Okay, but why do we care about polls as much now? Haven’t they been spectacularly wrong for the past few election cycles? Not all, but I definitely feel like the overall accuracy and reliability of most national and state polling has been exceptionally poor....
It’s pop science in the marketing departments of many companies to capitalize on shock and drama as it grabs attention at a base level. That’s the way to make money.
made a kbin account, is there now a different account for the rest of lemmy?

3dprinting moved to rhombik which is apparently a different lemmy what’s going on?
You should be able to subscribe to non kbin Lemmy instances. At least I can on a Lemmy instance (as you see here). Search a known community in your search bar and it should let you subscribe.

I second this. It’s one major feature that I really feel this app is missing (outside of loading profile history, and notifications like in the web app)

My office spent 3 years during the pandemic telling us that the future of work was here and we’d probably never work in an office again.
We got rid of our office leases, sold off property, and then the CEO received some stern letters from business associations and bam! Just like that, all mention of the future of work and telework were deleted off our sites and everyone was forced to show up in office “2-3 times per week”.
Anyone who was given permission to move across the country were ordered to move back home (within 30 days) or face immediate termination.
Those that weren’t fired and didn’t quit are now crammed into random offices around the country to take MS Teams calls with their teammates. The whole org is falling apart.
A lot of these tech goons are losers in their personal lives and get huge ego strokes being able to control these platforms. Any questioning of their actions is perceived as a direct challenge to them as a person.
So i have a bunch of pc's/laptops/computers and such that my family members refuse to depart with even though there really bad. so far they mangae to keep 4 bulky computers in total, we do have some new-ish ones but theses ones im talking about need some loving.1 computer is 32 bit and has 2gb of ram, the other 3 have 64-bit and...
100% I think internet and social media use has really spread the whole “we just wanna live and be happy” message among everyone and that’s challenging some peoples views about “others”.
Ya this is the goal. People only remember snippets of headlines so if you can pump out a lot of them with your agenda, that’s all anyone will believe regardless of it’s truth. I’m sorry you had to deal with someone who found a headline they really liked and tethered themselves to it.
I’ve had this issue with my whole immediate family with the exception of my grandmother. They genuinely live in a completely separate world where left wingers are predatory and steal kids and force them to get transition surgery (?!?!?!). Some peoples lives depend on holding up this illusion.
Very true. Culture is thought to be the slowest human construct to change and when you put it in context, it’s pretty impressive. Thanks for the different perspective :) I appreciate it.
