Sure I guess if there’s a fire, or at least believe there’s a fire. Hard to figure out who’s deliberately lying to start shit, and who’s just gullible and vocal on social media.

I think in the context of legislation, interpreting “let pass” to mean “allow to be signed into law” is understandable. But I see you just meant it chronologically.
“let pass”… . is there some major confusion about how presidential vetoes work here, or what do you even mean?
Lmao what is this edge-lord shit?
Linux is a great server OS. It’s an okay desktop OS.
“Big” is not a negative adjective. “Truck” is not (mostly) an identity or demographic group. You’d have to make up some term like maybe “murder trucks” to get close to an analogy. Would you not suppose that someone who advocated against “murder trucks” thought trucks were bad?
“Crowded” - maybe mildly negative. “Places” - not an identity or demographic.
“Toxic” - Ok. “People” - This hardly seems like an identity or demographic. Maybe if martians start talking about “toxic humans” we’d have an analogy.
And that whole last paragraph is just a straw man.
Let’s consider some real analogies.
“Poisonous Hinduism” “Virulent Femininity” “Malignant Jewishness” “Destructive Liberalism” “Pestilent Blackness” “Dangerous Queerness”
I literally just looked up synonyms for toxic and picked random identity groups. Could you imagine trying to make any of these phrases academic terms?

And yet I am bald. Curious.
You know I had this same thought just the other day, and decided to look up some numbers to see just how comparable the situations really are. What I found was that the number of people attempting to cross the US southern border is like four times as many as have tried to cross into Europe, per year. No I didn’t bookmark the source, but you should be able to Google it up like I did. I don’t know why this is a much bigger problem in the US, but it does seem to be.
It sorta looks to me like if you stacked those graphs they’d still be going down.
Doomerism is a vibe. You’re gonna have a hard time talking people down around these parts.
It’s a constitutional amendment that was ruled on. The Constitution applies the same in all states. If it were just Colorado law I think it would be much harder to appeal the ruling to the US Supreme Court.
People don’t hate on Epic because their store has content. They hate on Epic because they tried to buy market share with exclusivity deals. Nobody wants PC gaming to turn into the streaming services.
A truly poor analogy. LLMs don’t remove anything from anywhere. They consume no shared resource.
It’s been wild watching people flail about searching for arguments for why LLMs should be stopped. I’m not even saying they shouldn’t, just that I haven’t seen a solid argument for it.
It’s hilarious how many different definitions of fascism I see on Lemmy on a given day
This is not communism.
Maybe we can federate the communities on our federated instances 🤔
I just tried two of the instances listed with a search for “how to filter mineral spirits”, and they both gave me errors. Both Google and DDG gave me an answer. Is there some trick I’m missing here?
It would be nice to have some opposition, though. Even if most “conservative” media right now is little more than xenophobia, or cult worship, there do exist sound arguments against the typical internet-left positions. I don’t have a solid enough read on what comes through New in the fediverse to say whether any of that is being submitted and just downvoted off everyone’s feeds, or if all that’s being submitted is the average conservative media junk.
Still, political spaces without opposition/diversity invariably degenerate into purity contests, and circle jerking.
