GiddyGap@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi?21·6 months agoDidn’t say he was. Just saying if he did such crazy things that even the crazies drop out, he could be removed. That’s extremely hard in the US. You’re basically stuck with the moron for four years.
GiddyGap@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi?7·6 months agoAnd that’s the problem with the US election system. In basically any other developed democracy, there are ways to call a new special election. The four years are often the max between elections, not the minimum.
If a new leader proves unpopular, you toss them out and install a new one.
GiddyGap@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I realistically get out of the US?31·6 months agoGo as a student and find a spouse while you’re there for the easiest way to stay after you’re done with school.

GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear?5·6 months agoThis is absolutely true, but I do think that a lot of Americans are in fact ready to hear this. There is just a lot of money and power involved. And those with money and power don’t want to change it since it won’t improve their lives. There’s also religion involved. And many Republicans are religious and have been fooled into thinking that universal healthcare is all about allowing abortion.

GiddyGap@lemm.eeto science@lemmy.world•Controversial COVID study that promoted unproven treatment retracted after four-year saga (a.k.a. the hydroxychloroquine study is finally retracted)English32·7 months agoThe Covid vaccines were fast and good.
GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•How Americans responded in 1955 when the invention of the polio vaccine was announcedEnglish4·7 months agoAlso, older people were more prone to dying from Covid. That left a lot of room for conspiracy theories regarding what actually killed them. Heard of lot of conservative family members say “oh, it was probably just a bad flu that killed them.” And when the vaccines came out that quickly changed to “the vaccine killed them.”
GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•How Americans responded in 1955 when the invention of the polio vaccine was announcedEnglish874·7 months agoQuite the difference from how half the US population reacted to a Covid vaccine. The power of political propaganda and social media conspiracy theories.
Complaining about the taxes would be the dumbest since the US spends a lot more tax money for a lot less per capita.
GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Altman to Musk: Don't go full supervillain – that's so un-AmericanEnglish2·7 months agoActually, he is. He holds South African, Canadian, and US citizenship.
It’s wild that Americans accept this idiotic healthcare system.
Short-term solutions are hard. In past work, I’ve proposed solutions to men’s compensatory anger and aggression at both the individual and societal levels. For example, I believe that it’s important for adults, such as parents, clinicians and teachers, to resist the urge to put undue pressures on boys, as well as to equip boys with the tools they need to resist such pressure. At a broader level, it’s important to promote gender diversity in positions of leadership and power, so that boys learn that people of all genders—not just men—share the responsibility for providing and protecting. If we can target the mechanisms underlying the pressure that boys and men experience, we should be able to mitigate the anger and aggression they exhibit to prove their manhood.
Well, a lot of the families of these young men are also deeply involved in the evangelical community that teach that these pressures are not only societal, they are God-given and healthy. They learn that if they don’t adopt this type of masculinity, they are going against the biblical version of the man. They might not even make it to heaven. They’ll be burning in eternal fire. And if your parents and your church and your day-to-day leaders keep pushing this, it’s no surprise that they end up voting for the toxic masculinity Trump represents.
I don’t think it’s fair. A billionaire only needs one pillow like everyone else. And there are a lot of people starving in this world.

GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I wish all food could be as good as pizza.4·7 months agoLol. Yeah, that’s not what French food is, but ok.
GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I wish all food could be as good as pizza.4·7 months agoI like French food better. But it doesn’t really matter. Taste in food is highly subjective.
GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I wish all food could be as good as pizza.7·7 months agoI love pizza, but there’s a lot of food that’s better, imo.
What if you only use the apps?
