  • The way I see it is that he's selling himself to a bunch of rubes as the one who is looking out for the little guy. Which is absurd, but the idea that Harris may have had a service job at some point, showing that she actually comes from being one of the regular joes, that really calls into question who actually understands them better. So of course he has to lie and say it didn't happen.

  • It was a campaign stunt to poke fun at Harris and to make him appear more "one of the regular joes." If you think that making it look like he could get a job at McDonald's after his presidency would somehow prove to voters he is fit for the office... Dear God political analysis is not for you.

  • I'm with you on "fuck McDonalds" but this is an incredibly dumb gotcha. They're dumb enough, let's not try to out stupid them.

  • You know you're reading a quality publication when they use an exclamation mark at least once per paragraph.

  • Read the article. It's a light hearted way of telling you you can only stop there for a short time to drop someone off.

  • It's shocking to me when people say that reddit moderators are more overbearing than here. They'll literally ban you for how you vote here. Lol

  • Read the post?

  • Where on reddit was as bad as .ml? Other than maybe the Donald or conservative?

  • Agreed. It could absolutely be that this person just likes to complain. But this whole "talking about banning things you don't thing belong in this community is really just talking about it too" is a ridiculous "gotcha."

  • It's a meta discussion about the direction they want the sub to take.

    Sitting down and discussing something that you don't like, so you can avoid it more in the future, is not the contradiction so many people in this sub seem desperate to make it.

  • You're getting played by this misleading article. There is no evidence that anyone didn't sign the card because they didn't like her. If you follow the link to the actual article, there were two other people who didn't get cards either for the same reason. It's not in that articles, but I read elsewhere that because this happened during COVID it was just difficult to get people to sign them.

    The woman sounds like a dope, but most people are kind and would sign the card anyway. Most people aren't looking to get petty revenge against people they don't even know that well.

  • Yes, noone who has read anything has ever made a mistake in their interpretation.

  • The only authority cited in the article for this autism diagnosis is the judge.

    And precisely zero that indicated the judge came to this conclusion themselves. It's doesn't make sense to assume that the judge would come to this conclusion themselves, so blaming the article for leaping to that conclusion doesn't make much sense.

  • I don't get why this is sloppy. They didn't say he diagnosed him with autism, only that he said he experiences it.

    You jumped to conclusions and are trying to blame them. I certainly did not interpret it the same way you did.

  • Yup, that's exactly right. On Lemmy you don't even have to log out, blocking someone simply means you can't see their posts. If you don't want a harasser or stalker to see something, and you post it publicly, you're an idiot.

    And this is the way it should be... You shouldn't be able to silence someone from responding to stuff you say publicly by blocking them.

  • "doing real labor" "easy, sweatless, office job" "the actual wheel turners"

    "I dislike the condescending attitude"

    It never ceases to amaze me how often people see and hate shit in other people that they epitomize themselves.

    And honestly, my experience has been the opposite and I see the condescending attitude, at least more openly, coming from blue collar workers more often.

  • Not interested in the format even when it was still Twitter.

    But "go away" is a good counter and you've got me convinced. You're truly adding to the high level discourse here.

  • it’s more evidence that X caters more to the blockees than the blockers.

    I'm not sure I agree. However, even if it's true, I'm not sure it's such a bad thing. If you're saying something in public and I'm not even allowed to hear it, let alone respond to it, because you blocked me, you have an effective tool to shut down any dissent. This is what I saw on reddit all the time, there were posters who would block anyone who disagreed with them and so the comments sections on their posts would become very skewed.

    And just the other day, I said that David Duke endorsing Jill Stein doesn't mean Jill Stein approves of David Duke or anything he stands for. Someone accused me of defending David Duke, and when I pointed out that his was fantasy, they blocked me. So I see people blocking for bullshit reasons all the time.

    Lemmy is much the same, even less restrictive because you don't even have to log in to see anything. It's better this way.
