"Enthusiasm" has always been a "flex" for GOP these recent elections.

Is that similar to a noise meter at events?

The enthusiasm equals 2 football fields plus 6 cubits.

Harris's candidacy has led to a surge in my enthusiasm, and I'm an old white lady.

Judging other people’s Linux distros, probably. Isn’t that why everyone’s on Lemmy?

Honestly? I ended up here because the 1st-party Reddit app is cancer.

Well I could hardly stay on Reddit. Sheesh.

Reddit is the meth park of the Internet

Reddit now is just bots arguing with each other.

I gotta say, it's weird seeing how much the US brings race and gender into stuff in 2024. Like, whether good or bad, massive cohorts produce outcome based on that.

Whether someone's claiming "I'm left" or "I'm right", It's all like stepping back in time. It's a really weird, fragmented country and much of those involved are too focused on the other "side" to realise they're part of the core problem too, simply by being stuck in and fueling that 'us' and 'them' thinking which holds it so far back from actual progress.
