imaqtpie, to asklemmy in Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics?

I think we are just saying that whatever generic, non offensive form of media that you consume is also biased in ways that you can’t quite perceive. You’ve encountered some alternative narratives on Lemmy and you regard them as biased without necessarily making the connection that your own news outlets and views are equally biased. It’s easy to see bias in others but hard to see in yourself

What is the news? How can you arrive at a definition of what constitutes the news without introducing bias?

imaqtpie, to asklemmy in Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement?

Oh shit, my bad. I'm almost certain it's because we are on lemmy.ml, this server has been having issues. Sometimes my comments don't show up for hours.

Your other comment still appears for me now, undeleted with 3 upvotes. But if I go to feddit.de I can see it's been deleted.

I should have just let you handle it, woops.

I wonder if you can see my other comment on this thread where I uploaded the video itself? Maybe that hasn't loaded for everyone yet, although it was posted over an hour ago

Please delete this duplicate response, it's very long and makes it harder to scroll the thread/see my comment. I don't mean to be rude.

You don't need to be one of the 1st or 2nd level replies over here to avoid being buried.

True, I can’t disagree with that. It’d at least solve the problem of the legality of recreational cannabis, which is a pretty damn big one, if you ask me.

Speaking of cannabis, I almost didn’t notice before I replied but I just realized you said it “would solve more problems than it fixes”. Sounds like a win-win 😅

Lmao well said

imaqtpie, to asklemmy in What are your favorite "ugly" games?
@imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works avatar

It does have a certain charm. I never really played that much tbh, my favorite part was reading the sagas of fortresses on the forums. Those were always so unpredictable and hilarious.

I am not some teacher grading essays and giving points for good structure.

That’s exactly my point. You are not the ultimate judge of what is good and what is bad. I’m not telling you to upvote things you disagree with, I’m simply telling you to not downvote unless it’s clearly not relevant.

All of your comments on this thread are good comments that I disagree with. Sometimes, disagreement leads to growth.

I dont use that community so I haven’t seen that.

Maybe try worldnews@sh.itjust.works instead.

imaqtpie, to asklemmy in What is the craziest thing that's ever happened in your life?

Envelopes of $100 bills 🤷 Human affection

I think you made the right choice 😅

Late 80s New York crime rates were pretty brutal. The city and music scene were definitely more vibrant and less sanitized compared with today though, so I feel you

I totally agree, the way the senate and the electoral college works is fucked up right now

imaqtpie, to asklemmy in People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?
@imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works avatar

You turn the fan off during the day and on at night, I assume

Totally agree. I’m just trying to brainstorm possible issues that may crop up in the future. Many times, the solution to a problem simply introduces a different problem.

Although as I’m considering it, the ease of making alts on this platform mitigates any potential issues, because the whole thing can be sidestepped by downvoting with an alt.

Overall, probably couldn’t hurt to bring that functionality to Lemmy and see how it goes.
