I have gotten banned from .ml twice for merely stating that Russia shot down a civilian airliner in Ukraine.

Hell is other people.

Why would I want to meet new people?

I’m sure you understand this, but for others who don’t, the narratives around immigration in right wing media are pretty dishonest and manipulative, which is why many people are instinctively suspicious of the entire conversation.

The reality is that every immigrant in the US, illegal or otherwise, actually contributes positively to GDP. The actual negative consequences of immigration are, in many ways, imposed by the regulation framework. If the US allowed every person to cross the border access to a legal path to citizenship, it would arguably fix almost every single issue which is associated with a large population of people who live outside the law. It would largely incentivize good behavior and cultural integration while reducing the economic forces which push people towards criminal activity.

“The left” on Lemmy is unfortunately dominated by an extremely rigid and pretty outdated brand of Marxist-Leninism which tends to reject nuance and compromise in order to “protect” their extreme and reactionary stances on a number of issues. These types run some of the biggest news and politics communities and swing the ban hammer very freely.

Without getting too into the political science weeds, more contemporary views on leftist philosophy essentially holds that every anti-capitalist framework kind of boils down to various degrees of harm reduction within various material scarcity models. MLs don’t like this because it pokes a lot of holes in their revolution fetish and denies them the fan service they crave. This is why they almost seem to hate liberals and centrists more than actual fascists and right wingers. Because the right gives them purpose, righteousness and validation, whereas liberals give them difficult questions.

Reddit clearly spends like $6 per year on feature engineering so this would require around one millennia to implement.

Someone is having a chuckle

I didn’t downvote you, but I also use the term pseudonymous for a reason

This is not true, the piefed admin implemented pseudonymous voting agents in around 48 hours

My votes on piefed are not public. This dev took the obvious idea of a dedicated voting agent and implemented it in about 48 hours.

Lmao, the dev instance is literally one of the most censored places on the internet.

Violent crime in rural areas is dramatically underreported because cops don’t even take reports for domestic violence unless it requires an ambulance ride.

What if the guy on the roof had blanks, and the shooter who hit people in the crowd was on some sort of grassy… hill. Like a slightly elevated section of turf… I’m sure there is word for it.

Yes, scrolling on a PC should always interact with the scroll bars. There is nothing natural about trying to duplicate touch screen zero order scrolling, and if I’m honest the term feels intentionally confrontational for no reason.

20 per day, certainly he had more than 20 interactions per day

Start by becoming an area matter expert, otherwise you two just have different opinions

By not having kids

Who saw this coming?
