There was a crazy idea a year or so ago that they would impeach Biden and somehow skip Harris and have the speaker of the House become president. Maybe that is their master plan.

I agree, I’ve been in many protests over the years and you could sense when something was not right. Like if the crowd built a platform to hang people on.

The people who want to bring back slavery assume they won’t be the slaves. If they aren’t billionaires then they are making a big assumption.

I guess my statement was too broad, I don’t want to go to any tourist attraction that has that many. I have been in many airports and malls, but not for the joy of experiencing nature or history, my two favorite things.

Although I’d love to see the buildings of the Acropolis I would never go anywhere that has 20,000 visitors a day. Nope.

Are they going to blame Ukrainian drones?

Why do I want to put my hand in there? It just draws me in.

This is exactly their process, if their constituents swallow this as acceptable then feed them the next, slightly worse thing. Slavery was horrible and we haven’t recovered from it as a nation.

Not an expert, but here is where I set up a recurring donation. Apparently Mastadon.world and Lemmy.world are run by the same admins. Took me a while to understand this, please correct me if I’m wrong.

I joined Reddit in 2008 just to see what is was. I was fascinated by the combination of amateurs and experts in very specific areas. The best example was/is askhistorians. The answers by verified experts show up in many a Google search. I loved the animal id communities where experts would identify birds, bugs, spiders, snakes, etc. from blurry phone pictures. I learned so much. What made it successful (to me) was the volunteers who moderated those subreddits and the experts who shared their knowledge and love for their area. There are many other outstanding subreddits than the ones I mentioned. It takes a while to build community, but it can be demolished very quickly.
