How did you find out about Lemmy? It seems it's mostly a niche place for tech nerds and commies and you don't seem to be either? Also what keeps you here? Wouldn't the NPD push you towards more popular platforms?

Sorry for asking so many questions - your experience sounds very unique and you actually seem very eloquent and thoughtful.

this looks kinda bad no? I mean electric/hybrids are better than gas/diesel but they are still worse than public transit so the growing trend of more cars is kinda sad

"The women footballers are Hezbollah!!" - I'd like to believe her kick was so powerful it threatened Israel's security..

Riiiight, that's why on a lemmygrad post literally defending Russian war camps as western propaganda (and how the oppression of Uyghurs was completely fabricated) I got downvoted to hell for even suggesting that China was complicit in Uyghur ethnic cleansing, as if they're not de facto enforcing Putonghua onto all ethnic groups within its territory - but they said it's fine since why is teaching people skills and languages bad...

I'm sure you'd make the same argument that it's actually to the benefit of a third of African counties, India and the Philippines for their official language to be English. See the British empire just wanted to teach them languages and free market skills so they could escape their "poverty and backwardness" (the literal words the Chinese gov uses for Xinjiang residents) - so I don't see how your point about "none fully support Russia" stands when hardcore MLs are literally full out defending any actions Russia and China take as not only justified but morally good...

uhm you do understand that's literally what the meme is talking about right?

leftists generally don't vote for dems - serious leftists aren't anti-gun neocons - most are marxists-leninists, anarchists, maoists, anti-imperialists, etc - which very much recognize the need for individuals being able to defend themselves and their communities (look at the Black Panthers for an example)

the fact that you think "left=gun control" only shows the state of political discourse and the impenetrable wool that's been pulled in front of your eyes.

note: this obvs doesn't mean that leftists would have voted for trump because of his promises of laxed gun control (since that would be single-issue voting and you'd have to gloss over him being a racist, bigoted, capitalistic skid mark) but maybe if gun control was the sole reason you would vote for him but had a real leftist party that was pro-gun you might have gone for them instead (unless you agree with his hateful rhetoric ofc)

I think people have been weirdly authoritarian when it comes to drag's pronoun - personally don't get why they can respect others pronouns but not drag's 🤷‍♀️ (still doesn't mean because they're disrespectful about that they're wrong about everything)

Girl, the whole point of eggs is that the only way to hatch them is to provide a warm environment and let the chick break out the egg on their own

"breaking people's eggs" is harmful thinking and while I understand where you're coming from (wanting to help people transition earlier so they can accept themselves, pass better avoid suicide, etc) - this is not the way - you can't force others to make decisions about themselves - they have to come to their conclusions on their own terms - otherwise you're recreating the same issues you're trying to solve

imagine breaking somebody's egg and then it turns out they were just into cross-dressing but you kept insisting "nah you're in denial you're actually trans - start transitioning now you'll regret it later if you don't" - and then they transition and find out that's not what they wanted and take their own life because of irreversible changes they can't afford to change that make them incredibly dysphoric - are you ready to accept that responsibility? and even if you are - do you see how it's not your choice to make?

"I did what I could" - ie voted once in 4 years for the genocide party

DID YOU TRY PROTESTING MOTHERFUCKER!?!?

the demo is really trippy - very dreamlike - obvs not an actual game but interesting to think what could be achieved if it learned about object permanence for example

One of the recent climate papers on the topic (from accredited researchers but not yet peer reviewed) estimates "The earliest year (mean 10% percentile level) for a potential AMOC collapse is 2037 and the latest year (mean 90% percentile level) is 2064" and "Applying the same procedure to SODA and GLORYS results in 91% and 92% collapse probabilities before 2050, respectively" - which if proven to be even remotely true is not just concerning but actually apocalyptical - it means mainland Europe might begin seeing +40 summers and -20 winters in the next 20-30 years - which makes it practically impossible to develop infrastructure in that timeframe that can survive such harsh temperature swings.

For anyone that has kids or is under 30 and plans on trying to survive - as preppy as it might sound - I would recommend starting to think about underground dwellings and controlled environment hydroponic gardening asap.
