It wasn't just Lemmy, I know otherwise reasonably intelligent people who became literally brainwashed from TikTok. We're talking far left, never Trumper's, knew he was an existential threat, but couldn't have their moral superiority tarnished and HAD to vote 3rd party. They bought into that propaganda hook, line and sinker.
shocking - It's almost as if there was a coordinated media campaign to paint both sides the same, and convince a bunch of people to vote against their own self interests. Absolutely did not see this coming... Nope, absolutely not.
This was an older article, I think I've seen new paints so reflective they can actually cool the building down during, not just reduce its heat during the day time.

It's saving me a hell of a lot of man hours on incredibly tedious tasks that would require looking up individual items in a wiki or the like and then directly populating the answers into a spreadsheet... Our team doesn't have the budget to hire someone to do it, so it basically just wouldn't get done without it.
Useful party trick for me!
I don't understand why these passively cooling roofs aren't being used EVERYWHERE seems like an absolute no brainer.
Other people don't? It is a separate entity in many ways, from my understanding there are portions of the brain that react much more like an organ than what we perceive as our "consciousness.". I was actually taught to separate myself from my brain the "organ" and how it responds to situations differently than I would prefer haha
Adding to this, the wealth disparity is going to continue to increase with those who have equities dramatically increasing their personal capitol, while the middle class is going to fall further behind.
I'm convinced a major part of inflation that goes completely ignored is the staggering amount of wealth generated by equities. People have literally seen 1 million become 2 or 3 over the last few years. They have been spending money with complete disregard... Watching what people buy at Costco is insane!
This is highly unlikely to cause a statistically significant difference in the polls. Having this strong of a view point on the matter is largely isolated to a specific demographic of younger, progressive voters, who are notoriously difficult to reach and accurately account for via traditional polling methods.
It registers as the 15th most important issue via a Gallup poll, and that doesn't account for which "side" the individuals polled support.
Of the 30% of the population saying it is an "extremely important issue," it gives no indication of what their desired resolution is.
On the extreme end of the spectrum, consider that 30% of our nation is in a death cult that believes Israel plays a role in their eventual salvation, not to mention how many people are blatantly racist and view anyone with darker skin as a terrorist.
I am registered, politically active, not difficult to locate and have had the same phone number for 20 years, yet, I MIGHT have been polled once in that time!
This isn't to say there aren't those who are doing as they say, but it is not likely to move polls one way or another.
Clarification please
Excellent comment, I frequently bring this concept to others attention when the term "colonizer" is used.
Arbitrary and selective use of the term to fit a specific narrative detracts from current day realities.
Somehow people seem to have forgotten that times of peace and respect for manmade borders and laws of sovereign nations are not the norm for history.
I don't understand this map, I live very close to the coast and am 20+ feet above sea level. 5 meters is 16' 4.85".
The highest point in Pinellas county is 110', for those who don't know, it's the peninsula on West Coast of Florida.
I'm not under the impression there will be a consistent land mass, but something more resembling new islands, keys and beach fronts makes more sense than showing areas entirely underwater.
Please don't ban me... I joined .ml because it was privacy, security and FOSS focused! I had no idea about the ancillary political focus now associated with it.
Assuming this isn't an attempt at trolling, Trump ran up the deficit nearly double that of Biden. Given that the argument is generally government spending leads to inflation, how exactly would that not indicate who is more responsible for inflationary costs?
I e been espousing #2 for years.... Companies used to actually train and invest in their employees, now it's all about poaching someone else from some other company rather than training and promoting within.
They need these every block in Miami. I absolutely cannot comprehend how some people don't see Trump is a dictator. Left, right, center, it doesn't matter, a dictator is a dictator and no political ideology is safe from them..
Honestly, I joined Lemmy pretty early on... So I have no idea if I even had to type that, if I did, I have no recollection of it.
Here I am... Joined Lemmy.ml because it was supposed to be a security, privacy and FOSS focused community. Now people are probably going to block seeing my comments.
The people here are such fucking morons... Yes, let's ban WIND POWER, literally one of the oldest forms of clean energy generation. I swear if I didn't have family here I'd be gone.
The simple solution is not to rely upon AI. It's like a misinformed relative after a jar of moonshine, they might be right some of the time, or they might be totally full of shit.
I honestly don't know why people are obsessed with relying on AI, is it that difficult to look up the answer from a reliable source?
I have news for you, as an old millennial, it's not just G Zers.
