It’s fucked up. We basically elect temporary kings now.

I honestly don’t have a good answer to that. But I think someone like Tim Walz, who has some progressive ideas, but still fits the image of a president for most Americans, is the better choice for the next term.

I don’t make the rules. US is deeply racist and sexist. There isn’t much we can do to change it overnight. Trying to push an ultra progressive candidate will simply mean losing the election. I’ll love to see Bernie or AOC as the president, but most Americans think that they’re Communist, and that’s somehow a deal breaker to them.

I’m literally a fucking socialist. I’m just being pragmatic here.

There may be other reasons, but US has never had a woman president. Ever. I don’t think this is the time to risk it again. Maybe if the dems win once and do well, they can try pushing for AOC next.

Even though AOC is one of the rare American politicians that I like, it’s probably not the best idea to make her the presidential candidate. Simply due to the fact that she’s a woman. The last few dem losses make it clear that America is still very sexist.

Okay, so this was interesting to me, since Bara Dada isn’t really a name. It literally means elder brother in Bengali. (Although most speakers will shorten it to Borda in everyday conversation.) I did a bit of searching, and the quote seems to come from Dwijendranath Tagore, the eldest brother of the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. Rabindranath did refer to Dwijendranath as Bara Dada (Boro Dada would be the better pronunciation) in his writings, and Dwijendranath was a philosopher and poet so it makes sense. The original quote seems to be, “Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians – you are not like him.” which is found in the book The Christ of the Indian Road by E. Stanley Jones.

DEI is basically the modern n word.

If it’s for private usage, take a look at PrivTracker.

I don’t understand how can someone who is not a straight white christian male can be conservative. What are you even trying to conserve? You being oppressed?

I have to imagine that they’re high on their own farts.

No one’s more dangerous than an idiot with power who thinks they’re smart.

Guess who’ll be affected the most?

The most powerful app I’ve ever used for this is 1DM+ (there’s a free version as well). It won’t let you download YouTube videos due to Play Store rules, but everything else pretty much works. I’ve never managed to match its versatility or speed for downloading videos from sites with anything else. (I’d love to replicate it on my Linux machine, if I could.)

I think you mean descendant.

But there are millions of people who think this way. It was, and probably still is, something that some raped women are forced to participate in.

I think the gap stems from need. Most people only learn what they absolutely need to. My sister and I are just 3 years apart in age. Yet I am pretty familiar with tech, while she knows next to nothing. I was always there to fix whatever broke. Even now she knows that if she needs to watch something, she can just ask me to add it to my Jellyfin server. I often have to remote into her system to fix stuff.

The Gen Z we’re talking about here mostly grew up using phones, and phone OSes do their best to hide any complexity away from the user. So they never learnt anything. I’m also technically Gen Z (very early), but growing up in rural India, I had to teach myself how to pirate since streaming wasn’t a thing yet (our internet was too slow for that anyway), and the local theater didn’t play anything except local mainstream cinema.
