You’re absolutely right. And if you try them yourself, unfortunately most drugs are really good, at first.

Having a choice means being able to make the wrong one, as we did.

It does beg the question who pays the insurance until your get it the first time. I suspect you do though.

Yeah I’ll take the free backpack over the actual “Yellowstone brand” to be part of the gang.

You aren’t wrong in that the democrats prefer the status quo but it’s far from both sides being the same. If we have to pick a side, and if we are still pro democracy, we do, there is only one correct choice.

Now if we can convince that side to then use the victory to change the rules, then so be it. For example, Ranked choice voting would be great, but let’s get more states to use it before expecting the highest office in the land to adopt it.

The Pope cried out “take me JC!”

Unfortunately his right hand man is a bit hard of hearing, and let JD into the room…

Yeah OP is right if they are just going to surf the web.

It’s true for more popular sub forums but it sucks for hobbies and more niche topics.

I suspect you ain’t really supposed to play on it either.

He has the same problem I have at work. When everything is going well, no one really knows. The servers keep running and everyone is happy with IT, but after a while, people start to question what it is we are doing.

On one hand, you don’t want purely state controlled media. On the other hand, you don’t want privately owned profit-driven media. The answer lies somewhere in the middle but how do you protect it from corruption?

Hehe, they are popular. More expensive now too!…

Here she is ready for lunch!

She’s learning to meet my two boys between the glass and screen. If I can get them to get along, I’d love to bring her indoors. Luckily she has all her shots and tests now, so really it’s just a small problem with teeth and claws.

She’s so gonna end up a “news anchor” one day, huh?

The problem is their aren’t enough of them willing to speak up so the few that might don’t wish to lose their power, so they remain quiet convincing themselves they are doing the right thing by “living to fight another day”.

Trump is reliving the glorious P tape days.

If you’re MAGA at this point, you’re okay with Nazis.

It basically means they don’t understand the rules of the game. If they are willing to learn, cool, but many are not.

They need to understand that their logic is flawed. If they won’t, they will not make the right choice anyhow.

🤷

I want to use Lemmy more but the content just isn’t enough yet especially on niche topics and hobbies. I do try to come here for the “front page” over Reddit, since those posts on Reddit get so many replies you ain’t reading them all anyways.

But when it’s time to talk World of Warcraft, for example, Lemmy is mostly dead.
