If you don’t con them, someone else will. Although their values will usually align so there is that.
He was just a Fledditor. Living in a Lemmy woooorld.

I mean involvement of the voters themselves. I push a lot of my friends to just go vote, but they still won’t. If you figure out how to get people to actually want to fix the situation, let me know.
I agree with the viewpoints, but many voted for the Russia supporting party, and noone else got enough support in the primaries. There needs to be massively increased primary involvement before a systemic change to move away from the two party system can be feasible. I’m a big fan of ranked choice voting myself, but what big party candidate is going to advocate for that in the current climate? I’m hoping changes can happen over the next decade as my generation and the one below get even more active.
That would be a really fast way for me to stop spending any of my time on youtube I guess.
I’m on my phone less, commenting more, avoiding more ads, and much happier with the content/comments on Lemmy. Reddit chains sometimes felt a little brain-rotty.
There are days I look at the US military as a food processor. Bodies go in, and are completely forgotten about until company asks “what is that smell coming from the sink?”
If you’re experiencing this issue, unfortunately, you only have two options: Either disable your ad blocker or pay for a YouTube premium subscription
Oh wow, they managed to not say the quiet part out loud.
I work making low quality dog food; like stuff the local shelters won’t accept unless they get desperate. You bet your ass I do my job properly to make sure the dogs can’t get salmonella from the food. I can’t stop people buying it, but I’ll do what I can for safety.
True, especially as many similar programs met the same fate.
Exactly. Do what you can when you can. Everyone needs a hand sometimes. Be that for the people around you. Even if you can’t agree on everything.
Lot of good things in here. A couple thoughts. One: Because Lemmy is nice to be on/use. The community generally ‘slaps’ as the generations below me call it. Two: Also white male USA and have also been deeply concerned for the past several years. I chose to focus on community directly around me while acknowledging the crappy situation everywhere due to asshats abusing power/status/wealth. I take solace that the people I choose to spend time around are generally reasonable people and try to help eachother out when we can and always when needed.
True. To throw my opinion into the mix, if the Rings of Power show did actually copy from his work, they should look to partner with Demetrious instead of all this nonsense. I agree he legally can’t profit off the IP of the Tolkien estate as laws stand, but copywrite also lasts far longer than it has any good reason to. It should be the author’s lifetime plus a decade or so. Finally, it is an affront to creativity everywhere to order the destruction of all physical and electronic copies. That should not happen. Ever.
Exactly! Add the alchohol and drugs and there’s no self-control left! Glad I’m not the only one, judging by the username.
Phone user here, can confirm. Wouldn’t get anything done if I had lemmy or reddit open on my pc.
It feels like mostly internet veterans and people that care to explain themselves to me. Less recent users that don’t know technology or are newer to social media that isn’t “mainstream”.
Agreed. I’ll be staying with Lemmy. I don’t care about daily active user numbers, I care about how Spez is treating Reddit and having good post content. Redditors themselves (as a whole) are not a problem, and I have a plethora of good posts to go through when I get on every few days.
Have a great day yourself
I wish I could have that viewpoint. Believe me.
Ty, I’ll probably look into that wiki article, but I like to hear individual thoughts on the matter as well. ❤️
Man. What I would gove to have firearm violence so far away that I don’t know the gun laws in my own country. Ty for the response.
Avoidance isn’t my goal. Reduction is. Might be the same for the other commentor
Drink out of what you want, but I like being able to scrub my reusable bottle.
