The things that make us hate it is how they make so much money.

Just dig a hole in a subduction zone and let tectonics reclaim the materials.

Almost 10 percent t of the entire planet’s GDP isn’t that much.

Nothing is deleted, just slightly obscured, and some apps don’t even do that. Child porn, illegal revenge porn, hate speech, everything is stored forever.

I wasn’t debating you, I don’t disagree with anything you said. You posted a thought provoking come to and I shared my thoughts.

Waxing romantic.

Too much aural.

Oh boy, I’m high and feeling chatty. Bag of wind incoming:

Progressives do want better, but the moderate faction, who don’t post on Lemmy, is much larger and they think genocide is keen. If all the progressives unimously said we won’t vote for a Democrat that supplies Isreal, it might not have even had an effect on her platform, we’d just get Trump. The moderates have more money and REALLY support genocide.

That said, using the slippery slope of Tea Party all the way to Trump has been an excuse that has now turned the moderate democrats much more conservative. The border is going to be a horror show under her. It’s a complex situation and progressives are a smaller (but growing) group. The best thing to do is keep swelling our numbers and voting. We still have to compromise with our liberal Democrat allies, but they still recognize they’d lose without us, so they are throwing progressives a few more bones every year. We are getting more candidates elected in lower positions, where the power to change really lies.

Going from America today to the good kind of socialist state will be gradual and take generations. We have to play ball while being vocal and voting in big numbers. It has to evolve from capitalism, like we see in many other western wealthy countries. Tankies want it now, with violence to take and violence to hold. Families executes en masse to keep power for which they have no mandate. You’re really gonna wanna get that public support if you don’t want a warlord dictator in charge.

I’m Canadian and because of QAnon and Trump, I don’t have a relationship with my sister anymore and I see my dad once every few years out of obligation, but not a day goes by where he doesn’t say something mortifying racist or fascistic. He watches Fox News from the US every day. They aren’t allowed a Canadian channel because they don’t meet our legal standards for truthful reporting. American politics always leak into Canada. I hate it.

MrBeast is being revealed as who he always was underneath the veneer.

This is why I request it. I hate card view and will never use it. A long press menu or a swipe menu takes no physical space on screen and ads extremely useful functionality.

In list view, not cards? How? I try long pressing posts, swiping them, every input method I can think of.

I think they’re pointing out the kind of porn posts they do not wish to encounter but are forced to in non-card mode.

The joke was too subtle, but they’ve got the spirit.

I do mean blocking users and communities. The three dots only exist in card view, and I hate that view.

I hate that format.

That’s not money so it’s inconceivable to foreign relations pundits.

What?! Ha ha, what is cheating in an online comment? Things aren’t "supposed to"ing like you want so its cheating? Cheating means breaking rules. Are saying adhering to some kind of rules or regulations would make our conversations more productive?

Aw, that’s cute, a drummer thinks he’sa musician too? (I kid, that’s a running joke in music circles, percussionists are definitely musicians, we’d be lost without them). That’s awesome! I suppose expert drumming in Rock Band would be a lot like the real thing. A program like rock band would probably work as a great drum trainer on a real set.

That’s great! These things are super fun. Just don’t call yourself an artist or try to copyright your generations. That’s like pretending to be a musician because you’re good at Guitar Hero.

No one has ever dealt with people before, you clearly have an advantage over every one else. Businesses work exactly like wet wood, it’s a flawless analogy.

I wasted so much time speaking with politicians, learning about economics and history, and all I needed to do was have experiences with people and I’d be a political genius too. I mean here I am, almost 40 years old, having spent my entire working career and off time dealing with people, but that doesn’t count. None it counts but yours.

When I look around now vs years ago and see how deregulation is the cause of for almost all of our modern woes, I am left to agree with you, the solution must be even more delegation. Unmitigated greed by earth’s most ruthless people has always heralded a golden age of universal prosperity. Just look at the industrial revolution and the 20s. Children working and dying in factories and mines again is a sign of good things, but society can only succeed if we can sell these kids hard, addictive drugs without legal interference.
