shinigamiookamiryuu, in What current U.S presidential candidates are most in favor of legalizing pot?

We haven’t seen all the upcoming candidates yet, but when in doubt, vote Libertarian.

phillaholic,

Name one time a Libertarian accomplished something.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I meant vote Libertarian in the context of the issue OP cares about, I didn’t mean I advocated Libertarians. Jesus guys, anyone here have any respect for individualistic self-determination in democracy?

yuknowhokat,

Isn’t individualistic self-determination functionally not democracy?

NoIWontPickaName,

No.

Being in charge of yourself isn’t anti-democratic unless you take it to one hell of an extreme.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

No, because that’s the whole point of everyone having their own vote.

I mean Ayn Rand had some things published. 🤷🏻‍♂️

DeathWearsANecktie, in What current U.S presidential candidates are most in favor of legalizing pot?

Isn’t it usually the Libertarians?

don,

tarries use weed as a trap to draw you in, don’t be fooled

DeathWearsANecktie,

Worry not, I can see right through the bullshit. And I’m not American anyway so there’s that too xD

PapaStevesy,

Lol, we already have Libertarian weed, it’s called the black market. I’d honestly prefer to go to a legal, local business and pay the taxes, at least my consumption would actually help my community then.

quindraco,

No. The Libertarian party is the least coherent of the four, and you can’t count on any consistency in their platform. They seem to do zero policing of their candidates’ attitudes.

Thranduil, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

I would argue im still using a dumb phone because it sure aint smart

AngryDemonoid, in How would you go about a low maintenance personal website today?

Another vote for a static site generator. I use Publii on Cloudflare Pages. I switched from Wordpress, and I find the maintenance significantly easier.

Is Nokia 5230 a smartphone? It didn’t feel very smart

Karyoplasma, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

Sony-Ericsson J110i. Still have it somewhere.

norealme, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

I miss my nokia n80. It was not too dumb.

jeena, in Lemmy reboot frequency
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

Only on upgrades normally.

BlackEco,

I second that. I want to add that you might miss new posts and comments while your instance reboots, you want to keep reboots to a minimum.

jeena,
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

Really? No, I think the other instances will retry a couple of times to deliver posts.

Well, I honestly don’t know, maybe you’re right

Marin_Rider, in How would you explain Lemmy/Kbin to a Reddit person or to a social media person?

more toxic than reddit these days and that’s saying something.

frankly I’m tired of even mundane, apolitical comments resulting in angry rage filled replies. not as nice a place it used to be

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

Peculiar.
I don't see this behavior.

Are you referring to a news or a politic community?

Marin_Rider,

almost any community really if it’s on world. I prefer stick to my home instance

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

Peculiar.

I am subscribed to some .world's but I don't recall such behavior.

sanitetah, in Mechanics, does my car's spare tire age out?

Yes.

LegionEris, in How would you explain Lemmy/Kbin to a Reddit person or to a social media person?

It’s a federated reddit alternative. The most I’ve ever had to elaborate is to clarify that “federated” basically means “decentralized.” I’ve never tried to explain it to someone who can’t figure it out from that.

altima_neo,
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

The federated part is what confused me the most when I was looking into making the switch.

The ideology behind it is simple, but the term “federated” made it sound like some government thing.

sour,
@sour@kbin.social avatar

federations are decentralized

cheese_greater, in Those of you who work 8+ hours outside in the cold regularly, how do you dress for the job?

How do folks deal with needing to use their fingers for fine motor tasks outside in the cold mitigate the potential damage to nerves and shit?

EvilEyedPanda, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

Dude I loved my Envy 2, played so much Tetris in the bathroom at work!

Auduras, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

I had an LG VX4500. Loved that phone and still have it sitting somewhere in a drawer today.

I’ll charge up old phones from time to time to read old text messages.

zeekaran, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

Smart watch. Great for notifications and telling me if I need to pull my phone out and reply or not, whether mid conversation, driving, cooking, etc. Also fitness tracker so I don’t need my phone on a run.

I would never wear a dumb watch. I need my watch to do more than tell time.
