Yes gender in quotes since there at least 7 different definitions floating around, some in the dictionary for decades, some floated on Tumblr circa 2012.

The best thing that Democrats can do is come up with a popular governing vision and then storm back in the 2026 midterms.

Personally I would think this would have to compromise on immigration and the worst culture war excesses of the left, while emphasizing support for the working class and most importantly good governance.

Vermont tried for a version of universal healthcare about 10 years ago, and they decided the cost was too high.

Every state has a program for poor people that’s in part funded by Federal tax dollars.

You also have to address the free rider problem by vesting benefits in.

So religion then

She posted a nuanced video about hormones and surgery on trans-identified minors, that considered both sides of the issue. If you find that “absolute horseshit” then you are not interested in science but in religion.

Lemmy has some of the most tiresome people, like a completely humorless version of the most circlejerk parts of reddit. Why am I here then. Because how are we ever gonna have a reddit alternative if we don’t have at least a few normal people.

That seems fine, if distasteful? Like I’m in support of free expression

What is with hexbear and lemmygrad…why are people calling these out

This is the twitter and reddit ethos. Everyone is Super Smart and You Are Wrong Ha Ha.

On reddit you can find smaller communities where people are more normal and it’s closer to having a discussion at a bar than it is going on to /r/politics or something.

It is a lot easier to meet people in a big city. I live in New York City and am a member of a variety of groups where I could go out and hang with random people every night (and play trivia, board games, go drinking etc).

In the end, socialization requires effort and commitment either way.

Zuck sucks but this open letter is embarrassing. Dial back the smarm and self-righteousness a couple notches. I get it’s marketing and not really an open letter but still, cringe

I recommend therapy.

Poe’s law detector fail

chill
