I’ve done it once, it wasn’t that bad

I should probably cancel my trip to Cape Disappointment

HUH???

The constitution is worth less than the paper it was written on at this point

It’s an ideological position, yes we should be striving for a non-ableist society

Every take that excludes this perspective is ableist.

Just my two cents as a person who was born and will die disabled.

Love this, what a fantastic reminder

Zuc specifically seems to be floundering more than the others, not that it matters obviously but I think it really shows he hit a jackpot not that he’s especially skilled, smart or talented.

To answer your gun “question” the answer is generally no, it’s DEFINITELY no where I live but gun laws vary. I own guns, they required licensing and background checks and waiting periods. My drone had to be registered with the FAA to fly legally and even then many places are completely off limits to me.

Americans tend to be obsessed with convenience and will sacrifice almost anything or anyone to increase their convenience in even the smallest way, including rejecting the concepts of public and personal health and safety.

Being a teen mom sky rockets the chance your children will become parents as teens

This is actually one of the only demographics where fertility has fallen. Adult women have been having more or less the same amount of kids for a while now

As a person who has used em-dash style of writing for decades, because it’s correct and appropriate, I hate that AI has made me seem like a bot

I don’t understand why 1) people are using a service they know is rigged due to insider info 2) simply not following/watching these accounts and copying them

Granted I don’t gamble and don’t know much about this specific platform but it seems silly to be blindly betting with in this set up?

The 2016 point is, on point. I remember the absolute flood of pro-Trump, incel, conservative content that felt completely inorganic and had very little representation prior popping up literally everywhere, everyday. It was like a firehose of far right fringe ideas was aimed at Reddit. Reddit 100% had problems prior but it was mostly focused on violence/sexual violence towards women and girls and wasn’t ever on the front page, other than maybe Jailbait. Even at the time people using Reddit were aware and talking about how unnatural it all seemed but now it’s too far gone and been normalized.

I was a very early Reddit user, and a “power user” for over a decade who was permanently banned for “inciting violence” by saying I was surprised Kanye hadn’t murder/suicided Kim or Taylor yet as a joke. I think my far left progressive comments were more likely the reason.

Even huge thriving communities on Reddit have zero representation here. The culture is also hyper specific on Lemmy. I find Lemmy to be generally more tolerant of my progressive, feminist, disabled person views but also if I want to talk about them there’s not that many places, but there are what feels like hundreds of options to talk about stuff I have absolutely no interest in like operating systems. I think it’s a diversity issue

I love that we are killing the earth for this

Jarvis comes to mind, although I’m only familiar with it from early iron man movies, idk if they gave it a better personality later

Nah we gotta cut off everyone’s hands right? That’s how logic works isn’t it? Nothing works unless it applies 100% to 100% of possible situations

Fun fact!
