Okay but is it worth more than a cool leaf?
Yes, when people are explaining the results of the 2024 election they are going to look to an obscure federated social media. 🙄
Even if Kamala is the only alternative, my point is that Kamala losing doesn't mean Joe would have won, and her winning doesn't mean he would have lost.
You are the most disingenuous person I have ever spoken to here. Literally everything you speak is inversion or strawman of what people are saying. And your sarcasm is of the most overbearing quality.
conflating non-voting leftists with Trump supporters is completely ridiculous and bad faith
You are terminally online if you believe most nonvoters are leftists, or even politically engaged. This is why your rhetoric sucks, because you don't even know the people you need to reach in order to accomplish your goals.
people who don't vote are actually the only real leftists
This really sounds like projection. You think anyone who fails to vote doesn't deserve to call themselves a leftist, hence the whole "Trumpists" thing.
everyone knows that the billionaire class hates when people are apathetic
I imagine most of your perceived opposition is not politically apathetic, and you know that. Also voting is far from the apex of political activity. If what you really care about is political apathy though you should really stop posting and go door to door, you're in a bubble on Lemmy and you are going to reach those people.
refusing to represent your interests in government is the best thing you can do to further the cause of communism
I'm honestly not even sure what you are trying to say here. Nonvoters are communists? The path to communism is voting? Please share some of that good stuff.
This is illogical. That's impossible to know unless you have a looking glass into the alternate timeline where Biden doesn't drop out, as well as the timelines of different people replacing him.
The title would imply the community isn't about people who actually don't vote, which are many, and rather Trumpists claiming to be nonvoters and trying to specifically convince people who would vote Democrat not to vote. If you actually believe that people who just don't vote are"Trumpists" you are delusional and your rhetoric is only going to harm your cause. I'm do vote by the way, most importantly in local elections.
Yeah. And it will change if someone guesses that word after you do
There's technically a slight advantage because someone hunting for rare words might move off of your word because it is not a unicorn. However that is only true if you go back to your puzzle later and fix any words that went down in rarity, if you aren't going to do that then playing later is probably better.
How could the far left be fucking anything up in this country when the far left doesn't hold any real power here? How about you say things that actually make sense.
Are people using what is essentially old Google Pagerank to determine how relevant articles are? It should be known by now that such a system is highly abusable.
So reactionary, you going to start complaining about loud blue haired feminists next? Apparently it is too much to acknowledge those who can't advocate for themselves, but perfectly fine to participate in their genocide.
Obviously by AI they mean stuff like ChatGPT. An energy intensive toy where the goal is to get it into the hands of as many paying customers as possible. And you're doing free PR for them by associating it with useful small scale research projects. I don't think most researchers will want to associate their projects with AI now that the term has been poisoned, though they might have to because many bigwigs have been sucked into the hype. The term AI has basically existed nebulously since the beginning of computing, so whether we call one thing or another AI is basically personal taste. Companies like OpenAI have successfully attached their product to the term and have created the strongest association, so ultimately if you say AI in a contemporary context a lot of people are hearing GPT-like.
I'm in multiple left circles and had literally never heard such a thing, this is a conservative strawman.
The fact that you can't detect sarcasm doesn't make you special (looking at all the down votes that person got).
Am I misunderstanding these features or do they just not work?
I have "Show Read Posts" toggled off and "Mark Read on Scroll" toggled on. I would think that after scrolling past a bunch of posts and then refreshing that would then clear those posts from my feed, but it doesn't seem to be working. Am I misunderstanding this feature? And if so can we get something like it? I do not want to see the same thing over and over again but I also don't want to manually hide every post.
What team did you use in the Aetherium Wars championship?
Automaton Spider was the core of my team, it's increasing speed means it eventually is taking 4 turns per enemy turn. This is broken in combination with the Attack Interception expansion. The other expansion I went with was Computation Lock for a free 75% attack.
The overlord unit I used was the Aurumaton Gatekeeper. If you equip it with Saturated Activation and Sudden Injection then on its first turn it can debuff all enemies and massively delay two of them, this gives Spider the time it needs to ramp.
I used Bubbles for sustain, their damage doesn't matter so I equiped them with Firewall and Safe Mode for 100% increased health to empower their heals and soak. I gave them Functional Overdraft so they can heal significantly more often. And since they take their turn frequently they are holding Deep Clean for team cleanse.
My last unit wasn't as important to the team as the other three, but it was a Silvermane Cannoneer. They will always get their max follow ups off if they use skill on Aurumaton turn one and then switch to Spider after that. Their ult can be used to give Aurumaton two energy so that it can do it's AoE Impair -> Sanction Mode -> Imprison combo immediately after leaving Sanction Mode which is very powerful. Backstage Enhancement is great damage for them and Efficiency Optimization let's them always have ult on time.
The Morale Activation expansion is incredibly powerful with this team as every unit is taking multiple actions for every enemy action. I had Aurumaton hold it but any unit on the team could hold it really.
If this team survives just a couple cycles it's basically unkillable, and that is not hard to do with the massive debuffs from Aurumaton and sustain from Bubbles.
Interested in hearing about other people's teams in this event as I'm sure there are many powerful combinations.
