  • Why use a ratio of the length of the Earth? Why not the Moon? Or the Sun? Or Mars?

  • It's typically best not to use things dependent on wealth to assess age groups. A kid growing up in Hamtramck had very different experiences from a kid growing up in Birmingham Michigan, even though those two areas are only 10 miles apart.

  • Depends on the cutoff line. But i would typically say Zoomers are too young to remember 9/11 and old enough to have grown up with Marvel movies. Born late 90's-early 2010's. 30 is around the cutoff between Millennials and Zoomers so that wwill come down to individuals. But also, generations are pretty suspect as a concept outside of the Baby Boomers since that was an actual charatable phenomen

  • I would say it is true and polls reflect it. Democrats have spent the past 2 decades promising one thing and then giving up after the first hurdle. They gave up trying to reach anyone outside of major cities, and regularly sell out their base in the interest of "gaining moderates". They have lost their credibility with pretty much everyone but yuppies. That's why a self proclaimed socialist like Sanders polls so well in places that are 75% Pro Trump.

  • So the heater takes all energy you put into it and turns it into heat at a 100% efficiency

  • What happens when photons emitted from the heater hit items in the room? That energy is imparted into the object, heating it up.

  • Light is just heat energy

  • Amazon has more money than most countries. They can outlast any company in court, or just ban you from their services in the future.

  • I'm not giving you right wing propaganda. I am trying to get you to understand that in a democracy, you have to show the voters that you are doing something to benefit them, or tell them what you are going to do that will benefit them. The only ones who have seen their lives improve in the past 20 years are the wealthy, so when one party says they are going to maintain the status quo, citing numbers that don't mean squat to 90% of the electorate, and the other party says they are going to tear it all down and build up something else, it is no surprise that the public will choose option 2. That's what has been happening across the entire world as the neoliberal foundations society has been built on start collapsing.

    You are viewing voters as rational actors which they are not.

  • I am saying it was the thing he was most successful at. Which is again, more accomplishments than you have listed.

  • I have been pretty much tofu exclusive since it costs about $1.79 a pound here

  • Or you can get a window unit if you want your bedroom cooler in the summer and a heated blanket for the winter for a fraction of the cost. And once again, neither of those options will spy on you or stop working just because Amazon shit the bed 1000 miles away from where you live. My parents have a high end mattress that tilts but it doesn't need an Internet connection, and cost half the price of this thing. IoT devices are a luxury tax on people too stupid for all their money.

  • The top 1% of earners in the US made over $1 million last year. I doubt any lemmy users are in that category.

  • I have a mattress i purchased for $100 of my buddy when he moved out the country. He ordered it online the year before for $400. I can just throw it on the ground and sleep on it no problem when i move. Not sure why a mattress would ever need an Internet connection other than to spy on you

  • So once again you have just said "they do great things" but provide no examples. All i saw Biden do was send Ukraine loads of weapons, give up after the first hurdle on cancelling student debt (which was just a band-aid solution anyway) and then spend 3 months building a pier in Gaza that was immediately destroyed. If the did great things, why didn't they plaster the airwaves with their accomplishments during the election? And when leftists do run their own candidates they are criticized for not falling in line and costing the election.

  • What great things? Because more people were living paycheck to paycheck in 2024 than at any point since WW2. Dems spent all of 2024 talking about how great things are while everyone's lives were falling apart. Biden was told by the Supreme Court that he could do whatever he wanted and it wasn't illegal, but he chose to do nothing. Now the same thing is happening in Europe and Canada while the neoliberal parties continue to learn nothing.
