If anything, Lemmy is worse. I found on reddit, if you at least provided evidence or support for your argument, most of the time people would at least keep your score neutral. Here though, it doesn’t matter what you provide; even if you are 100% correct with no room for argument, people will still downvote you if what you say doesn’t fit the narrative they want to believe.

Give anyone a ton of money and power and eventually they will turn into a sociopath. “Anyone” includes autistic people. We are not magical fairies immune to the basics of human corruption.

The 18-29 crowd makes up less than 10% of current early/voting figures. Doesn’t matter too much how Trump or Kamala is polling with the younger generation, because just like every election in the past, the younger generation doesn’t show up to vote.

I mean, it might have made sense if it lined up with the equatorial channel that the death star has. If the inside was exploding and that was the weakest area, material would be ejected out the ring first before the rest of the structure exploded. That might, indeed cause a ring effect. But in this scene the ring is going vertically, not horizontally. So yea, doesn’t make much sense.

Not true everywhere. Many buildings, especially industrial, require a flush of the fire suppression system annually or biannually to test that everything is still functional.

The small, inert lump of metal? No, it’s fine. 9 times out of 10, you’re going to do more damage trying to dig the bullet out rather than just patching things up. Even surgeons will sometimes leave bullets in if it’s in a dangerous/tricky spot.

A proper way to handle this would be the hero catching them and then immediately rolling a ton of times while still in the air, turning the downward velocity into angular velocity and gradually reducing the momentum. The person may still pass out from the g forces, but they won’t be a pancake.

“So you think it’s funny to hide figs on the top of your spear, do you, soldier?!”

No, it’s a bullshit comparison because the equivalent to “Jewish-Power-run Ministry” would be “Muslim-Terrorism-run Ministry”, which is not what is being said.

If he belonged to a named group with political goals and motivations, I don’t think it would be unfair to call the prisons run by that group. I don’t think your comparison is as much of a “gotcha” as you think it is.

Which is why I feel that for humanity to succeed we will eventually need an entirely new form of societal governance to replace capitalism & communism, just as those systems replaced feudalism and tribalism. Something like technoism where decisions are made and enacted by machines, incapable of self motivation; or geneticism where leaders’ selfish impulses are either bred or edited out of them. We are still many, many years off from technology being able to accomplish this, but the only way to overcome the human factor is to… well… remove the human factor.

So dumb. What’s even the point of it? Meaningless text photoshopped onto a completely unrelated picture. Why? Just so they can post to the pics community?

A dumbshit extremist religion funded and pushed by the Saudi’s broke their country.

Look at how the country was in the 60s and tell me any decade since hasn’t been exponentially worse. That shit plunged them back into the dark ages.

I’m gonna need to see the shirt, not just read what the slogan said. I can’t make any judgement until then because there could very well be more to the story. I’m leaning toward Delta being ridiculous especially if it was just words on a shirt But what if the shirt had someone hanging from a noose or dead from a gunshot wound? What if it looks like the shirt was covered in blood? More context is needed.

Can we not have religious extremists of any flavor in office please?

Have you never watched The Price Is Right?

In this particular engagement, zero. Did you think you had something there?

Yes, yes, you’ve already made clear you’re an anarchist and no government will ever be acceptable to you.
