who ran the worst campaign in modern history.

He should be in jail, he's genuinely not a good person, and I am surprised that he was allowed to run in the first place, but if the point of a campaign is to win, was the campaign "bad"?

I went with the Razr (2023), and it's great. It was cheap, it gets small, and the screen is on the inside, meaning I don't need to worry about things scratching it, and the battery lasts a long time.
If there is another similar phone when I go to replace mine, I will grab it.
If all the market offers me is an expensive phone with a giant outer screen, I won't.

Sometimes I purposefully seek out LGBTQ games.

It's nice to see a story that I can actually relate to once in a while, instead of another "straight white guy who is enough of an every man to be relatable to the masses, but still strong enough to save the world and get the girl." Seeing the same "Hero's Story" over and over and over in media gets boring, and if you want to see more of something, that thing needs to be profitable so more people make it.

I don't want my house to burn down, I don't think I'll be following suit.

If SK can stop fiddling with clocks twice a year, other provinces can do it too.

C*ash Slap is on the poster, which is probably supposed to be a reference to Crash Bash.

If you don't remember Crash Bash, that makes sense, it wasn't great.

If it's a word that already ends in an s in its singular form, like Travis, I would pronounce it like "Travis is".
It's a word that only got an s at the end because it's pluralized, like "Smiths", I would generally just pronounce it like "Smiths".

The US election is an election of elections.

They break the election into smaller elections, based on where people live. It doesn't matter if someone gets 99% of the votes in that area, or 50.0000001% of the votes. Winning is winning.

So if someone wins 49% of the smaller elections, but wins them with a high enough amount, they can have more total votes and still lose the whole thing.

Edit: Let's say there are only 3 areas of 10 people each.

Area 1: Goes to Person A
Person A: 9
Person B: 1

Area 2: Goes to Person B
Person A: 4
Person B: 6

Area 3: Goes to Person B
Person A: 4
Person B: 6

So person B wins 2 of the 3 mini elections, which makes them win the whole thing.
Person B had 13 votes, Person A had 17 votes.
Person A would win if it was "popular vote"

Communities on Lemmy follow the rules of the community, and the instance that hosts that community. So, this would need to follow the rules of [email protected] and dbzer0, the instance that left memes is hosted on.

Both of these can be found in the sidebar on the main page of the community, aka [email protected].

There are also some instances that will ban you for your comments/posts in other communities, but that's not common for most places that you would want to post anyway, or unless you post something very awful.

 

Gurl.

I mean, this is the same Trinity Western that wasn't allowed to open up a law school because they are garbage, right?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trinity-western-supreme-court-decision-1.4707240

They only started to consider dropping their homophobic ways after their law school bid was rejected.

It requires members to abstain from using vulgar language, lying or cheating, stealing, using degrading materials such as pornography, and "sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman."

While that rule effectively bars anyone who is unmarried from having sexual relations, it's the reference to "man and a woman" that is considered discriminatory against LGBT people. Same-sex marriage became legal in Canada in 2005.

And Janet, get real. Not being allowed to open a law school because you discriminate against others, doesn't count as a loss in diversity.

Janet Epp Buckingham, a TWU professor who helped develop the law school proposal, said she was saddened by the ruling.

"We feel that this is a loss for diversity in Canada"

Edit: It looks they stopped making students promise to be straight in 2018, but they didn't drop it for the staff.
