It’s not even about Kirk. It’s about calling out Trump for being full of shit. Trump got asked about grieving Kirk, said he was fine then began talking about trucks starting construction.

Yeah, I don’t think it is, but it’s the end result that concerns me.

The UK is the testing grounds. After they figure it out, they’ll be rolling it out everywhere else.

Pretty sure christians get lots of hate on Reddit too. If you want a christian echo chamber just go to a church, not internet social media.

Edit: to be honest, a lot of us are on the internet just to get away from religious people.

Lack of diversity, imo.

If you’re (edit)NOT(/edit) into Star Trek, Linux, coding, or politics there’s not that much content. Which isn’t gonna attract too many new people, and is probably alienating to many of the new users checking out the fediverse.

I hate the ads & the Reddit app, but Lemmy feels like more of an echo chamber than Reddit does.

I’d wanna be able to fly, or teleport, or use magic, if I was in heaven, but I guess that means I have a good life.

Which sucks because I did use to think that “Made in the USA” meant better quality.

That’s true, but we could subsidize the cost of labor too. People make a living wage, but the company pays less than that because government covers the difference.

Maybe the USA should heavily invest in the industry of the USA, just like China does, in order to keep up? No, then USian companies would have oversight & have to meet expectations, and we all know that they wouldn’t want that.

There was a time when it was ok to be unwelcoming towards stupidity. They weren’t better times, but they were delusional in a different way.

Harassment sure, but not abuse.

Thank you for making laugh in the middle of my life loathing rant 😂

This is one of my favorite greentexts ever

The ones that created the government had to actually fight for their freedom. People became complacent afterwards, and seem to think that freedom is a given.

It reminds me of some quote “freedom isn’t owned, it’s rented, and rent is due everyday.”

Oops, my bad. Thanks. It’s been corrected.

Federated social media is decentralized, so one single jackass can’t control it completely.

Like, maybe Elon Musk buys pawb.social, he now controls pawb.social & can be a tyrant in pawb.social just like he has been with Twitter.

He still can’t control quokk.au, or lemmy.world, or feddit.org, or lemmy.ca, or lemmy.dbzer0.com, or lemmy.blahaj.zone, etc.

And in the extremely unlikely event that if Elon does manage to buy pawb.social, it is extremely likely that many lemmy servers would just defederate from pawb.social & leave pawb.social isolated from the rest of the fediverse.

Or good

Respect. But we don’t know each other, ok?

Well radio was originally mostly about advertising, and when TV came around it was just gonna be radio but with moving pictures! So yeah, it was about spreading more advertisements around to more people.

Humans evolved from animals that walked on the ground, on the part of the hand/foot we would call fingers/toes. Like most animals btw (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitigrade?wprov=sfti1).

Then the those animals transitioned into arboreal creatures, which evolved hands in order to climb & live in trees. These animals would’ve had hands & feet like monkeys.

Then those arboreal animals transitioned back into walking animals that didn’t climb as much, which turned their feet into something more like chimp/gorilla feet.

Then those animals began walking upright, which changed their feet to lose the ability to grasp since they no longer climbed as much. This is what gave humans the feet we have now.
