This had been well documented a number of times now in multiple countries.

It’s ironic given the right usually argues they’re doing better for the economy.

It’s honestly terrible that thousands of Palestinians can die and noone gives a fuck, but 1 Australian and all of a sudden Australia is outraged. I say this as an Australian as well.

People are missing the forest for the trees but you are right.

If Republicans force this through on every bill then at some point it would have to pass. You can’t just shut down the US government indefinitely in the real world.

Cheers.

Sync didn’t use ro have ads (or maybe I was blocking them successfully) but now it does. So will try something else as fuck ads.

I’m curious, do you use this on mobile or are you talking about a desktop experience?

Personally I find more ads on something like Sync on mobile than I did on Reddit which I can block, but I am now forced to use the Reddit desktop site.

Who gets banned from Reddit as a whole though?

You’d have to literally be posting child porn or something.

Or is this just a conceptual argument that doesn’t actually mean anything in reality?

Not sure I understand tbh. Seems exactly the same?

You get banned in a reddit community you can’t access it, you get banned in a lemmy community you can’t access it.

I’ve been banned from reddit communities and can still access reddit. If you’ve been banned from Reddit completely you must have done some terrible shit.

In your example, you’re also suggesting a transphobic person has more scope on Lemmy to continue being transphobic than on Reddit. That’s not a good thing?

I am quite confused by your post tbh.

Just be aware Lemmy has its own share of issues and extremist views. It’s not as simple as Reddit is evil and Lemmy is good, both have their pros and cons at end of day and realistically they both probably have a role to play for people.

PSVR - fun for a week but otherwise useless.

A lot of it is political at end of day.

Taylor Swift is looking to be a supporter of the Democratic Party in US, so the Republicans are running targeted attacks on her to reduce credibility as the election is coming up.

It’s nothing new but just be aware that people posting these memes may just be bots/paid marketers essentially.

Lol they’re so kooky omg! We just have to go inside for a coffee!!

There are more words this didn’t work for than words this does work for…

Well the simple reason is you can get stuck in certain world views or ideas which are wrong and hurt others.

In most cases you’re fine, like talking about your favourite TV shows or whatever. But it’s also easy to get stuck in a view like visiting your country’s instance and it turns out it’s a bit radicalised against immigrants, or certain places where you end up blaming everything on women and the “woke movement”.

In a lesser way it can get you stuck in toxic ideas (e.g., PC/Playstation/Windows/Xbox/Linux is better than the other one and you are dumb if you disagree!).

Just depends on the community at end of day, but the more echoey chamber it is, the more likely you’ll end up with those sorts of us VS them world views that are a bit blind and horribly biased.

That’s generally not a good thing…

That means it’s more likely to be an echo chamber or just bots auto posting…

You want a lot of diversity - within specific groups sure, the same names are fine but across groups that’s a bad sign.

This is good, nice to finally have competition.

Tesla is extremely overrated (as can be seen by them repeatedly lowering prices now that any competiton exists).

And the BYD is a nice little car. I test drove one and was quite surprised how many features it had.

Hopefully others will follow suit. The EV market up till now has just been overly expensive cars unfortunately which hurts adoption.

Pretty spot on in my opinion.

I buy the cheapest coffee beans I can from supermarket, and have had coffee snobs comment how much they love the coffee I make and where I buy it from.

Salt is salt, it tastes the same.

Not sure on the land one… That one is a bit odd admittedly.

Didn’t you just make an argument for buying the more expensive knives and that they are worth it?

They’re both consenting adults, and it’s just sex.

It’s yuck in the same way a teen might say old people (30+ yos) having sex are yuck.

But there’s nothing inherently wrong about it, your views are just judgemental. May also just be a cultural thing to be fair, or as societies attitude towards sex become more open, older views may still just be very conservative.

Oh boy. Wait till you hear about Trump! You’ll be even sadder to hear the crimes he’s done. :(

I did speed comparisons and it was just terribly slow.

Plus I hated the functionality of opening up every single new url in a new tab. That was enough for me to give up on it to be honest, so frustrating and no options to change.

Agree its privacy is debatable, but it’s still better than Chrome. Can at least block all ads.
