview dance every 2-3 years.

True. There’s some good advice in this thread for features people might not be familiar with.

I think it would just be cool to have regional specific communities and a shared culture. For example, one thing about Reddit was that there was subreddits for some local neighborhoods and such. I was able to help a couple move in return for a bunch stuff for my new apartment through that, and get advice on where I was moving to, etc. Just cool local things like that would be nice to have on here, but it would probably require a bigger population.

I wouldn’t mind the some more regional US instances, like midwest.social,.but for socal or norcal or the west coast in general, northeast, south, etc.

That might be why the candidates are running, but it’s not why people are voting for them. You haven’t seemed to have applied any empathy or gone into the mind of a third party voter at all, especially in this election, which is a different situation because of the ongoing genocide.

Or the app they use maybe didn’t implement it yet.

The point is to scare one of the main candidates to not support a genocide, so doing it silently would be against that. Tbh, it’s also the same reason I think a lot of them are bluffing and will end up voting for one of the main two instead.

I do, but the US and Western leadership of the world hasn’t exactly been roses, either. They’ve destabilized a country in essentially every region and continent except Australia and Antarctica. That’s why so much of the global south is trying to start another team. Not sure if it will work, but I can’t blame them for trying.

Not so much Russia, as the rest of the world south, like Brazil, South Africa, or China. It’s about 50% of the world population in BRICS now. But it’s so varied, not sure if they’ll be able to figure something out.

You guys are fighting the good fight!

Lol amazing metaphor. I’m remembering that one.

Hope they’re successful for the sake of countries like Cuba, but I imagine this will take a long time to set up and work out the kinks.

Thought you were talking about Pete. He pretty clearly seems like the one the blues are grooming to take over next. He’s well-spoken and probably a much safer pick for liberals than AOC.

All 3 are pretty active, although the bottom one is a bot community hat automatically finds rising and popular communities in the fediverse. The top two are similar, but one seems to be about just generally bringing attention to communities people want more users in (community promo), and the other is about advertising newly created or revived communities (new communities).

I personally subscribe to all 3, but I’m always trying to find new communities to add to my home feed. I prefer using that over All or Local.

It’s sad there are Muslims willing to stand on stage with Trump knowing the shit he’s done and said.

But it’s equally sad that Kamala Harris can’t do the same thing.

Anyone know if there’s a way to support the strike?

Yay! Hopefully they can turn it into something material to encourage a multipolar world, like get their payment system to work.

If they could do a genocide without costing any Israeli lives, they would in a heartbeat.
