This election made me realize that political affiliation in the states for a lot of people is like being in a cult. Rather than accepting that your side has issues and needs a change, people just try to justify it by pointing how bad the other side can be worse. Like 90% of lemmy democrats don't get that I'm not motivated to vote for being waist-deep in shit vs chest-deep in shit. Yes, one is worse than another, but I prefer to vote so I don't have to be in shit at all. But all they will say back is hurr durr trump bad.

TBH, no one looks at police shooting and thinks it's the country Georgia and not Georgia, USA.

I have no proof, but I find it difficult to believe that /r/gadgets mods spammed every thread for months with raycon earbuds giveaway only for the good of the community and got nothing in return. Raycon, the same brand that pays every other youtuber for advertising their earbuds.

I won't generalize that all mods were making money from modding, but what is true is that if you have some authority, there is almost always some opportunity for corruption.
