Every county in VA moved further to the left except for four, some of them by double digits.

The VA and NJ governor races weren't even close.

Mississippi flipped a couple state seats and broke the Republican supermajority.

Georgia elected two Democrats in red areas to state positions that haven't been held by Democrats in a long time.

And then of course there's CA Prop 50, which cancels out Texas' redistricting and was done via the will of the people.

Overall a very good night!

T. Rex didn't exist until about 70 million years after Stegosaurus was gone, so one of them had time traveling powers.

Silksong is $20. Stardew Valley is $15 (and getting yet another free update soon). There are a lot of great indie games out there that won't break the bank and are made by creators who have a passion for what they do.

solutions that dont disrupt the 99%'s way of life

This is not possible. Barring some miracle technologies being developed, we would have to radically change our standards of living and give up our modern convenient lives to make meaningful changes.

Man, back in those days I thought we were truly in the post-racism era. Then I grew up and saw how the world really was, and social media happened and allowed all the awful people in the world to find each other.

To add to this, genocide is actually a pretty wide term with a lot of different ways if manifests in the real world. There's everything from the Holocaust, European colonization of the Americas, to the current situation in Palestine. I think it's an easy trap for people to fall into to say that because situations aren't exactly equal that one is a genocide and one is not.

Me when I realize survival means constantly fighting against entropy.

Ketchup is GOATed. Very well-balanced flavor wise, it contains elements of sweet, salty, sour, and savory. This is what makes it so popular and why it pairs so well with so many foods.

Of course, there are varieties and brands that are made with substandard ingredients such as HFCS. But this is an exception and not the rule; I recommend something like Simply Heinz which is made with cane sugar and has a much less cloyingly sweet flavor. There are also fancier brands if you like, but honestly I think Heinz is the gold standard.

As a Chicagoan you also won't catch me putting it on a Chicago-style hot dog, since that has a delicate balance of flavors that is thrown off and overshadowed by the ketchup. But I'm not gonna throw a fit over anyone who does, and I will most definitely throw some ketchup and mustard on a dog that has not been dragged through the garden.

I'd even take "Sombrero" over "Milky Way"

Hey all, new user to midwest.social as of today since lemm.ee is being shut down. After logging in to my new account I can't load my home pages (subscriptions) though I can view all, local, and individual communities. This is happening only for this username and across all lemmy clients, though I'm asking here since I'm not sure where else to ask if it's an issue with this server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
