I advocate for logical and consistent viewpoints on controversial topics. If you’re looking at my profile, I’ve probably made you mad by doing so.
Hispanics have a very high population of religious voters and many of them don’t believe in abortion. For many religious people, even if they disagree handily with everything else the Republican party does, they will not vote Democrat because of the abortion issue.
There was a pretty large research study and a bunch of podcasts on it.
Grabbed the podcast! More detail never hurts. Much appreciated.
usufruct
So… reading the Wikipedia article on it for more info, it doesn’t seem to place any limits on what you can own. It simply lets you makes allowances for others to use something of yours. It doesn’t seem to mention forfeiting unused property in the least.
It’s basically just being a landlord, but with other stuff, no? I’m not following how this isn’t corruptible unless there’s something I’m missing.
Me too. It’s faster than texting and gives you a whole lot of missing context.
I read up on it, but I’m not sure how that’s immune to greed. Are you able to explain?
No political system is perfect. Ever.
They require constant vigilance. They require battling. Human greed is capable of corrupting every system that a human mind can create.
Anyone that tells you they have a perfect political system that would never need fixing is a liar, an idiot, or both.
Have you ever smelled a beefy desiccated detached dick before? Cool. Now cover that in dog spit eight or nine times and let it dry in between.
It smells like that.
All good! Up until the twist I really did enjoy the movie. It’s well shot, it just kind of felt like a betrayal at the time.
I absolutely love horror movies and have a few lined up from the last thread to watch next. Hell House LLC, Lake Mungo, Longlegs, The Blackcoats Daughter, Color out of Space, Mandy, and the two most recent VHS movies are on the docket before the end of the month.
I have a furious fucking hate for this movie.
As someone who was routinely abused by religious family members who told me how evil I was, I went to the movie thinking I would see some kind of payback to these definitely evil characters.
Then the movie said “lol jk. The religious assholes were right because God said so.”
Absolutely spot on, though I didn’t find it edgy. The third season was mediocre and the fourth was kinda bad.
Huh. That’s actually a really good idea.
Or… and hear me out here… Maybe it could cost 10 cents to downvote someone. Not enough to be egregious, but the funds could be used to help keep the server afloat and would make you think twice about downvoting comments you only mildly disagree with.
Thank you for the reply. The majority of my thoughts were very much in line with what you said and it’s sort of what I feared.
I’m not sure how to continue with things as they are as it feels like trying to start a dialogue with a wall at times. I hadn’t considered mobile platforms as part of the issue, but you are most likely correct.
Link Between Worlds was awesome as well.
Well you gotta kick boots. What else you gonna do, kick sandals? That’s just insane.

For anyone looking, someone Archive.org’d the final Win x64 compiled version:
What was the final build? I have 1.1.1402 on my PC.
I don’t think that’s called an accent, that’s an affectation.
I think we have to focus on individual action AND hold corporations accountable. The thing I see over and over is people blaming one or the other, but many corporations only pollute as much as they do BECAUSE of individuals using their products or services (see the plastics industry for one example). I do believe that corporations should be financially liable for helping cleanup of any waste they create.
Oh, and outlaw private fucking jets.
Geoengineering can work on a limited scale (cloud seeding, blasting ocean water into the air, etc.), but especially in smaller countries, would require buy-in from neighbour countries to avoid conflict. Some of the solutions I’ve seen presented are pretty massive in scale and would need nearly the whole world involved to accomplish.
As someone who had forestry and ecology in high school, I think environmental impact education would be valuable in a class focusing on life education (in Canada, we called it Career And Life Management or CALM for short at the time). Of course, some thing has to be given up to do that, and I would suggest rolling back a lot of the mathematics requirements and placing them in college courses where they used to be. As an anecdote, my grandfather worked with the Canadian Space Agency and was stumped by my grade 10 math homework 25 years ago. He said a lot of what I was learning in Math 10 was stuff that was in advanced courses in college when he was younger. One of these skillsets is far more useful broadly in education and life…
Not great. Sort of lost my will to post after a bunch of experiments over at !actual_discussion@lemmy.ca
If I post pure questions in the weekly thread, generally one or two people respond. Political or not, it doesn’t seem to matter.
If I post questions with some opinion added, people respond more frequently to those (even if I do not believe the opinion), but we get scads of aggressive comments and downvotes which buries the thread quickly.
To top that off, if I respond in other threads in Lemmy, I get people digging up the weekly threads (or responses therein) and trying to use those as ammunition against me. It’s super disheartening.
