Yes and no. Gerrymandering heavily influences the outcomes of elections.

World News@beehaw.org•Super-rich warned of ‘pitchforks and torches’ unless they tackle inequalityEnglish
0·3 years agoSurely their huge stacks of money will protect them from the bullets, right? Right???

Movies and TV Shows@lemmy.film•Movies similar to SuperbadEnglish
8·3 years agoNapoleon Dynamite is like if Superbad was nothing but that scene of Michael Cera singing “These Eyes” by The Guess Who. Just 100% cringe, awkward interactions between the main characters. Like an inside joke that literally nobody is meant to get, even the people “in” on the joke.
Honorable mentions: Nacho Libre (similar in its randomness), Wayne’s World (a classic) and Road Trip (similar to Superbad in its frat humor).

World News@beehaw.org•Republicans Declare Banning Universal Free School Meals a 2024 Priority
1·3 years agoI would rather see my taxes go to feed every single kid in this country, poor or rich, than see another cent go into our absurdly bloated military budget, militarization of our police forces, and tax cuts for the rich. THAT is why everyone here is missing the fine print. You don’t need to read between the lines to see that haggling down what little the working class has is an exercise in cruelty. It’s ridiculous to penny-pinch social safety nets. Period.

Literature@beehaw.org•What is the most disturbing book you have ever read?
1·3 years agoThe Blood Bond saga. I’m just so genuinely baffled as to how the everloving f*ck it has such high ratings. By the time I was halfway through the first book I was hate-reading it. Pushed myself to finish the whole saga because it was so bad it made me feel comparatively good about myself and my life decisions. I now have zero doubts that anyone in this world can become a published author, including me. But also, this has me seriously worried that ANYONE in this world can become a published author… including me :/

Beehaw Support@beehaw.org•ANNOUNCEMENT: defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.worksEnglish
16·3 years agoA completely understandable and logical step. It’s simpler for a member to log into another instance if they want to keep interacting with lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works than to deal with the constant violations. I for one appreciate you guys keeping this a friendly community… sometimes it’s nice to take a break from toxic content!

Chat@beehaw.org•The Reddit blackout was pretty underwhelmingEnglish
0·3 years agoI had a lot of hope in the lead-up to the initial 2 day blackout, but after seeing literally zero coverage about this across other media platforms I now know there will be no backpedaling on the API changes. The best we can hope for is affecting their income from ads a tiny bit.

World News@beehaw.org•Workers are historically stressed out and disengaged
6·3 years agoProbably wouldn’t be the case if people could actually afford anything with the meager wages allotted.
So it’s just regular ol’ price gouging going on at this point? Got it.

World News@beehaw.org•Instant Brands - maker of the Instant Pot - files for bankruptcyEnglish
0·3 years agoI basically only ever use my instant pot if I’m 1) cooking a lot of something at once or 2) the weather is too hot for cooking on the stove/oven. Poor thing’s collecting dust waiting for a day when I’ll finally want 6 quarts of chicken noodle soup lol

Technology@beehaw.org•Apollo for Reddit is shutting downEnglish
10·3 years agoSure perhaps it’s not the best but for iOS it’s as close to a native app experience as possible, and ad free.



I’m in the process of selling my current car to my sibling so I can get something more fuel efficient with a hatchback. Have my eye on something specific and hopefully nobody snags it up before saturday!
