Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
Me: unsubbing every single politics community
Showerthoughts:
You need to block users. Users like me! I am glad you are using lemmy your way. Peace.
Can't stress this enough. And block based on keywords. My lemmy experience improved dramatically once I started blocking users, subs, and instances I didn't like.
Those users get to enjoy their thing, and I wont yuck their yum. I've managed to cutout most of the rage bait and the stuff in my feed is genuinely interesting.
I already do, and it's great!
It's just that this post evaded all my filters anyway thanks to phrasing :D
You're not worried about him falling off the toilet and dieing?

and *dyeing
Just me?
Its 7 minutes until polls close where I am. I voted absentee but still thinking of everyone that still needs to vote
So you voted Trump then.
Edit: clearly not what I assumed absentee voting is.
People outside the US have always been terrified of what the US president might do. Imagine if China had military bases all over the world.
Valid take. The military industrial complex is a terrifying ordeal.
And the thing is: Trump is not a clever man. In fact, he's blantantly, obviously, ferociously stupid. He didn't just appear out of nowhere. The rest of us have been watching this dog eat grass for the last 50 years.
I can't beleive the number of New Yorkers (NYC residents and expats) that trust Trump. He has wreaked havoc across the city and metro area with terrible buildings, stiffed contractors, and constant financial mockery. His post-TV show perception has done an insane job of making even the most affected people forget what a sack of shit he his. They really think 1. He runs businesses well due to his continued financial growth and that 2. Running the country like his businesses will somehow benefit them, the national equivalent of those laid off from his private endeavors.
So anyway, that's how I know they just racist assholes.
The best part will be if he wins, those in power will just sit around with their thumbs up their butts waiting for fascism to take over on Jan. 20th.
EDIT: It's thumbs up their butts time for 2 and a half months.
Can't the president do anything he wants right now???? 🧐
No, only what the SCOTUS allows him to. Democrats aren't allowed to do anything.
People around the world already live in terror of what USA government may do to them
666 upvotes, hahaha
Of the Dems win and they don't put a boot on the neck of this fascist movement it will take over eventually.
Like what happened after the last presidential election?
Dems are chasing Repubs, so either party winning won't really change this fact.
With Dems we're delaying this outcome. With Repubs we're accelerating it.
But that would require them to reign in the very same companies that sponsor them. One can hope, but it seems unlikely.
