But renewables are already cheaper than fossil fuels and the rest of the world IS going to move on, we can’t stop them, he is limiting our ability to produce energy at the same time the economy is being propped up by new data centers

lol, I think this is the most important takeaway here. We feel a natural pull to understand as critical thinking humans, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if it’s maliciousness or incompetence

So it’s not just that he’s stupid, it’s the russian asset thing?

Is he actually sabotaging us on purpose at this point?

It really sounds like a trash community in every way. You’re so right about that.

I get where you’re coming from, but if they are mentally ill like you say, then “looking better” won’t solve their problems anyway, so offering advice on how to be less ugly wouldn’t be helpful. That’s not hypocrisy, that’s just mental illness.

I think it’s more useful to ask yourself why you’re struggling with hate-watching these people. I know sometimes getting fired up about annoying people on the Internet feels good, but it isn’t usually. I’ve had to literally block apps on my phone for a while to get over it myself.

Does anyone remember when Biden stepped down and Republicans were real mad that the democrats were “hiding” his decline?

🤨

You 🤝 me

I never would have heard about this if not for the fediverse

There’s actually a surprising number of people who still use both. People who feel they’ve been wronged are usually pretty vocal about it. I’m not saying they’re exaggerating or lying or anything either, mind you, just pointing out that’s the way the human mind works. Capital One pissed me off and I told everyone who would listen for like a decade after, but no one really volunteers info about uneventful relationships.

I really relate to this comic. I didn’t like being a child that much, and I feel alienated a lot on the internet by people constantly wishing they could go back to having no responsibilities. I really, really like being able to control my own destiny and decide what I wanna do, even though it comes with increased pressures and responsibilities.

Yeah, people don’t actually care what happen to women and children

Sorta. That ruling allowed them to use race as a criteria, but not the criteria for stopping someone. So the ACLU is seeking to prove that racial profiling is the primary and often only sorting criteria ICE is using, which is currently not allowed as far as we know (or it will force the courts to just admit that racial profiling is 100% open season now).

They’re also calling them tonks, which isn’t so much a racial slur but refers to the sound a flashlight makes when they hit someone over the head with it. It’s not just that they’re no-no words, it’s that the language they are using is very much linked to the violence they are also doing.

There are ongoing cases about the Pretti / Good murders also at a minimum, so it’s not an either-or situation.

That’s not to say that any of this is good or acceptable, mind you. The fact that the country didn’t absolutely grind to a halt over all of this is a massive failure, of course.

And you didn’t even really ouch on the insane toxicity that’s festered there x_x

They are SO friendly toward racism and bigotry as long as you don’t actually say a slur, but then their moderation is such a mess that you can get perma-banned for a sarcastic joke.

Rest in piss!

I am going to try to be hopeful too

It’s more than dozens

I’m really interested in how this is gonna go.

yeah
