This post makes a sweeping assumption Linux users would have women flirt with them.

Staying home is a goofy waste of your only real voice as a citizen. Voting third party is fine, and the people acting like they’re forcing you at gun point to vote for Biden “or else” are little better than the fascists they say they’re against

I mean… it’s pretty objectively genocide.

You can argue trump would genocide worse. But it’s still happening

No I stand by my statement lol

I think you might be an idiot my man.

You’re going to have to tell me what oligarchs own NPR, C-span, and the associated press

None of your independent journalists / investigators are independent.

You can literally just read news from less overtly biased news sources. There are scant few articles that I can think of where I really need a redditors interpretation of it

Actually it’s really not at all. You’re probably just thinking about Reddit/lemmy/twitter posts when you write that.

Go on like NPR or C Span and actually read the news. It’s fine.

It’s actually crazy how low the percentage of people under like… forty is now that actually gets their news direct from a news site. Seriously, i don’t know a single person from like 20-35 who actually just goes on the NPR or C-SPAN app or whatever.

It kind of sucks. So much news is just reading the headline and seeing a photo now. And I just feel like there’s something bad about being able to see a comment section on Twitter or Reddit or even Lemmy now on every news event. Makes for a lot more group think rather than just reading the news and going “huh”

I imagine he might not be the first person who did, the rest are just lost to history due to lack of observable / recorded results.

Earlier generations of people tended to have kind of a general, observation based understanding of that kind of thing where cause and effect was generally observed but people didn’t understand the why of it. People even very early on knew that if you caught a disease once you were less likely to catch it severely again, and they knew that if you quarantined a group of people the disease would eventually “die out”, but they had no real idea as to why in either case.

As a non-shitpost tid bit, this picture is depicting Edward Jenner, who made the first vaccine by inoculating people (first milkmaids, then anyone) against cowpox. Basically just took a scalpel and took some material from the sore on a cow with cowpox and scraped it on people.

Turned out pretty effective - and down the line we have vaccines

Beast, right?

C:TD discourse is so funny. Just apparently like the best game ever made hindered by the fact that no one outside the nerds that other nerds call nerds can be convinced to play as what is essentially a moody fairy navigating fairy politics

And then you have things like Beast: The Primordial, which by all accounts has been actually played less than like 100 times in history just because it immediately came out that it was basically one of the main author’s domination kink made into a game.

I’ve gotten all of my opinions from twitch streamers, and suddenly I’m miserable!

Appreciate this response, it seems to make a lot of sense to me.

I think people on sites like Lemmy and similar can kind of uhh… overestimate how much anyone outside of a very niche crowd care about the whole “federalization” movement, and yeah it seems unlikely to me that Threads is going out of its way to shadowban a (comparatively) niche competitor like Pixelfed

Very interesting. Appreciate the response. Didn’t know big companies like meta had any interest in the whole “federation” gig, seeing that it seems a little “opposed” to the kind of big revenue that supports tech companies like that

I’m kind of stupid and more here just because it tends to be better discussion than Reddit: what does “federate with” mean in this context??

Thanks!

You are STILL looking at the chart of logical fallacies 😂😂😂

You literally do though. You have a post saying you do. What are you talking about???
