US residents: What big domestic policy improvements have the american people won from congress in the last 30 years? (kbin.social)

Interpret improvements as you like. For me it's any large scale reforms or legislative packages designed to improve the country for all or see to the material interests of the majority without overly benefiting the elite....

SOPA/PIPA

That bill would have completely destroyed the internet. Democrats and republicans alongside Hollywood faught the American people and lost. It’s the only time I’ve seen the people actually win, and pretty much every individual regardless of their other politics was united against it. It’s debatable if we could have done it without Google and the rest of big tech helping though. But still, it sent a clear message across the entire political spectrum that there was a line they couldn’t cross.

We also briefly won Net Neutrality ( en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality ), and although it’s no longer in effect, the ISPs would have probably done a lot worse if they didn’t know we cared and are watching.

Honestly though, I don’t know if stopping things from getting a lot worse should even count as an “improvement”.

That’s legit the reason why Lara Croft is the star of Tomb Raider.

I switched a friend from Ubuntu to Fedora specifically because the partition setup during Fedora install is so good. (It was during a new build)

krakenx,

How to tell if your boss is secretly an AI.

krakenx,

As long as you wear eye protection like goggles or a snorkel mask, the ocean is amazing to look at underwater.
