  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I assume we're not going to have elections this year because "bad people". But if we do have a real Congressional election, I would encourage you to vote for anything or anyone other than the MAGA Republican garbage.

I don't care if your a Green, Liberal, Anarchist, Satanist, Leftist, Libertarian or otherwise, the MAGA Republicans have shown their true colors. They read Bible verses from their positions of power, to military leaders. Important new trends are emerging all the same time. We live in a special moment in history.

And it is ultimately our responsibility to transform the whole thing into something silly. Love, Light and Language are our signatures and tools.

Best of luck to everyone.

P.S. - We might disagree on choices but roughly 95% - 98% of us are on the same team. The other 2% - 5% are among the most dangerous humans who have ever lived. That's a fact.

this is just an ad for that gambling site

100% something you see gambling sites do to encourage people to place bets.

I'm getting pretty tired of the notion that gambling odds are better predictors than polls.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 17 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It’s just like a poll! Only you’re only polling people rich and emotionally disconnected enough to want to place these types of bets. I’m sure that won’t skew anything, right?

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Wait, are we still talking about money skewing the bet, or are we talking about the bet skewing the reality?

i have family stupid enough to follow those things as if they predict the future

It's also good to keep in mind that the gambling site is predicting only a 50% chance of a sweep. That's still coinflip odds.

No, you see it's an ad for that gambling site that was boosted by a twitter influencer who added value by saying "Let's fucking go!!!! 🔥" And, after that, someone screenshotted this influencer's post that boosted the gambling site and posted it here. Then people upvoted it.

Was that influencer paid to promote the gambling site? Probably. Was OP paid? Probably not, just a useful idiot.

It's not even a gambling site.

It's a site for idiots to funnel money to greedy assholes with insider information.

If you only have publicly available information, you're just throwing money away if you regularly use the site.
