The republican party and adjacent is mostly white nationalists, what would make you think that they would switch to voting for a Jewish person? He would have unfortunately lost.

So they picked the worst possible option? That doesn’t even make sense. I doubt he would have won either at the time, even if he wasn’t sabotaged. Do you think the RNC wouldn’t have gone after him worse?

If you haven’t seen the documentary by his daughter Rashida Jones on Netflix, go watch it. I had no idea how much he was part of American culture.

Exaxtly that, I just don’t have the bandwidth.

Thanks, I didn’t realize that worked here. But I meant tagging a user as awesome or a troll or whatever. That way, when you kind of remember seeing the name and they seem like they’re trolling, I can tell right away if I’ve had previous interactions with them. RES was awesome for that.

That was years ago. I’m sure I saved it on reddit, but I haven’t been back there since I switched. Sorry about that. It was a real study though, they were trying to figure out all of he social media trolling from Cambridge Analytica and all that. It might have been even earlier.

Yes, that and the tagging of users.

They did a study around the 2020 elections and have found the following to work with trolls:

Respond once with the facts (if you must), and then walk away. I have found Lemmy not needing that most of the time, just downvoting seems to work. But if you’re on the place that shall not be named, this works.

I swear this is relevant:

Single Family Houses – The 5 Biggest Buyers In America

As SFH investors and property managers we may find ourselves bidding on the same property as a major fund. You might get a call from a fund that wants to buy your portfolio. You could end up partnering with a fund as its local operator. You never know.

Phoenix was the first city that had just about all the major private equity firms investing in single family houses. Private equity helped drive prices in Phoenix up by 34% as you can read about in this Bloomberg article here. The next city that attracted just about all the major private equity firms was Atlanta GA. Other popular markets are CA, Chicago and Florida. PE firms are looking for markets that have experienced the biggest bubbles that have resulted in the biggest swings in values.

We call those non-linear markets. The goal is to hold properties as rentals and wait for a housing recovery. These funds are averaging about an 8% return on investment where most major multi-family / apartment funds return about 5 or 6%. Linear markets like Tulsa OK, Louisville KY, Indianapolis IN, Fort Worth TX, Columbus OH, and Kansas City have been some what over looked by the biggest players. However, there are plenty of funds coming into the linear markets with up to $50 million (which is considered a small fund) to spend on houses.

There was a family that lived next to my parents that lost their house in the 08 crash because they were sold a shitty loan. They were the sweetest people. I happened to be visiting when they had a huge blowout family party on their last day there. I was hoping it was using the money that was supposed to go to the banks. They were the epitome of what I think the original intent was of that saying. The world sucks, fr, but you have to live anyway. It’s not toxic positivity if you live it. That’s my take anyway.

Thanks for the Eternity rec too.

Probably, but I didn’t even know it showed anything when you hover over the arrows. You’d think I would have seen it before. They just did an update at my instance, maybe it triggered something.

It gives the same thing along with percentages on sh.itjust.works. I wondered why they didn’t have it. How long has that been there?

I’ve been hearing ads for AI writing code for companies, I bet that has something to do with this.

As detailed in the complaint, the defendants’ alleged scheme has three main components. First, an agreement to fix the price of peer review services at zero that includes an agreement to coerce scholars into providing their labor for nothing by expressly linking their unpaid labor with their ability to get their manuscripts published in the defendants’ preeminent journals.

Second, the publisher defendants agreed not to compete with each other for manuscripts by requiring scholars to submit their manuscripts to only one journal at a time, which substantially reduces competition by removing incentives to review manuscripts promptly and publish meritorious research quickly.

Third, the publisher defendants agreed to prohibit scholars from freely sharing the scientific advancements described in submitted manuscripts while those manuscripts are under peer review, a process that often takes over a year. As the complaint notes, “From the moment scholars submit manuscripts for publication, the Publisher Defendants behave as though the scientific advancements set forth in the manuscripts are their property, to be shared only if the Publisher Defendant grants permission. Moreover, when the Publisher

I’m guessing you do subscribed as well. I’ve also found it kind of nice to be able to leave and get on with my day. Reddit used to suck me in.

Are you checking for hot, 6 hours and 12 hours? I think it defaults to active which does make it seem, ironically, less active.

I think it depends on what you disagree with. If one is promoting going after our neighbors, hunting them down and killing them? Yeah, defederate. If another is Meta trying to take over the federation. Yeah, I vote defederate. If one thinks Hawaiian pizza is a travesty and the other doesn’t, hold your horses.

FFS Canada, don’t let them take your healthcare. Let the US serve as a warning. I don’t know how you save yours, but you’ve got a lot of smart people. Figure it out before your healthcare goes in the shitter like ours.
