To be fair, at the time both were in the camp with Bernie. Fetterman was a vocal supporter of LGBTQ rights, supporting people on picket lines, a bunch of union endorsements, and his glaring blindspot for Israel wasn't clear yet. For a time he wasn't even taking PAC money. I mean Lamb was running ads calling Fetterman a self proclaimed Democratic Socialist, and that sounded fucking great to me. He was also the local candidate for me. He was actually doing hands on work to change the very depressed town of Braddock for the better, in ways no other politician had bothered.

In the moment it didn't really feel like the choice between the lesser of two evils.

Wonder how the cost for this compares to just mounting them higher with some gaps. There was that study where corn (I think) actually had improved yields when grown under panels mounted higher.

Biggest regret I have is voting for him and not Kenyatta. I worried too much that the vote would split between Kenyatta and Fetterman and Lamb would sneak in. The vote for Fetterman vs Oz later on was a bit more black and white.

Part of me would like to see Summer Lee take a shot at the senate, but I also enjoy having her as my rep. One of the few that doesn't accept AIPAC money, is vocal against ICE (and has been showing up to try and get access to their facilities without warning), and doesn't stand for Israel's bullshit. Campaigned for Sanders in '16 and endorsed him again in '20. Great voting record, and has good subcommittee experience.

Some of it is that I believe that the internet in general has become a lot more toxic than it was when Reddit was young. Some of that is manufactured. And let's be real, a lot of people are here because they caught Reddit bans. Some entirely unjustified, yes, but your sampling is going to skew away from the more... sunshine and rainbows crowd.

This thread makes me feel old though, because I remember these same types of posts on band forums back before 2010. The internet be snarky.

To me, Lemmy's biggest failing is that it's just not that funny. Reddit still has a lot of great communities springing up making memes around niche topics and long dead tv shows. Too much of Lemmy is just reposting from Reddit still. It severely lacks people making their own funny content.

Should post this to Highly Interesting.

Any suggestions for a good bang for the buck field recording setup that's small? Will be away from power other than power banks for 4 day stretches.

For context I'm planning on hiking the AT from Georgia to Maine.

Anyone hear the into to Needles playing?

Willing to die in the foxholes they dug right up Trump's ass.

A good lesson in making sure the ability to read your system is widely disseminated.

Where does human sacrifice land on your spectrum of cool?

Are we still doing phrasing?
