In most of Europe, tomorrow evening most people will go to the graves of their former relatives and light candles, it is quite beutiful.

I am considering bringing my trusty kerosene fuled storm lantern for both ambience and finding my way in the dark chruch yards.

I learned my lesson twice back in 2016…

The day before Brexit I predicted that it would be a nothing burger.

Then in november, I predicted that Hillary would win, because Trump was obviously shit.

I have stopped predicting elections now…

This is stupid, you booked an overNIGHT room, you check-in in the evening and check-out in the morning, giving you one night in a hotel room.

If you want more time, book a longer duration and pay more.

As someone who is very lonely, chatbots like these scare the shit out of me, not only for their seeming lack of limits, but also for the fact that you have to pay for access.

I know I have a bit of an addictive personality, and know that this kind of system could completely ruin me.

That seems like a crazy low estimate for deaths caused by sugar…

I thought we all agreed that WeChat is a security vulnerabilliy

Ok, when you are not even trying to argue in good faith, I am done.

Ok, when you are not even trying to argue in good faith, I am done.

Yes, I am glad you keep up.

I don’t believe we can afford Trump to win another term, and no, I am not blind to Harris’ issues either, but this is like comparing a fully rotten and moldy apple with a normal apple that happens to have bad bump on it.

I’ll be honest, if I were an American, I’d vote democrat, since they seem far more likely to abollish the electoral college and FPTP than the republicans.

You live in a fantasy world where you think that abstaining from voting will do anything other than support the Republicans.

I may not like either side very much, but I am a realist, and the reallity is that the Democrats are the lesser of two evils.

So far you have only complained, and not shown any even vaugley realistic alternative to mine, and don’t say abstaining from voting, or voting for a third party, in todays America it will only benefit the Republicans.

But I do have to appologize, I am truly sorry for expecting a resonable debate with a user from lemmy.ml and especially on a lemmy.ml community, I am very sorry for wasting both of our time.

I will not vote for any politician that has supported genocide

This is admirable, in a normal democracy, the US has a broken democracy, someone abstaining from voting for the less bad option will directly benefit the worse option.

I am just trying to bring some realism into the discussion, in a democracy without FPTP your option would be fine, with FPTP a lack of vote for one option will directly benefit the other.

If you don’t want Trump to manage this crisis, you gotta vote Harris.

And are you so dumb to believe that People criticizing Harris are going to vote Trump?

No, certainly not, but some may not vote at all, which would benefit the Trump campaign.

Trump is not called out by his very existance.

Trump is called out as a result of his actions.

Calling out Harris at this stage will only serve to drive away voters from her, which will only benefit the Trump campaign.

You have two evils fighting for power, pick the lesser.

This situation will continue untill the US gets rid of the electors and FPTP in elections.

Only then can third parties have a real chance and you can actually vote with more granularity.

You just said that both parties as equally bad on this issue, so why not call out Trump as well?

Ok, so her stance in the current conflict is not worse than Trump’s?

Effectively making it pointless at best to bring up now, at worst it will stop people voting for her and the world will have to deal with Trump and his lackeys for another 4 years.

Focus on getting Harris in office, then focus on changing her attitude in the conflict.

I am sorry but that is the only way to do it.

I may not be American, but even I can see that while you might sway Harris on the issue, there is zero chance swaying Trump about anything other than being worse:

Is Trump’s any different?

The 100% fake enthusiasm, especially if it comes after buying a mediocre product.

The annoying corporate speak.

The bad voice over where lipsyncing is completely gone, this is mostly a thing of the past here in Sweden, but from time to time you get ads from companies launching a product across europe and only record one video to the ad and then translate and do a new voiceover for specific languages as needed, but fail to sync the audio with the video.

Annoying music, for months now a company has been pushing their financial services withe the same terrible ad that is a slideshow and an increadibly annoying music, there is no person talking, they just have a fast tempo music track. I have vowed to never buy anything from them because their ad sucks and is annoying.

Reusing ads, sometimes a company buys almost all ad slots on YT over months and reuse their one ad video so it is completely grating.

Self-righteousness, some ads go from being overly enthusiastic to being intolerably self-righteous. There was a new clinic chain of companies that started a big push a few years ago on yt and for several months you had to listen to an overly kind and happy grandmother wearing a company branded sweater, faking a hearty laugh and telling people to go to their clinic.

Ok, then I misenterpreted your comment, sorry about that.

So you blame Firefox for Tiktok being shit?

I remember being taught in school to apply source criticism, and that seems to have largely died as a concept.

This was back in the early 2000s…
