Here's an idea, I'll do what I want!
Some people, honestly....

Escape to Canada only works if Trump is prevented from consolidating power and you just want to get away from the people who elected him.
Still a big upgrade from the US, just saying that it might only be temporary.
If I was American, I'd absolutely, positively be pulling all nighters to find a way to emigrate.
Being in Canada, I'm already working on plans to leave. I'm not getting stuck here if absolute power seeking dude who talks about taking Canada and Greenland (and gets caught trying to take Greenland) gets absolute power. Fuck that shit, I give it 12 months once Trump crosses the rubicon before hen uses his sharpie to move the border.
Well my reply to that would be that it's as dumb as saying you'll never use Google because it shows you porn sometimes.
For general searches that are common knowledge, it's a very good tool for fetching information. No it's not perfect so don't take anything from it to the bank.
But for discussion purposes? More than good enough, no more subject to error than real humans and almost always more accurate and thorough.
Quick AI assisted search gives this:
There are currently 13 black mayors of major cities in the United States. The cities with black mayors include:
- Los Angeles, California
- Chicago, Illinois
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- Charlotte, North Carolina
- Washington, D.C.
- Memphis, Tennessee
- Baltimore, Maryland
- Milwaukee, Wisconsin
- Atlanta, Georgia
- Detroit, Michigan
- Tulsa, Oklahoma
- Killeen, Texas
- New Orleans, Louisiana (Mayor LaToya Cantrell)
Don't know if this is an exhaustive list of black mayors of major cities, but it definitely is a familiar sounding list
I think this is legitimately it.
This isn't sycophantic, it's desperation. They're watching the future of their industry (mRNA) disappear right in front of them, along with the related money.
They need Trump to get it in his head that the vaccine makes him a hero, so that MAGA will come around on vaccines and keep them rich.
No doubt in my mind. I bet that hurt to come out and say publicly.
Tbh I'm not sure the average Reddit user is who we want to attract here anyway. Not to be elitist, but there might be a benefit to at least some barrier to entry. From a bot/spam/troll perspective as well.
Here from Reddit, have high hopes. This is a marketing problem though, I doubt even 1% of Reddit users know of something like lemmy at all
Not quite. I can put a good number of countries and militaries between myself and Putin there.
I'm literally in a spot where the US military would set up on day 1 if things went that way.
So yes, point taken but it's really apples and oranges. For now.
