They are both wrong and they are both right. Up until this past week, I tended to be more sympathetic towards Palestine. Unfortunately, the most recent terrorist attack by Hamas was against more than just Israel or its military. It was a terrorist attack at a music festival, and Hamas attacked citizens of multiple nations.
It’s a lot easier to support Israel right now. It sounds like they’re about to commit their own atrocities though, so you might have to flip your position tomorrow.
Maybe it should say, “If the world went open source, and capitalism went away.”
I’m not going to go to Reddit to read a call to action. Is the call to action, “boycott Reddit?” If so, I have good news for you… if the call to action is something other than “stop using Reddit,” it’s the wrong call to action.
I can somewhat understand both perspectives. Although I too sail the high seas, if you don’t have the aptitude to self host, and you only care to binge a show over the weekend, $12 (or whatever it costs now) is a somewhat justifiable expense. I mean, 1 comic book is $4-$6 on average these days. One of those might provide 15 minutes of entertainment and a month of anticipation. $12 is a good value.
Bernie is right.
Remember when Elon called the cave guy “the pedo dude?” I guess he knew him personally.
Yea, we wouldn’t want anyone doing anything illegal with crypto… 🙄
X. I can’t think of a tech company that’s done more harm this year.
One cool thing for me (as a current FL resident) is that my cost of living has gone up so much that it’s motivated me to move to WA. I’ve been kinda lingering around Central FL for several years, not really sure where to go because everywhere else would be more expensive by comparison. Now I’ve finally found that motivation! Thanks Meatball! My homeowners insurance has gone from $900 a year to $4200, and I needed to buy a new roof to get that insurance to the tune of $10k. The old roof was only 12 years old. Insurance companies won’t cover a damn thing if your roof is > 10 years old in FL now.
If I’m going to spend all this money on living expenses I may as well do that somewhere better.
Parked police cars on fire? Yes, I would also suspect arson.
Abortion and Recreational Marijuana are on the FL ballot as a result of petitions and signatures. The voters are still blue in a lot of areas; and there’s been a large rejection of the DeSantis maneuvering around Disney, and costing the state business.
A terrible idea would be not trying.
I disagree, he’s dumb and horrible with anything that has to do with economics too. Fascism is a terrible system.

My 2 cents that no one asked for… mentioning, or hypothesizing that he’s “secretly gay,” is meant to further articulate the degree of absurdity around his views. I do not believe it’s meant as a which hunt or an insult.
I don’t know why we can’t just send the typical GOP care package of “thoughts and prayers.”
A lot of the time it's just an attempt to be patriotic and not fuck up the color scheme of the vehicle.
At this point, even if Reddit decides to do a full 180, I’m not going back. The community here is smaller, but it’s better right now. There’s a strong sense of unity and I’ve yet to see anything toxic.
I’m also not planning on telling others about kbin/ Lemmy/ fediverse. I am really appreciating the current self selection bias.
Meh… I’m not going to spend any of my time going to whatever that other website is to “protest.” I come to news aggregators to read news. That’s why I’m on kbin now instead of that other website that killed 3rd party apps.
The republican philosophy on governance has always been “The government is ineffective and wasteful; vote for me and I’ll prove it.”
Not sure there’s anything to report with the previous comment; yet I don’t disagree with it being a dick thing to say.
I was playing it last night on steam. I needed a new GPU recently and it came with a code to download it. 🤷♂️
I get random messages on LinkedIn from people that want to interview me weekly, and my team has also seen some voluntary turnover. I’m not sure that I believe the article.
Lower the price???
Holy shit, we still have lead pipes in places!? I thought those were replaced in the 80's.
Matt Gaetz next please.
To be honest, I'm not sure why YouTube was brought into a conversation about free speech. YouTube is not a free speech platform; thus, demonetization of someone on YouTube's platform has nothing at all to do with free speech.
20?!? I remember the “wake up sheeple” being quite prevalent during the pandemic.
I can't tell if I don't like Starfield, or playing games anymore. I got it on September 1st, and played it for a few hours that night. I played it for a couple hours the night after that, and then I played it for like 30 minutes yesterday. I haven't really been hardcore about any game since before the pandemic. It's not the same now that my gaming machine lives at the desk that is also my home office. I've typically wanted to just get out of this room when work is done, so a game has to be really good to keep me sitting here.
I do not agree with your interpretation whatsoever, but to argue that slavery was “no big deal” at the time is also factually invalid.
Government is ineffective; vote for me so I can prove it. -Republicant Mantra
Abuse, yes… sexual abuse, no. Psychological abuse is a better fit for this.
That’s the reason I want a mega thread. I want to be able to scroll past anything Elon. Putting it in one spot is ideal.
100% in agreement. Not just minorities… everyone that leans left too. I’d really like to see some funding go towards providing free firearms training courses for the trans community.
That's not totalitarian enough.
Federating with an entity that is publicly traded and has shareholders to answer to surely has a goal of endless profit growth - that’s the nature of capitalism. The current spirit of the fediverse is one not driven by profits. What we have now will very likely change into something that doesn’t resemble our current experience once it’s engulfed by Meta.
I agree with your intent but I refuse to call them conservative.
If you profit 2% every year, whether or not it’s a “requirement,” that is limitless growth.
Regardless, the Supreme Court’s opinion about the lack of an on the books law around an obligation is not relevant. We also don’t have a law on the books about how gravity works, nor one about rain making the ground wet.

Considering how she’s not in politics anymore, I hope she sues him for libel.
