? This isn’t the giving pledge, which is ALSO still active. The Gates Foundation is massively increasing its budget so it won’t survive in perpetuity, trying to fill a portion of the gap created by the death of USAID.
There are many things to be mad about. This is not one of them.
Trades in Canada get you a decent number of points in the immigration system for PR applications, especially depending on the province. If you’re fine with smaller cities, the prairies are pretty affordable and have easier immigration pathways, and reasonable (but not amazing) job opportunities.
Canada needs electricians - I moved north 10 years ago and have not looked back.
The commodification of our most base needs, such as romantic relationships, is truly troubling. So much unrest because things like food, shelter, and reproduction are paywalled. Makes the population more vulnerable to fascist ideals.
The original image, and your extension, are an emergent behavior as a result of The Algorithm - due to “scarcity”, Player B (men) is (are) encouraged to roll the dice as frequently as possible.
This whole dynamic is real, results in negative interactions for both players, and is intentionally set up by the apps to maintain engagement and extract as much money via pay-to-play advantages as possible. Dating apps are rigged to give men and women bad experiences so they (largely men) become desperate enough to pay $25 a month or whatever to have an unfair advantage.
The internet (and other players!) likes to hate the players, not the game, and the only “comfort” many young men have is Tate and Co.
“Some guy” in this case is Trump during the interview with NBC btw - that’s exactly his (first) plan
False dichotomy, my guy - why not call out both the civil rights violations and their basic idiocy? Some people wouldn’t be swayed by “the department of education ensures equity in education” but would be by “the illiterate are tearing down education”. Just because a single person didn’t mention every single thing going wrong every time they comment doesn’t mean they don’t care about stopping every bad thing.
Thanks, I know how to use markdown, I just can’t get my lemmy client to upload an image to my instance to get the URL to begin with.
Pretty sure the headline was changed by USA Today, based on the page title. Once I figure out how to include an image I’ll add it, but I think when the OP posted this, that was the headline.
I disabled replies because you said /conversation and I thought it was done. I didn’t bait you.
I think we agree on most things. I disagree that pivoting left on Palestine would have net improved voter turnout for Harris. I do agree that the Dems have failed to appeal to undecideds and non-voters. I do agree some people in the Democratic party will be blaming third-party voters, despite them being of little consequence this election. Criticizing Hispanics for voting Trump based on vague notions of “the economy” is fair game, though, along with criticizing white people who thought Biden was still running, etc.
Re: your other post, if your post is so widely misinterpreted that you have to comment a clarification, maybe your communication isn’t clear.
You’re clearly not dumb, but not everyone who replies is committing a logical fallacy.

This you? This isn’t a meme you posted about Dems needing to shift left on Palestine? /conversation
Again, not a false dilemma if you’ve previously posted that pivoting left for Arabic votes on Palestine would put the Democrats in power.
I agree that the Dems abandoned appealing to voters on economic grounds, which is what actually lost them the election. But I’m not addressing any arguments in that - I’m commenting on your previous commentary on Dems not pivoting left on Palestine. So hey, fallacy fallacy yourself if you want.
It’s only a strawman if you haven’t posted exactly that argument before. So, which is it, though? Did the Dems lose because they failed to pivot left on Palestine to capture the leftist Arabic vote, or are leftist Arabs an inconsequentially small voter base?
Answer: it’s the second one! White people handed this country to Trump, and trying to court Arabs with Palestine wouldn’t have increased Harris’ results.
And so with the leftist Arabic vote being such a tiny % of the overall voter base, it would be really smart to pivot to single-issue to maybe win some of that 0.46%, right?
I know - not sure why you’re getting down voted lol
I mean, MAGA media sphere is heavily paid-for by RT/Russia, so… yeah.
International shitposting is the best shitposting
Oh I know, the whole communication space is cooked. I don’t know if it was just bad PR or intentional manipulation but the concrete positive impacts of the Biden admin are so unknown its sad.
Don’t forget the 10 prescription meds Biden negotiated MUCH lower prices for.
But hey, “Biden didn’t do anything”
I don’t wanna be that guy but it’s funny to me that this is suddenly true after many statements that there is no video and after GenAI/deepfake has hit the mainstream.
