What about food? Or do you only grow your own radishes watered only by the rain and your own piss, like that guy from The Good Place?

I've heard Irish people say they support Palestine for similar reasons. They didn't go through an apartheid, but they went through oppressive colonization being done on them.

Context matters. If she says abortion is bad, it deserves to be reported, and is, while abortion policy is actively being dismantled - because she is a lawmaker in the party actively working towards that (and in power for one of the legislatures).

Just like this guy's words matter while it's being supported by other people like Ben-Givir and while they're actively in the process of doing genocide stuff.

Woah you escalated that quickly. Breathe. You guys were having a reasonable discussion that was enjoyable for me to read until you pulled out the insults and curses for some reason.

Everytime I see it on at the gym I want to tell them to shut that shit off, but I'm always afraid I'll start an argument with some boomer who will say they were watching that lol

I really like Android Auto so I'll probably wait until they at least get that working to change. I wonder if Samsung Pay works on there...

That's Reddit, too. World News there is basically all Israeli propaganda right now. It becomes a lot more diluted with more users.

Honestly, there's a reason hype has died down. The site has all the same problems as other alternatives.

After the initial hype, it's only as big as a reasonably large individual subreddit. In fact, here are the top weekly posts of lemmy's federation partners and T_D's exodus site. The latter edges out the former slightly in upvotes and much more substantially in comments, and it's just a single community. Even in the fairly small category of "biggest extant reddit alternative", lemmy doesn't take first prize.

Same content problem as all the others: roughly half of the posts are politics of a uniform orientation, and the other half are reposted facebook memes.

Reddit's killer app is the presence of a sizable community for every little niche thing, and that's not there. Unless your only interests are politics (within roughly .3 standard deviations of the median Huffpo writer) or Facebook memes, it's not a viable alternative.

Competition: Sure, it's federated in theory, but the block-happy, drama-centric culture means that, if an alternative were to pop up with the userbase of 2012 Reddit (or even 2018 Reddit), it'd get defederated almost immediately. Open federation solves the "dozens of sites competing for the same thousand-or-so people" problem. Closed federation just pretends to do so.

This is basically all the same issue: not enough users. It's so dumb. "Lemmy isn't as good as Reddit because everyone isn't there yet. But ya, Reddit sucks." /face-palm Then come over and get users to come over instead of saying there's not enough people.

When I was leaving Reddit I heard of Kbin (which I do have an account in and still check all the time), raddle.me, Tildes, squabbles, and I think another. So many!

Is Graphene OS good? Any downsides? I need to get a new phone soon.

I love this trend of remaking old games to make them more modern, especially when it's for free and not a cash grab. It used to be that there was basically no way to play old games.

I just downloaded the Kissinger episodes just to learn more about why people hated him. I didn't know it was like 6 parts or something like that. Plus, I'm a fan of The Dollop, who seem to be their first guest for these episodes. I'm so excited!

Same as Trump. Or debates on Fox News. Classic angry right-wing yelling lol.

Top tier edit lol

Godamn you got me lol

I had two gaming groups basically fall apart this year that's ending. I think I can revive one if I replace a problem player. The other should have enough people to schedule something, and yet it hasn't worked out the entire year. I'd like to try to revive one or both if I could.

Also, my goal is to play a game in general. Don't care if it's DnD or whatever. I'll probably get into online gaming just to be able to find a group, or maybe start hitting up my local FLGS. I prefer with friends, but I just miss the hobby right now.

Other goal is to get through and finish reading the non-DnD game books I have, even if I don't get a chance to play them, including Blades in the Dark, PF2E, and the Avatar PBTA game.

Here's one story from last time about them being misled when sent to Martha's Vineyard.

Detailing "how its clients were induced to board airplanes and cross state lines under false pretenses," the legal aid group said that only after the planes landed did the immigrants "learn that the offers of assistance had all been a ruse to exploit them for political purposes."

Basically they were told they were being helped or sent to one place where they have a hearing scheduled, or that their hearing was moved, then they'd be sent to whatever city instead.

Anyone have any idea why there's been so many migrants lately? What's been going on in South America?

In what way did he not do an insurrection? They're just trying to get laws and rulings to apply to Democrats but not Republicans now?

Also didn't help teachers at all. But ya, for all office workers who aren't social and especially for those of us who had a long commute, wfh was a godsend.
