I’m glad Lindsey Graham is dead. I’m sure Mitch McConnell will be next soon. It bugs me to no end that there is no karma and no justice for the horrors that these guys have contributed to the world. Fuck them and that all the ones coming after them.

The truth is, nobody is normal once you get to know them.

They make/made their money off of us. Don’t let them just leave with it.

Honestly, to me it feels more insular than Reddit. It feels like there’s no room for nuance in opinion. So for example, if I argue against something that isn’t a hard left economic idea I’ll get down voted pretty heavily even though it’s a pretty tame comment. It does feel like if you go against the grain here, it’s actually worse than that other site.

On Reddit if I posted something against the grain there would usually be one or two people who would chime in and say “yeah. I agree with this guy.” … But on Lemmy there’s no room for that.

For me it was fish. When I grew up we didn’t eat out often and when we did I never had fish. The fish my mom cooked at home was few and far between and it wasn’t very good in my opinion.

Up through college I would have said I didn’t like fish, but when I started working I went out some work dinners where the company was paying for it at upscale restaurants. The first few times I ordered steak, but I got old so I decided to try the fish dish. I still remember it, 30 years later, that I had a fish with nuts on top that was just awesome. After that when I went into fancier restaurants I tried to find a fish as good as that. And the fish weren’t good, but some of the fish were awesome, and I really found I liked fish if it was prepared right.

Oh that’s funny, I thought this was a joke about the Titanic… Probably because I pictured it going from Europe to the US.

It was religion. Religion wanted to control sex. Think of the power this gives them. When you can have sex, with who you can have sex, how you have sex… They decided they wanted to control your life through sex (and social life too).

This is the reason why they were/are all so anti gay. Get people having sex all the time, they can’t have that! Also abortion. People having sex out of wedlock and not getting “punished” with an unwanted child? Sooo scary for them. Masturbation and pornography also, same thing. They want to get all up in your business. They want to control sex and it’s the power that gives them.

Marriage is the church’s way of giving you permission to have sex.

Sorry, my statement was in regards to cars i can own myself, not “robo taxies”.

Ok, I fucking hate Elon and I will never buy any products that he makes, however Tesla’s full self driving appears to be the best in the market right now by a decent margin.

I like Tesla BTW and I’m squarely in their target demographic, but I hate that nazi more.

Who else has good self driving that is close to what Tesla has right now? (Asking in case there is something good I should be looking at buying)

Holy shit! Who would have thought the bots would be downloading that much of porn?

These tweets are just saying they got banned. I was referring to the actual tweet that got them banned. What did they say, and was it actually offensive, or was it just anti-israel and anti-IDF?

I’ve listened to Cenk many times and he has never been anti-jewish, only anti-israel and anti-idf. Both of those takes I think are totally justified, but I’m still curious what someone else judged to be so bad that their Visa was revoked.

What did they say? I hate news that describes that somebody did such and such bad and therefore consequence, but they don’t actually say what they said so you can’t judge for yourself whether it was legitimate or bullshit.

The reality is people get laid off or fired for all sorts of reasons. This is the IT equivalent of setting fire to the equipment that you used to build something and the production prototype and walking out the door thinking you can just just leave and get away with it.

In this guy’s fantasy he would be doing 10 to 20 years of prison time if he gets caught and charged with both state and federal crimes. And let’s be real, he’ll definitely get caught.

Sorry man, this isn’t burning Bridges to the guy is talking about, this is ending up in jail. If you want to burn Bridges, yell and scream on your way out the door and say “fuck you everyone!”. What this guy is fantasizing about doing is 10+ years in prison and both state and federal felony charges. “Burning bridges” would not really be his primary concern.

I think you give too much credit to people who say “ban Muslims”. They’re usually not that logical.

As an atheist, I never bring up my beliefs unless asked. My religious friends and relatives on social media spout their shit non-stop. If I did 1/10th of that they’d be up in arms.

This post just seems like a straw man to try and keep atheists invisible.

For me it was politics, it was all about politics. I couldn’t believe the 60% of our country were blood thirsty pro-war fanatics who salivated at the chance to torture our enemies. Selfish old people. Vile religious fanatics. Hate fueled nuts. This is who we live with, this is the other half of society. It’s depressing when you go from thinking “we just have an honest difference in opinion on what the government should do” to “holy shit these people are evil!”.

I think that’s really when you’re raising your kids (hopefully in your 30s). That’s when you look back and say “this isn’t so hard, wtf were they doing?” “How could they have done that to their kid?” and you can’t believe anyone ever thought that was ok. When you haven’t been a parent you’re more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but once you are that goes away.

That’s the perfect place for government regulation. Start a tiered approach where larger apartment complexes have to electrify a certain percentage of there parking spaces. Every year make the size of the apartment building that has to do this shrink and increase the percentage of parking spaces that require electrification. Also make it a requirement that these electrified spots can’t be more than x dollars per kilowatt hour or have them tied to the owner’s electrical usage.

There are a lot of ways you can do this, but this is really something that needs to be done through the government for it to happen for low-cost apartments.
