For serious comments, my true audience is the unknown reader. For jokes, my audience is myself alone.

Lemmy dev suggestions: Remove all downvotes. User blocks should keep the blockee from seeing the blocker.

  • Not a single pixel. The code, however...

  • As you say, tools are just tools. Even a dumb phone and CD players are "technology." You can use a hammer to build a house, or you can use it to break into a house and kill the owner. The tool itself really doesn't hold any sin.

    Some people prefer to use older tools, though. It often gives them more of a feeling of connection, especially if we're talking about the things they grew up with. So, there's nothing wrong with choosing older technology just because you feel like it, either.

  • This is like when there are two really bad gangs who decide to kill each other.

  • If there were any justice, they'd impeach and convict Trump for raping a child. And that would be the only thing non-historians would know about him in the future. That he was a pedophile who was removed from office when they learned that he had raped young children in the past.

  • That is still sad. Just a different kind of sad.

  • It's really telling that he has so much money that he can do pretty much whatever he wants for the rest of his life, and he chooses to publicly shit on the poorest people in the world.

    Like, he could alternatively choose to say nothing, and just quietly ruin everything behind the scenes while impregnating as many women as he is capable of, but that doesn't work for him.

  • What's really sad is all of the other people there who didn't heckle Trump.

  • 100% agreed. A Reddit clone with Reddit amounts of users will end up almost as bad as Reddit. The thing that makes Reddit worse in that situation is that they are a public company.

    This platform would have to evolve a lot before it can deal with so many users. There has to be some significant innovation and improvement in moderation and administration, or more users would inevitably lead to endemic misinformation and power tripping and all of that shit you see on Reddit.

  • Stupid may not be the right word. I used to listen to his podcast occasionally, and he's certainly... What's the right term? "slow witted"?

    Like, he seems like he has trouble keeping up. Maybe it's the weed he's smoking.

    He also doesn't completely lack introspection, but his introspection seems unbelievably shallow. He's basically just afraid that other people might judge him not to be manly. He's scared of not being seen as manly, which is ironically pathetic and weak. But he's demonstrated it repeatedly.

    So, these things together might work to the same end of having him.... and I'm going to use maybe the wrong word again... be so stupid that he doesn't realize how much of a Nazi he's become. He talks with anybody, and the bad actors he talks to lead him around by the nose, and he lacks the tools to analyze how that has affected him.

  • The meme is specifically about cities, so when you said "thinly populated," that should have been about thinly populated areas of cities.

    If you're actually talking about rural areas and not cities, then you'd want to start with buses. Speaking of living in places with good public transit, I used to live in Japan, and I was surprised by how much buses get used in rural areas. They can get pretty full.

  • My sometimes evangelical, sometimes pentecostal aunt, who is in her mid 70s, says that she truly believes that the rapture will happen in her lifetime.

    I think that is why she's always so excited about wars and how she supports Trump even though he ticks so many "Antichrist" boxes. Because all of that stuff proves to her that we're in the end times and that she'll be raptured in her lifetime.

    If we don't hurry up and end the world, then that would mean that she might die, just as if she's not the most important person in history, which doesn't make any sense to her.

  • Rogan is a Nazi sympathizer and collaborator. Of course it will be hard for him to say anything against the man right now. Plus, with Rogan, it's always a possibility that he's just so stupid that he doesn't realize how far he's already gone and how much he's been manipulated.

  • That's weird. I thought it was everyone driving their own cars all the time that was a huge waste of resources.

  • He can be sued regardless. The bar for filing a lawsuit is very low.

    But because Trump is a celebrity and a politician, the bar for him winning a lawsuit is supposed to be higher than for a normal person. Meaning that Trump should lose the lawsuit, pretty much regardless of what that guy said.

  • Trump is so old and unhealthy that it wouldn't be surprising if he just keeled over and died of natural causes at any point.

    It's pretty obvious that Trump believes that he's going to live for a long time and that he'll remain in control as president or whatever for all of that time. You don't build a ballroom if you think you'll be out in three years.

    Vance is like a vulture, circling around waiting for Trump to die so he can swoop in. His best case scenario is that Trump becomes a dictator and he succeeds him. So, Vance will say and do anything right now.

  • Sounds like a good way to enhance your critical thinking skills. Something we humans direly need today.

  • The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is whatever let people like Musk attain great wealth and a platform, despite their incredible bias and incompetence.
