I'm European so obviously anti trump (I've learnt a lot about politicians that used similar rhetoric, had a different personal cult around them, also tried overthrowing the state - history repeats when not learning from it) but damn, Biden was bad. I'd still vote for Biden simply to avoid trump, but I fear he has no chance to get >50% after that performance.

The democrats hopefully see the writing on the wall and replace him before it's too late.

MacOS has different flaws but has major flaws nonetheless. Linux is the one that truly lets you own your computer, you decide everything.

"They don't like us and they think we're stupid"

Ah, trump has discovered US-americans' stereotype in many countries (that has already existed for decades at least).

Backwards politics and worse education will only strengthen that stereotype. The way to change that are progressive politics and huge investments in education.

Anyway that really is a mess for both. I get that the republicans sent Trump again since he got a fascism-like personal cult, but why did the democrats send Biden?

Can they still change their candidate?

Anyway this is a perfect example to show why a democracy should have more than two parties.

If you pay with your salary I assume that means it gets subtracted from your gross salary? Which is better than paying directly.

Still overpriced

Lower end phones usually already have 8 GB RAM (example: Galaxy A54 5G, 300€ new).

Because of the cosmic microwave background.

Here, this covers it quite well on a very basic level https://www.space.com/33892-cosmic-microwave-background.html

I'm atheist but that's not one of the reasons for it since you can explain it logically. The usual case here is that there can't be good without evil (either there are both or everything is the same).

Example experience from my life: You eat great food at a restaurant every now and then. Then you join the military and eat bad food every day. After a while the bad food becomes normal, and when you're at home and just cook something that was normal before it's great.

If everything just is great, nothing is great anymore. If everything is good, nothing is good.

Well we know nowadays that the universe isn't infinite, but is expanding, and the speed of expanding is accelerating. We don't know if that will keep accelerating, if the universe will keep expanding forever.

The new Diogenes. Make it real.

Easiest way to prove it:

1 = 3/3 = 1/3 * 3 = 0.333... * 3 = 0.999...

While you're not incorrect for some parts of the world (namely the richer ones, in poor parts of the world buying overpriced things often still is seen as a statue symbol) that doesn't change that he's not asking a question in ask lemmy.
