My country has single transferable vote, so I don't have the problem you have
Still wasted as it's first past the post and only the two major party nominees have any chance
So you wasted your vote
I cook it very lightly – bleu at a restaurant is cooked more than I do at home – as heat destroys the little bit of vitamin C in meat and eat about 1 to 2 kilos a day of the fattiest meat I can buy. I cut my own steaks from a bulk pack, and each weighs between 600g and 800. I could easily win a steak house "eat our giant steak and get free dinner" contest if they still ran them
It averages out to about 1.5kg (call it 3lb) a day
The Lemmy community is Friendly Carnivore
I thought I heard recently about signal allowing a different ID system, but I think that's about not having to share your phone number, as against them IDing you with a phone number which I expect they will keep doing
Looking at stock markets, very few numbers are going up
My friends have been describing America now as cyberpunk without the cybernetics. We have no neuromancers
Did you vote against Trump, or were you too "moral"?
You'll never win this argument on Lemmy. The population here "know" that "genocide Joe" was the key enabler of Israel's aggression and they can't see nuance

Of course a Democrat government was lending whatever diplomatic weight they could to establishing lasting peace in the middle east - that would be a popular win if they succeeded
I lost a tiktok watching friend over this
Money gets people elected.
Many of the ultra wealthy are bought in on the idea of cyclical history where things go golden age, decadent age, disaster, GOTO 1
So they fund the side that is most likely to wreck things, happy in the delusion that that must cause a golden age
Then business prefers weak government and little regulation
Then business wants more workers so they support whatever might get more babies born
So less capitalism, more unchecked capitalism and high inequality, and propaganda directed at those in power and the fact that to win in a 2 party democracy you just need to appeal to the bulk of people
Beef, since cattle are the main product of my region. The native Americans ate bison
For dental health the best is no carbohydrates, few acids
Human skeletons don't show dental damage until the rise of agriculture, especially bread
I note that allergies prevent me from adding vegetables - I can't be healthy if I eat tannins or oxalates, many others can tolerate both of those
Because you are voting in the US system and are (a tiny bit) part of the group that allowed Trump to be elected
And Trump is bad for the whole world
