Just my two cents, but there’s just no reason for people to come here when it’s 80+% political shit a

As a contra point, I’m glad that its like this, a lack of politcal debate is toxic to democracy and that way be dragons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses

In a political context, the phrase means to generate public approval, not by excellence in public service or public policy, but by diversion, distraction, or by satisfying the most immediate or base requirements of a populace, by offering a palliative: for example food (bread) or entertainment (circuses). Juvenal originally used it to decry the “selfishness” of common people and their neglect of wider concerns. The phrase implies a population’s erosion or ignorance of civic duty as a priority.

That doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be more other stuff as well though.

It really rustles my jimmies

Why ? Who gives a shit, they are people.

Should people born there have their “jimmies rustled” because immgrants we’re allowed in at all ?

The fuck is worng with you ?

If the other 60% do nothing its like inviting nazis over dinner and being ok with that becase you’re not a Nazi Yes you are! .

Humans organised by hierarchy.

It never works and always ends with civilisations that ever attempt it collapsing. No matter how often we do the same dumb shit over and over it never works… Are we insane anons ?

Why do journalists do this sort of thing

FOX has always said it’s entertainment, not News. They use that defence in court cases. They’re not journalists, they’re entertainers.

You have the left wing politicians

All 4 of them

Is he talking about killing Trump?

As an Australian, same here.

That said its bemused me as to why we’re even there.

Well sure but to be fair they didn’t have the correct visas. Most countries are anal about non citizens having the correct visas, especially while working illegally.

Assimov changed to writibg from being a Professor of Biochemistry, he gave the reaon as writing paid more.

I’m annoyed that they only regret their votes when it directly affects them negatively in a super clear and direct way.

That’s a key identifier of conservatives … and stupid people but I repeat myself.

“I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative” - John Stuart Mill

And Cipolla

“A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.”

doesn’t read that he’s changed his mind about Trump, be just doesn’t agree with this particular thing.

Anddddd… He’s back!

Foolosh ? stupid

These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

Same with Boost, I just don’t use my piefed account becase no Boost support…

Well, that explains the errors. I thought maybe I’d been a very naughty boy and it was me. I have switched to my alt lemmy.world account.

Support the artists ? Buying from Apple (or Amazon etc) sees you supporting Apple, supporting the publisher, the RIAA. The Artist is at the end of a long chain of grifters and middle men taking their pound of flesh… I’d love to support the artists, if I could donate directly to them. The ones who aren’t, like Taylor Swift don’t need more supoort.

I think thays a good compromise. if you then have an issie with a particular user you can block them individually.

I don’t log in to YT to watch any videos, I alao use Newpipe and Stube sans account. Grouping them in Tabs to get to is great for me.
