The monkey's paw is beginning to curl on this wish.

Yes. Apparently, they can.

Bugger, But also, heil, leader Trump, I suppose.

A couple of more months

Tomorrow is the last day to vote. I imagine all the talk won't be over until noon January 20th with the transfer of power to the new administration.

i honestly think this election is part of an ongoing cold war that has spread across the world and turned hot in Ukraine

we are all part of it and can participate

I'd like to be calm but since I live in a country neighbouring Ukraine ... yeah, I'm scared

Trust me, I’m from u.s. and I hate it

Not to be a downer, but the political ramifications matter significantly, and vice versa. This planet is way too small now, and I patiently monitor the politics of many countries to see how the world shifts in relation to peace and climate change.

This corresponds to everything, including games and distros if one country (not just the US) suddenly collapses.

I happily await the day politics calms down, the wars settle, and we focus primarily on climate change and science as our main passions once again.

Only 1 more day til it’s just U.S. riot news

How I’m getting by…although this post showed up unfortunately 😂

It drives me mad how the UK media obsesses over US Presidential elections because they're still pretending the "special relationship" exists, yet they pay hardly any attention to European elections that actually have more impact on the UK.

They'll literally cut away from UK news to bring a campaign speech from Trump or Harris. Why? We don't get a vote in it, so we don't need to hear it.

Ironically, I was happy that this community was one of the few without posts about that election.

Haha i quit reddit not because of the api change and the stupid blackout/protest. But to get away from the propaganda.

booo not casual

As an American, I'm just as sick of it as you are. I voted by mail weeks ago, but because I'm in a swing state I'm bombarded by mail and text messages.

Anyway, I recently switched to the CachyOS kernel. I won't try Factorio though because I know I'll get horribly addicted.

I’ve been trying to limit my election posting to the explicitly politics communities. I think that by blocking all of them, the non US people can hopefully keep the election chatter down to at least a dull roar, although I realize a lot of it is also spilling out into everywhere.

You folks have my sympathy, in other words. Hopefully in a week or so, we won’t need yours.

One more day. Just one more day. Election day is tomorrow, and by the early hours of the morning after, it'll all be over.

It costs me nothing to scroll past. Let everyone think it makes a difference, in a few months, we'll settle back into our comfortable dystopia and we'll go back to arguing over other stuff.

I just wanna talk about kernels and factorio, man

I most certainly do not.
