Which unfortunately will never get anywhere because the Republicans are almost guaranteed to win back the Senate...

It really sucks. Either Trump wins and gets the trifecta of control letting the fascists at the heritage foundation run rampant or Kamala wins but still loses the Senate and we get nothing but the statue quo for at least 2 more years... But if anything the Republicans will gain seats in the next cycle because they can point to the previous 2 years of nothing (caused by them) as evidence that Democrats suck...

Big sad. :(

That's quite a metal headline.

Yeah but unfortunately that's never going to change. Inflation is the rate of increase and they always want a rate of increase, just at 2%.

It's never going to go negative because growth for the growth gods!! :(

I think it's an issue with entertaining themselves. Extroverts seek entertainment through social interaction while introverts tend to be able to entertain themselves just fine.

God this is so fake!

Everyone knows they didn't have that headlight design until 1778!

Hell yeah! Thanks for the welcome!

I can't help anymore than I already have. I'm not posting personal information to prove anything. I really don't know why you're so dead set on being convinced I'm not from the US.

If I was trying to influence people by being deceptive don't you think I'd avoid having a foreign instance? I'd have like America.Patriot.Eagle or some nonsense lol

I'm from Suffolk county so...:

Edit: I had to come back to this because it just hit me, if you were able to tell that most prices really are wayyyyy higher than 300k are you from NY too? That would be absolutely wild out of all the people on here we'd end up having this discussion as "neighbors!" Small world and all that shit lol

My kitchen! Lol

My grandma taught me how to make a fried pizza years ago and now that's all I want to make when I want pizza lol

If you didn't believe me before what would it matter if I told you I'm from NY and specifically long island? I could tell you I hate the L.I.E with every fiber of my being, that housing prices for glorified shacks that look like they burned down twice are going for 300k, and that the ocean parkway is a decent way to get around shit traffic on sunrise highway. I don't know how a random person on the Internet is supposed to prove that is true though.

You could also just check my comment history, I've mentioned where I'm from a number of times. It's one of the reasons I don't delete my history, so if anyone questions "who I am" they can just check it. Just be warned, there's a bunch of stupid comments, exasperation, and self loathing there lol

Not that it matters, but at least I didn't downvote you. I understand the skepticism

Lol I can understand the confusion, but I really am an American in America. I came over from the reddit exodus last year and lemmy.world couldn't handle all the new people for a time so I swapped over to a smaller instance that happens to be from the Netherlands.

I hope you don't mind me squatting here feddit.nl :P

Ughh... Learn how it works people. We had 2 conservative "Democrat" (golly gee look how Manchild is not a Democrat anymore literally...) senators deny everything from 2020-2022, then we lost the house to Republicans who's idea of bipartisanship is to give Democrats the finger all the time from 2022-2024... Sooo what exactly could we do?

Then there's the extra special people who want to "balance" by voting D president and R representatives... Ffs... That shit died when Gingrich started his "my way or go fuck yourself" brand of politics...
