Resonosity

There are indoor grow tents available for $100-400.

I'd probably put one of these in a spare bedroom if I had one, or at the very least next to a window in case I need to manage humidity on a short notice.

Yarrr!

I don't think I'm banned. I left with the API Exodus. I do like Lemmy more now because of more free speech and control over what information I see

Same idea behind conspiracy theories.

Uncertainty is scary. Instead of feeling that fear (and turning to a project like science), any imagination that explains the unknown will work.

One State. Simple

Ew AI slop

Thanks for the context! I should disclose that I didn't read the rules of the sub before engaging, but I should have. I'll keep this in mind for the next hexbear post I comment on, if hexbear will have me

Thanks for the context. We'll see if the comment gets reinstated. It's probably a good policy since I'm guessing moderation tools on Lemmy aren't the best, and you have to start trimming away bigoted comments, perceived or real, at some point.

I used the term "man" not to call you specifically a man, but as a turn of phrase as would be used in normal speech irl.

As in, "maaaaaaaaaan when can I get a day off" or "man, I can stand this wait time!".

I was not making any claim towards your gender, nor casting any judgement. I think all genders are equally valid.

I'd appreciate if you would undelete my command to serve as a learning opportunity, unless hexbear as an instance doesn't value that.

Couldn't have been successive gerrymandering, anti-voting laws, Democrats becoming Republican-Lite, increasing inflation, steadying wages, Democrats actively touting policies against the popular public mindset, Democrats failing to advertise their wins, Joe Biden going back on his word and waiting too long to drop out, Joe Biden and establishment Dems muting Kamala's & Tim's popular, progressive agenda, Joe Biden dropping out to force the least liked Californian politician to be the presidential front runner, Kamala literally saying she's no different from Joe Biden, that we don't have a federal holiday to allow all people the freedom to step away from the lifeline that is work to exercise their civic duty, on and on.

Nah, it wasn't the system. People are just dumb.

And they are! Hell, I remember seeing interviews on Election Day where people still thought that it was Biden v. Trump. Even Trump forgot he wasn't campaigning against Biden.

Democrats snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. They could have accounted for all of these social issues, but establishment leadership doesn't care for the working class if it means they still get their paycheck and their spotlight in Congress.

And then think about how the Democrats could have campaigned those people rather than chasing Republicans by adopting anti-immigration policies and platforming people like Liz Cheney, for example.

But they didn't.

Welcome to adulthood. Establishment politicians, whether Republican or Democrat, are beholden to the rich and neoliberalism. We're even seeing this with how establishment Dems are pushing back against populist, progressive figures like Bernie Sanders and AOC in favor of Cory Booker and Chris Murphy.

AND then consider how Joe Biden is coming back from the brink of death by saying that he and Jill will build back the Democratic party, thinking that people will forget how Biden shot down Bernie's chances in 2020 or how he said he'd be a single term president, waiting until the first presidential debate with Trump months before the election to show just how fucking incompetent he is.

Maybe more people abstained from this election because the two biggest parties didn't look any different, so who cares about the outcome!
