I'd suggest that, if there's a topic over on reddit that has topics you're interested in, try starting a thread over here on that topic, even if the community here is "dead". Because "dead" communities can be resurrected, they just need activity. Asking a question on a topic is activity; posting an answer to the question (even if it's your own question and you had to go to reddit for the answer) is activity and provides a resource here for other people to use. And if it's something you found out on your own but it's not new, try posting a YSK or TIL in the appropriate local community. You may not get replies, but we're not going to become a fully viable alternative unless people contribute little bits where they can.
Why would you expect an aggregator-and-comment site bought and rebranded by reddit-cofounder O'Hanian to end up significantly different than his other aggregator-and-comment site?
He went through his last term with a whole bunch of 'acting' officials without them being approved by the Senate; he's going to rely on that precedent here.
She's already gutted the Constitution. She helped evolve the argument that (and then voted that) he's immune to anything he can claim as an "official act", and now everything will be an "official act". She helped him get back into office, now he can ignore the courts, including the Supreme Court - we already know no one is going to stop him. She had the chance to stop this and she failed.
They have options to add in like birdsong and wind chimes to your personalized mix. The idea isn't necessarily to drown out the noise you're hearing, it's too make the noise more acceptable.
Like loud diesel trucks drive me nuts. But I toss on a thunderstorm, maybe a bit of purring cat, and I can ignore them.
Have you tried a white noise generator for your sleeping issues? There are several early available, I happen to use TMSoft's White Noise. It has a lot of options for sound. I use a mix of pink noise for overall masking, heavy rain to make the pink noise more palatable than a plain hum, and an extreme thunderstorm - adding the extra thunder helps me sleep through bass sounds like vacuum cleaners and garbage trucks.
People born after 1957 and vaxxed before 1967 (vax was less effective), people who only got a single shot until the mid-70's (accidentally under-vaxxed), immune compromised/suppressed ...
It'll continue to spread, as well. Last Friday, someone with contagious measles spent hours touring 2 Texas campuses, hours in college bars and restaurants, and hours in crowded tourist attractions. Next Friday, one of those colleges starts spring break - and it takes 2 weeks for the rash to start showing up. Some of those college students will have caught measles and will go on spring break, where they'll spread measles to other spring breakers. Three weeks from now, there'll be outbreaks in every state in the Union.
If you weren't vaxxed, you were under-vaxxed, not sure if you got vaxxed, or think the vax might not have taken, now it's an excellent time to get vaxxed.
This 'poll' assumes a level of awareness and self-reflection that I'm not sure most Trump voters actually have.
Edit: the feelings quoted in the article seem to mostly be a reaction to the effects of his policies, not (generally) a dissatisfaction with the policies themselves or him personally. That means they'll find some way to justify both him and the Republican party in future. Nothing's changed, nor will it.
How do you handle returns, defective merchandise, warranties? If I buy something from you and something goes wrong with it, I'm not going to like being fobbed off with "hey, go talk to Tina". If they return-ship something to you instead of Tina, who pays to ship it back to Tina?
You are allowed to toast people who aren't present, you know that, right?
