You misunderstand, I only mean that it’s disconcerting that there may be some reason that cis-women do not find the hobby/group appealing

I was just asleep for three and I do not feel well rested.

I know ghost has a container deployment and uses activity pub

I do wonder how many within the man/woman responses are trans, too.

Idk if that survey was mainly advertised on lemmy, but i know that at least one instance that did a survey had maybe 2% woman respondents, but more than two thirds of those were transfem.

Either way, a little disconcerting. I’m not sure what to make of that or what (if anything) to do about it

This might be a controversial take, but I don’t think racist bigotry is an intelligence thing

The study and measure of intelligence itself is a piece of the rationalization of racism.

We owe a lot of our scientific inheritance to genociders and racists and eugenicists - I wouldn’t be quick to assume the MAGA base is just a bunch of dimwitted Americans.

Maybe because that shortage lasted about a week

If you live in America, you already are.

People forget about how much it felt like labor and employment were about to be revolutionized for the better back then. It really seemed like employers were finally going to be forced to adapt to better conditions.

Now it feels like that’s all being undone. How many companies still have their remote work options? How many people are willing to leave their jobs for something better now?

I’ll admit that I was one of the privileged few who were comfortable and secure during the pandemic: i had a job that could be remote without issue and i lived in a city that took precautions seriously

But

• remote employment was a 100% improvement to being stuck in my office and in a toxic environment
• because I was remote, there was no pressure to work extra hours when my projects didn’t require it, which meant my work-life balance was much better
• the student loan moratorium helped me and my wife finally save up for a house down-payment and get ahead on our debt
• with the extra financial and work security, I finally reached a healthy weight and was the most fit i had been since college

Now, my weight is back up, my job is much less secure, my finances are strained again, and I feel like our future financial security is in question because the economy is dominated by two or three companies that may come crashing back down if AI turns out to be a bubble

This question is so subjective and incredibly personal, so i question the utility of it. But there’s no question for me about how precarious my personal situation feels now vs back in 2020. Back then, our primaries and much of the Campaign revolved around questions that had significant impacts on my life, but this cycle none of what is being discussed in the campaigns have much to do with my personal security. I don’t know if my remote job will last, I don’t know how long my house (that I bought in 2021 thanks to covid stimulus efforts) will be worth more than my mortgage, I don’t know if the items I rely on will continue inflating in cost or not, ect.

Again, I’m incredibly privileged. But democrats have switched focus to what happens if Trump wins, instead of focusing on what happens if they win. Seems like nothing significant is on the table for my family’s security, and that doesn’t comfort me at all. There’s just no hope in this election, all there seems to be is fear.

Like I said, it’s incredibly naive to think this problem goes away when Trump does.

Like how democrats splintered and fragmented when Biden stepped down?

They’ll reform and continue gaining power in lower-level positions until the next election, like they’ve been doing since 2020

I cannot emphasize how naieve it is to think this problem will go away if all we do is beat trump, or even if he dies or gets incarcerated.

The US has a growing fascism problem

It does not go away with Trump. I wish democrats would address it instead of pointing at Trump like he’s an aberration

Looks like they had a second mic, but it didn’t work either

My money is on someone pulling the plug mid speech

Lmao

They fell below their 5% target, coming in at 4.6%

For reference, the US is projected to slow to 2% growth in 2024

He sits in that interview for like 30 minutes, and nothing about it seemed off to me. Just as scattered as he’s always been.

This entire article is sensationalized. Bongino doesn’t even really seem phased when trump says he’s gotta go.

edit: the split reception on this extremely mild take about political news coverage is about all you need to know about the knife’s edge lemmy.world is sitting on.

I had to go out and look for this video, because the link either doesn’t have it or my adblock got it, but honestly this seems like a pretty normal interview for him. I’d say this is about on-par with his interviews with people like Aiden Ross or other podcasts he’s probably unfamiliar with - he seems bored and a little unsure of his audience, but not, like, falling asleep or anything.

Idk. He seems maybe a little tired? But I wouldn’t say he ended the interview that abruptly, and Bongino seems bummed but not confused like they say in the article.

I only mention it because i’ve seen a couple headlines like this in the last few days, and i’m getting the impression that it’s not as much of a story as they’re making it out to be. Maybe they’re trying to goad him into another debate or more public appearances?

I don’t know. He’s not anywhere near the level Biden was at the peak of calls for him stepping down - and even then, most democrats still dismissed it as over-exaggerated. It certainly cheapens and makes me doubt other claims of ill-health or un-fitness.
