mookulator,

Expand and term limit SCOTUS. This system is ridiculous

mookulator,

When somebody powerful does something perplexing, my guess is usually “because money”. Is that the case here? I’m not that informed about how politicians get their money…

mookulator,

I’m not basing my statement (about American sentiment) on what I see on the internet though! The polls and votes seem to support abortion access.

mookulator,

Yeah here’s a take that resonates with my cynicism about Republican politicians. They literally see it as a way to get more numbers in the long run because they know it disproportionally affects poor people (ei forces them to have more kids) and they know they can get those people to vote for them through other manipulation.

Seems like a pretty long con though right? The same cynicism tells me these politicians just care about short term wins.

mookulator,

I’d like you to cite a source to back up that claim.

mookulator,

Wow I’ve never heard of someone wanting to ban a medical procedure all together because they experienced an adverse effect of it. Thanks for the view into a psyche that I didn’t know about.

mookulator,

I’ll say I don’t buy this argument, though that’s just my opinion. I don’t think these politicians care one way or another what happens to people as long as they get more power. I find it far fetched to say they’re seeking power so that they can be cruel.

Cruelty is a means (or side effect), not an end.

mookulator,

Yeah I mean I think most people know that there are negative consequences that can happen, just like with any medical procedure. I’m just surprised by the fact that people might get a medical procedure then want to prevent all future people from getting it because they had a bad experience. Shows what I know about people.

mookulator,

Thanks!

mookulator,

It’d be really nice if they clustered by instance. Then one could theoretically follow all politicians in their favorite party without having to look them up manually.

mookulator,

Is anyone under 40 still on Facebook? I think it’s all old people at this point.

mookulator,

Well would you look at that

mookulator,

The four-color theorem is pretty cool.

You can take any map of anything and color it in using only four colors so that no adjacent “countries” are the same color. Often it can be done with three!

Maybe not the most mind blowing but it’s neat.

mookulator,

Same

mookulator,

Oh but getting sucked into random bullshit is what they want

mookulator,

Expand and term-limit SCOTUS. This system is ridiculous

mookulator,

Surely there is a way to effectively fill vacant government positions.

mookulator,

Judging by how many hours I’ve logged, Civ 6

mookulator,

I guess it depends how much you like your job/employer. It’s clear that the added time with your family is a really high value, which I can strongly relate to.

If you really want to keep the job, maybe when it really comes down to it, you could compromise and do one day /week.

mookulator,

This is the greatest website I’ve seen since zombo.com

mookulator,

You know it’s just bots right?

mookulator,

I’ve seen this comparison many times and it does nothing to help my understanding of the fediverse. I have no idea how email servers work.

mookulator,

That’s kind of the problem I think. I was able to find like 2 people there I want to follow. Lemmy is going to be far more successful at displacing its alternative because all the communities you’d want to subscribe to are here.

mookulator,

No. My other instance is WireBase.org. It’s a smaller one

mookulator,

It’s type 2 fun. You don’t want to do it, but you’re glad you did when you do

mookulator,

Thanks. I think it is possible for users to block communities one at a time! I can do it in Memmy

mookulator,

Can a brother get a tl;dr?

mookulator,

Fake?

mookulator,

Totally. Microblogging (twitter alternatives) have a much harder task because they depend on the right users. Especially famous/influential people. Post aggregators (Reddit alternatives) don’t have that constraint.

mookulator,

It’s funny because Facebook was the original dumpster fire

mookulator,

Should the owners of a community be allowed to close their community? Yes.

Whether you like their reasoning or not, all that happened is they chose to close their community.

mookulator,

This post is about a government contract that is racist in nature. Is that close enough for you?

mookulator,

Ironic that you criticized the comment for hyperbole and then use the straws an fallacy to try to shoot it down. The comment did not claim that all 350 million people are racist. You just acted like it did so you could criticize it.

And yes, the US is an amazing country with far fewer racists than ever before. I agree with you there.

mookulator,

Yeah exactly. With the example I gave, there’s a good amount of content on each, but none of them is so active that I’d want to follow it alone.

mookulator,

The other way to go is to automatically cross-post across federated servers if they have the same community. Why doesn’t it work like that?

mookulator,

I get that. And definitely simpler. But what if a new community pops up? It sounds tedious to keep checking back in the search engine

mookulator,

Yeah the more I hear counter arguments from people on here, the more I think the best solution is for communities to group together and opt in to cross posting with one another. Are you saying thats a flawed idea too?

mookulator,

Lol yeah but we were 12 back then and we still understood the internet better than anyone else 🙃

mookulator,

At least you know the instance host isn’t selling your data right? The advertisers already have it 🤪

mookulator,

Can someone explain why r/privacy is so up in arms about this? Seems fairly obvious that my actions in the public domain are public, but they’re all “Lemmy doesn’t care about your privacy”. Why?

reddit.com/…/warning_lemmy_federated_reddit_clone…

mookulator,

I was kind of joking, but now that I think about it isn’t that better? The problem isn’t really advertisers having your data, it’s companies doing skeezy things to be able to make more money with your data.

This way, instance hosts are free from that incentive and can just focus on making a good website.

mookulator,

This happens to me sometimes too! Very wierd
