nazis aren’t fish. i don’t care to convert them. i want to drive the back under the rock they crawled from under.

no one is disenfranchising dem voters at all

if their goal was to find an alternate to trump and biden, what do you think they’d be doing now? my guess is they’d be waiting to see if they can actually get behind whatever the dems do next.

oh shit. super bad guy. glad i never installed a fucking client. fuck everything about this.

i don’t trust it because it is very big on the design meaning to be “censorship resistant” and there are certain kinds of posts that people make that probably should be censored, and while i like that some tools exist to make pseudononymous, censorship-resistant communications possible (tor and i2p are good. freenet is fine imho), this one looks like a grift that has a neon sign saying “censorship resistant”… and i am sure that associating with those people will lead to encountering some of that material that probably should be censored.

There’s a good reason Lemmy doesn’t have videos.

peertube exists. it’s activitypub. lemmy is the reddit-like interface to activitypub. but the fediverse definitely has video. it even has live streaming through OwnCast (though i think peertube has livestreaming scheduled to be implemented as well)

edit: hey i just found a movie station!

Why are we engaging at all?

because i objected to your bad faith characterization of another user’s comments.

You didn’t actually listen to what I said, you in fact deliberately and in bad faith edited out parts so that you could argue against what you want to argue against.

i made your position more succinct. you provided two options and said they were the only possible explanations, then said “that’s reality”. you constructed a false dichotomy. there was no nuance to your comment that would have undermined this construction of your argument. your assumption of other peoples beliefs and motivations is a bad faith approach altogether.

well i am not interested in getting bogged down in defending any particular motivation, i’m only trying to keep the conversation intellectually honest. it seems that you understand, now, that there might be other motivations, and as such that your previous accusations were in fact bad faith.

i asked copilot to weigh in on this. i have edited it for brevity (there was a lot of boiler-plate), but this is the last half or so completely unedited:

Whether or not someone is engaging in bad faith would depend on their intent and whether they genuinely believe in their arguments or are purposefully distorting the discussion.

It’s important to approach such discussions with the aim of understanding and addressing the actual points being made, rather than attributing motives or misrepresenting positions. This fosters a more productive dialogue and helps avoid the pitfalls of bad faith arguments and logical fallacies. If you feel the discussion is not progressing constructively, it may be beneficial to step back and reassess the approach to ensure a good faith exchange of ideas.

No, that’s reality.

stating your perspective about it doesn’t make it reality. you need to actually listen to what people say, and if you think it’s unrealistic, then you can say you think it’s unrealistic, but you can’t just assert that they can’t possibly have any other motivations.

They either believe Jill Stein will actually win … Or… they have looked at the difference and decided that it isn’t much

this is still putting words in their mouths. it’s not good-faith engagement.

No, they don’t care who wins because they are privileged and think it won’t affect them.

another bad faith statement. you need to ask them what they want, and believe their answer, or dialogue cannot progress.

no, they are saying they don’t want any of that and voting against Republicans and Democrats at the same time.

you literally accused people who said they want Jill Stein to win of lying and actually wanting another candidate to win. that’s bad faith.

Jill Stein wants no war. your accusation is pure bad faith.

I really wanted to like the ms launcher. very customizable, and frankly it is kind of awesome. but I didn’t stick with it. I was using oneui for years when I started shopping for launchers, and I landed on kiss.

it’s not a majority of the revenue. it’s about half of the revenue from beans that are pressed for oil, but there are other uses.

most people get at least some of their food for free, subsidized, or through farming, gardening, or hunting. this study only accounted for foods taht people buy. it’s misleading to claim this represents accurately how much people spend on food.
