I’m aware, just figured it would be a good idea to prioritize those things first, and also use the information I gain to figure out how arbitrary the dates given are.

For example, while logging my spice cabinet just now with the Food Expirations app, I saw that there were a few that were past due that I’m going to look into with how much longer they’d be good for.

Oh thanks! First time adding a new repo to Fdroid. It works now, thanks a million!

Not sure why, but it’s not appearing either in the app or on a desktop browser for me. The link you provided leads to a 404.

Neat, I’m personally gonna keep with KeepassDX, but it’s good knowing that there’s some more variety popping up in the mobile market.

Holy crap, this is perfect! Thanks a million!

Gotta love Hindu nationalism…

I still question the intentions of the media and how a lot of outlets immediate ran to claim his actions as mental health related.

Like sure, I can see where that’s coming from in a sense since self-immolation is inherently self-harm and you have to question a person’s mental health for doing so, but at the same time, I don’t know of anybody off-hand who says the same about the Buddhist monks who did the same in Vietnam.

Maybe times have changed and people don’t see that action the same way as they used to back then, but if they are going to call this a result of mental health, I really hope they keep consistency with that from here on forward.

Huh, thanks for making me aware of this. I’ll look into this more. Genuinely appreciate the insight.

Was sarcasm.

Also can’t see downvotes on my instance. Not sure why.

I can say agree to disagree here, but really I guess we’ll have to see what happens between now and November. Honestly it’s a bit of a relief to have more good-faith discussion here, so can say I definitely appreciate that.

I don’t they’ll vote for Trump either, it’s more likely that they’ll vote for an independent or third-party candidate or just stay at home.

I could absolutely be wrong about seeing the primary as an indicator for what could happen in the federal election, but Biden’s massive drop in support in polling from Arab Americans and young people has me really concerned, even if Trump isn’t picking up that lost support for himself.

Biden and Trump are far from strong candidates. While she performed like crap with Republican primary voters, polling showed that in a general election Nikki Haley would have destroyed Biden in an election. In a similar sense, polls showed Trump losing the general election if facing “a generic Democrat” that wasn’t Biden.

Overall, I don’t want Biden running, hell I’d have any Democrat take his place. I don’t like Kamala, but when compared to Biden, I feel she would have a better chance at beating Trump than he does. However, if Biden’s not going to pass the torch to a better-performing Democrat, he can’t take these risks losing crucial voters like this in my mind.

I’m not familiar with overall demographics, but an important demographic for Democrats is Arab Americans and young people, where Democrats have had a stronghold on them for some time now.

Biden used to have I think it was 60% support among Arab Americans. Then after October 7th that support tanked, and all you have to do is look at Michigan’s uncommitted vote in the primaries to see the effect that it’s had for his support with them and young voters, especially in communities like Dearborn.

Like at first glance the Michigan polls show that Biden completely dominated the primary, but you also have to keep in mind that the Uncommitted movement was aiming for maybe 20k votes at most. Instead they got over 100k votes.

Back in 2016 Hillary Clinton lost Michigan to Trump by an incredibly small margin. When you add together the Uncommitted votes with the votes for Marianne Williamson and Dean Phillips (who I understand has dropped out and has the same stance as Biden), you get an amount similar to that which Hillary lost by.

Arab Americans and young people have made their voice clear in focus groups that while some of them will not vote for Biden come the federal election, others will if he just simply condemns Israel properly and stop sending them weapons and aid while also calling for a ceasefire. Biden can either lose these crucial votes and possibly lose Michigan to Trump, or he can do what the voters want and regain at least some of their support come November.

Hm, almost as though Democrats should be pressured by voters to abolish the electoral college… wonder what will change their stance on that.

Maybe… if the Democrats saw their support weakening as a result of their terrible policies… hmmmm.

You know what also helps third parties? Votes.

Without votes what purpose do they have in continuing?

At what point did they say that? Of course the Republicans are miles worse than the Democrats, but why should people sit there and be like “oh, let me just vote for genocide lite when the other party is genocide standard”

Edit: slight edit since Kbin notifs are weird.

You need to do some critical thinking. Vote for the person who best aligns with your beliefs, not which of the two big names you hate less.

Ah yes, label me as a Trump sympathizer, cause that definitely helps your cause with the average joe.

Edit: This you calling me a Russian agent?

Amazing. Not a single mention of Palestine.

Putting his backing of Netanyahu aside, there’s a number of things he could do to up his popularity. Naming two from the top of my head, he could forgive medical debt at the federal level and federally legalize marijuana and remove it as a Schedule 1 drug.

This should have been done sooner, we’ve known since basically the beginning of this entire ordeal that the majority of the heads of Hamas relocated to Qatar.

Israel and it’s allies could have easily made negotiations with Qatar to hand over the Hamas leaders and accomplished a ceasefire sooner using that as leverage, but instead, because Israel’s government has ulterior motives with illegally settling Gaza, they basically erase the existence of the northern portion and have real estate companies advertising new developments on the seafront where Palestinian homes used to be.

The Quebec injunction makes sense. Not equating the two by any means, but I remember when they started setting a mandatory distance for protests at abortion providers and that made sense seeing how people should feel safe when accessing places.

Protesting at synagogues is incredibly stupid and accomplishes nothing other than create resentment against those protesting for the rights of Palestinians. My only issue with the article is that it doesn’t mention what specific antisemitic phrases were said, cause I know there’s this thing going around of people equating protestors saying “from the river to the sea” and their intentions with the phrase with the intentions of Hamas when they say they phrase.
