Hexbear is left wing.

Lmao this one is actually pretty funny, like I imagined you staring at it in your wardrobe like 'nah, I probably shouldn't'

Exactly.

All the people defending NFTs are ignoring the problem that they are still a very inefficient way to handle the proposed usecases.

The name for a system where you get people to buy valueless assets and drive up their price so you can sell yours and leave others holding the bag is: "Ponzi scheme."

No, that's a Greater Fool scheme. A Ponzi is more centralized and the people who get paid out are not supposed to be aware that the money is coming from new investors. Ponzi schemes hide that aspect of it. In a Greater Fool you are betting on someone being dumber than yourself enough to buy your worthless investment at a higher price.

A lot of crypto is Greater Fool, but there have been crypto Ponzi schemes.

As a side note, there is a cultural tendency to call all scams Ponzis when they are not. It is a specific type of scam.

Lol what do you think voting is?

Oh God I forgot about that lmao, what a fucking idiot. I wonder how many of his fellow Proud Boys tried it out too 🤣

Fibre is just the medium of transmission, the ISPs can throttle it however they want.

Here, take theae: ,,,,,

Not emitting is not that easy. We are in a transition period at the moment. Electric vehicles are here but we don't have all the infrastructure needed to support them. Let alone the fact that battery tech is not developing as fast as we need it to.

Right now liquid fuels still have the advantage of greater energy density. If we could move to hydrogen fuels that would be cool, and we could repurpose existing petroleum facilities.

But who knows which way the tech is going to go. The only sure thing is that we are in for a wild ride one way or the other.

Power mods... Except they are already here and banning opinions they don't like. Good thing it's super easy to make a new account on here.

How is it a parody?

Yet year over year, the prices keep going up even with record inflation

Well yeh, that's what inflation is...

As a conservative myself, I can say for certain the mods in that sub suck. They are exactly what they rail against, pisses me off so much.

You're the dolt lmao no one else has such a restrictive definition of the word. Context matters.

Couldn't have happened to a worse bunch of people lol

Ah yes, I too remember when the BBC openly advocated rape and lynching.

I think most users on here lean left one way or another.

I'm a conservative and that's not popular here at all.

I can't find that setting on either mobile browser or Jerboa... I'll keep looking though. I'm very new to Lemmy but I'm planning on staying. Reddit sucks now.

That's good you developed the insight to change. I think a lot of these guys could live happier lives of they looked within and made the effort.

Lmao I've been permabanned so many times, reddit really has gone to shit the last few years...if you dare have an opinion that goes against the majority you're in for a bad time. Fuck reddit.

Geez, was it really that long ago? Crazy

Lol I think you know why, this place probably leans pretty left.

I don't mind, I might not agree with most politics on here but fuck it I didn't on reddit anyway. There isn't even karma here.

I'm tempted, but I've been using Spotify so long it's hard to make a change. I should look into it again though.

It sucks you got downvoted so much. It's a legitimate point, and it's unsustainable for YouTube to keep hosting so much content if people aren't subscribing and aren't viewing ads.

Agreed, most of the content I see is whining about either reddit or Twitter, it's boring af

At least it means I fuck around less at work

I think the average and below average users aren't going to figure that out lol

Cheers, I might give it a go next time they offer me the free trial. I'm definitely not adverse to paying for ad-free access 😊

They never said that it's 90% recyclable. They said it can be recycled 'to an extent'. You're projecting.

It's not that, it's more that usually comments that are heavily downvoted get hidden and so see less real discussion, plus reddit starts rate-limiting you when you're heavily downvoted.

Lemmy seems to be better in that I might get downvoted, which is fine I don't give a fuck, but you don't get limited so you can still reply and have discussions.

I agree with you, but this site is full of people who hate the idea of companies having to make money and just steal shit all the time. It's a lame attitude to have I think, they believe they are entitled to others work because they don't like the distribution model.

People probably didn't like your reality TV comment but it's true my wife watches that shit lol

Because it's not good for productive economies that can produce solutions to current problems to stagnate and die. Japan should make moves to encourage a sustainable population growth rate.

Overpopulation is a problem mostly in struggling economies.

This is why this is such a stupid thing to get upset about. It's hypocritical to argue against one word and accept the other.

Wtf no one complained about that.

The only one of those I ever liked was the jumper cables guy.

I think a mix of religion and being brought up with old-school morality. I'm a conservative who has no problems with homosexuals, in fact HIV/AIDS is one of the causes I really get behind because the history of it fascinates me (currently reading And The Band Played On, it's great).

Whenever I see homophobia or erroneous beliefs about them I try and correct them when I can.

I'm anti-abortion in most cases, though I do see room for exceptions. I'm for a small government, though living in Australia I have seen that there is a place for the government to provide certain services that tend towards monopolies or that are vital to national security, like utilities, defense, etc. I don't agree with how we currently approach transgenderism: I believe it's a mental illness with devastating effects on its sufferers and that surgery and drugs are a blunt way to try and deal with it. I'm anti-immigration on a mass-scale, and I think allowing manufacturing to be decimated by globalism was a big mistake that we shouldn't have allowed.

That's just a few off the top of my head.

What was that about?

Bruh, I don't believe in late stage capitalism either but we are definitely living in capitalist economies in most of the world.

Capitalism isn't just laissez-faire, completely free market type stuff. It's a spectrum.

I would say just generalizing capitalism as 'bad' is also not in good faith. It is not without issues, and letting it be completely unrestrained would probably be disastrous. But no other economic system has lifted more people out of abject poverty or driven technological innovation as hard. There are benefits.
