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.

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.

Yep! There was that paper about how Netflix counts it as a view if you watch a few seconds to boost how much "engagement" happens!
