Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be. in c/[email protected]

This is true, but the one i would have voted for filed the wrong form to be put on the ballot and is disqualified. So idk if i trust that one in office.

I plan to Vote for the Head Cheeto in Charge this year. His saving grace is Tulsi Gabbard.

I tried making a similar argument on Facebook in 2016 when Trump won.

I didn't vote for either of the top two, but I did vote 3rd party. I voted on someone that i felt would be just as good a fit as the other two at that time. I wanted change, and tried to get so-called friends to change the way they thought about voting. Some of those people were the kind to say "my vote doesn't matter. They'll elect whomever they want in office."

I even went so far as to draw a very shitty comic that pointed out the other options on the ballot, and how we as a society could push for political change BY VOTING.

Sigh.... I was called a classless human being by an immigrant from the UK I went to college with. Her friends, and even one professor kept blowing up my DMs calling me trash for not supporting Clinton. That election really showed me the true colors of people. Since then i just tell people i am "unaffiliated" when they ask which party i support.

How can we encourage to post more than just a link? in c/[email protected]

I agree to this. But on the off-chance i want to add more sometimes I'll add a comment in the post. Feels like home, y'know?

Thank you for your reply. I'd like to see trail cam footage of strange things happening.

I've got some research to do!

There have been plenty of sites hosting horrible, and graphic content like the late LiveLeak site. But I've never heard of a good site for posting actual paranormal stuff.

Unless i am wrong.

Edit: I get it Lemmy, i might be asking for too much, but it doesn't seem too farfetched to have a dedicated site of actual video camera posts not edited tiktok or hollywood crap. I'm not looking for a movie, tv show, or a Halloween prank. I guess it does not exist because paranormal activity has been and always will be fake stunts.

Edit 2: dog sees something but they never show the floor. Could have been a spider.

Ghost car cop chase car "goes through fence" but it went out of frame before it went through. Either editing, or like the comments says, the fenced went over/under the car and this cop is just a pansy.

Edit 3: Skinwalker Ranch this was cool to start with, buuuuut again they talk of something blocking the airspace above but what they show doesn't match with their claims. The 3D animations explain what they see, but the actual footage has so many cuts it's obviously fake.

Samsung Curve Monitor T55 black screen suddenly (imgur.com)

I have the T55 27inch curve monitor that randomly went to a black screen and will not display anything.

No built-in menu, no pop up saying searching for inputs like HDMI. Nothing.

I was playing "For the King 2", and my monitor just goes dark. My pc was still running the game and I could hear others in Discord just fine.

Right now i am unsure of what to do. I have tried the following:

  • Unplug monitor for 30+ seconds
  • Checked HDMI cable
  • Held the Jog switch for 1 minute
  • Plugged monitor into the wall
  • Tried using the directional functions on jog switch (just cause screen to flicker on and off but nothing is displayed.
  • Restarting computer (which obviously did nothing).

Am at a loss right now. Had this monitor for about 3 years so I think the warranty is gone. What do I do if it doesn't start working in its own again?

Edit: Imgur post showing the issue

Edit 2: I decided to contact Best Buy and see about trade-ins, and discovered I bought the 4 year extended warranty!! So i got it exchanged for a "different" model... Which turned out to be the exact same thing just called something else.

Does each version have its own quirks? (lemmy.world)
 

The past couple of versions i have used would only allow me to open the comments of YT Shorts one time, then it would load blank any time after until I fully closed the app.

My current version, 19.04.37 Non-root, will some times open a YT Short immediately when the app opens, and i have to quickly hit Home before it loads... Else the app will close when trying to go back.

So, I'm curious if others have had similar issues as well? And does each patch have its own quirks like these?

Zooming In a picture and Panning issues in Swipe View (lemmy.world)
 

So this is something that I experienced with Boost for Reddit as well, but it occurred randomly: whenever I zoom in on a picture to see details, or read words better, within Swipe View I cannot simply pan the image around. The app seems to think I am trying to swipe to the next post.

So my way of getting around this is to basically tap the image lightly to get it to move around. Or to tap the post's icon/image preview to open the image ontop of the app.

🤔 Any way to get this fixed for us that prefer Swipe View?
