  • First, A lot of the far-left authoritarian users are in other instances, like lemmy.ml. Those communities are easy to avoid and users from there easily identified.

    Second, I can only guess you’re talking about Harris when speaking “a communist and a known war monger”. Speaking as a former libertarian Republican (who left the party when Trump took over), Harris isn’t communist or far left. That’s 100% right-wing propaganda. America’s Democratic party is pretty conservative compared to liberal and leftist parties in Europe and isn’t that much to the left of the pre-Trump Republican party.

    As for the known warmonger, I have no idea what you’re talking about.





  • If people want this to be acted on, then Dems need to win.

    Oh, absolutely.

    Both to campaign on and to act on, unfortunately.

    I think there’s a big difference between them making the small (but good) progress with legislation they’ve done this term compared to making climate a part of their campaign and bringing it up all the time. Idiots on the right will attack opponents on anything, but currently, I imagine most of the population is put off by the “she’s gonna ban ur meat and stove!!1” weirdos. Sometimes not engaging is the most effective way to keep bad arguments out of the public sphere.



  • I’m convinced our media is hell-bent on promoting Trump at any opportunity.

    I feel like Trump could do anything on that stage and the story pushed out by the media will be some weird criticism about how disappointing Harris’ performance was.

    Like, Trump could answer every single question with a rant about how cheeseburgers just aren’t as good as they used to be and no-one would bat an eye. Then the story for weeks will be about how “Harris just wasn’t detailed enough about how her economic policies. She didn’t even mention how the Distiller’s Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS)/cash corn ratio would change per week over the next decade or two. Harris clearly is too light on the policy front.”

    I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve come to expect the worst from our media lately.




  • I’m one that finds the GNU/Linux naming annoying. I think calling it that is mostly silly, and am mostly annoyed at people who militantly argue it’s the only way to describe a Linux OS (which aren’t as common as they used to be).

    To me, it’s just overly verbose and pointless. For the most part, the GNU part has been implied for pretty much any mainstream form of Linux for decades. And even if it wasn’t, who cares? Like, you wouldn’t say that you run KDE/X11/wpasupplicant/neovim/docker/pacman/paru/systemd/GNU/Linux… Just saying KDE on Arch Linux is simpler and far more informative.


  • It’s not even an inconvenience. Raw milk is harder to get, more expensive, and doesn’t keep as long. And it’s the sort of thing you have to actively look for to find it.

    The thing I can’t figure out is where these dumb opinions and attitudes are coming from and why is it getting worse? I can’t go on social media without coming across something insanely stupid within a few minutes (like, I just saw a pro-raw milk post this morning on Facebook). But it’s not just online - I’m seeing more and more “normal” people I know just adopt patently false ideas.

    Like, what’s happening to our society that people are just not using critical thinking anymore?
