Sure, there's always going to be outliers. Most people live and work in the same metropolitan area though - they're not driving 50,000km+ a year. Besides, having a vehicle with 5 times the effective lifetime is going to be a big win regardless of how much you drive it.
Thanks!
I missed the site wide rules.
Yeah, that sort of rule requires a lot of faith in the moderators. Seems like they're probably violating it themselves with their moderation.
Perhaps I don't really understand - looking at the world news community on lemmy.ml rule 1 seems to be about only posting links to news articles. None of the things on the mod log screenshot look like news articles. Isn't this the mods doing their jobs correctly?
The OP's situation seems completely different to this and it's definitely a problem - what am I missing about the rule 1 stuff though?
Can confirm. The rosellas were delightful. The Ibis were pretty awesome as well -such a trashy looking bird. Ours at least hides its shame (kiwi).

You guys should really think about changing your voting system.
Our voting uses something called a Single Transferable Vote. You can rank candidates in order of preference - last place gets eliminated and any votes they got are instead transferred to each voters' next preference. Repeat until there's only one left.
It cuts out most of the stupid games and you get to see people's positions more honestly.
In this case it'd let people vote for an anti genocide candidate and still indicate that they'd prefer Biden over Trump.
We all live in our own little bubbles; they may not be true feminists to you, but they sound quite consistent with the people around me who describe themselves as feminists. A significant portion of feminist activists in my online bubble also seem to subscribe to the same ideas.
I've always heard them described as seagull managers. Screams loudly, shits everywhere, leaves.
Almost entirely digital now. As for why:
- backlight
- font size adjustment
- built in dictionary
- local library closed for a few years
- lighter/better form factor than most books I read
I find I buy far more books now that I have an e-ink reader.
This'll be the real reason.
My comment was just unhelpful and inappropriate - a bad joke aimed at puritanical Americans.
Have you considered moving somewhere that's better aligned with your values? It's not something to undertake lightly, but I know that moving helped me a lot. Totally different situation for me though.
For me it was basically just moving somewhere bigger, even if I didn't get much better at making connections just knowing it was possible made a difference.
Good luck to you.
Sometimes taking what seems like the right stand on an issue can deepen the harm - be careful about getting too extreme.
For example when the whole "gamergate" thing was going on and people were like "Why can't I just enjoy Tomb Raider?" - one side was standing up for diversity and inclusion by denouncing them as basement-dwelling incels who should self-terminate. So that naturally drove some to those right-wing assholes.
Sometimes it takes a bit of work to change someone's context so they can get closer to your perspective.
They're just a consultancy service - hardly worth investigating. Seems that they purport to offer expertise on how a developer can improve diversity and inclusion in their products.
Like any consultancy, whether they can actually do this and whether their clients will actually implement it effectively are another matter entirely.
The Steam group creator seems to think either they're garbage or that their clients' approach to diversity and inclusion is garbage. (Or maybe they're just some alt-right incel Nazi )
And even if you do have the talent internally you can still seek specialised feedback on your work - most authors work with editors for example.
The only reason this case is notable is because of the reactionary response to the "woke" games industry (and games journalism in particular). This is just another round of nonsense in this culture war, so people on either side are staking out ridiculous positions.
Copyright has little to say in regards to training models - it's the published output that matters.
But with copyright you don't get to make that decision, the copyright holder does.

But then of course you'd have to live somewhere that isn't the greatest country in the world.
Yeah, he's maybe taken it a bit far, but his point is still valid. If I'm talking about my experience with abuse it should be allowed to stand alone. I shouldn't have to acknowledge its place in the meta.
It's fine to discuss its place in the wider conversation, but I shouldn't be forced to engage with it when sharing my experience. When people do try to push this it does unfortunately come across as invalidating my experience.
The original commenter posting that bit makes it seem like they're minimising their experience for fear of others' reactions.
