It’s a play on the joke “There are 3 genders, male, female, and political”

Religion, Politics, Political Genders, and…maybe Football. The real football.

That’s the neat thing, we don’t! At least with the way things are going…

I finally had enough and started blocking the political communities.

I’m saying that Amazon has no monetary interest in Twitch.

Taxes are monetary losses. Twitch is providing monetary benefit to Amazon. That is their ‘success’. That IS their survival.

AWS is only cheap for them artificially. You keep replying as if Twitch needs to make a profit to be ‘successful’. It doesn’t. It doesn’t need AWS to be artificially cheap either. You’re missing the forest for the trees.

Twitch provides value to Amazon by operating at a loss and paying for AWS on the back end, Twitch might appear less profitable (or even operate at a loss), AWS still records revenue from the transactions. You’re looking at the surface, where Twitch needs to be individually profitable. Companies use shells like this in far deeper ways for their own tax benefits.

This allows Amazon to shift their tax burden to a company that’s operating “at a loss”, and keep the revenue with AWS and show record profits.

Companies wouldn’t just buy others up, intending that all they do is cause harm. Twitch is being leveraged in deeper ways.

Privatize profits, and socialize losses…

God damn I am on Lemmy too much to be using terf instead of turf when I mean turf…thanks for catching that; corrected it.

I would know, I canvassed the neighborhoods getting people to register to vote…

Have you spoke to your neighbors? It sounds like you are wildly out of touch.

Listening on a good set of cans, actually.

Sorry, you lose. Fast Fourier Transform doesn’t lie. YAY MATH!

Nah. In many places of the US you’re told that it’s your “identity”. Kentucky, Tennessee, etc – They are told from birth that they “ARE” Republicans. That it’s a physical, tangible thing that identifies them. And yes - when they pick a side, it’s based on their political leanings. Who leans closer to someone who’s going to pick a republican candidate? Jill Stein, or Chase Oliver? – the answer is Chase Oliver.

I’m sorry that you can’t accept that you’re wrong about the Jill Stein thing, but that’s just simply how it be.

Where’s the bass?

Because I’d love to see a little bit of Bass Destruction :D

The people who are Republicans that would be voting third party aren’t just going to vote for HARD-D. They’re going to vote for someone closer to their home turf. They’re going to vote for Chase Oliver (or maybe RFK in the states he’s still on the ballot) as – at best – a protest vote.

FPTP is going to eventually converge into a 2 party system in the end anyways, it’s basic statistics. Without a different method of voting, third party candidates are a throw-away vote.

You’re not wrong about the rest - but your matchup of “Jill Stein is taking voters from Trump” is waaaaaaaaay off in left field. It’s such a shiitake mushroom that you’d literally have to be living under a rock for the past 20 years to believe such a thing.

Nobody who voted, or leans Trumps way has ever voted for Jill Stein ever.

And every troll on lemmy trying to get someone to vote for Stein, is lamenting her as the alternative to Harris. Get outta here with this unbelievable take.

We already had a monkey write Shakespeare. His name was William Shakespeare.

I’ve always screwed them both in very lightly

Paid indexers? Isn’t everything on the DHT anyhow? And a VPN is only $2/mo.

I had my computer in an old AT case until like 2018 or so. I finally splurged and got myself a $60 Montech case with the power supply on the bottom. It’s always been like that - swap out motherboard, cpu, ram, and toss everything else back in.

All I’ve seen on Lemmy is “Don’t vote, so you can show Kamala who’s boss” and “If Kamala’s only trait is that she’s not trump, then why vote?”

It’s infuriating. I’ve been marking these people’s accounts to see how many of them disappear after Nov 5th.
