She never made a real attempt to meet the voters where they were.

LITERALLY. Didn't visit Wisconsin during the entire campaign.

Why do you think that? A quick glance at the sticker for the air heater at the top of the pic is a surge giveaway that it is NOT AI-generated.

"Biden wins the election. Here's why that's bad for Biden."

She self-imploded her own primary campaign, so no.

Doesn't matter when there won't be another election to spend it on.

Maps. There's still unfortunately nothing better.

RIP anything made of linen.

Bro has never owned a piece of clothing made of linen in his life.

I quite like the originals. While I'm big fan of spicy stuff (I get one level down from maximum spicy at a local Indian place), I tried x2 and saw a glimmer of what people might like about it, but it was a step too far for me, where it lost flavor for the sake of spiciness. x3 has got to be straight battery acid. I don't know how any human can buy those saying "Yep, this is the level I enjoy."

This is the way.

Mmmmm... silica.

Angry noodle necks.

I mean I’m not super sure if geese “adopt” other goslings

Not sure how close duck behavior is to goose, but I watched a mama duck assault the ever-living fuck out of a duckling following her until it ran off cheeping furiously and hiding in a bush. I assume that it was part of another nearby clutch as there were a lot of ducks in the area, and she was having none of it.

I was trying to point out the hypocrisy of branding your instance to be about privacy and security when tankie-glorified regimes don't respect that at all, and they're instead mildly pushing people in that direction. Why not use something from the EFF pages on those topics? Nice strawman, though.

Joined Lemmy.ml because it was supposed to be a security, privacy and FOSS focused community

Yep that's the line the developers put up there to lure people in. It's mildly disingenuous at best. Having to copy a line from a document titled "The Principles of Communism" just to sign up should've tipped you off that something was a bit weird.

Join an instance that has more lax federation standards and subscribe to the ml communities you care about, or get comfortable with defederation and people from other instances discarding your opinions. It's a choice you need to make.

Went under about two years after the crowdfunding. Guess people didn't want to pay $2 a pop for chilled and filtered tap water.

That is quite simple. You're the only one to provide a coherent answer so far so thanks for that.

I'm looking for a bit more info though. Did you get any other benefits besides the equivalent of warm fuzzies? Sounds like an extremely outsized cost/benefit assessment you had to confirm.

Why was it worth it? What benefits did you gain from the change?

Probably RT.

I know the response will be what you already said in a previous comment about companies saying "trust us bro" so I'll take the L on this one.
