Beats the alternative.

Which one is killing us faster? I’m pretty sure it’s the USA. Nice that you get to live in a democracy I guess but that doesn’t mean a damn thing to someone living outside the USA and being exploited and abused by it.

The Hobbit is far better than LotR. It’s no contest.

For the audience who get their political information from fucking Twitter, that’s just fine.

No, but it might be to charge a “missed appointment fee” if you don’t get there on time. That’s the fucking difference between punishment and consequences.

This is identical to “drug addicts choose to be drug addicts and so do not deserve medical care” except it’s closer to “blind people choose to be blind”

I mean, ignoring the whole federation/syndication/self hostability/freedom/raison d’etre parts, yeah.

Then why are you so afraid to say, “Yes, please show me your evidence. I will read it and consider your point?” You would rather attack my evidence without ever knowing what it is, because you are not engaging in good faith.

You could argue it was the whole point. The rest of fediverse is significantly different, and you can still interact with lemmy from there.

Straight people are the worst of all options.

People actually use bitcoin for critical use cases. It satisfies needs in their lives that don’t just have to do with crypto. Another vanity coin is not a substitute.
