Yeah, with his senile mind it seems like he was trying to say that the Dems lost this one because they rigged the last one, and it all came out in one jumbled sentence.

While reddit has much more activity and posts due to the amount of users it has amassed over the years, I’ve found most of the stuff on the frontpage is just bots reposting the same memes over and over again to farm karma. On Lemmy, I see a lot more new OC and memes I wouldn’t see on Reddit.

The news posts seem to be about the same, but I find the comment section on Lemmy to be better for conversation. Reddit comment section on popular posts is basically just the top few comment chains, a lot of bots, and a plethora of single comments getting lost in the swarm.

Edit: to add to the second point, Lemmy feels a lot more engaging to me. If I reply to something on Reddit it most likely will not be seen by anybody unless it’s in a niche community.

Some scholars contend that the unprecedented number of deportations between 1929 and 1933 were part of a policy by the administration of Herbert Hoover who had scapegoated Mexicans for the Great Depression and instituted stricter immigration policies with the stated intent of freeing up jobs for Americans.

They tuuk 'er jubs!

However, voluntary repatriation was far more common than formal deportation and federal officials were minimally involved.[5] Some of the repatriates hoped that they could escape the economic crisis of the Great Depression.[9] The government formally deported at least 82,000 people,[10] with the vast majority occurring between 1930 and 1933.[5][11] The Mexican government also encouraged repatriation with the promise of free land.[8][12]: 185–186

This makes it seem like many of them wanted out of the US already, and Mexico was more than willing to receive them.

Edit: The page also says that people were blaming Mexicans and making them the scapegoat for the reason why they were dealing with the great recession. It seems that many were already wanting to move to Mexico due to the recession coupled with the promise of free land. There were still a lot who were deported forcefully against their will.

For instrumental music with no vocals, try: Wide Eyes, Invent Animate (their instrumental versions), Modern Day Babylon, I Built the Sky. These aren’t quite Death Metal, but they have really complex guitar and drum pieces.

For with vocals: Sea in the Sky, Ignea, Unleash The Archers, Corelia (also has instrumental version of their 1 album)

Sarcasm tag isn’t necessary. Those who benefit from it see these as legitimate questions.

This might make sense for people with six+ figures sitting in a savings account, but the average person today doesn’t have enough cash to think about earning interest on it. For them, paying off a debt now would be cheaper in the long run. For the most part, at least.

I like these points. Preventing a future expense by paying less now is always worth it, if you can afford it.

Aren’t submarines supposed to sink?

I’ve been getting tired of sequels. Except Shrek, I wouldn’t mind another one of those, I guess.

If you stay away from sketchy sites and don’t click every link that says “DOWNLOAD NOW”, Windows Defender and a web browser with ad-blockers should do their job well enough.

Posession crims can easily be planted by the officer or someone else. The current US prison system is based around getting tax money for locking people up, so any evidence will be questionable while that money incentive is in play.
