If Lemmy ever does have ads, I will tell everyone to avoid the platform like the plague. No ads. Ever. If your instance is too big to run on donations alone, it’s too big to exist and its members need to branch out.
Future platforms need to be programmed with a max number of users.
I don’t get the domestic abuse connection everyone is making. I thought it implied the woman was just going to walk out on him. After the PS5 starts blasting, you’d hear the rustle of her packing her luggage in their now former bedroom. Maybe she’ll leave the wedding ring on the dining room table.
You’re not supposed to memorize the formulas, you’re supposed to draw it out on a graph from which the formula is derived.
It’s literally just a basic linear graph like from Algebra class. You can just trace your finger along the line and find the right temperature, no Egyptian hieroglyphics required.
Bro, it literally doesn’t matter because both MAGA and the ruling class are the two major hurdles for the left.
Take the ruling class out and the left and the right will still go to war against each other.
It’s not the ruling class making them fight. They’re choosing to fight with each other, and scapegoating the situation on the ruling class is a factually incorrect thing to do.
Honestly, I used to feel the same way until I saw what MAGA and the right are really about – genocide, and because of that, it’s impossible for the U.S. left and right to reconcile.
Like I get why people want that – we really should just be Americans again – but the things the factions have done to each other, from the left supporting and helping the ruling class impose the lockdowns on everyone else which destabilized the U.S., to the centuries of racism and abuse the right and their ancestors have inflicted on everyone else, are too severe and too reprehensible for the sides to ethically reconcile.
It’d be better if the left pushed to form an independent country, honestly. They almost did when western states threatened to secede from the U.S. because Trump wasn’t enforcing the lockdowns to the left’s liking. They could wield that power and do it again, and they’d be able to form a military and keep the MAGA cultists away from them, and if the right tries to commit genocide anyway, fight back.
Doing that would also really, really fuck over the ruling class as most of their assets are in U.S. stocks, bonds and dollars which would collapse from such a thing happening, given there’d be no more U.S.
That’s just how I feel on the matter given everything I’ve seen in my life, which is a lot. A lot more than anyone should fairly have to.
It’s not about them though, it’s about you, and you can’t expect science enthusiasts to submit to the will of ignorant bullies and hide who they are and what they care about to appease other people.
In fact, people like you have fallen for the ruse that science has to submit to ignorant people in hopes of convincing them to not be ignorant, and you can’t see how deeply you’ve been manipulated. It’s a power play. They do it to emotionally blackmail you into not correcting them so they can have power over the conversation.
I’ll take being called a know-it-all arrogant ass than allow obviously abusive, manipulative people to push your’s and society’s buttons in an obvious social dominance power play so they can do and say whatever they want without any consequences.
Okay, you’ve got the right spirit. Just wanted to be clear.
Most American intellectuals are beaten down through years of emotional manipulation and abuse they’re never educated on the true nature of, both because most people don’t truly understand it and those that do don’t want others to so they can’t be stopped.
🤔 This is honestly evidence that the universe is mathematical, that the shapes of trees and mountains are formed under similar mathematical rules despite being different sizes and materials.
Like galaxy formation and brain cells also look similar and that’s ostensibly the reason why so it stands to reason why this would be a thing.
That’s why respecting the opinions of others is so dangerous. No one is entitled to their own facts in this world and until other people are held responsible for believing provably incorrect things, nothing will change.
Wow, a pile of insults hiding a weak counterargument, color me surprised.
You know a population organized enough to overthrow the U.S. government will simply overthrow evil corporations too, right? You did consider that, did you?
After all, if you think you’re so smart then the American people certainly are smart enough to do so.
And your response is to quibble about what “a pile of insults” means so you don’t have to address what I or anyone else is asking you at all.
We’re gonna try this again. Did you consider the fact that an armed, organized second American revolution can topple evil corporations as well as it could the U.S. government, if one existed? Yes or no
Okay, that’s a good start. Now, do you realize the continental government faced similar problems and yet still managed to forge a new nation into being, and that it can be done again? Yes or no
Water treatment plants are run at the state and local level and would be far easier for a new government to be secure than a national system like you seem to think we have. You know how water treatment plants work, don’t you? That’s scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to dismissing something as vitally important to human freedom as revolution.
Then you can sit there and pout while the rest of us move on without you. 🤷 Not my problem you don’t care about your own people or the future of your own country and it’s not going to be my problem.
