Why do .ml’s get so triggered with this topic? And y’all invariably paint NK as these absolute saints when we know what totalitarian regimes do and have done throughout the ages.

Por qué no los dos?

Oh, finally? It only took them a hundred years.

Probably volcanic ash lungs from all the volcanoes in the world erupting all at once due to climate change.

What kind of generational hazard would you like to have growing up, kids? :D

Effortless? Lol! What part of being politically active on top of doing work do you find effortless? Have you ever done it, even? Because I’m sure you’ll be the one providing food, right? Or are you speaking out your butt from the comfort of your privilege?

And also curious that you think people will all organize to do nothing by doing nothing. Yeah, being demonized as lazy is going to work wonders. Like, what part of getting people on your side does not register?

Also, idk to what kind of monolithic American you’re speaking to from that high horse, but it’s quite obvious you’ve never lived in the States if that’s what you think Americans are like. Basing your shitty opinions on pure stereotypes. For shame.

And you’re suggesting that because that has worked before? For a population that’s largely living paycheck to paycheck? The thing about fascism creeping in is that you still need to go to work every day and do your little tasks so you can survive.

I’ve looked at several sites and they all focus on one thing: building a coalition. You only get that by demonstrating it openly and getting people on your side. Because despite what you believe, the protests aren’t all for the fascists, but for the other people who haven’t gotten on board yet. And you need a catalyst, with defiance and force. You do things, not stand around and wait for it to be over.

grow up bud, I’m not here to gheer you up.

Oh no, you’re actively “gheering” people down and what’s my whole beef with these damn comments.

Sure, bud. And what do you suggest people do, then?What’s your big plan for the American people? Lay down and die? Lose hope and let the fascists steamroll over them? How is that any better? I’m not hearing anything but negativity from you.

Are we? That’s news to me. I get out to vote and protest every chance I get. But I don’t see a shortage of people like you who want everyone to do just that.

Yeah, we’re relatively powerless individually, but not collectively, and you seem keen on preventing that from happening at all. There are judges overturning decisions, we got apps tracking ICE, there are mass protests happening outside, we got people helping others survive. There is a large push back, and we need more of it, not less. It’s mind-boggling that your immediate stance is why bother doing anything at all, and you seem to be pulling all the stops to justify it. If you won’t help, at least stop being a negative Nancy for those who will. We’re all doing our part, even if you’re not.

What I don’t understand is why you have to try to drag everyone else down with you, and that makes you sound like you’re already “mourning the country”. Like I said, if you’re tired, you go ahead and lie down on your own, please.

I’m sorry, who’s saying the US will go back to what it once was? If you want to lay down and die, go right ahead, but do it on your own time.

Did you know that Republicans took it upon themselves to curb mail-in voting to prepare for the election and made it as hard as possible to do so in some states? And that many ballots were discarded for the most ridiculous reasons? And that there was a record turnout at the latest election, but for some reason, electronic ballots were discarded?

You can call people lazy all you want but that doesn’t reflect reality.

If you want to go down the path of defeatism without putting up a fight, then yeah. Go fulfil your prophecy.

The day I found out Piqué cheated on Shakira, I knew there were no saints left on this Earth. I mean, you’re with Shakira, am I missing something?

And then promptly get yourself familiar with how the language actually works. https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS

People who complain about JS often assume it has features of other languages and fail to realize it has its own architecture and winding history.

Take a number!

Please do me next. I hate it when people reply to me with dumb shit like that, missing the entire point, as I’ve seen with your other comments.

Yeah, I also talk to ChatGPT sometimes, fully knowing that it’s a flawed machine and that it’s for my amusement. It’s incredible that it can do that! Just like with wireless communication, which I thought was impossible growing up. Like, holy shit, we’re living in the future, why not enjoy it a little? I don’t even think a conversation spans more than six messages tops. It’s amusing, but not that amusing if you can see right through it.

I don’t know what OP is on about but they seem to be on a crusade. They’re citing articles about getting advice from it and having it think for you, totally missing the point of having fun. Like, if you’re against AI, at least give better arguments that address why, instead of throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks.>

PieFed is parallel to Lemmy so it’s being developed by other people, afaik. I think that’s the beauty of the Fediverse, that if you don’t like something or someone, you’re free to make your own.

If your main gripe is with the devs, then definitely switch. I’ve been meaning to but I’ve been lazy. So I guess see you on the other side!
