Until 1968, presidential candidates were picked by party conventions – a process revived by Biden’s withdrawal from race in c/politics@lemmy.world

I don’t know, it could probably work, America is the outlier for their election seasons. UK elections are held 5-6 weeks after Parliament is dissolved. The 2022 French Presidential election was held less than 2 weeks after the polling date was announced. Comparatively, the USA’s 7 months to convention, 10 months to election is a lifetime. You can do loads in 106 days

Do you ever feel the "dormant person feeling"? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] techwooded@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

For me I think part of it is more nostalgia for a certain relationship I had with this person, even if it wasn’t a close one, and my life during the time I knew them.

I think that the internet has given us this almost elongation effect to personal relationships though. Some people are just meant to pass into our lives for a brief time then pass out of them, and that’s okay

Best Standalone Fantasy Novels (lemmy.ca)
 

What's everyone's favorite standalone fantasy novels? No sequels, no trilogies, just a rare gem in the fantasy landscape.

To start things off, I would say that one of my favorites is "Talion: Revenant" by Michael Stackpole. Really intriguing world and a good storyline, primarily character driven I would say.

How to put the message preview next to the inbox list instead of below? (lemmy.ca)
 

Anyone know where the setting is to do this? I prefer having the message preview next to the inbox list (as shown on the website, see the picture), but the default appears to have it along the bottom of the screen. Thanks

Use Cases for Particular Profiles? (lemmy.ca)
 

New(er) to the trend, and I was just curious if there were any particular uses for when one key profile is better ergonomically/functionally/etc or if it's always more just an aesthetic/preference reason
