    Apparently asking what people are going to do to relax after voting must be taboo, because my post got deleted without me being told why.

      The moderators have the power therefor when they do something rude it actually isn’t rude. In fact you are rude for suggesting that they are being rude, and deserve punishment.

      It’s funny how power works.

    As a lesbian trans person I like the words dyke and tranny, but only use it for myself. They’re funny and cute. I was honestly surprised to learn that people are so deeply against the words.

    • “Why doesn’t this site have more in common with reddit, which it’s literally a clone of?”
    • Can’t bring up Trans people existing (without a weirdo downvoting you)
    • Can’t be critical of… a certain religion without getting jumped by keyboard warriors and getting called a Genocide Supporter
    • Don’t even get me started on whatever the heck is with the Hexbear people…

    Social Justice Warriors forcing their agenda and worldview into languages, movies, books, and games, and cancelling everyone who did something regrettable in the past.

      I’m not a huge fan of cancel culture either, but I’ve not paid a cent to any artists’ work that I love in my whole life, so I feel I can justify my position by holding up my hands and saying “hey, I don’t fund their lifestyle. Never have, never will.”

        If anything, that was just an answer to the topic question, I don’t have anything about anyone’s human rights. Ah, by the way, I forgot! Of course! What I said also includes the necessity to explicitly state your words aren’t deliberately harmful if they can be seen as such by someone. (Again, it’s just an answer to the topic, I don’t bear any harmful intentions to anyone.)

    On lemmy?

    • Two-space indent (as superior to tab indent)

    • Hey, by the way, your comment was kinda racist

    • I’m a new user and why isn’t this more like reddit

    • I’m pretty okay with capitalism, actually

    • Here’s video without text summary (NB: this one is, IMO, entirely deserving of downvotes)

      + Here’s video without text summary

      I really don’t get why people get so upset about that. We don’t get summaries on Youtube either but still watch the videos.

        1. We go to youtube to watch videos. We go to lemmy comments to read text.

        2. Youtube videos DO have descriptions, though?

          1. Sure, if it’s just a bare link in the comments I understand, but as a post with the original video title and usually an autogenerated thumbnail, I don’t see a problem.
          2. The YT descriptions are not shown in the list of videos and rarely contain a summary of the video.

    All drugs should be legal and regulated.

    Is it worth it, drug warriors? All the unnecessary deaths, at the hands of police and unregulated drugs of a unknown potency? Was it worth sacrificing all our civil liberties on the vain funeral pyre that is the United States of America?

    When humanity is victorious in the drug war and all drugs are legalized, will drug users criminalize sobriety?

    Will people high as fuck demand everyone to piss in a plastic cup to make sure they are high?

    Will drug users ruin sober people’s lives with felonies and time in prison with hardened criminals?

    Will drug users dissolve civil liberties and prop up a bipartisan police state that gives cops a license to kill?

    NO!

    Who would want to do that to someone? To a fellow human for doing what they want with their own bodies? Prohibitionists… that’s who. And we are not them

    Nothing lasts forever drug warriors. Tick tock. We will be free one day, and you will wail and moan and your cries will fall on deaf ears.

    Get fucked prohibitionists. Feel fortunate we want justice, not retribution.

    I fucking hate React. It’s slow, verbose, and unpleasant to work with. It’s all the worst parts of Java brought over to JavaScript. That being said, it’s still better than Angular.

        There’s so much boilerplate to even do the most simple tasks. And that boilerplate is something that could usually be automatically added by a compiler.

        That kind of stuff often introduces footguns.

      I wouldn’t mind switching to alternative libraries like Svelte or Solid but can’t imagine going back to plain Javascript for complex applications. It’s a pain in the ass, even with jQuery.

        I use Svelte, and I love it. Although I’m not a huge fan of the new Runes syntax. It’ll probably grow on me though.

      I’d call it a cultural artifact. We used to get married very young. In some cultures the kids are introduced to sex by the grandparents. And of course in our own culture the ideal of sexy beauty is a supermodel who looks like a 13 year old boy. It’s a whirlwind wrapped in a psychosis for sure.

      Economics doesn’t seem as big of a thing as the other 3. Anyone who’s nerdy enough to talk economics without making it political could probably have a pretty good discussion. I vote we change it to Elephants. Religion, Abotion, Politics, Elephants, or Rape.

        Economics is poorly understood by the vast majority of Americans. To most people, it is purely political.
