I like the downvotes disabled model.

It also means that the “active” sort algorithm doesn’t promote posts that get lots of “downvotes” -> engagement

James C Scott’s Against the Grain is an excellent academic read on this if anyone is curious.

As a sidenote! Loving Mesopotamia Monday!

This has changed. Look at the propensity switch. Low propensity voters back trump by higher margins than high propensity voters since 2020.

Hence why Democrats dominate low turnout special elections these days

I can just hear the SBB voice “Intercity 8 für Olten, Bern, Lausanne, Gleis 5”

For a lot of disabled people it’s remote work or starve to death.

Happy cake day to both of you!

Not necessarily true. People with left wing beliefs often vote for right wing candidates because the only information they have is their tiktok feeds and fox news playing at home.

I bet the some of the Sama Peoples can beat that. They just don’t have the money or interest in fancy WR attemps

also voter suppression gerrymanderinng élite control of the media etc

Literally all of these except number 23 and 31 are left wing protests.

Let that sink in 32/34 that’s over 94% of the biggest protests in the US were left wing.

We are the majority. Stop believing in the Reagenesque “silent majority” BS.

The majority of people, dont want oligarchs and conservative bigotry.

Well I’m bedridden and deaf, don’t know anyone who speaks sign language, so my life is on screens.

Me who has a disability which prevents me from speaking and hearing people and renders me bedridden.

“Okay, guess I’ll die then”

My last year of high school was the best year of my life.

Many leftists (me included) want to abolish many things, borders, the state, the police, capitalism, the army, prisons etc.

This is satire on that. “Abolish time”.

(1) It’s exaggerated satire.

(2) Fuck R*ddit

Oh please oh please. These heatwaves are killing me.

Let there be a silver lining to the 1% destroying the planet.

When being on a Russian government backlist comes in handy

It shouldn’t need setup if you use a modern client.

My experience with seeding involves me having 80 or so semi popular torrents seeding 24/7. So that might be why. When my library was smaller or back when I opened my client only to download I barely seeded.

This is exaggerated. I seeded 500gb in the last 3 days and I use mullvad.

Port forwarding is not a strict requirement. The reciever can have open ports, and even if not, NAT hole punching often works.
