Clowns to the left of me. Jokers to the right.

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

  • Why is electricity not part of the classical alchemical elements? (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water)

    Jump

  • The problem is heat energy/fire would kinda get all the cool shit. Like lava was given to the earth benders in LoK and I always felt that didn't make as much sense as fire benders having access to it.

    Air, water and earth all just have the one thing that really makes much sense. Water can do ice and stuff since that's just a phase change for the element they control but what do earth and air get?

  • Same way you can buy a car and it can be remotely disabled by the company that made the car if they want to.

    Always online always connected products are never truly 100% yours to own and do with what you please.

    This is why the early 2000s Honda Civic will continue to be the pinnical of cheap transportation until the end of time

  • Good. Fuck him and fuck that overvalued shitty car company.

  • Electricity is pretty much just very directed fire if you think about it in a sorta abstract way.

    Thats why ATLA was objectively correct that fire benders could also handle lightning.

  • Whenever I want to listen to someone eloquently rant about basic home appliances and the science behind how they function he is my favorite guy to listen to.

    His personal hunt for the right "feeling" led Christmas lights I totally connected with. I miss the warm glow of the older energy wasting bulbs but the LED ones always looked/felt wrong. He pointed me towards a brand that does a pretty damn good job of replicating the color temperature of the old style colored string lights without the energy costs.

  • I'm not conservative at all lmao. Y'all kill me with that shit.

    Holding the opinion that biological women and trans women are not the same and shouldn't be treated as such just means I have eyeballs and a functioning brain. I don't think they deserve any hatred or attacks. I simply don't think they should be playing sports along side biological women because they are not physically the same as biological women. I think trans people deserve as much love and respect anybody else. I just do not subscribe to your delusional world where they are also 100% exactly the same as their bilogical mirror. There are differences and no matter what you say it won't change those facts.

    I don't agree with you on all things but I know you are well intentioned so I could happily co-exist with you.

    I'm just guessing here (feel free to correct me) that because of my opinions on this topic you would not wish to associate with me whatsoever and you probably think I am evil right?

    That is the difference I am talking about.

  • This was how I felt when the post about the PS2 turning 25 came by a few days ago. What the fuck happened.

    Why is everything worse now lol

    Jump

  • Yes I've gone over this with various users on here already. You have me tagged as a Republican or whatever, but every single time anyone has asked me about specific stances they find that I am not.

    This is exactly the type of shit I am talking about. The modern left only accepts people who agree with them on all things and think exactly like them. Any slight deviation is viewed as a threat and shoved forcefully away.

  • Tim Walz says he and Harris were too ‘safe’ during 2024 presidential campaign

    Jump

  • No. I'm pointing out how disconnected from reality the far left (Lemmy) is.

    Of the two political parties of the US right now only one is going to kick you out immediately for disagreeing with them on certain things. The other one doesn't really care if you have different opinions on certain topics.

    The Ideological homogeneity required by today's left/democrats pushes out so many people that I don't think they will be able to win another election again.

    I want the Democrats to have viable candidates and run on good policy again, but more than anything I want them to shed this inflexible and dogmatic voter base they have been fostering over the last 16 years.

  • Yeah keep that up. I'm sure you guys are totally gonna win in 2028 by continuing to alienate anyone who doesn't agree with you 100% across the board.

    Fucking progressives.

  • I'm not talking about a global scale. I'm just talking about the US and how those terms are used here.

    I'm not touching that broader conversation about political scales globally.

    Here in the US both parties have been running in opposite directions and in most people's eyes the left has been running faster. Hence the article. One of many that found similar data when polling americans. Most Americans are somewhere in the middle and that is crux of the issue.

  • My political stances didn't change. I was firmly left in ~2012 and now you guys call me right wing. Who moved?

  • See that's funny because every single left leaning moderate I know (including myself) thinks they were/are way too left and they need to "come back towards center" so to speak.

    For people even sorta in the middle both parties appear to be playing a game where they sprint as fast as they can towards extremism and most people aren't down with that.

    They don't need to try and court moderate Republicans. They need to gain back the moderate lefties they lost over the last 10+ years.

    I know that Lemmy has very different views on the topic, but you guys are the extreme left. So of course you find the Democrats trying to go back towards getting moderate vote again as the "wrong move". Unfortunately you guys (I am speaking broadly at the general political leanings of Lemmy I know you guys arent all far left) are the minority of the total political spectrum these days.

  • Tesla’s stock is plummeting. So is the Bay Area’s respect for its vehicles

  • Yes thank you I am aware how stereotypes work. It's not all of them but it's enough that people noticed a pattern.

  • They absolutely are primarily driven by high earning tech immigrants in my area.

    My Asian buddy got one a couple years ago and he was a fucking terrible driver in his Camry (every single panel had dings and scrapes) I cannot fathom the damage he's been doing with his Tesla.

  • And yet. I drive past hundreds of Tesla's every morning and afternoon during my commute. Yesterday I saw 5 white model S in a row in the lane next to me.

    Regardless of the whole Elon thing the drivers of Teslas are DOGSHIT.

    Some of the fastest production vehicles ever made but the drivers are inept blind morons almost every time. The will pull out in front of you and then not speed up. They will block intersections during traffic because God forbid they miss one light cycle.

    I've seen people making food with a tray attached to their steering wheel and on their phone using autopilot.

    I hate Tesla drivers so much.

  • I mean all of my family and friends are here.

    Other than like great great grandparents that own rural bakeries and are like 107 nobody is in Germany.

    If shit really hits the fan we might dip. My little sister is thinking about going there for college but she's not comfortable with the amount of German she knows. She's conversationally sufficient but she doesn't speak it well enough for academic purposes according to my mother.

    I have no idea because my mom didn't teach me or my older brother any German lol.
