It used to be PBS for adults. I remember turning it on and there would be a documentary about like piano players and the connection to the brain.

Went down hill thanks to reality TV.

Sounds like they still get paid then!

White supremacists mods in the politics forum?

On Lemmy?

Out of the loop here.

I have two points to add to this:

1 - As a liberal, there was nothing more frustrating than having to vote for Kamala, a candidate who was aggressively “pro-cop”, especially as many in the country were protesting for defunding cops. Youre not going to energize most people with an angle like “You want us to vote to stop Trump?”

2 - As a person who is part of the black/immigrant community, the government has a history of ignoring us for decades. It’s not the federal government, but the local government too. Systematic racism has always kept us down. And I hate to say it, Trump got a wall going. Trump has ICE harassing immigrants. These are newsworthy events, even if they’re in the wrong fucking direction. But a Democrat has a history of never wanting to create a ripple as they appeal to all sides.

Damn they’re shooked.

America won the war against smoking in restaurants, which is nice.

Maybe we won because we didn’t actually have a war.

A decade ago, Australia rolled out where they have a right to check your phones and laptops. So company trips, it was always recommended to bring burners/reformatted devices. So that’s been my norm.

I’ve been doing that for years and would strongly recommend it.

Curious, where did you move?

There’s a lot involved with moving out of the US. The easiest route is Canada. But trying to move to Europe is a uphill battle unless you’re a skilled worker. Even worse in Asia, where unless you’re there with a suitcase of money, you’re probably going to be working from the ground floor.

Wife and two kids here, and I am looking for options but every where seems difficult.
