    TIL: 54% of American Adults Read Below 6th Grade-Levels

    Jump

  • I'd say it's probably a lot more in line with the ones who didn't vote at all. I know everyone likes to say "conservative dumb," but we're all aware there are plenty of educated conservatives, probably just as many dumb liberals. The true dumb are the ones who sit out an election. That's "I don't read" dumb.

  • There would still be shitty political memes in shitpost, not a doubt in my mind. Lemmy, like reddit, can be used for propaganda, whether you agree or disagree with that propaganda.

  • There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people.

  • I'm fine letting people have 100m. It's really a drop in the bucket compared to the folks who have 1,000 times more than them. Definitely down to tax everything past that.

  • Yeah that's it. They don't mingle with us poors. They generally don't need security because there's no way us poors can get where they are. And when they need security, they have it in bunches.

  • Jokes aside, selling shit is America's bag. That is all America wants, is to sell stuff to everybody. And to buy people's stuff cheaply. Sell and buy. It's all America does, whether it's goods, services, peoples lives. And whether people want to buy or sell those things, America demands it.

  • This is the way to do it though. These posts are meant to make you feel a certain way, that's it. Lemmy is starting to fall into similar traps reddit did, with certain accounts doing all the heavy lifting on posting, and so now we have people or entities using this to basically decide how the regular Joe schmo (i.e. me) should feel. And we often see editorialized titles, cherry picked info from articles, and obviously biased sources.

    Despite my cynical view on the information presented, I am generally in agreement with most of it, but I do feel it's presented in such a way to foster anger and sadness among the readers, and that just makes me question motivation. Information should be presented and the reader should come to their own conclusions, and it is not what happens.

    Where Lemmy excels, at least for now, is that there is still some discourse. Posts that are negatively voted are not disappeared into obscurity as they are on Reddit. We haven't yet sunk to having a hive mind opinion, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility, and it's probably likely it occurs, because, like I said, I think we've already got bots and entities posting like they're individuals.

  • Plant a tree. Volunteer at your local food pantry. I am a full believe in tackling smaller problems more local to you. Trying to tackle the world's problems will only end up with you feeling angry and sad all the time.

    Jump

  • The EU can barely fight the US. Do they want to get into a costly war with the US over Greenland? That's it. That's literally the only way the heads of government think, in dollar signs. Is the cost of going to war with the US worth more or less than Greenland.

    Russia, the US, and China are all making their moves to define the world for the coming century. World War 2 ended 80+ years ago. It's unfortunately natural for humans to want to fuck shit up again.

  • It makes me sick to think about the US invading Greenland, and Canada is literally unthinkable. But if you believe for a second the US will be made an example of, I'm sorry but you're just mistaken. As much vitriole as we might have toward the current leadership, the US is very strong and very capable, and the rest of the world knows that, and I'm not sure anyone wants to bear the cost of going to war with the US. They'll have to decide if the cost of losing a Greenland, for example, is greater or less than the cost of a potential war with the US. And realistically, it's less. Which is concerning.

  • US Awards Peter Thiel–Backed Nuclear Startup $900 Million

  • Yeah, I have no problem with government investing in industry, I have always liked nuclear. Where my concerns lie is in the obvious cronyism and the myriad government investments that have ended up not bearing fruit for anyone but the rich.

    But this one may be different!

    In a similar vein, I'm a sausage pie guy. Give me some ground sausage on pizza and I'll eat that for life. Anytime I get together with people, there's always the "what toppings" discussion, and people bring their fucking bullshit to the table, and I say get sausage, and people go mehhh mehhh mehhh, and you know what? Everyone eats the goddamn sausage, and were left with olives and mushrooms, and peppers and onions, and fucking Hawaiian.

    So I appreciate it. The classics are classics for a reason.
