As soon as you add one electric vehicle, you also need to deploy your entire electric vehicle infrastructure. Generation, charging, maintenance, vendors, etc. Then until you retire your last legacy vehicle, you have to maintain your entire legacy infrastructure.

the real WTF is taking a photo of your monitor

There are ten livestock animals in captivity for every one human. You’re still lucky to be born a human anywhere on earth, because we are the monsters.

I know you are being facetious but it struck a nerve because it’s uncomfortably close to things my young partner in social services has actually said unironically. I’m horrified to learn they have internalized a lot of the bad faith arguments they heard from their idiot father growing up. It’s like they’ve decided that unions are bad, strikes are wrong, and then work backwards from there. No sense of class solidarity or how they benefit from other unions doing well. I hope it doesn’t reflect the common attitude of young people.

Go, team Venture. :-(

The satanic panic. It made playing RPGs and video games feel so fucking metal.

I wish I could still get something out of ratatat. Its like when you watch your favourite genre of porn until it just doesn’t work anymore.

What is “Spotify wrapped”?

Edit: ok i get it now

Strong boomer energy

Okay. Interesting premise. Now you have to rationally show how that leads to dictatorship. Or you’re just a monkey flinging shit. A broken, insecure, triggered person who is anger posting in bad faith for his own emotional needs.

You are just telling us SO much about yourself, right now.

We say we’re not. But we keep coming back to it. Lemmy is only better than Reddit in the sense that capital isn’t exploiting us. But it’s still Reddit in every other respect, and we get to engage in our stupid little addiction with less social harm.

There are lots of places we could go for meaningful discussion. And sometimes that happens here, too! But it happens in the context of the medium, which absolutely does encourage circle jerking, dog piling, groupthink, and meme culture. Look, you can use a chisel in place of a Phillips screwdriver, but you’re going to get hurt a lot. Giving people downvotes and then telling them, tsk tsk, you must be NICE with your downvotes… it’s just an uphill battle.

Why are you acting like there is a MEANINGFUL difference? The differences that you state are arbitrary. Who cares if it was personal or not? Murders are almost NEVER random, so what?

Clearly in your mind the difference between assassination and murder is not only obvious, but it is super important and relevant in some way that no one else here is getting. Assassination IS murder. SO what is your point, exactly?! Why are you so het up about what is really nothing more than a question of pedantry?? To the point that you are insulting the intelligence of everyone who doesn’t see things your way. It sounds like you have some kind of emotional issue with this.

I think you need to make a point about how this is more than “just” a murder, but possibly an attempt to influence the behaviour of other CEOs, or something like that.

Lemmy is at risk of becoming a circle jerk and an echo chamber

I’m not sure anyone aspires for it to be anything more than that.

people aren’t posting them because they’re worried about downvotes.

Such people are looking for a different medium. This is ersatz Reddit. We downvote. It’s fundamental to the culture and the format. It doesn’t have to appeal to everyone. There’s the whole rest of the Fediverse, where AFAIK you will not find a single downvote.

The ambitions and interests of Trudeau might (for the sake of argument) be, “do whatever it takes to stay in office,” but the interests of the people who have the power to put him there are, “maximize my financial profits.” He is going to be thrown under the bus exactly so that these sorts of reforms don’t have to become a serious option for another ten years.

Garbage Pail Kid cards.

If wealthy people aren’t content, they can improve the system for everyone.

There is no “supposed to be used” for. They are meaningless internet points that we give to comments and posts for our own emotional enjoyment. Treating it as more than that is always going to cause problems.

We’re REALLY like you to explain the difference you see. Even if we think there is one, no one has any idea what you are talking about.
