Elon made Lemmy side with Big Advertisement

My comment here is a much better use of energy

For example, I’m Jewish. If a non-Jew makes a “Jews run the world” joke, it’ll likely come across as highly anti-semitic. If I were to make that joke, I’d stand a decent chance of getting a laugh

You mean to say that the Jews that run the world have access to exclusive jokes?

Has America finally found the cure to obesity? Low wages and inflation!

It's still cheap, only 20x the minimum wage

At least if you consider that in my country the cheapest is 50x the minimum wage

They have become

Always have been

When a man becomes so rich and his "thing" so popular, he thinks he is smart enough to be an expert in anything all at once

my parents angrily forbid me to do drugs or have sex and begged me not to drink to excess. Guess which activities I regularly engaged in

I too was vehemently forbidden, but I managed to understand how bad drugs and excessive drinking are and felt no need to rebel by "cutting off one's nose to spite one's face"

Two people can go through the same environment and have completely different outcomes

The browser extension doesn't need reddit API access, it just needs Lemmy API access

It would grab the reddit submission page html data

Why do you suppose dating is worse now?

Globalization and social media

Just read the articles on Tinder, it's a sad affair for the not attractive man

When all men you had access to where the village boys you won't be that picky. Once the whole world can sext you, why settle for the ok dude that looks nice in a suit if you squint enough?

I'm a new user and I can't really use it on mobile yet, kind of confusing

I cry thinking something like this could happen with my son.

Gotta prepare him for when he is antagonized

My nephew is autistic, ODD and goes violent when going overboard

The more he is antagonized young, the better he learns how to deal with it. He is getting much better at understanding himself and controlling himself in situations he wouldn't have a few years ago

mostly unrestricted access

This only works to prevent mass shootings of opportunity, the planners just jump the necessary hoops

Lemmy does have some jarring bugs like this one

Another one that makes it near unusable is that content jumps when lemmy for some reason updates the feed automatically and on the top

I have to try to click a post faster than the update because it will rerender the whole list and any open images close

Surprising that there are so many copyright bootlickers on lemmy

That is very violent phrasing and you only deem it ok because it's geared toward the "right kind of people"

Affirmative action is only silly if you don’t accept that systemic racism exists.

Just because AA isn't "silly" doesn't mean it's a correct policy

Most of AA "positives" can be achieved with income-based criteria, more seats in courses and the unachievable better base education and home environment

People don’t always grasp the amount of money a billionaire has

How much money do you think billionaires have?

This is so much better, congrats Ryan

I see them as a sad, sorry group

Always has been

And that made me wonder. I can’t get through to them to tell them that I don’t need it, right? How the hell does someone who DOES need it get through to get some help?

The answer is always that the money is being funneled to someone who doesn't care if you need it or not

It goes both ways for “not attractive” women as well

It does not, unless you mean "grotesquely not attractive"? Just read the articles, women are ruthless when rating men, so even "average" men can't get "average", or less-than, women (online dating)

But it’s still a numbers game

You are underestimating the numbers by too much

Stop arguing with flying squid, the guy hates rich people

enlightened centrism

checkmate sideists

Who reads more than 800 posts every day? I only ever get on twitter for juice drama every few months

They are there to interpret laws, not go along with what's socially acceptable at any given time

They are not the group of people you should look to for social progress and it's by design

Well, rocket science is not brain surgery

Where is the mod deleting comments that attack the person and not the idea

If you go with the worst POV on far-right, it's the same promises that lead men to war: after the war you'll have money and will be able to marry

In a world where money is hard to come by, and society and culture are deconstructed (and nothing is built to replace it), there is no much else they hold dear. So "war" is all that's left

It's been this way forever

You also just listed all the reasons that rape is allowed in most countries (rape, death risk, severe deformation, etc). You didn't touch on the "abort for any reason at any time" issue which is the flagship of leftist movement

You are not a leftist, just a centrist living in the US

Ouch, I cut my finger

I'll be in my 3rdW country eating popcorn

they often resort to re-defining words

The battle of the pot and the kettle

The colloquial abortion is only the fetus-deletus one

It's not, @SpaceNoodle did a dumb take in an effort to pile on the guy

Did anyone count the amount of "Mr. Huffman"'s in the article?

Wouldn’t you want to date someone who is into the things you’re into?

There are things more important to match on than hobbies and interests

Also, I'm enough of me, so I do not want a pair too much like me

If you make more stuff up, you can't paint me as Hitler

This is more complicated, as is often the case

Impossible, @Heavybell assured my it's a conspiracy theory peddled by woman-hating alt-right goons
