Dems aren’t allowed to say that because they are owned by the very same rich people lol

This is amazing. I’d love to see this. Probably wouldn’t pay, but I’d clap vigorously afterwards.

That is hilarious. I can imagine it with perfect clarity lol

I haven’t seen these posts, either. But I have to ask, are you this person?

I love it!

By that logic, the NY Times should be banned as a source. They’re opinion section is chocked full of basically the pro US point of view and defending Israel (including a memo advocating genocide denial). One-sided coverage, poorly sourced, nakedly biased, it all applies to them, too.

Allowing sources from all points of view, as long as the facts are true, seems better than picking and choosing due to bias. Even these “centrist” institutions have their own biases.

He picks different supreme court justices though and has some different head of agencies, though. That alone makes a big difference.

So is there a point to the Girl Scouts now? What are they going to do? Start accepting boys? Or try to widen their activities to compete with the Boy Scouts so they don’t lose membership?

I need to read that book again. It was scary, but I finished it utterly confused. I clearly missed a ton from the appendices.

Ya but there’s too much. Now we have games getting out half-finished because they know they can patch it later after the public pays full price too beta test it.

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

Judging by all the threads I’ve seen recently about the decreasing active user base of Lemmy, there are lots of people who want more, too. I don’t think any project is going to make Lemmy as big as Twitter or Reddit immediately, so that seems like an unfounded fear. There’s a vast mid area between current Lemmy and peak Twitter, so it doesn’t hurt to at least raise the number of normies here so we can get threads about things other than tech and news. I want to see biologists giving their opinion on a discovered animal, or people who worked on a random movie chiming in with fun facts, the earthquake guy, or the astronomy person, etc.

The variety of people made Reddit fun.

That’s still useful. I found myself lurking a ton of subreddits recently looking for buildapcsales or laptopdeals. Then once I bought them I started lurking threads for people who had similar problems as me setting it up. I still find myself adding Reddit to the front of my Google searches when I want responses or reviews from real people about stuff. I even had to reinstall the Reddit app at some point to look at something, which was annoying, but I wanted the info. I wish I could do that with Lemmy instead.

Even if people aren’t helping op with their issue specifically (and it sounds like the fediverser person is working on fixing that), answering these questions is still helping everyone else who reads the question on this FOSS end of the internet.

I had no idea a 5’3" guy was ever on the NBA. That’s insane to me. And really inspirational in a way.

Holy shit that’s awesome. So that’s what the guy in Haikyuu would look like in real life (anime about volleyball where one of the protagonists is a short guy who makes up for it because he can run fast and jump real high).

Well that’s sad. But I suppose we’re still in the new, rough period of Lemmy. The Wild West of federated, private server owned link sharing discussion sites.

Probably but people who make their account on Lemmy.world, the most common instance, also never see them.

I was wondering what happened to lemmy.film.

I think they just got cocky being in control for so long, but the right wing have never been ones to let a good disaster go to waste.
