What would the steps be for that?

I'm not USAmerican, so I don't know much of the base level stuff there. I think they have a green party or so. But are they a good/distinct enough choice?

May some actually believed it would be a positive choice?

Like, you guys only have two major choices, right? What else can you electorally rather than alternate between them, if you find one lacking. Or you could try to build/back a third party, but when the current status quo is based on the two party system, you mau have to wait for sometime to wait for the 3rd one to grow.

Is IQ a legit measure?

[–] Achyu 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (7 children)

For a USAmerican(or any other person), their primary concern would be their own safety, right?

Unless they can form/support a major third party, they are effectively forced to a two-choice system

Even if they are not racist, if they thought that Trump could be a bit better, or a shock to the system to self-correct, then that maybe a reason why they voted.

I am not USAmerican, but looking at race, didn't the current Rep dictator's voting share increase among Black and Latino voters. His main base is still White tho and I think Black and Latino voters as a votebloc are more likely to vote for dems.

Maybe some were genuinely duped?

Totally logical and humane analysis

Only one nation has ever used atomic weapons on civillians. That nation has done that twice. And the same nation has a habit of threatening nuclear attack and also of carpet bombing.

U S S R(had), P R C and India have a No First use policy for atomic weapons. The nation I mentioned earlier and its allies don't have any such policy. Sure, one may say that No first use stuff is just sly behaviour, then why don't the other countries also do that? Because they want to dominate and control?

That itself shows the difference. Knowing that, this shows how they would rather avoid serious wars that lead to a loss of many lives, unless they are forced to.

I think the most recent documentary film I saw was Sicko. Saw it being shared after the insurance CEO issue.

Just shared a recent example I remember, films from all language or region are ok.

Did not have any major resolutions, but have been exercising decently for a year and half or so.

 

I can search in the bookmarks section and see some bookmarks that I want to remove, but can't select them while in the bookmark search results.

Is there any way to select multiple bookmarks based on a name or link and delete them?

I do know that I can do it by syncing to a PC and deleting it from there, but asking to see if there are alternatives ways.

How do(or how would) you handle this issue?

True centrism that meets in the middle

Find the best available option? Or start your own server with no rules and attract others who want no rules?

I think a good community would have restrictions to avoid unnecessary hate

I think most of my friends and even acquaintances would rush me to a hospital.
I think more than 50% of the people I know would do that.

Regarding genuinely good and trusting my life, that would would be smaller.

A question on the other view tho:
Would you(not OP only) be that genuinely good person for someone? As a guess, in your view how many people would see you like that?

I think only my family and maybe close friends would see me like that.

Regarding getting people to a hospital, I think the 50% stuff would apply to me too.

Aah.
Is there something like the automod feature in reddit?
That would be solution to common misconceptions, right?

Searched the net about it, but most of the articles on List all tabs seems to be on how to remove it

What are your views?
Especially on whether land and education reforms are needed.

 

In your locality, region, state, country etc
Any orgs like that.

Examples from the area I'm from, Kerala:

  1. Kudumbasree or Prosperity of the family
    Org that was setup by the state govt to empower women, reduce poverty etc.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudumbashree

  2. Kerala Sasthra Sahithya Parishad or Kerala Science Literature Movement
    Org with the aim to improve scientific temper
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_Sasthra_Sahithya_Parishad

Another org that I've recently heard about in the state of Maharashtra, India:
Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti or Committee Eradication of Blind Faith, Maharsashtra
Read about how the leader of the org was gunned down by religious extremists

Have been thinking of reducing hair length as it's nearing summer in my place and the temperature is rising. I generally choose a shorter(relatively) hairstyle during the summer and monsoon, because it feels cooler in the former and easier to dry in the second one.

Was thinking about it and remembered reading on how the hair on the head helps to reduce effects of UV rays. I don't stay out in the sun too much, so likely not an issue for me.

Started thinking about what the range of best summer hairstyles would be for people of different hair type(straight, curly, wavy/inbetween both) etc. and asking about it here to see how/what other people on think about it.

 

And what would take for it to be noticed?

 

How often do you clean it too?

One of my bluetooth earphones fell on a footpath, as I was trying to put it back into its case.
Now I'm thinking about the germs that may have gotten on it n all. Generally, I use some sanitizer to clean it from time to time.

Looking to see how others would clean their earphones in such a situation too

 

Decent sleep, diet, exercise etc. would be the basics, so mentioning them first, so that specific info on it would be discussed.
Like any specific exercise that you think would be useful for most people etc, that's not really popular or so?

On exercise, I think light neck exercises and stretches are cool. Do be careful.

Tech stuff:

  1. Generally, Firefox with uBo is awesome on all devices. Some of the extra filters make it more cool.
  2. RSS feeds are awesome.
    RSS-Bridge helps to get feeds for websites that don't offer one.
    Lemmy supports RSS feeds
    Google news feeds can be obtained as RSS feeds by adding /rss:
    https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=SearchTerm Also other operators like when:24h can be used

Android:

  1. Pipepipe and Newpipe have options to use WebM format. It saves data and space. Quite cool.
  2. Skipsilence(Fast forward during silence) option - Pipepipe and Newpipe have it. AntennaPod(for podcasts)
    MPV script with a similar feature: https://codeberg.org/ferreum/mpv-skipsilence
  3. Activity Manager - A foss app that allows to create launchable activities. Can be useful to access and create shortcuts to Android/data folder.
  4. Aard2 is a cool foss Android dictionary app
  5. Markor is a foss Android app for text document and markdown
  6. Seal on Android helps to download yt playlists and since it uses yt-dlp, it can be used on many other websites too. Have used it to listen to Dessalines' audiobooks when I'm offline. They're cool.
  7. Sayboard - foss voice to text keyboard
  8. OCR - foss OCR app using Tesseract (Thanks for the recommendation/reminder by jk43)

PC/Laptop:

  1. In laptops, touchpad gestures are quite cool
  2. Pdf Arranger is quite good for combining or separating pdfs.
  3. In Word or other document editors, there maybe a option to display non-printing characters. Useful to see if too many spaces or tabs are the reason for some formatting issue.
  4. For slides, using notes and narrator view is nice. SlideMaster settings too. I've only used Powerpoint for it, but Libreoffice likely has similar stuff.

Have heard about jxl being useful for reducing image file sizes. Haven't used it much as there is no widespread support. But if you store a lot of jpg images and want to save space, it maybe nice.

General:

  1. Recently have seen a video about the 5 why root cause analysis, which talked about a logic tree to find root causes and that was nice. Obvious, but nice to hear about.
  2. Libretext and Openstax are quite cool for open textbooks on things.

Please do share some things that you find useful.
Any exercises, resources, websites, file formats, apps, techniques etc. that you find useful and think that most/more people would find use with?

Thanks in advance.
