This is the $300 Android phone to beat in 2023 - and it even has a stylus
  • OnePlus was fully designed and created in China while Motorola was bought out by Lenovo. Motorola is still fishy but it's technically still an American company so I feel better about it. It's just false hope that my data isn't being stolen, privacy is dead anyways.

  • This is the $300 Android phone to beat in 2023 - and it even has a stylus
  • The Nothing Phone is the only other real option, but it's also one phone while Motorola has several options for several different price ranges. OnePlus is purely Chinese (I know Motorola isn't perfect but it could be worse). Google Pixels aren't cheap.

  • Climate change impact has hurt F1’s image in Germany, says Hulkenberg
  • The cars are not the sustainability issue. If every modern car was as efficient as F1 cars then we would be in a much better spot regarding climate change. The issue is with the massive transportation effort involving planes, trucks, and ships required to transport materials between the races.

    Voting only for people from [insert political party] for local positions is idiotic.
  • Well in that case I should just vote straight-ticket Republican. I've always voted a mix of Democrat and Republican on local levels (since I've always voted for the best person for the job), but clearly that's not wise if I want to achieve my political goals.

  • Voting only for people from [insert political party] for local positions is idiotic.

    There is no reason to consider one's political party in local elections, if they are even a part of one, in local elections. Large social and economic issues simply do not matter for small positions such as city council or mayor. If you're part of a large city such as NYC then sure but the vast majority of us aren't. By the way, this only applies to the US because of our "wonderful" 2 party system.

    J. Michael Luttig, a conservative retired federal judge and key adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence, declared on Wednesday that “there is no Republican Party” and said former President Donald Trump is even more dangerous than he was in the aftermath of the 2020 election.

    By the way, I know that CNN isn't even really news anymore but it's easily accessible to everyone.

    The New York Times certainly isn't a conservative newspaper. If even they are saying Portland has become horrible, it must be worse than anybody can imagine.

    Iowa : President: Republican primary : 2024 Polls

    Recent polls have shown Trump getting 46% of the Republican vote while Desantis gets only 16% in second place. Does anyone here think that anybody other than Trump ever had/has a chance at getting the nomination?

    I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)

    I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.
