Sooner or later, people will get confused and we’ll end up with a crop of solarbeans. :)

Holy misleading project name, Batman!

At first, I read “wedding robots” and my mind went in weird directions. :)

If you ever need to ask yourself this, you ain’t no friend of mine…

They don’t seem to be getting destroyed, though…

I think they chose to focus more on the human warmth and positive vibes, and, dare I say, normalcy, to contrast with Trump’s themes of hate and inhumanity that his campaign even seems to be ratcheting up in these final days.

He smirked at the compliment. “What’s discipline got to do with winning?”

That right there tells me all I ever want to know about Trump and how he sees competition.

Not an American, so I do not feel called out, nor do I care about downvotes from idiots who think Lemmy threads are here to be won or lost by getting or giving out good and bad points. :)

EDIT: By “idiots”, I didn’t necessarily mean you. Only after posting this comment I realized that it could be understood that way. Sorry.

Thanks, now that makes things clearer - on Wikipedia, I noticed this “if resident of a US state” exception for voting, but I automatically dismissed it as unimportant, thinking “eh, that has to be a very small fraction of Puerto Ricans”.

Thanks everyone for the informative responses - as a non-US person, I wasn’t aware of the intricacies of Puerto Rico’s unusual voting situation. 👍

Wait, I thought Puerto Rico residents cannot vote in the presidential elections. Even Wikipedia seems to think so.

That’s an odd way to misspell “young incels”…

Could we actually get both of those rich assholes into an arena and let them fight it out?

Even NY Times is starting to see the writing on the wall, and is starting to hedge.

So now he’s conning gullible seniors also out of their military decorations? If it was anyone else, I’d say it’s a new low, but for Trump, it’s a new middle.

And even that is debatable. Japanese surrender came shortly after a quick succession of several events - the first bomb at Hiroshima, Soviet Union declaring war and invading continental Japanese land, the second bomb at Nagasaki, allies completely obliterating Japanese navy, and preparing to invade their home islands, etc.

Many argue that Japan would surrender even without the two nuclear bombs.

Yep, most of my non-tech friends just say “Ads? Oh yeah, I don’t even notice them anymore, I got so used to them.” whenever that topic pops up in a conversation.

Enshittification actually does work, but only up to a point. Unfortunately, all the corporations have all the subtlety of a Sherman tank, so they always go all in on it.

There is nebula.tv which works like that, but it lacks content. I am a subscriber, but I’m running out of interesting content to watch there.

OBviously there is network effect in play here. If Youtube switched to subs-only model tomorrow, they would have much wider content offer from the get-go.
