I think democrats would, for the most part. Perhaps less enthusiastically, but since they hate Trump, I think it would not be a major issue.

The question is, how would low-information unaffiliated voters respond to having a socialist in the ballot? This is a difficult question to answer. Traditionally socialism is a bad word in US politics, albeit less so with younger voters.

Personally I don’t really buy the “Bernie would have won” stuff but there’s really only one way to find out.

Oh to be clear 2 meters will absolutely devastate some areas. But it won’t look like entire counties inundated as we see in this map.

I was recently in the Yucatán and their tourist season is basically driven by seaweed these days because it grows so much in the warmer temps. In summer the beaches are covered in rotten seaweed and no one wants to travel there. I imagine Florida will start to experience this as well.

I see, the meme makes a lot more sense now. I was like this isn’t a meme it’s just a map of the future of Florida lol.

That said this seems very extreme and exaggerated for 2075. Sea level rise is one of the slowest aspects of climate change. Generally the worst case is thought to be about 2 meters by 2100 which is significant but not enough to affect non-coastal areas.

Projections for when though?

Doubtful. But who knows. It’s a hypothetical that’s fundamentally unknowable.

Since no one seems to be taking OP’s question seriously, I’ll take a stab at this. There are a variety of reasons.

Some people feel that voting is offering material support to a specific candidate or system, and they simply cannot bring themselves to do so given the horrors that that person or system is either supporting or failing to condemn.

Others may feel that strategically withholding their vote as a punishment may motivate democrats to take these types of issues more seriously in the future.

Or they may feel that their vote is more impactful in magnifying the voice and power of third parties who offer more meaningful solutions to end the killing, even if they won’t win.

Others still may believe that Trump’s incompetence will accelerate the end of America imperialism and lead to a better global political situation sometime in the future.

Finally, some people feel that voting won’t matter at all and is a distraction from efforts to directly slow or stop the war machine.

I don’t personally endorse any of these viewpoints, but some are relatively serious positions and others are not, in my opinion.

They did though. The Bay Area is a lot more Balkanized than most urban areas for topographic reasons but for example they include St. Paul and Minneapolis one city despite being separated legally. I’m sure the other major cities have lots of little satellite cities included in the analysis too, they’re just not famous enough to be called out that way.

And yes there are some differences but there are a lot of similarities. Especially culture, weather, etc. When looking at the different places across the country, Bay Area cities are relatively similar with a few outlier exceptions.

I live in the city but I get birds that are usually only found in the forest because they like to forage in the fallen leaves! It does make a difference.

But are they deliciosa?

Because political jurisdictions are completely arbitrary. The Bay Area is largely one continuous conglomeration of cities. It makes sense when you’re examining the whole country to lump similar areas together.

Maybe a cultural or regional thing? Or is it related to a hobby or something? I can’t think of a single time I’ve heard this phrase in normal conversation.

I think it’s a bit different. Female at least refers to a real biological trait (or at least collection of traits). As a scientist I use the word female in my work all of the time, and frankly I’m not sure what alternatives to it even exist.

Bloodline is like… weird racist antiquated European ideas about ancestry that are more or less completely unscientific and wrong. I don’t think I’ve ever once heard it used in a scientific context.

Maybe it’s used in animal breeding but that’s because animal breeding has uncomfortable connections with outdated race “science”. It doesn’t come from the real scientific community.

It’s only a few cents here. But I don’t know because I don’t do it.

Most people don’t in the US, no. In my city there isn’t really functional transit so that’s not really a thing.

Who is actually using this term? I’ve only heard it in like medieval period fiction.

If I heard anyone start rambling about their bloodline I would immediately start to wonder if they were a fascist.

Oh I fully agree that greenhouses have a role to play in food production. But that’s not typically what’s meant by indoor farming. That’s a separate but related concept.

That said, you may be slightly overstating the benefits here. Greenhouses can actually be very vulnerable to pests and diseases due to the high humidity, year-round warmth, and lack of natural predators. In theory they’re isolated but in practice it’s very likely some organism you don’t want will sneak in somehow. Pollination can also be a challenge for crops that need that.

I think these challenges can be overcome but there’s a lot of work to be done on them still.

I approve of the overall message but indoor farming is kind of insane in the present day. It uses incredible amounts of energy and our scarce building materials to do something we can do much more easily outside.

Long term it might be important but I don’t think it makes sense until we solve the current energy crisis.

OK thanks for your thoughts, I’ll try to stick to that in the future.

I’d like to apologize for my part in this toxicity. I think I could have approached that thread in a more civil manner.

But maybe you can give me some advice for the future. What got me fired up was statements by people defending or advocating for indiscriminate mass murder. To me this seems beyond a mere ideological disagreement and it feels wrong to leave this kind of content unchallenged. But would it have been better to just report it and move on? I considered this but wasn’t sure if it constituted rule-breaking content per se. And I was wary of reporting something that might not be against the rules.

What is the best way to respond to this type of content which I unfortunately see all too often on Lemmy?
