This is a bit of an extreme view. Most conservatives do have empathy, though they will prioritize their closed ones with it.

The problem with this specific scenario with the tarrifs is just people being misinformed and buying everything the party tells them, but I wouldn’t blame it on lack of empathy. If they’d actually known what the repercussions would be, I don’t think most of them would have voted for trump.

What? How?

?? Why would I believe that, and why would I even lie about that?

And so, instead of asking yourself questions, you straight up jump to the conclusion you want to hear. This is what I’m criticizing here, and you’re far from the only one acting that way.

Here’s a translated part of the local conservative party’s website:

  Ensure that patients with serious illnesses who are waiting are given priority in getting a family doctor, without depriving other patients of their current services.

  Increase the number of doctors by raising admissions to medical programs and more quickly recognizing foreign diplomas.

  Decentralize hospital management by incorporating contributions from the private sector to tailor measures to the specific needs of each institution.

Now I am by no means saying this is the best way to do it, or that they are actively working on it, but to say they aren’t trying to fix it is just a lie. You didn’t even bother researching it, you immediately assumed the answer you wanted to hear was the correct one.

Both sides are similar in behavior, not in ideology. Right winger’s are treated just as bad here as leftists are treated on truth social. Both sides are somehow convinced their idea is the absolute truth and the other side is the devil itself.

Honestly I’m talking more about the people in the comments than the meme itself.

No, I don’t think kids should be shot, and healthcare should be a thing. But here anyway, the current healthcare system is broken, and some of the conservative ideas are trying to fix it, while the left is fine leaving it half working. While I’m still a leftist, I do recognize their point and am not calling them evil for it…

Lemmy being black or white like always. You can be a leftist, vote for the left and still recognize the flaws in your own parties and the good ideologies in the other…

I swear, the left usually calls itself open-minded, but as soon as someone on the right comes around, instead of trying to convince them with arguments, they are being called straight up evil russian bots. So what do they do, they go back to truth social, where they are well treated, and keep voting conservative.

Modern mineral wool is actually way better than that. I recently bought and installed some that was advertised as “really soft” and without gloves or masks, at the end of the day I couldn’t feel an itch. Of course good airflow during installation always makes a huge difference. I would 100% wear a mask in an attic though.

You probably don’t have a lot of trees or the smell would keep you up at night.

By far the best option. Putting them in bags takes forever, though they can then be reused for compost and the likes.

Not sure what the other commenter is talking about though. Unless they have like a single tree or something, I fail to see how the grass wouldn’t rot. There’s always this one guy in town who doesn’t clean it up and it smells awful down the street.

So do I.

I have no issues with facists fucking off. The problem is most people on lemmy seem to give just about everyone they disagree with a facist tag. Honestly in the US I agree the situation is different, but here in canada, I haven’t heard of anyone dying or being abducted by conservatives.

That’s the problem. You see the other side in a way they themselves really aren’t. When people say the left is just as bad as the right, they don’t mean in opinions and policies, but in behavior, just like you’re doing. They both think themselves as having the moral high ground while the other side is complete and utter evil.

Honestly of all the conservatives I know, I don’t think a single one of them is remotely racist in any way. One in particular is agaisnt talking about lgbt stuff in schools but he also has a trans friend and thinks as long as they’re adults it’s fine. It’s not being evil, it’s having a difference in opinion.

It’s not about tolerance imo, it’s about discussion. You’d be surprised to learn their reasoning if you actually listened to it. You don’t have to agree with it.

Both sides have this problem right now. Both only converse with their own. Why are republicans not changing? Well if their friends, family and everyone they talk to is a republican, they’ll never be exposed to different opinions.

Don’t forget that both sides can have valid policies depending on how you view the world. I’m not taking about trump and whatever you people are doing out there in the US, but in general, conservatism is the idea that people will manage their money, rather than the government.

Look at Quebec for example. A very socialist government. 2 years ago they invested a ton of money into one electric bus company. Well that company failed really bad and while they aren’t completely bankrupt, they aren’t far. It’s easy then to then see why conservatives would want to vote conservative. If their money had stayed in their pocket instead of going to the government, this wouldn’t have happened.

Same thing with health. The public health system is currently clogged up so a lot of people end up having to pay to go to the private sector to actually get cured in time. So conservatives believe this whole system is a huge waste of taxpayer money. Most conservatives I know aren’t agaisnt the government helping with that, but they’d rather the government just pay the invoice after you went to a private clinic, similar to insurance in the states, rather than try to control a system that clearly isn’t working.

The lemmy community is a very specific subset of reddit’s. Reddit has a somewhat more diverse set of opinions and interests. Despite lemmy not having a specific algorithm, it ends up being an echo chamber nonetheless, a bit more than reddit imo.

That and of course the fact that if you remove political content and tech/linux, there is hardly anything left.

I used to like it, but more recently I’ve tried other brands and now tabasco just tastes bland in comparison. Last I bought it, I had to empty half the bottle in the dish and didn’t even taste it. I know they have different hotness scales, not sure if the one I bought was the hottest out there, but it was the hottest they had at the store.

That’s straight up not true. It’s not even remotely close to that.

If you’re getting a segfault in C++, it’s also cause you used unsafe code. It’s just not officially enclosed in an “unsafe” block.

The whole point of a segfault is that you can’t really know anything about it. Even in rust, when you get a segfault there is no meaningful error.
