It's also not even like it's only Americans whose lives will be directly affected by the next election but millions of migrants, Palestinians, Ukrainians and God knows how many more. So talk about the privilege of this comment, not to mention the dismissal of the half the country who doesn't want a return to 2020, to just throw the rest of the world under the bus because some may deserve it.
And Biden and Trump should both in theory put out a “I’m fine but if I develop dementia during the next turn this is the plan” plan. For Biden, that will help a lot of people who are on the fence between him and nobody see him as a better candidate and turn out in higher percentages.
I believe that's called a running mate, and not too many people seem keen on a President Harris.
Unfortunately, it probably isn't possible to. Unless, of course, everyone here (and I do mean everyone) is perfectly alright with the Fediverse never gaining mainstream popularity, the plain and inconvenient truth is that it's only a matter of time until Lemmy and Kbin are infected with the same kind of shit. This phenomenon predates Reddit, it predates 4chan, it predates Digg. Ask early Usenet members 30 years ago just how far back this issue goes.
But what if, instead of trying to prevent it entirely, we simply tried to slow it down as much as possible? Now, you're working with reality, not against it.
One idea I've always been in favor of has been the concept of installing limits: limited posts, limited replies, limited votes, etc. I don't know if this is a thing that could be rolled out on an instance-per-instance basis or that, even if it could be, if it would be as effective as a platform-wide initiative, but the appeal of setting limits is to introduce scarcity and thus more weight to a user's actions.
If you only have X number of possible actions per day, such as X number of posts, how might that affect your behavior? Would you still shitpost as often in every pun thread, upvote every repost, argue with every single troll? Probably not.
There are obviously some downsides to this as it might have a not insignificant effect on promoting genuinely good content and or punishing (downvoting to oblivion) objectively bad or offensive content -- and again, at best, you'd really just be delaying the inevitable as long as possible -- but I think it's worth investigating nevertheless.
I think it's important to keep in mind that depth is a somewhat relative concept. Is this squad pretty deep by CONCACAF standards? No question. But against higher level opponents, like the top-ranked European and South American sides, we probably still have a way's to go. The good news is that we have 3 years or so to get there, and the player pool should only continue to get stronger between now and then.
I came to the same conclusion in a post on a sub that was debating whether they should re-open permanently or not. I'll leave it to you to imagine how well it went over, but it should be added that this behavior doesn't only affect mods or power users; it's true of the userbase in general. People will latch onto anything they can in order to defend crossing their own picket line.
Well, that was certainly spicy! Surely, Cocca must be gone after this match, right? El Tri was thoroughly dominated after the first 20 minutes or so, and their two ejections were a long time coming (on another note though, what were McKennie and Dest thinking retaliating like they did?).
He left briefly to play for Atlas in Mexico in 2020, before returning to the MLS with Cincinnati in 2021. He has lived in the United States for six of the last seven years. Federal law dictates that U.S. green card holders, of which Acosta is one, must continuously reside in the U.S. for five years in order to be eligible for citizenship.
This section does a pretty terrible job of explaining how he is still able to pursue naturalization without the clock completely resetting after his stint with Atlas. Did his wife stay in the U.S. and earn naturalization herself while he went down to Mexico? If not, shouldn't the earliest moment that he could apply for citizenship be 2025?
Yeah, I suppose if he kept his official residence, that would also be possible. Thanks for looking into that. It just seems like the author has no better clue than the rest of us how exactly this works. By his own words, he isn't sure if the stint in Atlas reset the clock or not.
