“May have just legalized murder by one individual”: Experts alarmed at “stunning” SCOTUS ruling
  • Problem is, it’s up to the courts to decide what is and isn’t “official us business”. As of now, everything Trump does will be “official”, and nothing Biden does would be “official”.

    Doesn’t matter what is fair and even cause Republicans don’t play by that game.

  • America’s big problem is not Joe Biden, it’s the menace to democracy posed by Donald Trump
  • I get that, but part of the issue is optics. The Democratic party can easily promote the narrative that "progressive" ideals are not far left.

    Hillary Clinton said in a debate that Medicare for all will never be implemented. She didn't say that because she believed it, or even that she wanted it to be true. She said it because her opponent was running on that platform and gaining a massive following of mainstream voters as a result.

    The party needs to quit reacting when Republicans say they are "far left" and instead fight to control the narrative. I guarantee the "old and conservative" democratic voters would follow suit if the party pushed for it.

  • America’s big problem is not Joe Biden, it’s the menace to democracy posed by Donald Trump
  • Democrats are so afraid of being called "Far Left" that they end up being much further right than most Democrat's want. Fact is, progressive democrats aren't even "Far Left". They need to quit playing onto they narrative cause it's not true.

  • America’s big problem is not Joe Biden, it’s the menace to democracy posed by Donald Trump
  • I think the Democrat party is a problem for pushing forward candidates that suck. There no way Trump wins in 2016 if he was going against somebody that was actually popular.

    I am getting serious 2016 vibes this cycle. Biden should never have run a second time. And after that debate performance it feels like continuing with Biden is just as big of a mistake.

  • The Hidden Complexity Behind America's Map Problem
  • We need to get rid of maps altogether and go with proportional representation. Why does my state give republicans 8 reps and democrats 1 rep when the split is more like 48%-35%? There’s no map that will give 5 to republicans, 3 to democrats and 1 to an independent. That is what is fair.

  • Jon Stewart's Debate Analysis: Trump's Blatant Lies and Biden's Senior Moments | The Daily Show
  • I honestly didn’t think he went that hard on you… It definitely didn’t come across as a “shut up and listen here” comment.

    That said, if you saw any of the clips, I think it was clear and obvious that his stutter was not the issue.

    In 2020, there was a lot of talk about his stutter, and that made seemed right. Here lately Biden is giving me “Weekend at Bernie” vibes.

  • IRS plans to make its free tax filing program permanent
  • I got halfway through it and one of the forms I needed to use was not supported, so I basically wasted my time testing it out. I don’t remember the form, but I felt like it was a basic thing.

    I went with FreeTaxUSA as I always do and it was good as always.

    I think having to fill out tax forms instead of the government just telling you what you owe is pretty insane and this IRS program does nothing to resolve the actual issue.

  • Ultra-processed foods need tobacco-style warnings, says scientist
  • I would love this too. But still I would love something official that would designate which items are the over processed ones.

    Though, the Supreme Court is about to make the FDA useless, so that won’t work soon.

  • This homemade hat has a secret function... It's a bag. It's a bag hat. | Simone Giertz
  • There’s a fatal flaw in this that she never even addressed. In the beginning, she said she is always wearing a hat. Well, if she’s carrying a bag, she’s no longer wearing a hat! I think she needs to make the bag in a way that she can still wear the hat while it’s a bag.

  • Ultra-processed foods need tobacco-style warnings, says scientist
  • I think it would help. Often times all the items on the shelf look the same with the exception of price.

    You add a warning label on one item and the item next to it is $2 more and doesn’t have the warning, I am likely to buy the more expensive item.

  • Neil deGrasse Tyson reads his peer review of Terrence Howard's mathematics theories
  • Hmm, I’m not really sure what you’re talking about at this point… I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree. With only the context of Tyson’s video, I felt it was douchey.

    Considering he has a reputation for being douchey in literally the same manner, but towards common people, it seemed like par for the course with him.

    2 great movies about bad moms. One from the child’s perspective, the other from the mom’s perspective.

    Is lemmy working on better default sort options than “hot” and “active”?

    I’m not really sure where to ask this question. Maybe there’s a lemmy dev community where these kind of discussions already happen.

    I feel like the default front page in Lemmy is still severely lacking when compared to Reddit’s r/all algorithm. I find hot and top hourly to be nearly identical. The top 6 hour is closer, but still not as good as what the Reddit default front page is.

    Suggestion: Show community above preview

    Not sure if this is where suggestions go, but I'll put it he anyway.

    I think the community name should be shown above the preview image of the post. Seeing the community name is important for the context of whatever the post is. I'd like to see the name before seeing the actual post.

    Is there an update on 18.1?

    I feel like with the 3rd party apps shutting down tomorrow, Lemmy could be flooded with new users. It would be a shame if their first experience here is with that front page bug.
